986 The Correct Posture To Trick Lin Wan

April 16th, Monday…

"Finally done!"

Qiao Liang rubbed his dark circles and stretched.

The computer screen in front of him displayed the words that the new Products of the Gods had been successfully uploaded and approved. That made him feel relieved.

Qiao Liang was suddenly filled with inspiration after completing Mission and Choice on Saturday. He spent a day working hard on Sunday to edit the video.

He woke up and worked hard for a few hours in the morning after sleeping for four to five hours. The video was finally completed in the afternoon!

Qiao Liang was very satisfied with this video.

Qiao Liang had suffered some setbacks and almost had a hard time producing the video when he was analyzing Struggle previously. In the end, it was Big Boss He An's long Weibo post that analyzed the game from the perspective of a designer. Qiao Liang finally understood.

Qiao Liang learned his lesson after that.

He gradually realized that Boss Pei's level was getting higher and higher and the concept of game design was improving by leaps and bounds. As a gamer, his understanding of the game was gradually distancing from Boss Pei's. The gap was gradually widening.

At this rate, there would be a day when Boss Pei would create a classic game that would go down in history, but Teacher Qiao would not be able to interpret it.

Qiao Liang would not allow that to happen!

Thus, in order to catch up to Boss Pei's ever-changing understanding of games, Qiao Liang spent a lot of time learning some professional gaming design knowledge. He watched various game media outlets and professional game designers analyze and evaluate classic games.

His efforts had finally paid off.

Qiao Liang noticed that even though many gamers were bragging about Mission and Choice online, most of them did not hit the nail on the head.

Mission and Choice might be popular, but it was not popular enough. It had not completely broken out of the circle!

Time was a very important factor.

Mission and Choice did not have any early publicity after all. It would naturally spread just based on its popularity. In just two or three days, its popularity would be limited.

Thus, Qiao Liang felt that he should systematically, completely and comprehensively boast about this video so that gamers would understand the historical significance of this game!

Only when gamers understood this point would they be able to face the true value of the game. Those who were still hesitating and observing would not hesitate to pay for it!

…

At that moment…

Pei Qian had just arrived at Shang Yang Games. He was prepared to bluff Lin Wan so that he could quickly put the establishment of Shenhua's games department on the agenda.

There were at least two benefits to establishing this department for Pei Qian. First, he could arrange for Lin Wan to leave. Second, he could be more lenient in spending money.

Shenhua's gaming department had just been established, so the chances of failure would definitely be higher. What's more, the restrictions that the system placed on Tengda Corporation's own projects and the projects that Tengda Corporation was investing in were different.

For example, the games developed by Tengda Games would be restricted by the system. On the other hand, there would be much fewer restrictions on the games developed in the incubation base of the Destitution Plan. There would be even fewer restrictions on other companies that invested in Dream Realization Ventures.

At that moment, Shang Yang Games' office was filled with a busy and passionate atmosphere.

"There seems to be a little bug in this place. Hurry up and repair it."

"The character of this mature sister character still feels a little stiff. Should I change it slightly?"

"There seems to be something. Perhaps it's mainly because of the dubbing. Let the dubbers redo the lines."

Shang Yang Games' research and development of 'Fitness Battle' was also coming to an end. They had begun testing, modifying the bugs, and the final adjustment phase.

The success of 'Mission and Choice' undoubtedly gave Shang Yang Games a boost of motivation. They were all filled with motivation.

Tengda Corporation only had two biological sons in the gaming department after all. One son was about to take off, how could the other son be willing to be behind others?

Pei Qian saw this and felt pain in his heart.

How did Shang Yang Games become like this?!

Obviously, as the person-in-charge of Shang Yang Games, Lin Wan had the highest responsibility.

At that thought, Pei Qian walked to Lin Wan's office and knocked lightly.

"Boss Pei?" Lin Wan was a little surprised. "Please take a seat."

She poured some tea and asked, "Why is Boss Pei here today? Shouldn't you be watching Mission and Choice at Tengda Games?"

"Or could it be that you feel that the matter with Mission and Choice is completely settled and that there are no more problems, so you want to come and see how the fitness battle is going?"

Pei Qian sipped his tea silently, chuckling inwardly.

Lin Wan was completely wrong.

'Mission and Choice' was not completely settled; it was completely hopeless. That was why it had come to Shang Yang Games!

What's more, Fitness Battle was not the main point. Pei Qian did not pay attention to this project at all.

What ripples could a fitness game cause? Could it compare to a project like Mission and Choice?

