Little Ma glanced around at everyone present.
At this moment, he really wanted to say a classic line.
"Everyone here is trash!"
Otherwise, why would so many seasoned veterans of the internet industry be unable to defeat a mere college sophomore?
However, he managed to keep his composure and refrained from making sweeping generalizations.
He slowly began to speak: "I have high hopes for our new game, 'Honor of Kings,' but this game has been heavily criticized since its launch. I believe everyone knows this, right? If you don't, then you don't need to be sitting in this conference room."
"I know, I know..."
Everyone nodded quickly. At this point, whether they knew or not, they had to say they knew.
Little Ma continued.
"Alright, Chen Qi, the deputy director in charge of art design for the 'Honor of Kings' project, please answer why this problem occurred and how you handled it afterward?"
The middle-aged man named Chen Qi stood up, and even in the dead of winter, beads of sweat were clearly visible on his forehead.
"Mr. Ma, the development cycle of 'Honor of Kings' is very tight. We don't have time to redesign the map. So, I thought of a MOBA game called 'League of Legends' that our company had previously invested in. I contacted them, asked them for the original artwork of the map, modified it, and used it."
"Huh? So, you're fucking a genius?"
"Um, Mr. Ma, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that the original artwork for this map is in the style of the US. It's just that players haven't gotten used to this style yet. As far as I know, League of Legends is very popular in the US. Maybe after League of Legends spreads to China, the style of our Honor of Kings will also be accepted and liked by everyone."
Little Ma slammed his hand on the table.
"You mean I should leave 'Honor of Kings' here and wait? Wait for 'League of Legends' to be released in China? Wait for 'League of Legends' to become a hit in China? Or do I have to wait for Tencent to go bankrupt?"
The last sentence was practically shouted out by Little Ma.
Chen Qi almost lost her footing, but luckily she managed to brace herself against the table with her hands.
Little Ma took a deep breath and pronounced the verdict.
"Alright, go to HR to complete your resignation procedures. You don't need to attend the following meetings."
Chen Qi sighed and walked outside.
Little Ma picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and continued the meeting.
"We have two key tasks ahead of us."
The first is to comprehensively optimize the graphics of "Honor of Kings". All of the company's resources can be used by the "Honor of Kings" project team. They can provide money and manpower as needed.
I have only one request: after the next update, I want to see positive reviews from netizens online. If I can't do that, the project manager should just leave.
Secondly, transfer some money to Lashou.com. Lashou.com has indeed gone through a tough time for "Honor of Kings" recently, but now it's time for them to reap the rewards. Take the money and go and give Lin Chen a good beating.
Meeting adjourned!
After saying that, Brother Ma left.
People from Tencent are quite efficient at work, especially since Pony Ma's words are like a sharp blade hanging over their heads.
If you can't do it, then leave! Who can stand that?
The Honor of Kings project team immediately began searching for the company's most skilled art designer...
...Let's recreate it one-to-one based on the map of "Genshin Impact: Prequel - Demon Wars".
To this end, this top-notch artist played Genshin Impact: Prequel - Demon Wars for four whole days, spending at least eight hours a day in the Rift.
In the past four days, a player with the ID "The Despicable Painter" has appeared in the canyon of "Genshin Impact: The Prequel - Demon War".
This player is particularly amazing; their gameplay is unique.
Normally, after entering the game, players will directly buy equipment and go online.
This player, however, was standing in the fountain, AFK (away from keyboard). But "AFK" isn't quite right, because he was constantly moving. How to describe it? It was as if he was carefully observing every single tile in the fountain.
Then, he began to study the past inch by inch. So, at first, this player was reported like crazy. But if you reported him for AFK, he was moving the whole time.
Report him for playing passively; he's really serious about researching in the Rift.
Therefore, despite the numerous reports, the despicable nature of painting remained unaffected.
Moreover, the artist "The Despicable One" is quite skilled. When he's exploring his own jungle, if an enemy hero comes to bother him, he'll mercilessly send them back to their fountain.
The next day, the despicable painter, who had already studied half of his own map, began to study the river.
In the river, you'll encounter opponents even more often, and if you're lucky, you might even run into a team fight.
However, this "despicable drawing" player will not use a single skill unless someone interferes with his research, even if all his teammates die in front of him.
This leads to a situation where if "The Despicable Painter" is on their own team, their teammates will try every means to lure the enemies over to attack him, while if he is on the opposing team, they will try every means to bypass him and engage in team fights.
After studying the river on the second day, on the third day, "The Despicable Painter" crossed the river and entered the enemy's jungle.
At first, everyone would try to kill him. Little brat, so arrogant, heading straight for our jungle right at the start of the game. Come on, come on so openly.
If one person comes, they can't beat this "despicable painter." If two people come, they can kill him, but they'll only get four hundred yuan at most, and he'll keep coming back after they're killed.
He'll die again, then come back again, until he's so worthless that he's worth less than a lowly soldier, at which point the enemy won't care about him anymore.
But "The Despicable One Who Draws" seemed to realize that playing like this was affecting his research, because he died too many times and his screen was always black.
So he came up with a plan: since they were bothering him, he might as well kill them all.
Then he started playing the game seriously, not only taking jungle resources but also stealing resources from the enemy jungle and even taking his own minion waves.
Then, in every game after that, he became the undisputed overlord, killing anyone he saw in the jungle. He would kill one person if they came, two if they came, and even three if they came, and he could escape unscathed.
It's exactly like, "The enemy's jungle is my home," and I can go in and out seven times with such style.
Later, the enemy team stopped caring about him and just let him do whatever he wanted, saying, "Good luck to the jungler."
However, the enemy jungler discovered that as long as he avoided "the despicable painter," the painter would ignore him, and the game experience returned.
"The despicable thing about painting" thought to himself, "Why didn't you think that way earlier? You're acting like nobody cares about you."
