We promised to develop a game called Candy Crush, what the hell is the Third Reich?

Chapter 4: Spend the rest of your life in federal prison

Shen Qinghan widened his eyes and looked at Zhao Ming in shock.

In the "Anti-War Competition" of the six major federal organizations, a game was created to experience war.

Will it be popular?
No need to ask, it will definitely be a hit.

After all, Zhao Ming is the only one who does this, so how can he not be popular?

Even if it's not popular.

Those hot-headed war fanatics also strongly supported Zhao Ming's game and were eager to have fun.

But what happens after it becomes popular?
I'm afraid I'll be sent in.
are you crazy? !
Shen Qinghan came back to his senses after a long time, and said through gritted teeth:
"Are you crazy?"

"If you want to die, don't drag me along with you."

She is the second largest shareholder of the company. If something goes wrong with the game, she won't be able to escape if Zhao Ming goes to jail. She will be fine, but she is afraid that her family will be implicated.

There are people from all kinds of positions in the family, what if they really provoke the wrath of the Federation.

If things go wrong, the elders in the family might be implicated. The Shen family also has many political enemies. If the enemies seize political leverage over this, the consequences will be disastrous. This is something Shen Qinghan cannot tolerate:

"No, absolutely not."

"Even if you lose all your money, you are not allowed to participate in the competition."

"The idea of ​​promoting war is too dangerous."

Zhao Ming looked at Shen Qinghan, who was extremely nervous as if facing a great enemy, and felt puzzled.

Isn't it just a game, is it necessary to be like this?
Thinking that he might not have explained it clearly, Zhao Ming said:
"It's not about promoting war, it's about letting players 'experience' war."

Shen Qinghan frowned:
"Is there a difference?"

“The main purpose of ‘The Race Against War’ was to appease the public and rally them against the war.”

"Other gunfight games are all about competitive fighting, but you created a game that allows players to experience war."

"It's unclear how those war fanatics will celebrate."

"If those war fanatics mock the Federation, you will be recorded by the Federation as well."

Zhao Ming looked strange and touched his chin:
"carnival?"

"I guess we can't have a party, right?"

Players are just cannon fodder, where can they go to party?
However, Zhao Ming also understood the difference in communicating with Shen Qinghan. The perspectives were different. Zhao Ming thought about it and explained:

"The game I made may be a little different from what you think."

"According to the thinking of normal people or those war fanatics."

"If the war starts."

"I will command thousands of troops, I will be the lucky one who survives a hundred battles, I will be a hero who kills countless enemies."

"right?"

Shen Qinghan listened and nodded, then said:
"Yes."

"what happened?"

"Any questions?"

Isn't this what war should be like?

A hint of doubt flashed in Shen Qinghan's eyes.

Hearing Shen Qinghan's words, Zhao Ming raised the corners of his mouth and said:
"It's a big problem."

"You think so, and so do others."

"Then here's the problem."

"Who's going to die?"

"It's impossible for everyone to be a general commanding a vast army, a lucky man who survives a hundred battles, or a hero who kills countless enemies."

"These achievements must be highlighted by someone's death."

Blue Star has no history of world wars, and can only have superficial fantasies about war. Even if there are occasional frictions and conflicts on the borders of the six federations, they try their best to suppress them. Under such circumstances, it is impossible to understand the cruelty of war.

"The bullet is very light, only about ten to twenty grams."

“But it’s also heavy.”

"A warhead weighing only a few grams could destroy a child raised by a mother for eighteen years, destroy the pillar of the family, and destroy a happy family of three, leaving the elderly to die young."

"What I want to do is let players experience the cruelty of war."

"And the cruelty of having one's own flesh and blood destroyed by gunfire."

“Only when people understand the cruelty of war can they resist it from the bottom of their hearts.”

“How is this not anti-war?”

After listening to Zhao Ming's words.

Shen Qinghan was shocked. This was an angle he had never imagined.

Games in the past were all based on competition and confrontation. If you died, you would be resurrected, and there was no feeling at all.

If we really follow Zhao Ming's sophistry,

This is indeed an anti-war movement.

Shen Qinghan was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and looked solemn:
"If this is the case."

"That's certainly possible, but will there be enough time?"

"Can it be done in nine days?"

Although this idea is good, according to Shen Qinghan's understanding, no good game can be made in a few days except for shoddy games.

There are only nine days left until the competition starts. Isn’t that enough time?

And actually.

What Zhao Ming lacks now is emotional value. He can directly extract a clip from the movie downloaded from the system, render it into a game and use it on the spot. He doesn’t even need to use much computing power. He just needs to set the gameplay and rules.

Zhao Ming said:
"It should be possible to finish it in nine days. The game CG is almost there."

“It’s just a lack of attention right now.”

"We need to hype up the Emperor Penguin Group copying our game, along with some other things."

“It’s best to get a lot of attention before the game.”

In fact, Zhao Ming mainly wanted to get some emotional value, and he just studied it.

Exchanging for movies and materials like "The Normandy Landing" and "The Battle of Stalingrad" would cost hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of emotion points. The game hasn't been released yet, so where can you get the emotion points?

However, if you just pick out textual material or a certain clip from a movie, not much emotional value is required.

Just to stir up the heat and spark discussion about him.

The emotional value obtained should be enough to redeem.

After hearing Zhao Ming's request, Shen Qinghan said:
"Let me handle the attention."

"I'll get some internet trolls and post it online."

Zhao Ming nodded, thought for a moment, and then said:
"Can you get some reporters over here?"

According to Shen Qinghan's energy, there shouldn't be any big problem.

that's the truth.

However, Shen Qinghan did not agree immediately:

"What do you want reporters for?"

"Do an interview?"

"Just write it directly, there's no need to come over."

