I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 134 Broken (46)

Zheng Che's voice is also the voice of others.

Having learned of Zheng Che's thoughts, Zhang Yun nodded, gesturing for him to sit down.

His idea coincided with Zhang Yun's own, which was that Daoist charm did not play a significant role in this competition.

Now, many dream architects have fallen into a very strange situation, which is that they no longer compete on how fun the dream is, but on whether it has a strong Taoist charm.

New dream architects still have some innovative impulses and ideas, but the older generation of dream architects have fallen into the point where they must accumulate a large amount of Taoist rhyme in their dreams, otherwise they cannot create dreams.

This is one of the reasons why many Star Lords like to let high school students dream and absorb the Dao. After all, Star Lords don't lack Dao essence; what they lack are better dream mechanics and gameplay, rather than meaningless accumulation of Dao essence.

Dreams have to be fun, right?

Sun Lei is already one of the few dream makers among the first-level dream makers who pays attention to gameplay, but he alone cannot fight against the increasingly distorted dream maker market, which is why he values ​​Chen Yu so much.

There's nothing wrong with the Daoist principles, but frantically accumulating them is a wrong path.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yun also gave up the idea of ​​continuing to pile up Daoist rhymes.

As the effects of the injection gradually wore off, the urge to give myself a booster shot intensified.

However, he had strengthened himself a bit too many times today, and if he continued like this, he would easily become dependent on it. So Zhang Yun relied on his Dao Heart to suppress this impulse and continued to think about how to deal with it.

Just when everyone was at a loss, a female intern in the corner raised her hand and said timidly, "Manager Zhang, how about we imitate the gameplay of 'The Records of Mountains and Seas'?"

“How is that possible?” another intern immediately retorted sarcastically. “The gameplay of ‘Shan Hai Jian Wen Lu’ is too unique. If we imitate it, we’ll be recognized immediately. How can you be sure that our imitation can surpass the other side? Are you stupid?”

Staring at the sarcastic intern, Zhang Yun said coldly, "You, deduct five points."

"……Why!"

“We are a team, and everyone can speak out, and we must ensure that our voices are not disturbed. I can accept constructive criticism, but sarcasm and personal attacks are absolutely unacceptable.”

"……Feel sorry."

After criticizing the other person, Zhang Yun looked at the female intern and asked, "What's your name?"

"Jiang Qiao".

"Okay, Jiang Qiao, continue."

Encouraged by her supervisor, Jiang Qiao mustered her courage and continued, "There are many ways to imitate. We can't directly copy the gameplay of 'Shan Hai Jian Wen Lu,' but we can pay homage in another way. 'Shan Hai Jian Wen Lu' is a dream world that combines exploration and construction; it's outward-looking. No matter what the player does, it will encourage the player to explore outward."

"External display devices too?" an intern asked, raising his hand.

“That’s true.” Jiang Qiao nodded affirmatively. “It’s prompting everyone to move outwards, and I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but its ultimate goal is to get people to Tianyuan.”

"Doesn't Tianyuan have area locks? Why create a target that people can't reach?"

"That's what makes Chenguang so remarkable. While we were trying to figure out what was so fun about him, he had already set his sights on something much more distant. For every person who yearns for Tianyuan, there is another who hopes to unlock the regional lock. This desire will be noticed by the Star Lord, and fulfilling that desire is also one of the important ways for the Star Lord to gain power."

After a moment of silence, someone slowly spoke up: "You mean, Chenguang is plotting to have the Star Lord rescue Tianyuan from his predicament? How dare he! This is disrespectful!"

"Failure is disrespectful, success is cunning. Besides, he didn't reveal his intentions, so who can condemn him?"

Zhang Yun gave Jiang Qiao a deep look and memorized her name.

The other party's analysis coincided with his and Xu Zilong's analysis, which shows that the other party is also a smart person.

Bringing the conversation back on track, Zhang Yun asked, "So how do you think we should imitate them?" "If they're outward-looking, then we'll look inward. If they're out hunting monsters, then we'll wait for monsters to come to us. If they're going out to find a leader to fight, then we'll make the leader come to us."

"Base defense?" an intern couldn't help but ask.

“That’s right, it’s base defense, but with a very high degree of freedom, and you can hire monsters to defend your base,” Jiang Qiao said with certainty. “Gather resources, build bases, and turn the original outward exploration into inward exploration. Through natural disasters and leaders, players will be prompted to build their own bases. The main theme of ‘Shan Hai Jian Wen Lu’ is lighthearted, so we will introduce appropriate pressure and use the pressure of survival to make players immerse themselves in the dream world.”

After explaining her thoughts, Jiang Qiao looked at Zhang Yun nervously.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Yun stared at Jiang Qiao and asked, "This isn't the first time you've played 'The Record of Mountains and Seas' today, is it?"

Jiang Qiao's expression changed, and her face turned deathly pale.

It was discovered!

The company's articles of association do not stipulate that it is forbidden to play with other people's dreams, but everyone knows about the existence of trade locks. Playing with other people's dreams is tantamount to aiding the enemy.

Swallowing hard, Jiang Qiao said in a low voice, "Yes, I've played it before."

"How long?"

“I have a friend who works in Sangmu. He gave me a copy as soon as he came out of the factory.”

"Good friend. No wonder you can say so much, you must have thought of a lot of things beforehand."

"Yes……"

"Don't be nervous, I don't mind this behavior. And I agree with what you said, so let's leave it at that. From today onwards, you are the lead planner. Report any problems to me. Does anyone else have any opinions? If you have any better ideas for the gameplay, please suggest them, and we'll continue the discussion."

Jiang Qiao, who had prepared herself for being laid off, breathed a sigh of relief and felt like she had come back to life.

She sat down excitedly, her legs still trembling, unable to believe what had just happened was real.

Not only was she not fired, but she was also given the position of chief planner, which meant that her chances of becoming a permanent employee were much greater.

Just as she was getting excited, the colleague who had just mocked her carefully handed her her meal card and gestured with her eyes that she could use it however she wanted as an apology.

Jiang Qiao shook her head slightly, returned the meal card, and indicated that everything was fine.

She is now the lead planner.

She wanted to emulate the sages of the past, learn from Zhang Yun, and become a magnanimous chief strategist.

Generously, she said there was no problem. She felt full of fighting spirit and couldn't wait to start assisting Zhang Yun, bringing the dream to life, and helping him reach the pinnacle of life.

With Jiang Qiao as a precedent, more ideas were put forward.

A good example can be very motivating, and the interns on site were clearly inspired and began to excitedly express their opinions.

Various opinions were gathered, and in the end, Jiang Qiao's idea won with an overwhelming advantage.

Base construction becomes the main gameplay element, the demand for illusionary resources is issued, and points begin to be consumed.

With the points system in place, the studio began to mobilize the Xu Group's resources to launch their counterattack.

Meanwhile, in Sangmu City, Wang Ma looked at the dilapidated state of affairs in front of him and felt somewhat troubled.

His Trapper III is broken.
