Chapter 281 Chosen Talent!
Whale Leap Headquarters,
There was no morning meeting, no announcement was issued, but Lu Ming's office door was closed since ten o'clock.
The planning team, the copywriting team, the numerical team, and the art team all seemed to have been hit by a bullet.
Several responsible persons had been prepared to be scolded early in the morning.
Everyone arrived early, each holding a review report, a risk list, and a numerical adjustment plan.
As a result, they waited and waited, but there was no emergency meeting, nor did they wait for President Lu to lose his temper.
Although, they all knew that Mr. Lu had a good temper,
But, at this time, we should hold a meeting, right?
"...Mr. Lu...didn't you read the comments section?"
…
In Lu Ming's office, the curtains were half-drawn and the light was dim.
The air was filled with a faint scent of tea. Lu Ming sat in his office chair, looking indescribably...comfortable.
It’s really comfortable.
At this moment, he was leaning back in his chair, holding the mouse in his hand.
As he flicked through the comment sections of various platforms on the screen, the excitement he couldn't suppress almost overflowed from his eyes.
This is the atmosphere that a game should have when it goes online!
He seemed to have seen the big gift package that would be settled in a few hours!
However, until the last moment,
He didn't want to relax for a moment.
He took a deep breath and pulled out a small booklet from his desk drawer. On the front was a row of large, gold-plated characters:
Feng Shui: Reference for Auspicious Days
He turned to the page he had marked this morning:
[Today is a good day to break through the difficulties, travel, and attract wealth]
[The most auspicious direction of the five elements: due west! ]
Lu Ming slapped his thigh on the spot.
“West!!”
"Our office is located due west, which is exactly where the wind blows."
"What does this mean? It means the wind is right."
"It's right if something happens!"
He took a deep breath and ate up all the iced tofu pudding he ordered for takeout.
I stayed up late reading the comments last night.
He almost got pimples from overeating, so it was just right for him to eat some tofu pudding to cool down.
"Tsk, this feng shui is so accurate."
"The timing, the location, and the people are all right. There's nothing wrong with that!"
Lu Ming chuckled and pushed the takeaway cup aside.
I opened the official account backend and clicked on a few discussion threads, sorting them by the most popular comments.
[I really don't understand the planner's thinking. I'm just asking, which mecha is operated by two people?]
[I suggest Mr. Lu come down and fight me. If he can't beat me, I'll give him some White Flower Snake Grass water.]
[If your relationship with your partner isn't broken, it will definitely be broken after this game.]
[I just got back together with my ex last week, and broke up again this week after playing this game. Thanks, Whale Leap.]
[I've been typing this for hours now, and I really want to curse, but I don't know why I haven't uninstalled it yet.]
…
Lu Ming felt very happy when he saw these.
He knew that not all games could be like this.
He has been waiting for this for a long time!
Moreover, the popularity of "Undercover Becomes Stronger" is also soaring.
Various "Collection of Undercover Failure Moments" and "Collection of Mingde Frauds" have also automatically generated more than a dozen sub-topics.
Competitive cooperative games like "Border Buddies" are equally outrageous.
It even caused more public opinion!
Because it is about cooperation, trust, and emotions!
It's that kind of——
"I was almost winning, it's all your fault!"
"If your knife had been half a second later, I would have rushed out!"
"Can't you just follow my lead?"
"I told you to go left, but you insisted on going right!"
"Are you deliberately not wanting me to win?"
"Where's the tacit understanding? Where's the tacit understanding between us, the upper and lower bunks?"
…
Lu Ming could almost imagine that the conversations in countless live broadcast rooms were on the verge of mutual abuse.
He stood up and paced back and forth in the office.
Coming to the window, I stretched and sighed:
"This debt value...it's been a long time since I last saw it."
"It's no wonder I checked the almanac in advance today!"
"I told you, today is a lucky day!"
Just finished speaking, the next second.
A familiar prompt sound immediately popped up in my mind.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, the moral debt value has exceeded 100,000 points! ]
[The phased conditions have been met and a random reward has been obtained]
[Rewards are being randomly drawn...]
!!!!!!
There are also unexpected surprises!
The debt value has exceeded 100,000?
Lu Ming's eyes lit up.
"A hundred thousand in debt has already accumulated in just one day... That's fine!"
The speed at which the system prompt sound appeared was as rapid as his breathing rhythm at the moment.
It feels a bit good.
It feels really good.
Every previous wave of negative comments was accompanied by risks, pressure, and doubts.
But this time is different.
The speed of negative reviews this time is unprecedented!
