The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 17 A Dark Sword

When Xu Meng was counting on his fingers the development progress of each department, thunderous cheers suddenly broke out outside the door.

There were also bursts of applause from farther away.

So Xu Meng stopped thinking about it and closed the empty cash box with satisfaction.

He knew that he had achieved his goal.

As for the reserve funds, they were all used up and the company's cash on hand became tight again...

As long as the cash flow becomes healthy after the major update of "Frost Project", this problem can be easily solved.

——With the company’s current work enthusiasm and output results, Xu Meng is full of confidence in this update!
Of course, the money that players spend on in-game items will not be transferred to the company’s account so quickly next month.

But it's not a big deal.

As long as the cash flow of the "Frost and Snow Project" increases dramatically, he will have the confidence to borrow another sum of money from the bank.

Or he could use the gold coins from Zhongdeng and the pocket money given by Zhang Yang's mother to meet his emergency needs.

As long as you are sure you can pay it back, borrowing money for financial purposes is not unacceptable.

In short, in short, as long as the "Frost and Snow Plan" can reverse the downward trend, all problems can be solved.

Xu Meng did not run out to accept the cheers of the employees at this time, but waited until the situation outside calmed down before leaving the meeting room.

Even so, the employees still looked at them with awe.

In addition, Xu Meng also discovered an unexpected gain——

The employees' enthusiasm for work seems to be even higher, and they leave work later and later.

Until one day, Chen Wanzhong appeared in the office carrying a roll of bedding.

Then, this behavior spread quickly like a virus, like a seasonal flu called "Blanket", sweeping through the three departments of programming, animation, and modeling in a blink of an eye.

Xu Meng was a little scared when she saw it.

He counted his output for the day, compared it with the averages of the three departments, and decisively stopped working to start doing logistics.

First things first, fill the rec room with snacks and drinks.

We also posted a solicitation on the office software, asking employees to fill in their favorite snacks and drinks, which the administration will then purchase and fill in quickly.

Then I asked Sister Chen to find a restaurant nearby and discuss cooperation.

Allow employees to order food freely and then have the restaurant deliver it.

Although it is still takeout, the company has people supervising it, so at least you don’t have to worry about running into unhygienic workshops and causing health problems.

Finally, he ran to Ningzhou Kangya Hospital and consulted his doctor.

After making sure that the supplements he was drinking now were suitable for ordinary workers, he bought a large amount of goods and gave a box to each of the employees of Dream Building.

The programming, animation, and modeling departments will issue three times the amount.

When the employees received the supplements from their boss, they were stunned.

It was unclear whether the boss was concerned about their health or hinting that "there are tonics that can help them work harder."

Until one day, someone discovered that the company had three more AEDs (automated external defibrillators), placed in the offices of the programming, animation and modeling departments.

They finally understood: the boss was worried that they would die suddenly in the office.

As a result, the "bedcloth flu" was finally effectively contained.

Xu Meng also breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, the large-scale poaching incident at Konjac Games that he had always been worried about never happened.

Instead, he once again heard a wonderful piece of gossip about the Konjac Game from his assistant Chen Mengling:

Konjac Game was blacklisted by Longteng Fashion.

Longteng Fashion is the agency that DreamZhu contacted when inviting models.

Chen Mengling got this information from the model whose stage name is Zilin.

This incident actually happened a week ago, but Zilin was a low-level model, so Longteng Fashion naturally did not notify her specifically. Zilin got the news through casual chatting with friends in the same industry, so there is inevitably some lag.

But there is also an advantage to getting news through this channel -

That is, you will get a lot of on-site details that are difficult to distinguish between true and false.

According to the details of the scene relayed to Xu Meng by assistant Chen Mengling, relayed to her by You Zilin, and relayed to her by the model who worked with her at the time -

Konjac Games invited eight professional models with higher net worth and better figures.

Unlike those low-level models who have just entered the modeling industry because of ideals, enthusiasm, or other reasons, these are full-time models who have persisted through the trials and tribulations. They are not very famous, but they are well-rounded and have no shortage of work.

So, she is not as easy to bully as the little models at the bottom level.

But the konjac game still hasn't become more professional, and it still treats the bottom models the same way as before.

During the photo shoot, a group of people gathered around, pointing and talking, and from time to time they took out their cell phones and took pictures of the model with lewd smiles.

Some models expressed dissatisfaction.

But the person in charge of the konjac game just responded with a few words and didn't take it seriously.

Then, a hot-tempered model dropped her props, walked out of the shooting area, and slapped a lewd man in the face.

(Hearing this, Xu Meng raised her eyebrows in surprise.)
The obscene man refused to accept the slap and wanted to slap back, but the other models also rushed up and slapped him to the ground one by one.

The wretched man's colleagues came to help, and a fight broke out between the two sides, with several people's faces being scratched.

(Xu Meng's raised eyebrows fell again, and her trust in this third-hand information dropped by 80 percentage points.)
In the end, the two sides parted unhappily.

After that, after several clashes between the two companies, Longteng Fashion blocked Konjac Games.

Not only did he refuse all cooperation, he also informed his colleagues about the situation.

The assistant finished speaking.

Xu Meng nodded and commented in one word: Good death.

Too bad he didn't really die.

But soon, Xu Meng realized, "This seems to be a very powerful weapon!"

"If you can use it at the right time, it's extremely powerful! It might even destroy Konjac's new game!"

The second-level game circle is originally about selling characters.

This is especially true for the second tour that focuses on sex.

If players knew that game designers treated real-life models like this, how would they treat virtual characters?

Not to mention that these real-life models are, to a certain extent, reference objects for virtual characters.

If players knew about this, and didn’t start a super rhythm, they would no longer be second-level players!
"Okay, okay!" Xu Meng recalled the series of records in the little notebook about the konjac games that had offended him.

He looked at his assistant: "Mengling, I have a very important job for you!"

"Boss, tell me!"

"I'll grant you a special fund. Contact Zilin and try to find the model who was there through her to find out what happened that day."

"It would be best if we could find video footage. If not, we can pay to record a video interview of the person involved."

"How about it, can you do it?"

"Yes!" the assistant said confidently.

She has realized that the boss is trying to trip up Konjac Game.

Anyway, those models have also been offended by the Konjac Game. Now that they know someone is willing to vent their anger, they will definitely not hide it.

As long as you find the right person, it's not difficult at all!

The young assistant set out with full confidence and got the job done in less than three days.

After watching the interview video and a 35-second video with a slightly shaky camera that she brought back, Xu Meng was full of praise for the assistant's ability to do things.

After encrypting and storing it on the company server, he downloaded another copy to a USB drive and put the USB drive in a drawer.

Looking at Xu Meng's actions, the assistant was a little confused: "Boss, aren't we going to announce it?"

Xu Meng shook her head: "It's useless to announce it now. At most, netizens will criticize it a few times, but it won't hurt Konjac Game at all."

"hold on."

"Okay." The assistant felt a little sorry.

Xu Meng closed the drawer, put the hidden sword into the box, and waited quietly for the day when it would be unsheathed.

……

In this quiet waiting, the last few days of May passed quietly.

In the blink of an eye, it was the last day.
