Don't get married if you're reborn.

Chapter 446 Game Rating (5K)

eight pm.

The Game Science Studio is working overtime, and room 208 next door is also packed with students.

Mu Qingyang and her three roommates brought their laptops to room 208 to play. They had already downloaded "Hero Kill" from the Tencent Games platform.

Students without computers used the computers in office 208.

Room 208 practically became Mu Qingyang's activity room. After Marlenia moved to the first floor, the school added several computers and desks and chairs, and even replaced the air conditioner. It's clear that they really treated Zeng Wenjie like their own son.

Mu Qingyang successfully entered the game lobby of "Hero Kill". After finding an empty table and sitting down, he was immediately matched with other players.

Click "Ready" to start the game.

The melodious sound of the guqin emanated from the loudspeaker, and then identities were randomly assigned. By sheer coincidence, she was assigned the role of an inside agent.

When the lord was choosing a person, he selected Lu Zhishen, who was thick-skinned and tough.

Then, Mu Qingyang's character selection page popped up, with five hero cards arranged in order: Guan Yu, Song Jiang, Li Shimin, Liu Bowen, and Goujian.

Subconsciously, she wanted to choose the very stable Liu Bowen, but then she thought that the game had just started its public beta test and no one knew how powerful Goujian was, so they definitely wouldn't target him.

Thinking back to the first time Zeng Wenjie led them to play, he chose Goujian as the spy. After accumulating enough cards and obtaining the Tiger Seal, he went on a killing spree and immediately chose Goujian.

Sure enough, in this eight-player game, no one paid any attention to Goujian, who had a very low profile, allowing her to save her cards smoothly.

When the Tiger Talisman appeared, she decisively used the "Take Something from a Bag" skill to snatch it from the other party, and then transformed into a murderous maniac, starting to clear out the area one by one.

After killing the rebels and loyal ministers one by one, he finally beat his lord to death and won the victory as an inside agent!
"Yay, a great start! I won the first game!!!" Mu Qingyang raised his hands happily and cheered.

Ouyang Yun glanced at her screen and said, "Hey, I lost! My opponent was a complete idiot named Yang Yanzhao, who was on my team and kept killing me. I'm really speechless."

Jiang Yu cheered, "I got my first win too! That's awesome! I chose Yue Fei, and his 'Kill' and 'Dodge' abilities can be used interchangeably, making him super reliable!"

Niu Fangfang sighed and said, "I was unlucky. I was about to win, but then the opponent pulled out a [medicine], and the situation was reversed."

The entire 208 area was quite lively, with everyone playing games, discussing enthusiastically, and shouting loudly, creating a very vibrant atmosphere.

Mu Qingyang smiled and asked, "What do you think of the online experience?"

Jiang Yu, a seasoned player, commented: "Very good. The tutorial is excellent, the card effects are clear at a glance, the character illustrations and card designs are exquisite, the background music is great, and the voice acting is very professional and on point. In short, I really like it!"

Ouyang Yun said, "It's very convenient to play, and it feels more interesting than playing offline. After all, when playing offline, you have to check your health before discarding cards. Playing online is much more convenient; it directly tells you how many cards to discard."

Niu Fangfang couldn't help but say, "I really don't know what's going on in Zeng Wenjie's head, that he could come up with such a fun game! I think this game is definitely going to be a huge hit!"

Mu Qingyang said happily, "His head is full of me!"

"Damn it, you narcissistic rich woman!"

Ouyang Yun couldn't help but bump her with his shoulder, only to find that he hadn't actually bumped her.

Mu Qingyang's deltoid muscles seem quite strong.

Jiang Yu sighed, "It's outrageous! I'm a rich woman, and my boyfriend is a billionaire! Sigh, when will I be able to catch a fish like that?"

Niu Fangfang slowly took a sip of water and said, "Jiang Haiwang, why don't you cast a wide net? One day you'll catch a big fish."

Mu Qingyang was both happy and disappointed. She was happy that Zeng Wenjie's achievements were getting higher and higher, but disappointed that she probably could no longer support him.

That's a hundred million! She doesn't have that much money!

The money she had saved up before, plus what her mother and grandmother left her, was enough for her to live comfortably and support Zeng Wenjie.

