Chapter 25 Benefits In fact, their original intention has not changed
Wuya Games naturally failed to accumulate any "loyal players" with such an approach, and was also exposed for malicious competition by Youmeng. They were immediately pushed to the forefront of public opinion, and few people would speak up for them.
But they are actually happy to see this situation. They never focus on making good games, and overwhelming advertising has always been the promotional method that Wuya has chosen.
They want to get more exposure to attract people's attention, even if the information is bad and negative, they don't care.
Ye Xuan looks down on this approach. He believes that a good game should be one that players can sincerely recommend to others, rather than attracting users through mindless advertisements.
He could not forget the light in the interviewer's eyes when he recommended the game to him. It was a genuine love, not a casual attitude.
A good game should not just be a leisure toy to kill time, but a miracle that can give people a sense of faith!
Ye Xuan looked at the comments scrolling across the screen. He no longer tried to read the words clearly. He just stared at the colors floating by, thinking about Wu Ya.
Sister Lin didn't send him any message, so he didn't dare to act rashly. He didn't know what to do, so he started to have wild thoughts.
Viewers in the live broadcast room left and came again, but overall the popularity was still steadily increasing.
Some people got tired of cursing and venting, so they left. What the forum of "Youmeng" was like and what Wuya did were all irrelevant to them.
Some people rushed over after hearing the news, and made a big fuss while the farce was still going on. Most of them used this forum incident as an excuse to vent their negative emotions. Once the live broadcast was over, the impact was all on Youmeng himself, and had nothing to do with them.
Ye Xuan had no intention of paying attention to the fluctuating numbers. He recalled the experience of watching his classmates play games when he was in school.
That was a very common part of his daily campus life. After studying, he would also watch variety shows and TV series with his classmates. Although most of them were just short-lived interests, they also left him with many good memories.
When I was in high school, a brave classmate secretly brought a game console. At that time, handheld game consoles were still very popular. Even though the development of holographic games had made great breakthroughs and were only a few years away from being released, game consoles were still a rare "treasure" in the eyes of students.
As soon as lunch break came, almost half of the class gathered together, crowded in layer upon layer, and everyone stretched their necks to look at the small screen - today's holographic games are enough to make people "immersive", but it is difficult to experience the fun of a group of people gathering together to watch one person play games.
Ye Xuan was a person who loved to join in the fun. Although he had no hobbies of his own, he was very interested in the things that others liked. He would just dive into the crowd and start watching.
He didn't know much about the game and only understood some simple operations. He felt dazzled and confused when it came to more complicated operations.
He doesn't like first-person perspective games, especially 3D ones, because they make him dizzy.
In a daze, the classmate successfully passed the test, and everyone started cheering, as if their class had won the championship in the sports meet.
The cheers that erupted from the crowd actually "woken" Ye Xuan up. He glanced at the word "victory" that appeared on the screen and started shouting as well.
This is not blind obedience, but a reaction after being infected by the people around him, and he likes this feeling.
He feels a sense of belonging in this class.
So he also has many fond memories of the game.
…
When Ye Xuan came to his senses, he was no longer the host in the live broadcast room. He thought he might have fallen asleep, otherwise he would not have been pushed into the corner of the room without any consciousness.
"You're awake." The interviewer sat on a chair that was brought from nowhere. "When Xiaolin and I came here, we saw you sitting in front of the computer in a daze. You scared her."
Ye Xuan turned his head and looked over there. Sister Lin had taken over his place in the live broadcast. There seemed to be a thick stack of manuscripts on the table. She looked much more prepared than him.
He knew that it was his job to show up in front of people, not the other party's. Although he didn't know what exactly was decided, it seemed to be the consensus reached in the company.
He is a real NPC, and guiding the players is his job goal.
Ye Xuan opened his mouth, but for a moment no sound came out.
"Have some water." The interviewer poured him a cup of warm water from a water dispenser.
Ye Xing obediently took it and drank half of the cup in one breath. After moistening his throat, he said, "Thank you. But I should do my part well. I am sorry for causing trouble to the two seniors."
"Didn't you blame us before for not giving you pre-job training and not taking care of new employees?" the other party teased him.
Although Ye Xuan felt that this person was not doing anything serious all day long, seeing that he looked much more relaxed, the situation probably did not continue to deteriorate.
"Wuya has publicly apologized," the interviewer smiled in an ambiguous tone, "Yes, I thought of that a long time ago. They will not deny it. They will just refuse to repent even after they have readily and frankly admitted their mistakes."
"What they want is popularity," Ye Xuan also figured it out. "They try every possible way to attract the attention of potential users, even at the cost of 'reputation'."
