You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 4: First day of work, work is eating, drinking and having fun

Lu Yu thought about it and decided to release the game before the next cycle.

Even if he himself does not receive salary from the system account, Liu Mengyuan's monthly cost is more than 4000 yuan. If the company does not find a profit point, it will not last more than two months.

Send a message to Liu Mengyuan on WeChat:

"Tomorrow, Monday, we'll officially start work."

"Okay! ヾ(▽)ノ"

"Do you know that pedestrian street with flower houses near our university town? Let's meet there."

"Ah, why? Shouldn't we just rent an office and work there? (⊙o⊙)..."

"You'll find out when you get there. Good night."

Putting down the phone, Liu Mengyuan's cheeks flushed.

At this moment, she was lying on the bed wearing a light pink nightgown.

Under the light gauze, her slender waist is faintly visible, and the hem of her skirt highlights her white and smooth thighs.

The collar of the nightgown was open, revealing the white collarbone and slender neck, as smooth as jade.

In her arms, she held a faded cat-shaped stuffed doll, which was the celebratory gift Lu Yu gave her after "The Way of Cats" won the award.

"No, Liu Mengyuan, you have to stay calm!"

The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. She simply slapped her face and went to sleep under the quilt.

……

Not far from Liu Mengyuan’s dormitory building, there is a serviced apartment across the street.

By the window, a tall and cool woman wearing sunglasses and a suit turned her eyes away from the telescope.

The phone rang in front of her, and her hand approached the collar of her suit.

Pull out your phone from the canyon between the towering peaks.

"Wang Su, what's going on?"

"Please rest assured, Chairman. I have organized several special working groups to rotate shifts and will definitely ensure the safety of the young lady."

"This little girl is obviously going to starve, but she hasn't cried and made a fuss about going home yet?"

"Well... not really. On the contrary, he looks a little happy."

"Hmph, maybe he still has some money left. I don't think the commotion will last long. Please report any new developments to me at any time."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Su, the security director of Liu Group, felt complicated.

She had been hesitating whether to tell the chairman that the eldest lady was showing signs of falling in love.

After thinking about it, she decided to give up as she had no evidence yet.

It is also foreseeable that the chairman will be in an even worse mood. If she is in a bad mood, the entire group will have no hope of living in peace.

The veins on the back of Wang Su's hand twitched slightly, and he clenched his fist slightly.

"Heh, congratulations, man. No matter who you are, you've successfully caught the group's attention."

……

The next day, Hualou Pedestrian Street.

Liu Mengyuan changed into a fresh and cute white sailor suit and tied a blue silk scarf, adding a touch of playfulness.

The hooked tights have been replaced by black over-the-knee socks. The shiny black stockings fit the slender legs, making them elegant and sexy.

A pair of beautiful feet wearing shiny little leather shoes complement the clothes perfectly.

When Lu Yu walked side by side with her, the boys passing by all looked at them sideways with envious expressions.

Lu Yu was also dressed casually, looking relaxed, and didn't look like a producer at all.

Liu Mengyuan was a little confused: "So, the working hours are changed to tomorrow?"

"No, I'm officially back to work now. Today's main work content is shopping, eating, drinking and having fun!"

"Ah this..."

Liu Mengyuan was a little worried. This company... wouldn't go bankrupt in just two months, right?

After all, the existence of the system cannot be exposed, so Lu Yu has to find a way to fool this girl:
"Let me ask you, what was the original purpose of the art form of games?"

“Is it to bring happiness to the players?”

"Yeah, but if the game developers themselves aren't happy, how can they convey the same emotions to the players? So, my first day at work is to have fun and think about the subject matter of my first game."

It made so much sense that she couldn't refute it.

So, Liu Mengyuan, with a confused look on his face, was led by Lu Yu and began to stroll leisurely in the pedestrian street.

Soon after entering from the street corner, they smelled the tempting aroma of Jianbing from afar.

The stall owner skillfully pours the batter onto the pancake pan, then adds egg liquid, chopped green onions, sauce and other ingredients, and fryes until golden and crispy.

This kind of pancake stall is a standard feature near university towns.

"A ball of batter is rolled into a perfect circle. It looks so fun!"

Liu Mengyuan was so excited as if he had discovered a new world.

Lu Yu sighed inwardly. It seemed that Liu Lan protected his daughter too well, which made her feel fresh about many things in the outside world.

"Boss, give her a pancake to spread for fun."

"Huh? Are you kidding? I'm busy."

"I'll pay double."

"Okay, you're welcome~" The pancake uncle bared his teeth and thought to himself: Good boy, you actually come to my pancake stall to pick up girls.

Liu Mengyuan rolled up his sleeves and began to awkwardly spread out a strange-shaped pancake. Fortunately, the uncle made up for it in time and it tasted pretty good.

Take a bite, and the crumbs fall off with a crunch.

