The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 3: With these insects.
“Boss! Boss——”

The young assistant Chen Mengling ran over in a panic, her heels making crisp tapping sounds on the smooth floor.

"Oh no! Our account has been stolen!"

Xu Meng looked at the assistant who rushed over and raised her hand to comfort him, "Don't panic, your account has not been hacked, I sent it."

"Oh." The assistant stroked his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good..."

The next moment she realized, "No! Was that sent by you, the boss?"

Xu Meng nodded.

"But...but...this..." the assistant stammered, "When were these decided?"

"10 minutes ago." Xu Meng replied.

The assistant leaned back slightly. "I'll only be out of the office for 10 minutes, right? Was there a meeting during that time?"

"No."

"No?" The assistant blinked. "Didn't important decisions in the past have to be made in meetings?"

"I haven't seen democratic decision-making make the company better." Xu Meng said unhappily.

"Then..." After a few seconds of confusion, the assistant asked the most important question, "Are you serious about replacing the copywriting team?"

"Of course." Xu Meng said without hesitation, "What a crap copy you wrote! Fire him!"

Chen Mengling was very surprised, "But... the copywriting team leader is your senior schoolmate, boss!"

"?" Xu Meng was stunned for a moment, then after a brief recollection, it was indeed like that.

Meng Bing, a woman who was known for her social skills during her college years.

Not only he and Zhang Yang's senior also joined the Dream Building Game at a very early stage.

One of the creative concepts of the copywriting team she leads is: "The characters have their own lives, and the players are just spectators and witnesses of the game world."

Xu Meng's comment on this is:

There's something wrong with my brain!
"Not only the team leader, but also many people in the copywriting team who are responsible for the plot, side quests, and character copywriting are alumni brought in by the senior." The assistant added.

Xu Meng was so upset, no wonder no one objected to such a vicious plot, it turned out that not only was there a problem with the creative concept, but all the characters were related to each other!

Oh shit!

How can we make a good game with this group of insects?
"Fire them! Fire them all!"

"Fire it immediately!"

"Okay... I'll go to the HR department to find Sister Chen." Chen Mengling responded weakly, "Are there any special requirements when you recruit again?"

"Don't worry about that. I'll talk to Sister Chen in detail later." Xu Meng waved her hand and said, "First, invite a few online writers who write harem novels for me."

Xu Meng decided that the plot of "Frost and Snow Plan" would follow the style of the old online novels in which Long Aotian established a harem.

Those who write harem novels are very professional.

"Oh... okay." The assistant was obviously shocked by the concept.

"Forget it, go quickly. When you go out, call the art director and programming director to come to me. Oh, and call the person in charge of the modeling team as well." Xu Meng urged.

The assistant blinked, went out in a daze, and jogged all the way to look for someone.

After a while, she pushed open the office door again and came in with art director Yang Hui, program director Peng Linmu, and modeling supervisor Chen Wanzhong.

"Boss, they are here." She suppressed her breathing and tried to keep her tone steady.

"Well, everyone, sit down." Xu Meng pointed to the leather sofa on the right.

This sofa was also bought by Zhang Yang before, and it seems to be some internationally famous brand.

After seeing everyone sitting down, Xu Meng immediately said, "Time is running out, so I won't waste any more words. Have you seen the notice I sent?"

"I see." Yang Hui and Peng Linmu nodded.

"What announcement?" Chen Wanzhong was confused.

"You..." Xu Meng paused, "Forget it, Mengling, show him."

"Okay." The assistant quickly took out her cell phone and handed it over.

"Bullshit! You know nothing..." Chen Wanzhong said while looking at his phone.

"Snapped!"

The assistant quickly snatched the phone away, "No, I made a mistake. I was refuting those netizens who attacked the boss..."

She quickly operated a few times on her phone and handed it to Chen Wanzhong again.

Chen Wanzhong stopped reading and just looked down at the notice.

Xu Meng looked at the assistant who was like a quail, wanting to bury his head in her chest, and held her forehead in silence. Of course, the comments under that announcement could not all be good.

Some people said DreamBuild was struggling to survive, some were vulgar and obscene, some broke the rules, some accused the operations team of messing around, some questioned the development team's capabilities...

There are all kinds of words.

But within just a few minutes, Chen Mengling first ran to the human resources department to convey the boss's request, and then ran to the art, programming, and modeling offices respectively to inform the boss of the meeting. On the way, she even squeezed out time to communicate with people in the comment section.

This strength really made Xu Meng look sideways.

The announcement did not contain much content, and 30 seconds was enough to read it, but Chen Wanzhong kept the same posture for a long time without moving.

When he looked up again, confusion was written all over his face.

Xu Meng didn't plan to answer his confusion for the time being.

"Have you finished reading it? Then I'll start making arrangements. Put aside the work you're doing now."

"Your next core task is to change your gender and outfit."

"The art department will redraw the characters from high to low according to the number of scenes they appear in."

"I won't hide anything from you. Just paint it in a sexy way. The more sexy the better."

“The same goes for modeling. The more colorful the better. In addition, the level of detail must be guaranteed.”

"We will do it as finely as possible while ensuring the construction period."

Xu Meng looked at Chen Wanzhong: "Your mission is very important..."

"Wait a minute!" Yang Hui, who had been silent all the time, suddenly interrupted Xu Meng.

"What's wrong?" Xu Meng looked at Yang Hui.

"Is it necessary to do this?" Yang Hui asked.

"what do you mean?"

"Change the male character into a female character and give the female character obscene clothes." Yang Hui said with a stern face.

Xu Meng was a little surprised, but still answered sincerely: "Yes, [Game Observer] is right. The company is on the verge of bankruptcy. We have no choice."

But Yang Hui still shook her head: "I can't accept such vulgar and obscene things! Letting the characters sell their bodies is a naked objectification of women!"

Xu Meng was stunned for a moment.

He looked carefully at Yang Hui's expression.

After confirming that she was serious, he said a little speechlessly: "Do you know any otome games? I suggest you go find some otome games with larger scales and more aggressive driving to play, and see how the male characters sell their bodies, and then you won't be entangled in this anymore."

"Let's move on to modeling..."

But Yang Hui interrupted him again: "These are two different things! Women are a vulnerable group. Doing this is an infringement of the rights of all women. It is the objectification and exploitation of women!"

Seeing her gritting her teeth, Xu Meng was even more stunned.

What the hell, aren’t we trying to save the company and everyone’s jobs?

How did it suddenly become a social issue?
If you simply resist vulgarity and refuse to draw sexy characters no matter what, that's fine.

The second generation of players in this world are indeed still at the "cute" and "handsome" stage, so it is normal that the elderly cannot accept the unconventional ways of playing for a while.

Building dreams does not mean playing this kind of game all your life.

The two-dimensional shooting game is originally an unpopulated niche track. Now, in order to save the company, Xu Meng is working at full speed to rush into the soft pornography track, which is an even smaller niche among the niches.

He had no idea that this drastic measure would instantly bring Project Frost back to life and turn it into a cash cow for the company.

——That’s not the case at all.

In Xu Meng's plan, the remade game will most likely bring in a large wave of cash flow.

But that was not a resurrection, but a last gasp of glory.

Just to grab a window of time.

Because "Frost and Snow Project" is inherently flawed.

What really supports the survival of a game is never the sexiness, but the gameplay.

Building dreams ultimately requires taking the right path and relying on hard power to win the recognition of players and the market.

So at this time, if you clearly say that you can't do it, that's okay, just replace it with someone who can do it.

After we pass this stage, we will work together to create something else for the new game.

But what do you mean by fighting with me right away?

Do you think I don't dare to fire you?
