Zhi Xing Games definitely misunderstands Easter eggs.
Song Zhiming's work schedule was packed with recruitment and interviews. As her special assistant, she was probably the person in the entire Zhixing Games organization who knew the company best, which is why she knew about the company's hidden recruitment needs.
But other employees in the company see it differently.
In their eyes, this is how it is:
In fact, when Zhixing Games was being hotly discussed online, its own recruitment email inbox was already overflowing several times, which was quite a sight.
Unfortunately, Zhixing Games currently has no plans to expand its scale.
These talented individuals could only miss out on putting knowledge into practice.
Whenever they think about this, the long-time employees of Zhixing Games can't help but feel grateful for their foresight in choosing to join the then-startup company, Zhixing Games, and for finally achieving their goal.
Pigeon was unaware that his beloved domestic game company had finally won over its peers.
Although she is a blogger in the gaming section, she is still an outsider to real game industry professionals.
Today, she had been absent for a while again, and was finally forced by her fans to "unfollow" her to explore the offline experience store of Zhixing Games.
This experience store has been quite popular ever since the "Enlightenment" meme came out. However, due to its distance, most of the customers are local players.
Those who live far away can only look on with envy.
"It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that I can't get an appointment right now. If I go, I can only look around here and there." Pigeon shrugged helplessly.
The viewers in the live chat weren't buying it.
"If you don't want to update, you can at least stream, right? Pigeon, don't forget who you are."
"Big-name bloggers like us will definitely be warmly received as soon as we enter the experience store. What are you afraid of? Isn't it comfortable to enjoy this privilege?"
The pigeons had no choice but to obey the will of the gods.
Having traveled a long way to the experience store, she found it wasn't as crowded as she had imagined. This was likely due to the reservation mini-program the store had recently developed to handle the surge in customers.
As soon as the pigeon entered, the people in the computer area on the left went wild.
"Pigeon! Pigeon, over here!"
The fans greeted her very warmly, and for a moment, Pigeon really felt like an idol on a secret visit.
She was ushered to a gap in the computer area and glanced at the VR area, where everyone was completely silent and no one paid any attention to her.
It's not that I feel a sense of disappointment.
There's a strange sense of déjà vu, like the devices have separated the i-person and e-person users, which is quite...humane.
The E section is full of fans. Pigeon has been a game blogger for so long, so he definitely has a fan base there.
"I'm so envious. If I had known that Pigeon was going to do a live stream today, I would have gone to the experience store to play too."
"When will Zhixing Games open a chain store in Northeast China? I'd love to try it out too!"
The comments section was deserted, while fellow enthusiasts enthusiastically closed their own game interfaces... If I'm not mistaken, this game seems to be from another game company.
At Zhixing Games' offline experience stores, you play games from other game companies...
Is this something I can say?
Then, when the enthusiast returned to the computer desktop, well, something even more outrageous happened: of all the game icons on the wall, only a handful... two were from Zhixing's own company.
There are only two, right? How long has Zhixing Games been established?
It's supposed to be a privately owned gaming experience store, but it's been set up like a small internet cafe. No, wait, a typical small internet cafe wouldn't have this kind of high-end equipment.
"Can you play other games here?"
“Yeah, right.” Someone answered confidently, “Zhixing Games still doesn’t have enough games. We’re doing this by attacking them head-on to spur them to release new games soon.”
That's reasonable and perfectly logical.
"Hey Pigeon, it's a rare treat to run into you. Why don't you show us how to play the online version of 'The Way of the Corporate Slave'?"
These words were immediately echoed by those around him.
"I usually watch you play on live stream, and I also want to observe your skills up close."
The pigeon was flattered and then forced to sit down. As soon as the game started, the mouse was shoved into her hand.
Ah, it's lonely at the top.
Who knows if these fans are... fake fans!
They randomly selected the simplest and most evil faction for her right away. Members of this faction need to be wiped out in order to achieve final victory.
Just as the pigeon was about to show off its skills, someone next to it said quietly, "This is too easy for the pigeon. Why doesn't the pigeon try letting other players win and sacrificing itself?"
Before the pigeon could refuse, the others started making their own judgments.
Pigeon: ? ? ? Wait, do you really not consider me human?
He calls himself a hardcore gamer, but no matter how skilled a player is, who can completely ignore the rules of the game? That's absurd.
What was supposed to be a high-level game where Pigeon wanted to showcase her skills turned into an entertaining game where others were just harassing her.
In the end, he was even dissed by a fellow player: "Do you even know how to play?"
I've never fought such a tough battle against adversity in my life.
The fans on the side were laughing happily, saying that the main character was being sacrificed to the heavens, and that the power was boundless!
"I'm not playing anymore! How can you treat people like this?" Pigeon waved her hand, frantically changing the subject: "Isn't there a waiter here? I want some water."
"Just press this button," a fan enthusiastically instructed.
Only then did Pigeon notice the small button next to the computer monitor. Suspecting these ill-intentioned netizens were lying to her, she tentatively pressed it.
It's unlikely that the main unit exploded.
The button didn't make a sound, it just lit up slightly.
Then someone at the opposite table who was playing a game stood up and asked Pigeon what it needed with a very friendly smile.
