The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 16 Danger Signal

On the way to find Ding Nian, Xu Meng passed by the animation and modeling department.

Since I was already here, I went in and took a few walks around.

He seldom comes to these two departments.

Because he has nothing to guide either animation or modeling.

What these people need is not guidance, but liver-protecting drugs - or more labor to work together with their livers.

Every character has to be re-modeled, and for each model, the front chest and buttocks have to be rendered with tens of thousands of faces.

The most exaggerated one is the red-haired elder sister Tongque.

Because Ding Nian added several cup sizes, her figure became too explosive, and the redrawn clothing further highlighted her figure. The final result was -

They pushed the modeling face count to 13!

Directly created a new record for the second-level role.

These efforts are certainly not in vain, and the final visual effect is amazing!
Everyone who saw the actual effect, regardless of gender, stared at it with their eyes wide open.

Animators and modelers felt an indescribable urge in their hearts.

Then, I became even more cruel!
The rendering accuracy of each character assigned to us far exceeds the mission goal.

The three main characters, Tongque, Heyin, and Xiao Ningxi, all have over 10 faces.

The other characters also range from 5 to 7 faces.

This is a number that would make many second-hand tour colleagues drop their jaws, and it is almost twice the industry standard!
Those characters only have a few animated pictures, not to mention the second game which doesn't even have physical modeling.

Not on the same level at all.

Now, they are the group of people in the entire company who have the most confidence in the "Frost and Snow Project".

After Xu Meng expressed his condolences, he found himself a little redundant.

These people have entered a state of working independently and confidently, and do not need his comfort at all.

They even feel that their boss comes here to talk nonsense and wastes their time, delaying their work.

Xu Meng then left dejectedly and went to find Ding Nian.

Ding Nian was much more normal and didn't think he was a nuisance at all.

The only problem is that I always want to talk to him about my creative ideas.

He had seen the scene of the art department discussing creative concepts the last time he came here, and it was as fierce and aggressive as wolves and tigers.

It was really hard for him to get a word in.

But in order to maintain relationships and give employees "home-like warmth", he had to bite the bullet and listen to Ding Nian talk about her experience, and smile and nod to show his approval from time to time.

When she left the art department again, Xu Meng felt that her face was frozen from smiling.

The good news is that Ding Nian had a great time chatting, and even got some new ideas.

Xu Meng asked me to design the battle damage, but some characters have too few clothes and it’s difficult to reduce them?

That can be replaced!

For example, for the octopus monster that I just planned to design, you can use the ink sprayed by the octopus monster to replace the character’s original clothes!
Xu Meng followed her train of thought and went deeper. She didn’t even need to see the finished product. Just thinking about it made her feel so arousing!

You are worthy of being my general.

Girl, you are really a genius at being naughty!

Ding Nian went to work with great enthusiasm, and Xu Meng felt that he had solved the hidden danger and left with satisfaction.

Until this night.

I had already turned off the lights and lay down on the bed. When I closed my eyes and was about to go to sleep, Xu Meng suddenly sat up.

"wrong!"

He suddenly realized that he had overlooked something very important.

Konjac Game failed in its attempt to poach Ding Nian. As the boss of Dream Building, it should not be relaxed but should be fully vigilant!
This is a very dangerous signal.

Ding Nian has been doing well at work recently, his boss values ​​him and he is expected to get a promotion, so of course it is hard to poach him.

But Konjac Games is obviously not a gentleman. What if one day it becomes shameless and ruthless and poaches DreamZhu employees with high salaries indiscriminately?

It is impossible for everyone to be as determined as Ding Nian.

By then, the company will continue to lose manpower and its production capacity will not be able to keep up, and it will soon be on the verge of bankruptcy again.

And Konjac Games not only eliminated its competitors, but also recruited a wave of painters who were trained by Dream Building and were able to draw the characters.

As for those employees who are no longer needed, just keep them for a month or two until Dream Building goes bankrupt, and then use cold violence to force them to leave.

It's really a profitable business!
The boss of Konjac Games didn't do that, maybe just because he didn't expect it.

He couldn't bet that the other party wouldn't do it.

After realizing this, Xu Meng took action immediately——

He didn't even sleep and started to cash out the 200 million cryptocurrencies given by the system.

——This is much more troublesome than he imagined. Although Xia State did not completely ban cryptocurrency, it also set up quite a few obstacles.

He waited two days just for the overseas remittance, and another two days for the appointment to withdraw the money. It was already the fifth day when he finally arrived at the company with a cash box weighing nearly 50 kilograms.

The box was half a meter long and nearly 40 centimeters wide. Xu Meng, a weakling with occupational diseases and who drank supplements every day, could barely walk a few steps while holding this thing.

The young assistant Chen Mengling came running over to help.

But how good can a female college student be?
The two men were still gasping for breath while carrying the boxes, and had to put them down to rest after walking only a few dozen steps.

Xu Fang, who came to work, happened to see this scene.

He walked over quickly and rolled up his shirt sleeves to reveal his muscular arms.

With just his arms, he picked up the 50-pound box and easily carried it all the way into the large conference room on the third floor.

When I let it go, my face didn't turn red, my heart didn't beat fast, and even my breathing was not disordered.

Xu Meng gave Xu Fang a thumbs up on the spot and praised his muscles highly.

Then he opened the box in front of them, revealing a whole box of cash and a thick stack of empty red envelopes.

"???"

"!!!"

Chen Mengling and Xu Fang widened their eyes in surprise.

It is difficult for ordinary people to see large amounts of cash piled up in their daily lives - even if they really need to use money, they would transfer it electronically, as cash is too inconvenient.

So when you first see so much money, the visual impact is very strong.

While the two were stunned, Xu Meng had already started taking out money in piles, all piling them on the hard solid wood conference table.

"Boss... why did you bring so much money?" the young assistant couldn't help but ask.

"Give out the bonuses." Xu Meng said as he took them out. "Don't just stand there. Come and help."

"okay."

Xu Fang and Chen Mengling joined in.

In the end, the 200 million in cash piled up into a small mountain on the desk.

"Okay." Xu Meng wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, "Mengli, go call the heads of each department over to divide the money."

"Oh oh!" The young assistant turned and ran.

I have to say that the charm of money is powerful. In less than 5 minutes, all department leaders arrived.

Xu Meng didn't waste any time and started dividing the money in piles on the spot.

While dividing the money, he also explained: "The company's financial situation is indeed a bit tight right now."

——This matter is not a secret. After being exposed by [Game Observation], it has become an open secret.

“But we have found the right direction. After the major update of Project Frost and Snow, all problems will be solved.”

——This is half true and half false.

"Thanks to everyone's efforts, the most dangerous time has passed."

——This is all lies.

"To thank everyone for their hard work, I will cash out part of the bonus today to encourage everyone."

"Of course, when you return, remember to explain this to the department staff—"

"This bonus is only a small part."

"After the game is updated, there will be bonuses far exceeding this amount."

……

Xu Meng is a bit talkative.

But obviously no one would mind it at this time.

Even the head of the administrative department, who had the smallest number of people and workload and therefore received less bonus than other departments, was smiling from ear to ear.

After all, it’s unexpected money, who wouldn’t like it?

These leaders left the office with empty red envelopes in their pockets and stacks of cash in their arms, their faces beaming, and went back to their departments to distribute the money.

Xu Mengze sat alone in the conference room, staring at the empty cash box in a daze.

In order to stabilize the team, he used up the last of his backup funds.

"If the company goes bankrupt, I can use this anonymous money to live somewhere else."

He blocked this retreat himself.

Although it was a fallback that was not taken into consideration from the beginning, there is a difference between having it and not having it.

The sense of urgency for game updates seems to be a little heavier.

That day was August 5th.

There are only 10 days left until the update of "Frost and Snow Project".
