Chapter 43: This studio is too diligent_l
Trantor: 549690339
Unlike Fang Cheng, who waspletely baffled, Xiao Douzi and Huang Ping were already deeply engrossed in the game.
For Huang Ping, this was the easiest beta test he had ever participated in.
In past tests, programmers, artists, and nners all had to keep a watchful eye on the process. A massive flood of bugs would swarm in, putting everyone on high alert.
But with “Quiet Cultivation”…
What’s a bug?
They even set up a yer group specifically for bug reports, but so far, not a single piece of feedback hade through.
As unbelievable as it was, Huang Ping had to admit that this game seemed to be bug-free.
Not only was it quickly made, but every feature was perfectly implemented, the gamey was smooth without anyg, it had been running without a bug sinceunch, and the framerate consistently stayed above 120.
Such formidable capability, in any otherpany, would have the CEO kneeling for a couple of knocks, with nners camping out by someone’s door just for the privilege of hitching a ride to work.
Huang Ping didn’t understand why things were this way, but when he thought about it being Fang Cheng’s handiwork, it somehow seemed to make sense.
People who are both handsome and talented just have a way of making even the most preposterous things seem normal.
During a break in the game, Huang Ping stopped to have a sip of tea, then looked at Fang Cheng, who was nearby, frowning in deep thought.
His brow was filled with wisdom, his gaze sparked with the light of stars, and though he didn’t know what the boss was pondering, it surely was something beyond his ownprehension.
After a while, he saw Fang Cheng lookup and ask, “Huang Ping, do you think
it’s fun for yers to fight each other?”
Huang Ping didn<sup>1</sup>1 know why Fang Cheng was asking, but he honestly replied,
“It’s quite fun, yeah.”
“Then do you think, if we stopped yers from fighting each other, could it still be fun? If we had them unite, could that be fun too?”
Hearing this, Huang Ping’s brow furrowed.
What did the boss mean by that?
To earn his wage, and to do justice to this extraordinary game, Huang Ping started racking his brain, thinking hard.
When he was forcibly sent home from the office in the afternoon, he had an epiphany!
The boss wanted to introduce unfairpetition!
The current “Quiet Cultivation” could totally support the conditions for unfairpetition, designating one yer as the ultimate boss with full mastery over the Cultivation Techniques, thus achieving an unfair state.
The other yers would have to join forces to defeat the yer acting as the Heavenly Demon, cooperating to ovee the enemy.
This wasn’t difficult to implement, but it could greatly enhance the game’s yability, offering yers a variety of choices.
And as long as it was properly adjusted, it could allow for a nearly 50% chance of victory, making half of the yers happy each game, and all yers content after two rounds.
True to form of the boss, always prioritizing the yers’ enjoyment above all!
The next day, Huang Ping arrived at the office and immediately drafted a proposal. Xiao Douzi bnced the numbers, and on the third day, it was implemented. By the afternoon, everyone had experienced the new gamey, “The Descent of the Heavenly Demon.”
Four characters corresponded to four types of Heavenly Demons, each possessing unimaginably powerful abilities. The ny-nine other yers needed to work together to defeat the Heavenly Demon.
The incredibly fast update speed astonished the yers.
We haven’t even figured out thest mode, and you’ve already updated?
Such a diligent gamepany, truly lovable.
But we do have a modest request, could you add female characters? No ulterior motives, just seeking bnce between yin and yang, it’s the right path to cultivation after all.
Meanwhile, Fang Cheng believed Huang Ping had understood his intentions, hence the addition of these features. But after everything was implemented, he found yers fighting even more fiercely.
After ying the Heavenly Demon Sword Immortal a few times, Fang Cheng, mowing down the yers like chives with wave after relentless wave, fell into contemtion.
in his original n, whether it was the effects of the Cultivation Technique or changes in the environment, they were all meant to be mere embellishments to meditation.
yers, no matter how they yed, would eventually return to meditation, beginning toprehend the true wonders of it.
But now, it seems that yers have been led astray by external things, losing their true purpose, which in the past could be considered falling into the path of demons.
After much thought, Fang Cheng found Huang Ping and said, “Don’t you think that yers’ destructive power after meditating is too strong, causing them to overlook many things? Should we not restrict the gains from meditation to make yers less powerful?”
Hearing these words, Huang Ping frowned.
What does the boss mean by this?
He started to think again, to meditate on this; he sipped his tea as he gazed into the distance, having abandoned cigarettes, which would interfere with his game development; now his mind was filled only with his boss’s hints. After being forced out of the studio when the clock struck the hour, he had an epiphany as he watched the distant sunset.
I’ve got it!
On the fourth day of work, he rushed to thepany non-stop, drafting ns in the morning, configuring values at noon, and implementing them in the afternoon, rolling out the game one second before closing time.
That very night, all the yers in the test server yed the new version, Miniature Mode.
All yers became very small, and their cultivation techniques caused minimal damage to the environment.
In this mode, the influence of the environment became incredibly intense; yers had to actively dodge Gang Wind, but at the same time, they could use the realistic environment system to perform even more interestingbinations of moves.
The burning effects became more impressive, some carnivorous nts turned into terrifying monsters, and insects with strong vitality in the bushes became another formidable force. In a fairy-tale-like world where death and challenge coexisted, the game took on new changes.
In Miniature Mode, meditation was not as important, and yers were more about using the environment to trap each other, making group fights even more fun.
Two new modes in four days-such a diligentpany is truly lovable.
However, we still have a humble request; when will the female characters arrive? White hair with red eyes is fine, ck long-haired beauty is fine too, we can’t wait to be in by the Heavenly Demon ‘Big Sister’!
Seeing the yers enjoying themselves even more, Fang Cheng was speechless. He pondered all night and then found Huang Ping on the fifth day of testing. “What if we extend the meditation time and enhance its effects, do you think that would be fun? ”
This time, without needing to reflect on it deeply, Huang Ping understood Fang Cheng’s idea and gave him a resolute look.
Don’t worry, boss, I get you.
He started drafting documents, had Xiao Douzi work on the values, produced documents by morning, tested in the afternoon, and updated the new system on the sixth day.
Team mode is out!
Groups of four yers formed teams, with no restrictions on the members races.
In this mode, meditation time was lengthened, and meditating yers could not engage in any activity and became very vulnerable; the other three yers had to use various methods to protect their teammate during this time, waiting for them to emerge and wreak havoc.
At the same time, the battlefield expanded to amodate hundreds of teams fighting simultaneously. The battlefield would shrink rapidly with times’ passing, making meditation a high-risk, high-reward team activity.
Seeing such diligent update speeds, yers were astonished.
Three modes updated in six days, is thispany run by immortals or what? While you’re diligent, we still hope for the addition of female characters. If white hair with red eyes is a problem, how about animal-eared lolitas?
We’re really not just a bunch of old lechers… okay, we are!
Give us female characters now, immediately, right now! Don’t force us to kneel and beg you!
Seeing this response, Fang Cheng was speechless.
Why-
Why do you all enjoy fighting so much?