Zhao Ming smiled:
"No, it's something else."

"Just to stir up some buzz." "The game alone isn't attractive enough."

Seeing this, Shen Qinghan did not continue to investigate:

"Okay, I'll make arrangements."

"Is there enough money?"

Zhao Ming said:
"There's still more than one million Federation Coins worth of computing power, which is enough for gaming."

Hear the words.

The corner of Shen Qinghan's mouth twitched.
"More than a million?"

“Isn’t that a little too little?”

"Are you sure you can beat Emperor Penguin? Even if they copied it, they still spent 500 million to make the game."

Zhao Ming waved his hand:

"That's all fancy stuff, it's useless."

"What I want is to give players the most realistic experience, and more than one million is more than enough."

"I'll send you the game CG after I finish it."

"If there's no problem, then we'll release it while the hype is building."

Shen Qinghan agreed, and he himself was a decisive person.

After Zhao Ming finished speaking and confirmed that there was no problem, Shen Qinghan left and arranged for the internet trolls and reporters to come over.

After sending Shen Qinghan into the elevator.

Zhao Ming walked back to the company and looked at the many employees in the office, one by one.

Recalling the memories of his original body, Zhao Ming already had some suspected targets of leaking secrets. As Zhao Ming's eyes swept over them, there was no problem with the others, but Hao Wen, who designed the core plot and gameplay of the game, had a somewhat evasive look.

Seeing this, Zhao Ming also confirmed it.

After all, there are not many people in the company, only nine including Zhao Ming himself.

Each person is responsible for a piece.

There were voice actors, modelers, and painters, but Hao Wen was the only one involved in the core mechanics of the game.

Although it can be pieced together from other aspects.

But he is the biggest suspect, and with his evasive gaze, it is obvious who the traitor is.

When I was thinking about it in the office just now, I didn’t feel anything.

But now after seeing this guy, I don’t know whether it was the instinct of my original body, or whether I was cheated out of more than 50 million federal coins.

Zhao Ming's anger was rising rapidly.

Perhaps it has something to do with the original body's resentment.

Zhao Ming wanted to kick this guy to death right now, but he tried his best to suppress his anger. He looked at Xiao Wen at the front desk and said:

"Xiao Wen, there will be reporters coming over soon, so please take them to my office."

"Hao Wen."

"Come to my office."

Xiaowen, the company's front desk clerk, nodded:

"Okay, Mr. Zhao."

Hao Wen was a little nervous. Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, he gritted his teeth and followed Zhao Ming's back into Zhao Ming's office.

Snapped!
The door is closed.

Inside the office.

After Zhao Ming closed the door, he walked to the window and took two deep breaths of the cool breeze blowing in from outside, but the anger in his heart still did not subside at all. He almost owed tens of millions of dollars in debt just after traveling through time, and it was really difficult to calm down.

Zhao Ming turned around and looked at Hao Wen:
"Is my salary low?"

Hao Wen immediately understood what was going on and gritted his teeth.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao, I'm planning to resign."

"The Emperor Penguin Group will pay the penalty and compensation."

This is his bottom line.

The Emperor Penguin will pay him liquidated damages and compensation, and since they have signed a contract, the Emperor Penguin cannot default on its debt.

Done.

Hao Wen wanted to go out and turned to open the door.

Seeing this, Zhao Ming raised his hand and picked up the vase on the table. He rushed to the door in a few steps, looked at the frightened Hao Wen, and raised the vase in his hand.

Click——! ! !
Flying fragments exploded from Hao Wen's head.

Zhao Ming's furious voice rang out:

"I qnmd!"

"You've put me in debt of tens of millions of federal dollars, and you still want to run away?!"

Punches hit Hao Wen's body:

"Liquidated damages? Compensation?"

"Even if I don't want anything else, I'm still going to send you to jail. You're going to spend the rest of your life in a federal prison!"

"rough!!!"

Boom.

The office door shook violently, as if something was kicked against the door, causing a loud noise.

Everyone was frightened.

But I didn't dare to go forward to check.

Not long after.

The two reporters arranged by Shen Qinghan came to the door and explained their purpose.

The company's front desk quickly led the two reporters to Zhao Ming's office and knocked on the door:
"Boss Zhao, the reporter arranged by Boss Shen is here."

Zhao Ming's voice came:
"come in."

The two reporters were shocked when they entered the room.

The room was in a mess and there was a man covered in blood, lying on the ground struggling and rolling around. It seemed that he had been beaten badly. There was also a knife on the ground. Zhao Ming was sitting on the sofa and motioned for the two to sit down.

Since it was arranged by Shen Qinghan, the reporter did not dare to disobey Zhao Ming's order. He walked to the sofa and sat down, looking at Hao Wen lying on the ground groaning in the distance:
"Mr. Zhao, this is..."

Zhao Ming raised his hand and pressed the button on the coffee table. A knife scratch appeared on the back of his hand. He raised two glasses of water and drank them in succession, suppressing his anger a little.

After venting his anger, Zhao Ming felt more relaxed and his thoughts became clearer. He then said:
"This guy is the insider. He was the one who leaked the core of the game."

"He tried to attack me with a knife but I fought back and stopped him."

"It's a pity that I accidentally unplugged the camera while working on my computer today, otherwise I would have video evidence."

"I've called the police."

"You guys used this to make a title like 'Emperor Penguin plagiarized,' 'There was a mole in the game company,' and the boss got furious and beat people up and threatened to send them to jail."

"Create some hype for me and draw as much traffic as possible."

Zhao Ming lied with his eyes open, which made the two reporters stunned.

Looking at Hao Wen who was groaning on the ground and unable to get up, are you sure he attacked you?

How can Nima not think this way?
But this also saved them a lot of trouble, and they could just pick up the computer and start editing.
