"If you put your heart into it, even if you're clumsy, you should be able to finish it in a week. If you can't finish it, you can work overtime." Chen Ya said, "The overtime standard is what I just said, three times the salary."
There was another flurry of discussion below, and the girl, with a visibly agitated expression, asked, "Do I understand you mean to let us play games at work?"
"I told you, you have no other work this week except to complete Wild Legends," Chen Ya said. "So, of course, you have to use your working hours to complete it, otherwise you won't be able to get Platinum."
The girl sat down with a satisfied expression, and someone else raised their hand.
"Zelda: Legend of the Wild is a console game, right? If we don't have a game console..."
Chen Ya immediately replied: "The company has more than 20 public NS hosts, more than enough for you."
Someone else stood up and asked loudly, "Can we keep the save files that were downloaded from the public server?"
This question was relatively light-hearted, and everyone laughed briefly.
"Yes, but you need to import it to your own NS console. You can't take the public console away. You will have to pay for any damages."
At this moment, next to Zhao Yuanhai, a girl who was sitting upright with a stern expression raised her hand.
Chen Ya gestured for her to speak.
"Excuse me, what's the point of playing Zelda: Legend of the Wild?"
Chen Ya glanced at the girl and asked without answering, "Which group are you from?"
"I'm in the character design team, responsible for character background settings and some action design." The girl said, "I know I don't need to play this game, but I'm just curious."
Zhao Yuanhai looked at the girl with a complicated expression. He felt that the girl had a rather stubborn personality.
Chen Ya was calm and said:
"When making any game, or any cultural, creative, or entertainment work, learning from advanced works is the first priority. Playing Zelda: Legend of the Wild is the first step in learning."
Under the others' surprised gazes, the girl continued to ask, "But, creation requires innovation. If we use other people's works as teaching materials, won't our thinking be constrained?"
Chen Ya's expression remained unchanged, and he continued patiently:
"Innovation is important, but so is inheritance. Innovation must be based on a thorough study of existing achievements. Without the former, it is more likely not to be innovation, but to be reinventing the wheel."
Seeing that the girl's expression was still confused, Chen Ya continued:
"We've been preparing for Project Genmo for a long time. The veterans' understanding of open worlds far surpasses yours. If you haven't played Breath of the Wild, you won't understand any of the concepts they're talking about, and you won't even be able to establish an effective conversation. That's why I've stipulated that you must complete the game with Platinum.
"You have all written papers before, and you should know that a paper with a high plagiarism rate is not good; but a paper with a low plagiarism rate is also not good. A low plagiarism rate indicates that the paper lacked learning and citation from previous papers in the same field during the writing process, and such a paper has no reference value.
"The same goes for games. Completely copying other games is plagiarism, while completely lacking any reference or learning is doomed to failure. Successful works by predecessors offer the optimal, or even the only, solutions to certain problems. Without a deep understanding of this, you can't create a good game."
After that, he glanced at the audience and asked, "Any questions?"
No one spoke, but Zhao Yuanhai secretly looked at the girl and found that her expression was still defiant.
Zhao Yuanhai thought to himself that only a fresh graduate who had just left school would dare to face the big boss with such an attitude.
No one raised their hands to ask questions, so Chen Ya said, "Okay, since there are no more questions, let me talk about the probation period."
Hearing this, everyone involuntarily sat up a little straighter.
"We don't have the three-month probation period that's customary in the industry. We have only one criterion for passing the probation period: as long as you pass the exam, you can end the probation period at any time."
After hearing this, everyone's face showed confusion, and some people even looked a little worried.
The logic is the same as what the big boss just said. The reason why the three-month trial period that is commonly used by major companies has become so popular is because it is reasonable and easy to use.
Not following the rules and sticking to the three-month probation period, although it sounds like the probation period has been shortened, there may be some hidden tricks behind it.
Chen Ya continued, "Different groups have different probationary exams, so we'll discuss them separately. As I mentioned earlier, for those who need to complete 'Wild Legend' with Platinum, the exam content is also related to 'Wild Legend'. We're handing out the exams now, and you can submit them anytime. As long as you score 70 points or above, you'll pass the probation."
While he was speaking, Luan Qingying stood up and distributed a stack of test papers.
The boy who had already completed the platinum version of Zelda: Legend of the Wild looked particularly excited. He seemed to be eager to pass the trial period on the spot.
It wasn't long since he had completed the game as a platinum player. He knew all 900 Yahaha locations by heart and knew at least one way to clear each temple. He was confident he could get full marks on any test related to the game.
But after receiving the test paper and seeing the questions, his expression froze.
Zhao Yuanhai was hired as a worker in the human resources department and did not receive the test paper, but his buddy next to him did. He curiously leaned over to take a look at the test paper.
The first thing that caught my eye was this question:
