This Online Game Developer is Definitely Problematic

A turn-based online game that hadn’t been updated for half a year, had a development budget seven times that of its competitors, yet only made a tenth of their revenue—a total failure. A game t...

Chapter 494 Why is your face so red?

Linmu Studio.

At the same time everything happened.

Lin Yao was sitting in her seat, lowering her head to draw the performance of the Flame Demon King that she wanted.

She looked no different from usual.

There was not much extra expression on her fair face.

With You Qi being kicked out, his account banned, and screenshots of the campus forum leaked.

Most of the staff at Linmu Studio were relieved.

Everything was back on track.

Everyone also put down their worries about Lin Yao.

However.

There was an exception.

"..."

Lin Yao was holding a pen, frowning slightly and considering the perspective of the picture.

Because she was concentrating.

She didn't notice that there were light footsteps behind her.

Until.

A cold touch came from her cheek.

"Ah!!!"

Lin Yao let out a short exclamation, holding a pen in her hand, and her whole body shrank back in the chair, assuming a defensive posture.

And when she saw what was next to her cheek.

She flicked her ponytail and turned her head.

Mu Wanqing had a gentle smile on her face. When she saw Lin Yao turn around, she handed the drink in her hand to her.

"Mu Wanqing, aren't you afraid that I will fire you!"

Lin Yao took the drink and said viciously.

"Afraid."

Mu Wanqing nodded gently and said very frankly.

Is that so? It would be better if she had a little bit of nervousness on her face...

"..."

Lin Yao was too lazy to argue with her. She turned back, pulled the ring of the can, and then took a sip carefully.

Well, it tastes like coconut, which is okay.

It's not a strange taste.

Mu Wanqing looked at the cautious girl, smiled gently, then thought about it, and suddenly took a step forward.

"Is the relocation of the administrative department over?"

Lin Yao found that her ponytail was untied, and at the same time felt Mu Wanqing's gentle combing of her hair, and asked softly.

"No, it's quite troublesome." Mu Wanqing shook her head gently.

"Then do you still have time to help me comb my hair?"

Lin Yao put down the drink in her hand.

Mu Wanqing hesitated for a moment and whispered back, "Because I'm worried about you."

"What are you worried about me?" Lin Yao was slightly startled when she heard this.

"...You don't look very happy."

Mu Wanqing paused, then whispered.

"No, not unhappy, and how can you tell that I'm unhappy?"

Lin Yao felt a little amused when she heard this, and wanted to turn her head away, but halfway through, she suddenly remembered that her hair was still in someone else's hands, and immediately stopped. The girl

who was so reckless that she forgot that she had long hair, and then suddenly turned her head and cried in pain, seemed to have grown up a little...

"I didn't see it." Although Mu Wanqing knew that Lin Yao couldn't see it, she still shook her head gently.

"Then why do you think I'm unhappy?"

"Intuition."

"That's all right."

Lin Yao heard this, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Lin Yao..." Mu Wanqing didn't answer, but suddenly let go of Lin Yao's soft hair, put her hands on her shoulders, and then gently wrapped her arms around her neck.

"...Actually it's nothing, I'm not unhappy, I'm just a little worried."

Lin Yao felt her movements, was silent for a moment, sighed, and said.

"Worried?"

"Yeah."

Lin Yao nodded, then smiled: "This time, you are too worried about me, not only you, but the whole studio seems to be affected... Your attitude also let me know that it's best to cut the Gordian knot, otherwise everyone will probably feel uncomfortable...

And the final effect is pretty good, I am also very satisfied. But after being satisfied, I am a little worried about my condition."

"...What are you worried about?" Mu Wanqing leaned forward slightly, lowered her body, put her snow-white chin on Lin Yao's head, and asked softly.

"I can't explain it clearly."

Lin Yao thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "I just feel that similar things will probably happen more in the future. As the scale of Linmu Studio grows, it will receive more and more attention and attention... Of course, it will make more and more money.

In the face of this situation, I have seen two bloody examples with my own eyes. They hated the malice brought by the game as a carrier and chose to give up; or, worse, they would do anything to get it."

"Ms. Mu, when I saw You Qi's remarks, I was so angry that I couldn't control my emotions. I even felt disgusted with the carrier. Although I calmed down in the end, my thoughts at that time were real. Although I haven't had the opportunity to try it, Linmu Studio is now the most profitable game company in China, and it is estimated that it will make more money in the future." "

And I am not mature enough."

Lin Yao finished the last sentence, frowning her beautiful eyebrows and gently pursing her bright and moist lips.

"..."

Mu Wanqing was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled, and rubbed Lin Yao's hair with her snow-white chin.

"What are you laughing at?" Lin Yao heard her laughter and couldn't help but straighten her waist and gently bumped her chin with her head.

