To ascend, I had no choice but to create games-Chapter 851 - 469: Actually Managed to Do It_2
Moreover, this card game took place in a huge area similar to Duel City, where every resident was a Mahjong expert, aiming to determine who the Mahjong Saint was.
They even came up with the name, "Mahjong Metropolis"!
After devising the game plan, Huang Ping, Xiao Douzi, Leon, and Monkey all felt incredibly fantastic, striking a heroic pose for half an hour wasn’t enough to exhibit their awesomeness!
"We’re so amazing, we’re really so amazing! We actually managed to create such an awesome card game!"
"I also feel pretty great, let’s hurry up and show it to the boss!"
"Our plan is so brilliant, the boss is definitely going to jump up with excitement!"
Seizing their moment of excitement, they immediately sent the plan to Fang Cheng and awaited his reaction.
A few minutes later, Fang Cheng’s reply arrived.
"Have you guys been working overtime?"
"Absolutely, it’s criminal even to ask!"
"You don’t need to come in this week."
Seeing Fang Cheng’s reply, Huang Ping felt his drunkenness fade by half.
Drinking alone isn’t as fun as drinking with company.
But since the plan was sent, he didn’t care much now.
After all, the plan was so impressive in every aspect, the boss was sure to love it!
Lifting his arm in a cry of triumph, he shouted to the other three, "The boss said we don’t have to come in this week!"
"Yay! The boss must have been moved to tears by our plan and decided to reward us!"
"I feel the same, let’s keep drinking!"
"Drink, drink, drink!"
By the time they sobered up, it was already Wednesday.
Rubbing their aching temples and looking at the mess from their revelry, the four slowly realized they might have done something monumental.
Calling someone to clean the house, the four stood outside, after all, this was the only clean spot nearby.
While waiting for the cleaners, Huang Ping opened the game plan they had sent to Fang Cheng, and the more he read, the worse his headache got.
The others also looked at the document on their phones, each face more expressive than the last. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
"This thing was definitely written while we were drunk."
"It feels like a dark hot pot, where we threw everything from the kitchen and bathroom into it."
"No way, after reading what we wrote, why do I feel like throwing up?"
"How many things did we even mash into this..."
"Ladies and gentlemen, it has been great knowing you, though not for long, but I feel like we can start running away now."
"This is my first time being fired because I wrote a lousy game plan."
At this moment, feeling like mourners, they were contemplating whether to crawl all the way to the studio to try to regain Fang Cheng’s trust.
Worse still, they were still officially on vacation, and Fang Cheng completely ignored anything related to vacation.
Meaning, they didn’t even have a chance to explain.
So they anxiously waited until the next week, agreed to meet at the studio entrance, but none had the guts to enter.
Finally, seeing Xu Qingling come out, they whispered, "Miss Xu..."
"What are you doing at the door?" Xu Qingling asked puzzledly, "Is this some new planning culture?"
"No, I was wondering, how is the boss doing today?"
"He looks great."
"We’re not asking about the usual, I just want to know if there was anything different about him today?"
"Um...the three thousand one hundred and eleventh hair on the left looks a bit unnatural."
Huang Ping fell silent for a moment, feeling he must brace himself.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at Xu Qingling and said, "What I meant to ask was, has the boss been angry or unhappy these past few days?"
"Not at all, I feel that even if it were the end of the world, even if the universe were destroyed, the boss wouldn’t show any special emotion."
Xiao Douzi pulled Huang Ping to the side and said straightforwardly, "Stop beating around the bush. Did the boss have you post a recruitment notice?"
"Not at all. But are you guys thinking of resigning?" Xu Qingling asked curiously. "Is it the salary that you’re unhappy with? Speaking of which, it’s also time for a raise."
Xu Qingling’s reaction left the four strategists puzzled.
Could it be that their plan was actually good?
Upon reflection, they quickly dismissed that idea.
After all, anyone who had played a few games would recognize that the plan was very familiar and nothing impressive.
However, it wasn’t completely useless; for example, it could serve as a cautionary example for other strategists.
Finding no useful information, the four strategists walked hand-in-hand, shoulder-to-shoulder, into the office, only to discover Fang Cheng already sitting there waiting for them.
Seeing the four, Fang Cheng greeted them as usual and handed a USB drive to Huang Ping.
"I’ve looked at your plan. Although it differs from my ideas, I think it’s quite interesting. Anthropomorphizing mahjong is a good attempt, and the anime-style girls have received Xu Qingling’s praise."
Hearing her name, Xu Qingling turned to their side and gave a "yeah" sign, then flashed a heart-stopping smile.
Taking the USB drive, Huang Ping’s expression grew even more fantastic.
"Boss, have you already created the game?" Huang Ping asked cautiously.
"Yes, I had some scrap materials, so it was convenient to prepare. The only tricky part was the anime transformation, but luckily, I got some inspiration. That is to put players in a state of contamination so that they see everything in anime style. It’s a bit difficult to standardize what all players see, but it’s a nice upgrade. Also, how to control the contamination is an issue, but it’s solvable. And, remember to collect your overtime pay."
Fang Cheng’s words were completely baffling to Huang Ping; he could only think of it as a peculiar way that geniuses speak.
The only thing that made sense was that Fang Cheng had really produced the game.
He had created their utterly chaotic plan that none of them could even understand themselves.
Holding the USB, Huang Ping felt his head was still foggy, like he was sleepwalking.
Perhaps this was a warning from the boss, showing them a termination notice once they ran the game.
The four looked at each other, none daring to open it.
Until Xiao Douzi couldn’t resist, being the first to open the game, immediately attracting three curious onlookers behing his screen.
The game’s intro was very normal, the character customization extremely normal, the city that appeared very normal, and the game’s anime art style also extraordinarily normal.
If one ignored the game’s bizarre core, the external performance was very eye-catching. NPCs moved in an orderly manner on the streets, various buildings and vehicles were all present, and they all possessed a strong anime style.
However, being too normal was abnormal.
Thinking that this game was created from their joke of a plan, Huang Ping and the others found it absolutely ridiculous; they even forgot to ask how Fang Cheng could have developed it so quickly.
This isn’t scientific at all!
Later, Fang Cheng came over and spoke to the stunned group, "I really like your idea of combining card playing with traditional board games. However, you only wrote about mahjong, so that’s all I developed. But adding other features later on is easy, anytime I can. As for the risque part..."
"It’s fine if it can’t pass the review," Huang Ping quickly interjected.
"No, I mean, Mr. Shen said it wasn’t risque enough. After all, Mahjong is already 18+, so adding a bit more risque content shouldn’t be a problem. By the way, this was also Xu Qingling’s opinion."
Hearing her name, Xu Qingling shyly waved her hand and smiled awkwardly.
Fang Cheng acknowledged her and then added, "I’ve already let the review team try it out. They were very interested and gave some feedback. Some of which I think is quite good, and some can be ignored. I asked them to compile these comments for your reference."
Looking at the Mahjong Metropolis that Fang Cheng had created, then at the feedback he provided, Huang Ping felt that his boss’ stature was infinitely elevated in his eyes.
Boss, you really are the God of Games.
