Chapter 486: Chapter 165: The SE Press Conference that Won a Round of Applause! What Do You, Top Player, Have to Beat Me? (Laying the Groundwork) _2

Why come to Tengjing, if I can keep receiving my salary for free...

Was my life script supposed to be this smooth sailing?

However, after two or three months, Deng Shuyuan finally realized a problem.

It seemed that... the top executives at Tengjing didn’t seem to be offering any new game planning proposals...

They were waiting for him to come up with an outstanding plan to present to them...

That was awkward.

Just what virtues do I have to single-handedly create a game...

The top player was primarily managed by Mr. Ke alone... What did that have to do with me...

Although Deng Shuyuan did not have grand ideals, he still had his bottom line as a person.

He felt genuinely uneasy about accepting a salary that he did not deserve.

So, Deng Shuyuan also tried to discuss this with Ling Zhetao a few times.

He hinted diplomatically that he genuinely lacked the ability to create a game independently.

If it really doesn’t work out, perhaps Mr. Ling, you could switch me back...

He had thought his honesty would earn him a swift firing.

But who would have thought, ever since he had opened up, Ling Zhetao actually treated him even better, telling him to stay put in the company, no rush, to slowly settle in, and given time, he would surely create a hit.

In three months’ time, not only had his salary increased by 1,500 yuan, but his basic salary had already reached 30,000+, not to mention monthly bonuses and year-end rewards...

This really baffled Deng Shuyuan.

But the good news was.

He had honestly expressed himself, anyway. Whether the other party blamed him was their business, at least he didn’t feel burdened anymore, and the salary felt much sweeter.

Of course.

From Ling Zhetao’s perspective, the whole story was completely different.

Ling Zhetao believed.

This guy, Deng Shuyuan, was hiding something!

Think about it, a university graduate, with so much pressure to find a job, and Jianglin University isn’t particularly high-ranking nationally.

Chosen by the top player and smoothly becoming a manager.

The top player’s performance has been like the sun at high noon over these past few years.

That employee must feel a sense of belonging to the company.

Now suddenly switched to Tengjing, it’s only been three months.

Probably still missing the old employer, not in the working state, perhaps.

Or maybe, he doesn’t recognize Tengjing enough yet, so he’s reluctant to show his true capabilities.

But it doesn’t matter; we at Tengjing have plenty of time.

All of you put together, we don’t pay out 200,000 in wages a month.

Just take our time and grind it out.

Treat him a bit better, and over time he’s bound to be influenced.

Thinking of this, Ling Zhetao couldn’t help but praise his own ability to work with people internally.

If I could rate myself, I would definitely give this move an A!

...

Netcom game.

Jia Kuigan was doing the same as Ling Zhetao.

He called the company’s top executives to watch the conference while working overtime in a small meeting room.

In the blink of an eye, the cooperation with the top player could even be traced back to Eternity six months ago.

Ke Jin stepping in at the last minute gave Netcom a hand.

Eternal Ring was hailed as the current best martial arts game.

Any previous missteps had fallen apart on their own, and the pace of criticism had also gradually died down.

Jia Kuigan was very grateful for this.

Privately, he was naturally very hopeful that the top player would stand out in this handheld console competition.

But publicly... well, his word didn’t count in public; the Netcom game board of directors are known to only look at profits, disregarding personal feelings and relationships.

After asking around for the opinions of his high-ranking executives.

Most of their views were pretty much in line with what Jia Kuigan had anticipated.

Almost no one was optimistic about the top player...

Because to this day, nothing about the Switch’s specifications has been revealed, not to mention the titles that will accompany its launch.

On the other hand, SE kept releasing hints, and the rumors were even claiming that Slover13 possesses a graphics card comparable to the 1660t level and a CPU like the i510400f, which are PC specs.

Such performance, appearing in a handheld console, is nothing short of astonishing...

If it truly becomes a reality, and the players are on board with it.

Whether it’s our company or Tengjing.

We might need to consider collaborating with Silver Brilliance afterward.

After all, a console with such specs can run games with medium to high graphical fidelity like Pubg.

Carrying games like Infinite, which aren’t too demanding on memory and don’t have too much real-time rendering, wouldn’t be a problem either.

Which also means, that carrying a portion of our company’s games would also be possible.

This would be a highly lucrative mobile channel.

"Hang in there, kid," Jia Kuigan couldn’t help but break out in sweat for Ke Jin as he watched the final 5-minute countdown in the SE conference live stream.

Although it felt like a long shot, what if there’s a miracle?

If I had to choose a partner.

I would rather collaborate with the top player!

...

It wasn’t just Tengjing and Netcom; many game companies within Huaxia Nation were, at this time, coincidentally electing to watch the broadcast live.

Previously, no one had the base to do so, Tengjing and Netcom did, but direct confrontations with giant corporations were like Seven Injuries Boxing, so they were not willing to actively make a move against Silver Brilliance.

But now, the top player had done what everyone else dared not do.

This conference was almost a game-changer for the gaming market.

If SE wins, heavy monetization in mobile games prevails.

If the top player wins, the fundamental logic of game design will face a revolutionary overhaul.

Amidst the intertwined emotions of anticipation, whether tension, excitement, or anxiety.

Finally.

The Slover13 new handheld console conference for the new year, hosted by SE, officially commenced!