Find a school to cooperate with.
Looking for the top students in the bad review training class,
Using the echo scoring mechanism,
This time, it’s a great start!
【bite……】
[Reward: Talent Summoning Card]
[Please note: This card is a limited-time item and must be used within 15 minutes, otherwise it will be automatically invalidated.]
[Once activated, this will trigger a three-choice mechanism, selecting three candidates from the "Core Gaming Talent Pool"]
[Talent types will cover: game development, disruptive planning, and industry iteration]
[Note: This card cannot be stored or extended. You must choose one person immediately after drawing it.]
"Oh?" Lu Ming raised his eyebrows.
"This is the first time I've seen a reward like this that must be used immediately."
"But...it makes sense."
"After all, unlike the previous upgrade cards, this time's card is a summoning type!"
Lu Ming looked at the card flashing with golden light in front of him.
A little depressed,
As for talent, to be honest, he is not short of it.
You didn’t give me a bad review talent!
On the contrary, you are giving away the top talents in the gaming industry!
In Lu Ming's opinion... the more advanced it is, the more troublesome it is.
He was really scared.
What should we do if the top talent makes a simple move and all the players applaud?
However, there is good news and bad news.
The good news is that this time the card can be used without consuming debt value.
The bad news is that this card is used to add talent to his company!
Whale Leap is already so good,
What other talents are needed?
If you need planning, there must be planning; if you need development, there must be development!
Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick both have it,
The bad review training class is also full of talents.
Who wouldn’t say after seeing this that his students are everywhere in the world?
Moreover, this thing is a "talent" rewarded by the system after all.
That's definitely not an ordinary NPC.
Instead, he is a super role that can influence his overall strategic structure and even the efficiency of project promotion at this stage.
"Why do you have to give me a talent card now?"
Lu Ming murmured softly, feeling a little distressed.
What if a fire captain comes to clean up the mess for the players? Wouldn’t that be the end of it?
He knows the system too well.
The system never produces ordinary people.
It produces a character that comes from heaven with talent and skills.
No matter which team he is placed in, he will become the core combat force within a month, and even become the core seed player who will trigger qualitative changes in the project.
That's the problem.
What Lu Ming wants is imbalance, not qualitative change.
Lu Ming rubbed his face with a headache.
He hesitated for two seconds, but finally clicked it.
【Talent Call Card activated successfully】
[Candidate selection begins...]
[Please choose one of the following three candidates and sign the contract immediately:]
The next second, the familiar virtual screen unfolded.
Three shadowy figures stood there, each with a label and description on their body.
Candidate A: Bai Zhou
[Identity: Game Development]
[Specialties: underlying engine construction, heterogeneous code integration, module reuse optimization]
[Introduction: He once independently developed three large-scale RPG projects, without any bugs for ten years]
"Oh my god...this is too intense."
Pooh!
No bugs in 10 years?
Wouldn't that be the end of me?
That's too inappropriate for whale jumping!
A developer without bugs is not pure at all!
Candidate B: Duan Cheng
[Identity: Subversive Planning]
[Specialties: Extreme gameplay exploration, confrontational narrative design, word-of-mouth crisis optimization]
[Introduction: Possessing strong communication and explosiveness, skilled in viral topic packaging, the ultimate PR person!]
Lu Ming looked at it for a second.
I decisively turned my head away, fearing that if I looked any longer I would be affected by the other person's good luck!
Word-of-mouth crisis optimization! The best public relations person!
Isn't this person his chosen nemesis?
Besides, why does the company need so much planning?
This person must be eliminated!
Candidate C: Yao Wenqing
[Identity: Industry Iteration Type]
[Specialties: Capturing market trends, evolving gameplay models, and integrating cross-domain content]
[Introduction: Expert in proposing next-generation game architecture concepts and assisting in building mid- to long-term plans]
"this……"
Lu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly.
At first glance, it's not very eye-catching.
His expertise is not development, numerical, copywriting or operations.
It's about studying industry iteration and so on.
This person is great!
No balancing, no value changes, no UI changes, and no comment section attention.
Only responsible for researching the subsequent planning of the industry,
This kind of talent is the choice least likely to cause the current chaos!
Lu Ming glanced at the other party's ability description again and confirmed it three times.
No development involved.
Don't interfere with the planning.
Does not touch project balance.
in short:
"Whether this game is alive or dead now has nothing to do with him."
Moreover, the settlement is only a few hours away.
No matter what this person does, he can't affect the overall situation!
This person is the best choice at the moment!
It's you!