Liu Mengyuan's soft, plump lips curled up in a sweet curve. She squinted her eyes like a cat, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

This cute way of eating made Lu Yu purse his lips slightly, and his expression gradually became unrestrained.

He coughed dryly and looked away.

Be more restrained, take it slow, and don't scare her away.

[Enjoy the delicious pancakes, feel happy, and get +2 leisure points]

[Employee Liu Mengyuan personally tried making and tasting it, leisure points +0.4]

Next, Lu Yu took her to visit various stalls on the pedestrian street and asked her to spin the marshmallows, squeeze the cream for the ice cream, and throw rings in the lottery stall to win a bottle of mineral water.

When he reached the end of the street, Lu Yu had earned a total of 8 leisure points.

Liu Mengyuan, on the other hand, watched belatedly as various strange proficiency levels increased:
[Pancake Making Skill +1]

[Marshmallow Transformation Proficiency +1]

[Ring Tossing Proficiency +1]

……

What the hell is this? What happened to fighting for our dreams?
"It cost you money."

Liu Mengyuan felt a little embarrassed. She was short of money and Lu Yu was the one who paid for everything.

"It's okay. These are all normal R&D activities, and we're spending the company's R&D funds."

"..."

Does he have any misunderstanding about R&D funds? Can this company really continue to operate?
No, this girl must find a way to find something fulfilling and serious to do!
"By the way, when do we start discussing the project?"

"Don't worry, we're almost there."

Lu Yu pointed to the end of the street corner, where there was a cat cafe with a sign that read: "Cat's Tea".

A cat cafe is a coffee shop where you can drink coffee while petting cats.

When you open the door, you will see cat-themed art paintings hanging on the wall opposite you.

The lobby has comfortable sofas and coffee tables, and the floor is covered with soft carpets that are crawling with cats.

An orange British shorthair basked in the sun on the windowsill, a blue-eyed Siamese cat crouched beside the counter, its eyes lively. A black and white tabby nimbly dove between the customers, drawing bursts of laughter from the girls.

Liu Mengyuan didn't say anything and started rubbing each cat madly.

Tired of petting the cat, she turned around and found that Lu Yu was already typing on his laptop, thinking of something.

I have to say, this man's profile is still a bit handsome when he is working seriously.

With a dry cough, Liu Mengyuan changed her gradually blooming infatuated smile back to a ladylike expression.

No, you have to take it slow and don't scare him away.

As soon as she sat down, the system reminded her:

[Congratulations, the host's ten cat petting attempts have triggered the guaranteed bonus, and the life skill "Cat Petting Technique" has been directly upgraded to Lv2]

[Cat Petting Technique Lv2: Deft petting techniques can help cats lower their guard more quickly, gaining their trust. Furthermore, this skill's special attack on the cat's chin is increased by 20%.]

[Left to trigger the next level guarantee: 30 times. ]

She was speechless and choked.

We said we would feel proud of ourselves, but what weird tricks are these?

It’s a rip-off!
But, I have to admit, the sun is shining, Lu Yu is by my side, and I’m stroking the cat in my arms, so it’s... pretty comfortable?
The waiter brought the drinks. Lu Yu ordered a cappuccino, while Liu Mengyuan ordered a red bean milk tea.

She felt refreshed as she gulped down the milk and chewed the soft pearls.

Lu Yu smiled and said:

"Girls seem to care about their figure. Won't ordering a super large cup mean I'll exceed the calorie limit?"

"How's the saying? My sister says it's zero card!"

[Relaxingly enjoying a cup of coffee and chatting with a beautiful woman, Leisure Points +3]

Employee Liu Mengyuan is enjoying petting cats and drinking tea. Leisure Points +0.5

Up to now, I have earned a total of 1150 yuan, so great!
Being able to enjoy life and get money at the same time made Lu Yu even more reluctant to let go of such a great golden finger.

Therefore, we still have to find a way to release the game as soon as possible so that the company can continue to operate.

"Do you still remember the inspiration for developing 'The Way of Cats' in the club?"

Seeing Lu Yu start talking about business, Liu Mengyuan also became excited.

"I remember." She took a sip of her milk tea. "It's a Hollywood cartoon called Tom and Jerry, right?"

In fact, from Lu Yu's perspective of more than ten years in the industry, the game "Cat's Way" that he developed at Youyanshe can be described as simple.

It mainly tells the story of a mouse at home, who tries various ways to avoid being chased by a house cat and finally successfully escapes back to the hole.

The game's resources are extremely rudimentary, and it even uses free templates. Moreover, the game is no less difficult than "Cat Rio", and it is full of unreasonable traps, which really provides no user experience.

The highlight is the overly stylized level design and artistic image.

Today, when Lu Yu saw Liu Mengyuan petting a cat, his memory was awakened again.

"I want to make a new horizontal scrolling game based on 'Cat's Way'. Let's call it 'Cat Girl Paradise Adventure'."