"Nothing, I just think you are too strict with yourself, Lin Yao."

Mu Wanqing couldn't help laughing and said softly, "You are younger than me, why are you so strict with yourself? Moreover, although I don't know which company you cited as an example, the fact that you can think of this step has already proved that you are better than other helmsmen. You will not go to that point. I am very sure of this."

"It's not strict. Linmu Studio is now quite large." Lin Yao shook her head gently and retorted, "Besides, you are sure that it is useless. Who knows what will happen in the future..."

"Then there is me."

Mu Wanqing was silent for a moment and whispered, "I can remind you then... no matter when."

Lin Yao heard this and was a little amused: "Ms. Mu, you really dare to say, no matter when... Then you have to stay in Linmu Studio for the rest of your life... No, I might run away, so to be more precise, you have to stay by my side for the rest of your life, so that it can be 'no matter when'."

"..."

Mu Wanqing was silent for a longer time after hearing this.

Just when Lin Yao was wondering if there was something wrong with her words and was about to make amends.

The black silk stockings and glasses girl suddenly spoke, whispering, "I didn't say no."

"..."

Lin Yao was stunned.

Because Mu Wanqing put her snow-white chin on her head, she could clearly hear Mu Wanqing's breathing.

It seemed a little chaotic.

"Miss Mu..."

After a while.

Lin Yao finally came back to her senses, smiled softly, and then turned her head to see her expression.

But this action without any warning was obviously beyond Mu Wanqing's expectations...

She had already lowered her body and supported herself on Lin Yao's head.

Lin Yao suddenly turned her head, and she lost her support point and could not control her center of gravity.

At this time, Lin Yao just turned her head.

The faces of the two people crossed directly...

"..."

Lin Yao stopped talking suddenly, feeling the soft touch on her face, looking at Mu Wanqing's beautiful face close at hand, and blinked.

Mu Wanqing was stunned for half a second, and suddenly raised her head.

"Ms. Mu, have you practiced this?"

Lin Yao reached out and gently wiped her face, and finally said what she wanted to say,

"I have something else to do... about relocation... I'm leaving..."

But Mu Wanqing didn't seem to want to continue chatting with her...

She turned around and left quickly.

But she had only taken two steps. She

just bumped into Zhu Nianqiao who was coming down from upstairs.

Zhu Nianqiao walked towards the direction where Mu Wanqing came from with full energy, and then suddenly stopped a few steps away from Mu Wanqing.

She looked at Mu Wanqing in surprise, and then asked in confusion: "Ms. Mu, why is your face so red?"

"... It's so noisy!"

Mu Wanqing was silent for a moment, and then for the first time, in front of the staff other than Lin Yao, she showed her emotions... impatience and shame.

When Zhu Nianqiao heard Mu Wanqing's tone, her shoulders shrank directly.

Like a quail.

On the other side.

Lin Yao sat in her seat, looked at the lady in front of her who was wearing a professional suit and high heels, and whose curvaceous figure was particularly pleasing to the eye, and then looked at Zhu Nianqiao who was like a quail next to her, and suddenly burst out laughing.

The haze in her heart was swept away in an instant.

"Senior sister, what happened to Miss Mu?"

Soon.

Zhu Nianqiao shrank her shoulders and came to Lin Yao's side like a refugee, with three parts of fear and seven parts of curiosity, and asked Lin Yao.

"Who knows."

Lin Yao shrugged, then turned her chair, picked up the pencil again, humming a song, and continued the unfinished work just now.

She seemed very happy.

Zhu Nianqiao: "..."

...

This afternoon.

Lin Yao was in a particularly good mood.

All the staff members sensed this.

However, most of the staff members did not think much about it. After all, You Qi was fired, which was indeed a good thing. It

was normal for her to be happy.

And Lin Yao did not explain this, but felt it was a bit of a pity.

So happy.

Miss Mu didn't show up in front of her the whole afternoon...

Lin Yao wanted to stop him after work, but she didn't catch him. She seemed to be avoiding Lin Yao on purpose.

There was no other way.

Lin Yao could only go back alone.

"I always have to learn to forget and learn to heal. I always have to stumble and fall before I can find the answer..."

Lin Yao hummed softly, took out the key to open the door, changed her shoes in the entrance, then stretched, stepped on slippers, trotted to the living room, and was about to lie down.

But just after arriving in the living room, before Lin Yao had time to lie down, she saw Lin Xi sitting on the sofa, holding a tape measure, and muttering something.

"Sister, you're back?" Lin Yao paused as she pounced on the sofa.

"Well, are you tired?"

Lin Xi also noticed her sister at this time, raised her head, and smiled gently.

"It's okay."

Seeing that she couldn't lie down, Lin Yao could only sit down next to Lin Xi. At the same time, she curiously glanced at the tape measure in her hand and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'm measuring my waist to see the effect of "Ring Fit Adventure."

