Chapter 214: Chapter 94: Let me enjoy first!_1

"It’s released?"

"Did they just freaking launch it?"

"No, seriously, how can this guy make games like this?"

"It takes us seven days just to discuss a proposal, and he’s straight up brought the game itself to market?"

"Bear in mind that he must have at least coordinated with the regulatory bureau before launching, since it’s a joint venture. Meaning he actually finished it by day six."

"What???"

Midday on the seventh day.

The top player announced on the official website the release of "Stardew Valley".

It directly caused an earthquake within the gaming industry!

Creating a game in seven days.

Unless the proposal was very detailed, there might be a slim chance.

But the theme of helping farmers had only been agreed upon seven days prior.

Which means.

This guy’s imagination is so wild that as soon as the bureau mentioned the theme of the collaboration,

he already had a corresponding idea in mind, and not only was the setting detailed and refined, but the gameplay was also logically coherent and formed a closed loop?

Holy crap! Are you freaking hacking?

Or is it... you’ve just never turned it off?

"This dude must’ve done it in a slipshod manner," some peers simply couldn’t believe it.

They’d sooner believe they were Emperor Qin Shi than believe he could make a quality game in seven days.

"But if it was done haphazardly, the regulatory bureau wouldn’t approve it, right?"

"Desperate situations call for desperate measures. If not his, whose will they approve?"

"Hmm, makes sense..."

"I really want to see what trash this guy could possibly have concocted in seven days, and it’s a brand new farming game at that."

"The odds of it being crap are high, yeah."

"Hahaha! Crap would be great! It’s been a year! Do you know what I’ve been through this past year? Every single day, my boss compares me to Designer Ke and tells me to learn from him. I freaking can’t take it anymore!"

"Heh, I’m ready to thoroughly mock him!"

...

"None of you are allowed to laugh!" Facing the crowd in the conference room trying to suppress their giggles, Bao Jingbi pulled out a small comb from his upper pocket, and while facing his phone’s selfie camera, he combed his bristly hair smooth.

An urgent matter had arisen.

This morning, he had been in a daze, consumed by a nightmare.

In the bizarre dream, Tengjing had an internal ceremony for the best designer of the year, and he assumed he would easily take the prize.

Yet somehow, Ke Jin had become a Tengjing employee out of the blue,

literally holding the trophy on the highest winner’s podium.

Bao Jingbi consoled himself that second place wasn’t too bad.

But upon looking around,

the second-place podium was also occupied by Ke Jin!

Looking yet again, the person standing on the third podium was still Ke Jin!

What the hell?

Three Ke Jins?

Bao Jingbi turned his head and saw that even the high-level official presenting the award had turned into Ke Jin!

He retreated in panic and alarm, the sound of clapping from the employees filling his ears.

As he looked around in confusion, he realized that all the employees watching the ceremony,

were all Ke Jin!!

"Ahhh!!! What the f***! What the f***!" Bao Jingbi woke up shocked.

Only to find it was just a dream.

He sighed a breath of relief.

Only to be bombarded with a life-threatening call from Tengjing’s high-level executives.

"Top Player has released a new game, you’re in charge of analyzing it."

My fiery steed!

Analyze? Rhizome!

I rhizome your steed! Do you hear me? I rhizome your steed!!!

"Alright, I’m heading to the company right now."

Despite internally cursing out the damn higher-ups, Bao Jingbi still managed to squeeze out a hint of jovial tone and agreed to the task.

During the last analysis of "Hollow", the higher-ups tasked him with the follow-up. He thought the work was doomed to fail and didn’t even play the game, just slapped together some analysis and submitted it.

But who knew...

"Hollow" blew up shortly after launch, becoming a massive hit and even sparking social debate!

Though its unique pricing model meant it didn’t sell as well as imagined, it still caught the attention of Tengjing’s executives.

And Bao Jingbi got an earful for it.

They let him off, remembering the previous contributions he made to the company, making a note of the incident, but not punishing him.

If it happened again, though, it wouldn’t be a small matter.

If you look at the big picture, neglect of duty leading to substantial invisible losses for the company, by the reputation of Winner as unbeatable, it would be only a matter of minutes before they could send him to slam on sewing machines in jail.

This time, however displeased he was inside, Bao Jingbi dared not take the words from above lightly again.

He got up and hurried to the company, not even having time to tidy himself up.

As a result, when he gathered a research team for a meeting, his disheveled hair almost made the employees lose their composure.

After scolding them, he picked up the comb to sort out his hair.

Then Bao Jingbi said it seriously.

"No laughing now, today we’re going to play and analyze Top Player’s newly released farming game, ’Stardew Valley’."

While speaking, he pulled up a chair, positioned his laptop, and clicked to download the game from the official website.

The employees also keenly watched the large screen through the conference room’s projector, all wondering about the presentation style of the farming concept.

Soon after the installation had finished, he quickly clicked to create a new game.

Bao Jingbi’s gaze was glued to the screen, searching for any slight imperfection.

Last time he hadn’t played the game and submitted a hasty analysis that got him scolded.

This time after I play it attentively, I will carefully critique any shortcomings of this game.