After hearing Ye Xuan's thorough analysis, the other party raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Alright, that's a big improvement."
The young man who was praised smiled shyly, and tapped the mug in his hand unconsciously, causing ripples of water in the cup.
The purpose of the Wuya game is actually very easy to understand, and even a layman can easily deduce it.
This is their usual style. They are extremely utilitarian in making games and pay very little attention to polishing their works - the games they produce cannot even be called works. They almost rely on a slightly innovative framework to launch them on the market and take advantage of the current good momentum of holographic games to get a share of the pie in the industry.
Youmeng was very disgusted with such behavior. Most of the employees in the company entered this industry with their love and longing for games. Although the company had just started, they had a long-term vision and were not eager for immediate benefits.
Ye Xuan has never worked in other game companies, but he thinks the atmosphere at Youmeng is very good, an atmosphere that can produce good works.
Therefore, even if Wu Ya offered him favorable conditions to recruit him, he would not go there!
After a while, the live broadcast ended. Sister Lin rubbed her shoulders and walked towards them: "Xiao Xuan, how are you going to repay me?"
"Thank you, Sister Lin, for saving us," he responded, "I'll treat you to a meal!"
She rolled up her speech into a paper tube and tapped the other person on the head. "With your salary, you should be able to afford good food. Why eat in the cafeteria three times a day? You can just help me organize the documents or something."
Ye Xuan knew that she was helping him save money. His salary was not much, but it was not low among fresh graduates. Treating her to a meal would indeed make his life more difficult, so he agreed immediately: "Okay, I promise to clean up your office!"
Sister Lin let go of the paper tube and patted his shoulder: "It's getting late. You haven't eaten yet, have you? Go to the cafeteria. I asked the chef to cook two dishes for you."
"This is so embarrassing..." He began to politely decline, but in fact he was already drooling with greed.
"You are now the company's key protected person, a cash cow and a pillar." Sister Lin half-jokingly praised him, "If we don't give you any extra benefits, where can we go to cry if you change jobs?"
Ye Xuan's face turned red with laughter, but he didn't try to explain. He followed Sister Lin to the cafeteria.
…
When he returned to the laboratory in the game, he didn't see Assistant Fang, who usually sat by the side to "supervise" the researchers even when he was not working, and the atmosphere became increasingly strange.
What happened? Ye Xing saw that the progress bar had moved a lot while he was away, so he wanted to get some information.
But he was in no condition to ask anyone else, so he had to stand next to a few researchers who were gossiping and "eavesdrop".
"I told you that Assistant Fang is no good!" A researcher who looked older was quite emotional, his disgust and resentment were obvious.
"Alas," another person sighed, "I didn't expect that she would take all the credit in the end..."
What's going on?
Ye Xuan had a look of curiosity on his face, as if he had eaten a melon but hadn't fully understood it.
"What an ungrateful person she is! Director Qin was planning to train her, but in the face of interests..." Xing didn't hear the following lines either. It was probably blocked during the review.
After listening to these people's discussion, I also sorted out the general plot of the story.
The efficacy of the drug was far better than expected. In order to take credit, the assistant said that he had specially researched this point and became very famous for a while.
Director Qin had no intention of competing for fame and fortune, but the award mentioned earlier was very important to him. If something went wrong here, he would almost certainly miss out on this year's award.
Qin usually devotes himself to academic research and tries to avoid media interviews as much as possible. But when the time comes, Fang takes the initiative to volunteer and completes interviews again and again.
But after the report came out, the researchers discovered that Fang Zhu described this "accident" as intentional, and established a personality for himself as a person who is brave enough to seek new ideas and explore, and was highly sought after by young people.
Ye Xuan also shook his head after hearing this. He did not approve of this approach and always felt that something bad would happen one day.
Maybe his premonition was right, or maybe he had figured out the rules of the game, because sure enough, within two days a big mess occurred.
"Director Qin, something is not right with the volunteer. Please go and take a look yourself." Assistant Fang hadn't come to work for a while, and the former intern had temporarily taken over her job.
"What?" Director Qin cursed in his heart and turned around, "Take me there quickly!"
Along the way, she reported on her work, her voice trembling due to nervousness and anxiety: "Director Qin, some volunteers are gradually becoming unconscious, and occasionally they make strange and meaningless shouts. We initially suspect that it is nerve damage caused by drugs..."
"I understand." The boy walked so fast that the girl who was "leading the way" beside him could not keep up and could only jog.
Ye Xuan heard the entire conversation clearly behind them - the plot has developed so much, why hasn't his part come yet?