Lin Xi looked at Lin Yao's round and pretty oval face, a little puzzled. Although she was answering the question, her mind didn't seem to be on it.

"Then why are you staring at my face... Is it effective?"

Lin Yao also noticed her sister's gaze and asked a little strangely, and then asked about the topic she was interested in.

"Nothing... The effect is quite good."

Lin Xi shook her head gently, and then smiled gently.

"Meow~"

At this time.

The gray and white ragdoll cat at home suddenly jumped onto the table and called out, attracting the attention of the two.

The two sisters turned around at the same time and looked at the cat.

Then, as she looked at it, Lin Xi shifted her gaze and looked at her sister's fair profile again.

"What?" Lin Yao also turned around.

"Do you want to measure?" Lin Xi raised the tape measure in her hand and tilted her head: "Sister can help you."

"No, I don't care about my waistline." Lin Yao shook her head.

"I don't mean the waistline... It will be very hard to wear inappropriate underwear all the time, so let's measure it."

Lin Xi shook her head gently.

"What do you mean inappropriate? Who told you that?" Lin Yao was instantly furious.

"You said it yourself. You kept complaining about being uncomfortable."

Lin Xi smiled gently, and then suddenly moved towards Lin Yao.

"Go away! If you don't want to measure, I, Lin Yao, will..."

A few minutes later.

"Meow."

The ragdoll cat sat elegantly on the coffee table, looking at the two sisters sitting on the sofa.

Its little head blocked most of the two sisters' bodies, and it could only be barely seen that Lin Yao raised a pair of snow-white arms, with a slight blush on her round and pretty oval face.

"Is it done!" Lin Yao said anxiously.

"It's almost done, don't worry."

Lin Xi couldn't help laughing, and lowered his head to start combing the tape measure.

Lin Yao closed his mouth.

After a while.

It seemed that it was finally done. Lin Xi raised his head, but did not look at the size on the tape measure in his hand, but looked at Lin Yao's face again.

"Huh?" Lin Yao noticed her gaze.

"Xiaoyao, what happened?" Lin Xi asked softly, "I saw that you were not in a good state yesterday. I came back early today because I was worried about you, but you seem to have recovered... What happened?"

"..."

After hearing Lin Xi's words, Lin Yao finally understood why she came back early without saying hello today.

She sighed a little and said that women's intuition is really terrible. After thinking about it, she also explained her worries to her.

"Is that so..."

After hearing Lin Yao's words, Lin Xi suddenly realized it, and then smiled gently: "In fact, my sister had a similar feeling when she just took over Linmu Financial Holdings."

"Oh?"

Lin Yao had been holding her hand up, and she was indeed a little tired... Seeing that Lin Xi didn't seem to be in a hurry to measure, she put her hand down and looked at her curiously.

"Meow~"

At this time, the ragdoll cat also moved its position. It turned its eyes away from the two sisters and looked to the other side, but its tail swept gently, still blocking the figures of the two sisters.

"Well, the policy was not so tight at that time, and Linmu Financial Holdings was in a good situation."

Lin Xi nodded gently, and then said softly: "I used to worry that I would become such a bad person as you said, but in the end, I found that I was worrying too much. This is impossible... because I don't want to be looked down upon by you."

Lin Yao: "..."

"So, don't worry." Lin Xi gently rubbed her head.

"What if I am not afraid of being looked down upon by you?" Lin Yao was silent for a moment, and suddenly said.

"Then sister will stop you."

Lin Xi lowered her head again, picked up the tape measure, and finally remembered what to do, and determined the size: "After all, I have always been by your side."

"..."

Lin Yao was slightly startled when she heard this, and then smiled gently.

She sighed at the sensitivity of the two women she cared about most, and also felt at ease.

It's great...

"Okay."

At this time.

Lin Xi also smiled, moved his eyes away from the tape measure, looked at his sister again, and said: "The size is 9..."

"Okay! No need to say! I'll see it myself!"

Lin Yao suddenly came back to her senses, interrupted her, and then snatched the tape measure and looked at it herself.

"You're growing so fast." Lin Xi didn't mind, but said this with a little bit of emotion and a hint of sarcasm.

Lin Yao confirmed the size herself, and then when she heard Lin Xi's words, she looked up and suddenly said, "Sister, I can't measure it by myself, can I?"

"Ah?"

Lin Xi seemed to realize something, moved to the side, and left Lin Yao's side: "I don't need it..."

"You wish!"

Lin Yao said, then rushed over and knocked Lin Xi down to prevent her from escaping.

And Lin Xi, in fact, just started to struggle... As Lin Yao showed her determination, she gave up struggling and let her unbutton her shirt.

On the other side.