In room 207 next door, a few employees were playing "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms," while the rest were nervously watching the data being processed by Tencent.

They are waiting for their feedback after the trial ends at 10 PM.

After 10 o'clock, a pop-up window will appear, showing one to five stars. Players can just click on it; it's not troublesome at all.

Everyone was very nervous, but Zeng Wenjie played the game calmly, using his advantage as a game producer to constantly outmaneuver his opponents and win one victory after another.

It's bound to become a hit. In its previous life, "Hero Kill" wasn't very popular because "Three Kingdoms Kill" was a better game than it was.

To be fair, the early stages of "Three Kingdoms Kill" were quite fun, but since the game's developers took over, its popularity has plummeted.

Right now, "Three Kingdoms Kill" is probably still hiding somewhere, quietly developing, and hasn't been noticed by investors to be turned into an online game.

Therefore, the replacement game "Hero Kill" will definitely become a hit, and Zeng Wenjie will not launch any crazy operations, which will greatly improve its reputation and retain players.

After playing for a while, Zeng Wenjie told everyone to keep busy and ran to the neighboring room 208 to watch the fun.

When the students saw him, they couldn't help but shout excitedly.

Wang Bo nodded solemnly to Zeng Wenjie and said, "You have truly earned my approval. You are the most outstanding guy in 621!"

Lin Zhenshan grunted and said, "Even the most handsome guy still has to ask me for imported chocolates."

Xu Chuan pulled Zeng Wenjie aside and said, "My roommate is a billionaire. If I go out and pick up girls, will I look good?"

Zeng Wenjie asked, "How was the game?"

"It's simple, fun, and brain-teasing. I think it's perfect. The only problem is that the eight-player mode is too slow. Why not introduce a five-player mode?" Lin Zhenshan asked.

“五人场在正式上线之后会推出，还有3V3，1V1的场，1V1会增加一些新玩法。”曾文杰笑道。

"Some bastards know the public test is only two hours long, but they deliberately drag it out. It's so annoying!" Lin Zhenshan cursed.

"Since this is everyone's first time playing, we're all probably not very familiar with it and will need time to get used to it. After all, no one is like you guys, playing offline card games before the game even launches," Zeng Wenjie said helplessly.

Lin Zhenshan nodded and said, "That's right, but that doesn't stop me from calling them bastards!"

Zeng Wenjie felt that the boss had a kind of Ye Qiansheng spirit about him, probably because he hadn't won many games and had only been killed.

"Wow, three wins and zero losses! Little Mu, that's an impressive record!" Zeng Wenjie exclaimed.

"Of course, I'm amazing, I slaughtered them all!" Mu Qingyang boasted proudly.

Zeng Wenjie sat down next to her to watch her play. In an eight-player game, Mu Qingyang had a significant advantage, as she was intelligent and could easily guess the identities of her fellow players.

Moreover, when she is the ruler, she is good at maintaining balance and controlling the players' health. She only protects those who are loyal after confirming who they are.

Soon, Mu Qingyang's record reached four wins and zero losses.

"It's a lot of fun, but I feel like there's a lack of a reward system for winning," Mu Qingyang said, frowning.

"We'll just need to bring in Tencent's Happy Beans system. Each match will require a certain amount of Happy Beans to be paid, and the winner will receive Happy Beans. In addition, a ranking system will be introduced later," Zeng Wenjie said.

"Are you adopting the ranking system of Yicheng Go?" Mu Qingyang asked happily.

Zeng Wenjie shook his head and said, "That's a Go ranking system. Our design is relatively simple: five ranks: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, and Master."

Mu Qingyang thought for a moment and said, "This design is quite simple and concise, and players can easily accept it."

Then, she continued playing the game.

In the fifth game, I got the identity of a rebel and chose Cao Cao, whose skills were relatively average.

While playing, I got killed.

Mu Qingyang turned around and glared angrily at Zeng Wenjie.

"What? What's with that expression?" Zeng Wenjie asked, annoyed.

"It's all your fault! I hadn't lost before you came, but as soon as you arrived, I lost!" Mu Qingyang said angrily.