No, if I remember correctly, sir, were you playing a single-player game when I walked in?
Because only one person in the group played AAA games, Pigeon was quite impressed... and then look at the Zhixing Games logo hanging on the wall next to him.
Well, that seems to fit the company's style perfectly.
Do you all remember what the employees of Zhixing Games were doing in "The Survival Diary of Contemporary Working People"?
When will she be able to play games on payday without getting criticized by her viewers?
Pigeon asked for a glass of water and quickly made an excuse to leave area E. Her excessive enthusiasm was unbearable; she was practically burning it.
It would be better to go to jail and calm down.
It just so happened that it was Pigeon's turn to get a number; she had originally reserved the VR equipment. She was just pulled to the PC area to have a computer to play on, which a fan had lent her.
The pigeon skillfully put on the equipment and sat down.
It was still the same little dark room, with the same setup. Before entering meditation, Pigeon was still wondering what kind of view he would see through the window today.
It's worth noting that the largest portion of the budget for Out-of-Body Simulator is for art, and the game content is still being expanded.
Different scenery, combined with different times of day, different lighting, and different weather conditions, can present all sorts of different views.
So far, the pigeons have been played more than 90 times, and there has never been a time when the scene was completely repeated. As for the music... although the music is often repeated, the different moods of the listeners make for completely different feelings.
After a few minutes of focused concentration, the pigeon opened its eyes expectantly, only to discover to its surprise that this time the view wasn't from the window anymore!
Instead, the entire dark room that had trapped the players shattered, like a stroke of ink spreading out in a traditional Chinese painting, gradually revealing its true form.
This was the first time the pigeon had stepped out of the small dark room, completely immersed in the scene.
The first sensation was an incredibly subtle auditory experience: the faint sound of evening bells fading into the distance. Because the equipment was so powerful, the sounds from the game disappeared, but the echoes of my own intense inner turmoil still resonated within me.
The wind rustles through the bamboo grove, a vast expanse of new shoots mixed with old branches, and a thin mist floats on the air, ethereal as if about to take flight.
There were no other obstructions in sight.
The pigeon couldn't help but want to stand up, but the interaction method didn't change at all. It was still the same as in the dark room, where it could only walk around.
At most, it just adds a 365° panoramic view.
Having spent a long period of quiet solitude, the sudden transition to nature did not stir any ripples in one's heart.
He attained enlightenment in Longchang... Did he achieve enlightenment?
For pigeons, or rather for every homebody, beautiful scenery is certainly captivating, but they would much rather stay home and play games than travel long distances to see it.
Now, you can enjoy the view without leaving home.
Isn't that wonderful?
She was completely bewildered. Had she triggered another Easter egg or completed the main storyline?
After enjoying the moment to himself, Pigeon suddenly took off his VR glasses and began passionately commentating on the live stream: "Everyone saw it just now, right? I think I accidentally triggered something."
"I reckon I'm probably the first one on the entire internet, how exciting! I'll figure out how to trigger this Easter egg and then make a video."
"I have to recommend VR again for its completely immersive experience. It's amazing! Combined with the high-end equipment in the experience store, the gaming experience is so much more comfortable than playing at home!"
"I'd be heartbroken if anyone didn't come to our physical store even once!"
Those who live nearby naturally have the advantage of being in a good position.
They came straight to the VR device, staring longingly at the pigeons, hoping to get a bite.
The pigeon didn't hold a grudge; after all, the audience was her benefactor, so she gave up her glasses so everyone could see.
Unfortunately, the beautiful scenery was fleeting, and it automatically turned off after 5 minutes.
"I've discovered that Zhixing Games is completely unwilling to let us find the Easter eggs. The Easter eggs in 'The Way of the Corporate Slave' were very well hidden, and now they're being hidden in 'Soul Out of Body Simulator' as well. I seriously suspect that they misunderstand what an Easter egg is."
"This game has been out for so long, and it's only now that someone has triggered it. If such great graphics had been released at launch, it would have been even more popular."
"You know what, I've always suspected that they don't even have a marketing department."
The news of accidentally triggering the Easter egg in "Out-of-Body Simulator" quickly spread among fans, and the visuals and music quickly went viral on video platforms.
It attracted many passersby who hadn't initially noticed the existence of such a game.
"What game is this? The graphics are so beautiful. Have VR games evolved to this level yet?"
"Upstairs, since you've asked so sincerely, I'll mercifully tell you: you can search for 'Out-of-Body Simulator.' Of course, you can also find it by searching for 'Longchang Enlightenment Simulator' or 'Accounting Career Simulator'..."
As for why they were able to find it, it's simply because the players were too scattered in their search.
This move completely stunned the game developers; how could such a thing even exist?
Is there another way to turn red?
Those colleagues who were already somewhat interested in Zhixing Games after hearing about the huge success of "Out-of-Body Simulator" yesterday are now even more excited.
As the saying goes, action speaks louder than words. Whether or not this God of Wealth is real or not, we should at least try to catch him, right?
As a result, the email inboxes of Zhixing Games' partners were also flooded with messages, just like the recruitment email inboxes...
Zhixing Games itself hadn't even figured out what had happened yet, and Song Zhiming thought that President Jiang had done something again, secretly impressing his peers.