The ragdoll cat who was concentrating on watching the side heard Lin Yao's voice, turned around, and looked at the two sisters again.

Then, watching, the ragdoll cat may feel a little bored, it yawned lazily, and then lay directly on the coffee table, covering the two sisters lying on the sofa.

The picture gradually blurred.

The cat fell into a fluffy dream.

...

The next day.

Lin Yao returned to Linmu Studio. She

was in a better mood.

In fact, she was not the only one in a better

mood. The entire Linmu Studio, all the staff, were in a better mood.

This was not only because You Qi, who was hated by people in Linmu Studio and hated dogs, was fired, kicked out of the university, and his social media account was banned.

In fact, it was also related to the influence of "Detective Dee" and "Sherlock Holmes"...

"Detective Dee" is not to mention. It

has caused a lot of uproar in China.

And "Sherlock Holmes" is even more exaggerated. The exaggeration here refers to the influence of this game in the place where the background story is located.

Just this morning, a report came out.

It said that in reality, the owner of Room 221 Baker Street has been overwhelmed by the numerous players who visited him recently... and revealed that he was going to sell the property he owned for three times the market price.

Yes.

Three times.

This is exaggerated in itself.

But there are many people who are interested in buying it

...

Really many.

Many people even came to ask for cash transactions.

After all, the game obviously has a sequel. Now that it is like this, there is a great chance that the house will continue to appreciate in value in the future.

Of course, you can't say that the owner has no long-term vision. After all, the game is a game. No one can predict how long this influence will last. It is possible that no one will be interested in it after a while, so it seems to be a good choice to take advantage of such a high influence and leave with money.

Besides, although he said he wanted to sell it, the owner actually never reached a deal with anyone... Even in the face of countless people who paid cash, the owner did not give in.

In addition, the owner occasionally wears the same outfit as Sherlock Holmes when going out... The real purpose is really hard to say now.

However.

Regardless of the owner's purpose, from the perspective of the game.

For Linmu Studio, this is good news.

The impact of the release of "Sherlock Holmes" can be seen in this incident!

The staff of Linmu Studio are of course happy.

With double happiness.

The entire Linmu Studio became beaming with joy...

Of course.

Once the game is released.

It means that this has become a kind of past, so it is happy, but it is just happiness.

Next, work still needs to be done.

"Miss Mu, please prepare for the meeting. I want to talk to everyone about the "Carnival". "

Lin Yao sat down in her seat and finally met Mu Wanqing again on this day.

"Okay."

Mu Wanqing seemed to have forgotten what happened yesterday. When she heard Lin Yao's request, she just nodded calmly and competently.

"Miss Mu..."

Lin Yao looked at Mu Wanqing, who was standing straight in front of her, with her round and plump thighs tightly together. After thinking for a while, she suddenly spoke and called her in a long tone.

"I'll go call someone!"

But Mu Wanqing turned around immediately when she heard Lin Yao's long tone.

"Hey, don't be anxious, I'm not teasing you."

Lin Yao was a little amused, and quickly pulled her back, then restrained the smile on her face and whispered: "Miss Mu, it's settled."

"... Yeah."

After a moment of silence.

A voice that seemed to exist or not came.

Then, Mu Wanqing went to call people to the meeting.

...

half an hour later.

In the conference room.

Lin Yao successfully met Linmu Studio, including most of the core staff of the console department.

After everyone arrived.

Lin Yao sat on the chair, took a deep breath, and told the marketing department's suggestion.

"Linmu Studio will move to the new headquarters soon. The marketing department suggested that the new place will bring a new atmosphere... We can hold an event similar to the Fan Festival after the headquarters is moved.

I think this is very meaningful. Now Linmu Studio's IP and games are enough for us to hold such a large-scale event. What do you think?"

Lin Yao just asked.

Everyone present looked at each other and nodded.

"Well, since there are no objections, then we have to consider the content of the Fan Festival, or more accurately, the Carnival."

Lin Yao glanced at everyone's expressions, and then talked about what she was most concerned about: "Yes, the most important purpose of this carnival... is to maintain the player group for long-term operation of the game. At the same time, give surprises to players who like our studio's works.

Maintaining the player group for long-term operation of the game is relatively easy to do. I believe that the various project teams of related activities have experience, but there is an additional link with offline linkage.

However, giving surprises to players is a bit troublesome... I need several project teams that are currently developing games to confirm the development progress of the game, confirm the content that can be disclosed at the carnival, and then comprehensively see how many surprises can be brought to the players."

"This is also an important reference standard for whether we should hold the carnival or not. If there is not too good content, if it will have a relatively large impact on the project team, then we will not hold it! Especially... the "World of Warcraft" project, which is the finale in my heart."

There is no second chapter... I have been going to bed after 3 o'clock in the past few days, and I can't stand it anymore...

(End of this chapter)