"Hahaha, what kind of excuses are these?" Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but pinch her puffed-up cheeks; they were soft and smooth, and felt great to the touch. Mu Qingyang said, "It's all your fault."

Zeng Wenjie said, "If you're bad at it, practice more. If you can't handle losing, don't play."

Mu Qingyang gave a soft hum, checked the time, and, not daring to argue with Zeng Wenjie any longer, quickly started the next game.

The game ends at 10 PM. An eight-player game can be quite long, with a typical game lasting ten to twenty minutes.

Zeng Wenjie leaned on Mu Qingyang's shoulder as he watched her play, and then felt something was off.

Shouldn't it be the boyfriend playing games while the girlfriend obediently watches?
How come it's reversed!

Seeing that everyone was engrossed in "Hero Kill", Zeng Wenjie was very satisfied. With this stepping stone, he could talk to Mr. Ma about a deeper cooperation!
By leveraging the power of penguins, one can quickly establish a business without having to painstakingly cultivate the basic market step by step.

With so many users and so many games under its umbrella, Tencent is the perfect partner to build a platform.

While playing the game, Mu Qingyang was also typing in the chat box. "A traitor pretending to be a loyal subject, it's quite amusing."

Before I knew it, it was ten o'clock.

"Please give us a five-star review! We welcome you to come back and play again tomorrow! Um, the game testing period will be about a week, depending on the situation," Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.

Such testing is very necessary. Some players still encountered bugs and other issues during gameplay. These problems can be quickly fixed during the public beta test so that there won't be any issues when the game is officially launched.

Mu Qingyang casually clicked five stars, then submitted, saying, "Very satisfied, five stars for you!"

Ouyang Yun and the others also clicked five stars.

Although Zeng Wenjie is a scoundrel, he's quite loyal, and he made the game, so of course he deserves a five-star rating.

"Wait here for me, I'm going back next door to check the data," Zeng Wenjie said to Mu Qingyang.

"Okay, okay!" Mu Qingyang said, "I haven't had enough fun yet, let's take out the cards and play a couple more rounds."

Zeng Wenjie glanced at the internet-addicted girl with a wry smile, then returned to 207 to check the data.

Yuan Xiuqin was monitoring the data and called out to Zeng Wenjie, "Boss, the average rating is four and a half stars, which is very good data! Generally, a game with four stars or more can be considered a good game."

Zeng Wenjie said, "The test has just ended. Some players haven't come out of the game yet, and some haven't had time to give their evaluations. Let's wait another ten minutes and see."

Everyone watched the data with a mix of tension and anticipation.

Zeng Mi was the most nervous because whether "Hero Kill" became a hit was directly related to her future income.

Ten minutes later, the data came out.

The average rating is 4.6, which is quite respectable.

"The data from Tencent is also good. They say that players are playing for an average of more than an hour, which shows that they are playing the game in depth." Zheng Shouyun reported the data transmitted from Tencent at this time.

Zeng Mi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "So, this game is going to be a hit, right?"

Zheng Shouyun nodded and said, "Judging from the data alone, it's going to be a hit. Hundreds of thousands of online players can be achieved easily. Moreover, it's a board game, which is simple, easy to understand, and easy to learn. People of all ages can play it, so millions of players are possible."

Then, he looked at Zeng Wenjie and smiled, "Mr. Zeng, congratulations in advance on winning the bet and getting shares in the Penguin Games Hall!"

Zeng Wenjie smiled politely and said, "It's too early to say anything before things are settled! Mr. Zheng, I also hope to take your good wishes with me."

Feng Ji exclaimed, "President Zeng, this is clearly your first time making a game, but you've managed to perfect it so well! The market needs more games like 'Hero Kill' that allow players to enjoy the game without spending much money, or even any money at all."

Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "Yes, once 'Hero Kill' is launched, as long as the data is solid, I will go directly to Mr. Ma to discuss cooperation. At that time, we will make more excellent games! Game Science will also shine because of you."

He felt a little strange when he said that.

Feng Ji, the real founder of Game Science Studio, was sitting right in front of him, but now he was his subordinate, working hard for him.

It has to be said that shamelessly seizing this name back then had its advantages; it really did attract a phoenix to settle down here!

