Chapter 259: Undercover Becomes Stronger
Lu Ming's eyes lit up little by little.
"Right? That's absolutely right?"
"All of them are villains, scumbags, smiling but hiding daggers?"
"This is what a serious game should look like."
"Forget about the fairy tales, justice, and passion. Players are already tired of those games now."
"Your entire demon sect is full of people who are all scumbags and scheming saints. You call me a fellow Taoist while putting me in a sack."
"He looks righteous, but he's full of evil."
"Just hearing the setting gives me chills."
"Your idea is very good!"
You absolutely deserve to be first!
At this point, Lu Ming grinned, his eyes burning, and his tone was filled with a hint of almost instinctive joy:
"Your approach is right."
"but……"
"The term 'demon cult' is so rotten now. Everyone knows the villain when they hear it."
"We can't say that so openly."
He thought for two seconds and waved his hand:
"Stop calling it the Demonic Cult! Change it!"
"Including the art style of your future games!"
"Who stipulated that the Demon Cult must wear black robes and have a face full of flesh?"
"Does the Demon Cult have to write on my face that I'm a bad person?"
"We will become a cultural demon sect, with a bookish demon leader."
Tang Ce was stunned when he heard this, and nodded his head:
"Yes, yes, yes! Mr. Lu, that's exactly what I mean."
"Mr. Lu, in my opinion, why not call it Mingdemen?"
"The rules of the sect are written in a series of words, advocating 'respecting virtue and cultivating oneself, and being tolerant and kind to others.' There's also a plaque hanging at the door that reads 'The highest virtue is like water, with utmost sincerity and without falsehood.'"
"Everyone here is a talent!"
"Also, there are all kinds of sect rules!"
"For example, according to the sect's rules, you are not allowed to harm your fellow disciples!"
"But actually, turning people into puppets should be considered a kind of rebirth, right?"
As Lu Ming listened, the smile on his face never faded, and his eyes were full of "This kid is doomed."
This kid is so talented!
You know my taste very well!
He didn't give any instructions on the content of today's games.
It's all people's own opinions.
However, the content is indeed very appetizing.
Not only has an undercover identity,
There are also the tricks used by the demon cult members.
Isn't this what he wants?
Feeling of torture!
That kind of psychological oppression that is subtle and silent.
That familiar feeling of anticipation finally came again.
He could imagine,
When the game goes online, players begin to experience it.
At first, I felt that the painting style was elegant, the characters were polite, and it even had a bit of the flavor of "Xianxia cultured sect management simulation".
Then,
Within five minutes, players will realize they have been scammed!
"How come my senior brother gave me a pill to try after I just started practicing?"
"I said I didn't want to eat, and he said it was disrespectful not to eat. Is he trying to scare me with the sect rules?"
"I tried it and fell into a coma for three hours. Then when I woke up, I found out... I was selected as a substitute for the medicine boy?"
If this isn’t a cult, what is it?
Then continue.
What
"The relationship between colleagues within Mingdemen is harmonious."
"The superiors care about the growth of their disciples,"
"The sect is busy with internal and external affairs, and we urgently need a trusted disciple to go to the neighboring sect to transport spiritual materials?"
and.
The protagonist is also an undercover agent.
Every decision will affect the favorability of both sides, the direction of the plot and the ending.
What should I do if there is a mission on the right side?
What if I asked you to steal the cultivation records of a certain elder?
You originally just wanted to survive, but gradually became the spokesperson for the devil?
Or, is it to climb to the top of the demon cult and become the master?
Or, detonate the demonic cult and disintegrate the hostile organization from within.
Or, he could establish his own sect, defy fate and fight against two sects alone...
Multiple endings + non-linear plot + culturally-driven dark cultivation...
Lu Ming simply doesn't want to change any of the content!
All the settings are outrageous, but logically self-consistent, which is terrifying when you think about it carefully.
On the opposite side, Tang Ce's face turned red with excitement.
He knew that this time, he had made the right bet.
But to be honest, he was a little nervous.
After all, this setting is too unconventional, and he is afraid of being accused of "attention-seeking", "acting crazy", and "improper".
But Mr. Lu is different!
Not only did Mr. Lu not despise her, he even praised her to the sky!
This is not appreciation, this is understanding!
"Mr. Lu, what do you think of the name?"
"If you think it still needs some literary flavor, I can also call it "Mingde Qianyinglu" or "Hidden Blade and Lying Heart"..."
"Stop."
Lu Ming raised his hand.
"You are in charge, you have the final say!"
"What do you want to be called?"
Tang Ce paused, took a deep breath, and said seriously:
"How about calling it—"Undercover Makes You Stronger"?"
“Simple and direct.”
"It locks up the essence of the entire game."
"Everyone understood immediately. Oh, so this game relies on undercover agents to upgrade!"
“But there’s a strange appeal to it.”
After saying this, Tang Ce even laughed.
But when he looked at Lu Ming, his eyes were full of sincerity:
"If you think it's vulgar, I can change it."
"No."
Lu Ming shook his head and said word by word:
"That's it."
“Direct and accurate.”
“Without pretense.”
"There's no righteousness in our game, no savior."
“Players like it too.”
"Look at the names of popular games right now."
"It's either 'Who Owes Whom' or 'Boss, Don't Open the Door.'"
"Your name is 'Purple Sky Shadow: Strategy of the Dao'. If you click on it, it might just be a green web game."
Tang Ce pursed his lips and smiled.
"Then...this name is decided!"
Lu Ming looked at him deeply and nodded:
"very good."
"Then let's get started."
"You are now one of the main planners of Whale Leap."
"It's time to stand on your own!"
"I fully support your project."
"Don't worry about the budget. I'll assign you a team, provide you with people, and give you money."
"How long do you think this project will take?"
Tang Ce really stood up straight this time.
"Boss Lu, with Whale Leap's current capabilities, I think three months will be no problem!"
"Our game has a non-linear narrative, a multi-play loop mechanism, and multiple endings. It's not difficult to develop a single-player game!"
"Whether it's Whale Leap or I have experience!"
"Okay! That's great!"
"Let me tell you, we at Whale Leap are currently developing another game called 'Border Buddies'. We can definitely launch it together when the time comes!"
Tang Ce: ...
I was so excited that my hands were shaking.
Just after joining the company, you were directly promoted to the core planning circle?
He took a deep breath and nodded slowly:
"Then... let's start now!"
"start!"
Lu Ming did not hesitate.
"'Undercover, You Become Stronger', we'll have a project meeting tomorrow. We'll give you the green light for project establishment, preparation, budget, and resources!"
As soon as Lu Ming finished speaking, the air in the office seemed to become three times hotter.
Tang Ce's heart was shocked.
But he looked at Lu Ming's face, which was half-smiling and with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
He knew that Mr. Lu was serious.
The three words "all green lights" may be just empty words in other companies.
But in Whale Leap, that means:
No need to write reports, no process approvals, no weekly progress reports!
All he has to do is execute!
