"Mmm," An Rou murmured.
But Lin Chen was not content with just tasting her, so he reached his hand inside An Rou's clothes.
Then, clothes were thrown out of the blankets one by one.
An hour later.
An Rou poked her head out from under the covers, her face glistening with sweat.
"Phew~ I'm exhausted. What just happened? I just came to hug you, why can't I go back?"
"You're like a lamb entering a tiger's den. Why don't you just sleep here?"
"No, I'm going to take a shower and go back to my room to sleep."
An Rou got up from the bed, picked up her clothes from the floor, went into the bathroom to wash herself quickly, and then went back to her room.
Seeing that Su Xiaowan hadn't woken up, An Rou breathed a sigh of relief and quietly went to bed.
The next morning, Lin Chen got up very early, full of energy.
Seeing that An Rou and Su Xiaowan were still sleeping, he went to make breakfast.
While frying eggs, Lin Chen took out his phone and browsed Weibo.
"Huh? Honor of Kings has been released?"
On Weibo's trending topics, Tencent announced the launch of its new mobile game "Honor of Kings," which officially went live on major mobile app stores at 8:00 AM this morning.
I glanced at the time; it was exactly 7:58.
I'll download it and play around with it in a bit, see if it feels familiar.
Lin Chen had just finished making breakfast and put it on the table when the doorbell rang.
Who could it be so early in the morning?
When I opened the door, it was Brother Dawei!
"Boss, how come you still have the appetite for breakfast? Have you seen the news? Tencent's new game has been released!"
"I've seen it, isn't it just a game similar to ours? What's the rush? Have you had breakfast? Do you want to sit down and eat something?"
At this moment, An Rou and Su Xiaowan heard the commotion outside and got up as well.
"Lin Chen, who is it, so early in the morning?"
An Rou walked out without even opening her eyes, still wearing her pajamas.
When Dawei saw that his goddess was wearing pajamas and living with the boss, he was heartbroken and couldn't breathe.
At this moment, Su Xiaowan also came out.
When Dawei saw that there were still two of them, he gave Lin Chen a complicated look.
That look contained a whole host of emotions: jealousy, envy, a desire to strangle him, and a plea for guidance from the boss.
Finally, at Lin Chen's strong invitation, the four of them sat down to have breakfast together.
While eating heartily, Dawei continued, "Boss, why does the world-building of this Tencent game look so similar to the version you just told me about?"
Lin Chen was taken aback, almost forgetting about this, but fortunately he reacted quickly.
He sighed and said, "Alas, it's all my fault for being too young back then. When I sold Fruit Ninja to Tencent, I had a meal with Pony Ma. At that time, I thought I would never get involved in the mobile game industry again, so I casually shared some of my views, opinions, and design concepts about mobile games with Pony Ma."
Dawei suddenly realized.
"No wonder! No wonder! This is really TX! Hey boss, you've really lost out."
Lin Chen smiled to himself. "I have a system, what do I lose? Actually, if you really want to calculate it, I'm the one who copied Tencent."
Suddenly, the long-absent system emitted two beeps, like a low battery warning, before falling silent again.
When Dawei saw that Lin Chen suddenly stopped talking, he assumed that Lin Chen was regretting it, so he patted Lin Chen on the shoulder.
"Hey, it's okay, boss, we still have Genshin Impact."
Lin Chen smiled and spoke.
"It's eight o'clock, why don't we download it and play a game?"
"Okay, let's treat it as studying the enemy's situation."
Anyway, today is New Year's Day, the company is closed and we don't have to work.
So the two of them started downloading "Honor of Kings" while eating breakfast.
"It's ready, come on."
The two entered the interface of "Honor of Kings".
"Ugh..." Dawei frowned as he looked at the retro game graphics and the appallingly poor character models. "Did Tencent draw this with their feet? How could it be so rough?"
"There's no other way. All in all, Tencent only spent a month making this game. Although the features can amaze us, the art design definitely felt rushed."
However, Lin Chen remembered that in his previous life, "Honor of Kings" was also gradually getting better and better.
Actually, Tencent's internal operations are a bit like a breeding ground for venomous insects. They release several versions of the same game and launch them on the market together. Whichever one survives, they start to invest more resources in it.
For example, in the previous life, besides "Honor of Kings", there was also a game called "King of Glory", but in the end, "Honor of Kings" won.
Unexpectedly, this time, he didn't even need to use Little Ma's "breeding poison" tactic, just to make money as soon as possible.
After completing the beginner quests, Lin Chen looked around and, sure enough, it was the same familiar heroes.
After playing two games with Dawei, Lin Chen achieved godlike status in every match. While others were still getting used to the game skills, Lin Chen had already started to dominate.
"Wow, Mr. Lin, this game is truly your creation! You're so skilled at it!"
"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile."
After playing a few rounds, Lin Chen put down his phone, went to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of cola, and handed it to Brother Dawei.
"So, how did it go? What are your thoughts after playing a few rounds?"
"The core gameplay is similar to ours, but the graphics and character models are too rough; you can even see the jagged edges. I still think Genshin Impact: Prequel - Demon Wars is more competitive, but..."
"But what?"
"But Tencent's games have never been about competitiveness, but about their user base. One-click login on QQ gives them a huge advantage."
"That's right, but our Mixin account is not bad either. Although the number of users is not as high as QQ, it is still the second largest social software in China. So, we are not those small companies, and Tencent's move will not have much impact on us."
Dawei took a sip of his cola: "Then I'm relieved."
"Don't worry, I'm just saying it won't have a big impact. But we're the number one MOBA mobile game, why should we not dare to utter a word when others try to take our territory?"
"So, Mr. Lin, how do you suggest we take care of that bastard?"
"Just confront him head-on and fight him head-on, and that's it."
"Okay, I'll go and gather the manpower right away."
"Hey, why are you gathering people?"
"Mr. Lin, didn't you say you wanted to fight head-on?"
"...Brother Dawei, it's everyone's responsibility to abide by the law. I'm talking about a business contest, not a hand-to-hand fight."
"Oh, I see. So what should we do?"
"Since the game's graphics are so bad, let's use graphics comparison screenshots to criticize it."
"Oh...is it really that direct?"
"Otherwise, why would you call it 'fighting it head-on'?"