"Alright, everyone go back and get some rest today. Come back tomorrow and continue working, fix the bugs and such, and keep collecting player feedback during the open beta to improve the game," Zeng Wenjie said, clapping his hands.

Zeng Mi asked, "Aren't you leaving?"

Zheng Shouyun said, "President Zeng has to spend time with his girlfriend."

After hearing this, Zeng Mi was taken aback, then slightly surprised, and then turned and left with a touch of sadness.

She's not like Feng Xiao; she can't be that open-minded. She's also a young girl at heart, with a bit of wishful thinking in her heart.

Yuan Xiuqin was also slightly disappointed. Mu Qingyang was like a mountain standing between her and Zeng Wenjie, making her have no courage to climb over him!

She couldn't understand why, after coming from Chongqing University to Fengyuan, she was becoming more and more insecure.
After the employees left one by one, Zeng Wenjie chatted with Zheng Shouyun for a while. Just then, Zheng's phone rang.

"Hey, Lao Xue!" Zheng Shouyun called out happily.

"Old Zheng, let's go out for a drink! I just finished some things at the Chamber of Commerce and I'd like to have a couple of drinks to relax," Xue Lu said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I just got off work too, I'll be right there!" Zheng Shouyun said.

Zeng Wenjie felt that since Zheng Shouyun and Xue Lu knew each other, he had finally found his tribe!

After he was left alone in the studio, he locked the door and went to room 208.

Mu Qingyang was playing cards with some classmates. Zeng Wenjie saw that they had just started a game, so she didn't disturb them. She used her laptop, which was still on, to open a webpage and browse the news.

Reviews of "Hero Kill" came out quickly. Several well-known game reviewers praised the game after playing it, saying that it was very novel and fun, easy to pick up, yet not lacking in depth.

Jiang Yong jumped out triumphantly and said, "You haters, are you embarrassed now? You still say I took bribes? Tell me if 'Hero Kill' is fun or not!"

Some netizens who didn't get a chance to test the game commented sarcastically, saying they hadn't played it and therefore didn't know if it was fun or not.

Then, a post quickly went viral, titled "Hero Kill plagiarized our Three Kingdoms Kill".

The post detailed the creative process and timeline of "Three Kingdoms Kill".

However, the current "Three Kingdoms Kill" game mechanism is not as mature as "Hero Kill". It cannot be said that it is full of loopholes, but there are still many unreasonable aspects in its design.

Upon seeing this, Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but laugh. "I copied 'Hero Kill,' what does it have to do with 'Three Kingdoms Kill'? Garbage game, just die in the womb, so it won't disgust the vast number of players."

Although he didn't care much, the post was still very popular, and many people commented on it.

Zeng Wenjie has become incredibly popular lately, generating a lot of buzz and traffic, so naturally, there are many people who are jealous of him.

So, everyone went crazy criticizing him, calling him a thief and a plagiarist, saying that someone with such a big reputation would do something like plagiarism, and that he was worse than trash.

"Whatever, send me a lawyer's letter if you dare," Zeng Wenjie thought to himself, shrugged, and then browsed other posts.

However, some netizens offered a rational analysis, pointing out that Zeng Wenjie is from Chongshan, and "Sanguosha" only circulates in a small offline circle. Many people don't even know that this card game exists in the world. Moreover, the game mechanics of "Sanguosha" are not as mature as those of "Hero Kill," so the possibility of plagiarism is small. The most likely explanation is that it's just a coincidence in terms of references.

Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but chuckle after reading it. That was exactly what he was thinking too, and he would answer the reporter's question in the future in the same way.

What a big deal.

At 10:30, Zeng Wenjie stood up and said, "Let's all come back to play tomorrow. It's time to go back and rest. The dorm will be closed soon and we won't be able to get in."

The students all stood up, joked with him for a while, and then left.

They felt that Zeng Wenjie, who now has a net worth of over 100 million, is still quite easy to get along with and doesn't seem like a billionaire at all!

Mu Qingyang put the notebook into his bag, then poked Zeng Wenjie's hand with his finger.

Zeng Wenjie pulled her aside and said, "Let's go get some late-night snacks. I'm a little hungry after a long day of work."