How much could he earn if he let him earn freely?

Pei Qian was now focused on the future development of Shang Yang Games!

He pondered for a moment and said, "You have been in charge of Shang Yang Games for a long time. How do you feel?"

Lin Wan pondered for a moment. "Very good! I feel that my ability has improved steadily while I was in charge of Shang Yang Games. I have also learnt many game design theories. I can say that I have benefited a lot!"

"However… I'm still lacking."

"I can't catch up to games like Struggle and Mission and Choice no matter how hard I try. Therefore, I have to continue learning!"

Pei Qian was silent.

Indeed, Lin Wan's attitude remained the same.

However, if you think that way, it would be too difficult for me!

Struggle and Mission and Choice actually did not have any profound game design theories at all. Their birth was an accident. In fact, your game design theory has long surpassed mine. I beg you to leave quickly and make me lose money!

However, Pei Qian could not say that out loud.

Pei Qian could not say 'you're outstanding enough' to Lin Wan now. That was because Lin Wan firmly believed that she was still far from it. If Pei Qian said something like that, it would trigger the protection mechanism in Lin Wan's heart. That would make her suspect if Lin Chang was the one pulling the strings. That would cause the situation to spiral out of control.

Pei Qian had to send Lin Wan away safely without triggering the protection mechanism in her heart.

He had already thought of an excuse very cleverly. Based on his understanding of Lin Wan, the success rate of this excuse was very high.

"Yes, indeed."

"Your game design skills might have improved, but you're still a distance away from becoming the best game designer.

Pei Qian first expressed his agreement with Lin Wan on the surface. That way, he would be able to eliminate her wariness and pave the way for what he would say next.

Lin Wan's eyes lit up as she asked, "Boss Pei, what should I do next to improve myself?"

After a moment of silence, Pei Qian said, "I think you should leave your comfort zone."

Lin Wan was stunned. "Leave my comfort zone?"

Pei Qian nodded. "Yes, Shang Yang Games is your comfort zone."

"There are three necessary aspects to become a top game designer."

"First, bold and imaginative thinking and foresight.

"Second, lead the team's management and control."

"Third, adaptability to unfamiliar environments.

"Thoughts and foresight are relatively mysterious things. You have already taken shape. If you want to improve further, you can only rely on yourself to enlighten. No one can teach you step by step."

"The key is the last two points."

"An outstanding game designer is never one to fight alone. You must have a very strong team supporting you from behind. You must ensure that every employee in the team can understand your intentions and act as an extension of your thoughts, turning these intentions into fine rules in the game."

"For an outstanding game designer, the environment they are in is definitely not the same. They cannot be considered an outstanding game designer if they are very good in one environment but achieve nothing in another."

Pei Qian's expression was very serious as he spoke. It gave people the feeling that he had seen through everything.

In fact, this was all nonsense. It was to pave the way for his next words.

However, it sounded reasonable to say that it was nonsense. That would be enough to confuse Lin Wan.

Lin Wan looked like she was deep in thought, but her expression was mixed with confusion.

"However, Boss Pei, I have a good team in Shang Yang Games. Wang Xiaobin and Ye Zhizhou have helped me a lot. We have the same idea."

"As for adapting to unfamiliar environments… Shang Yang Games has developed different types of games. Isn't that enough to prove that we can adapt to unfamiliar market environments?"

Pei Qian immediately shook his head. "No."

"This is what I meant before: You have to walk out of your comfort zone!"

"Why is Shang Yang Games your comfort zone?"

"That's because Wang Xiaobin, Ye Zhizhou, and the other low-level employees had actually worked together for a long time before you arrived. After I bought over Shang Yang Games, I made a series of adjustments to the human resources structure. The entire structure of Shang Yang Games was already set.

"You accepted a very mature team from the beginning. Of course, you followed orders and did everything very smoothly."

"However, an outstanding production team obviously needs to be personally created by an outstanding producer."

"It's the same for adapting to unfamiliar environments.

"Your adaptability has actually been greatly improved in Shang Yang Games, a mature team. The general direction of the game has been decided long ago. The details can be finalized after everyone's discussion. When the game was released, it was automatically equipped with the 'Tengda Halo'. Players had their own filter in their eyes… That greatly improved their adaptability."

"However, in reality, this adaptability does not belong to you. It belongs to the entire Shang Yang Games and even Tengda Corporation.

"If you are only satisfied with your current state at this moment, of course you can continue like this. However, the problem is, are you really only satisfied with this?"

Lin Wan immediately said, "Of course not!
