50: Chapter 50 Plants vs. Zombies! Activate!
Although from the moment they met until now, Jiang Yuan had always appeared gentle and mild, speaking in a crisp and pleasant voice, and would even take the initiative to show concern and greet them from time to time, without the slightest bit of airs.
Aside from her slightly aloof and cool temperament, she was really no different from a current university student.
In fact, every single one of the ten people present looked more like a successful professional than she did!
However, just because she acted this way didn't mean that everyone actually dared to not take her seriously.
In everyone's estimation, no matter how you looked at it, Jiang Yuan was a young, wealthy, and beautiful woman with a net worth of over a hundred million. She managed a legitimate enterprise with a valuation of at least several hundred million, where she conversed with scholars and elites, and in the company, her word was law—she held absolute authority.
If you were to teach someone like that how to make a game right to their face, even if they had a very good temper, they would probably be angry enough to flick their sleeves and leave, if not curse you out directly, right?
Just as everyone swallowed their saliva, waiting anxiously for a storm to arrive, Jiang Yuan, who they expected would let her exquisite and flawless face turn cold, showed no major change in expression at this moment. It seemed she wasn't angry?
Subsequently, under the gaze of others whose hearts were trembling slightly, Jiang Yuan nodded slightly with a smile in her eyes and said: "That makes sense."
Ye Qing also seemed to be stunned for a moment, not expecting Jiang Yuan to give such an answer.
Perhaps even to him, who was a bit slow, the second question he raised, even though it was clearly well-intentioned, likely had a high probability of making her angry, right?
Jiang Yuan didn't care about the psychological activities of the people around her and continued: "I am indeed still adjusting the values for the current version, and I can try your suggestion after I go back."
"During the next two days of the trial play, everyone can feel free to offer your suggestions to me or our planners regarding this aspect. Regardless of whether they are ultimately adopted, we will definitely follow up."
This was, of course, the truth, not just polite talk.
Although Jiang Yuan did indeed possess all the data regarding the official version of Plants vs. Zombies after the exchange in her mind.
But when she really started production with the company's current thirty-plus people, she couldn't be like an omnipotent deity, directly producing the most suitable and perfect data. She would certainly have to create an initial version, then adjust it two or three times, and then slowly arrive at the best version.
What's more, in this world, it is simply impossible to have a game that is perfect in terms of values, even with the data of those official versions in her mind.
After a brief moment of surprise and daze, Ye Qing immediately said somewhat excitedly: "Don't worry, I will definitely play a few more levels and find more problems with the game."
Jiang Yuan nodded with a smile.
Several people nearby looked at each other, and they could all see the happiness in each other's eyes. Their impression of Spark Games and Jiang Yuan had unknowingly risen to another level.
To tell the truth, from today on, I believe that as long as Spark Games doesn't suffer a major Waterloo or have a significant decline in game quality, then the ten people present will likely become loyal supporters who will buy everything Spark Games releases.
In the time that followed, the atmosphere at the dining table became noticeably more relaxed.
That intangible sense of distance caused by Jiang Yuan being too exquisite and beautiful seemed to have been broken slightly by Ye Qing's few questions.
After dinner, they waved goodbye to Jiang Yuan at the restaurant entrance and watched with their own eyes as a beautiful young woman wearing a T-shirt and jeans drove up in a BMW X5 to pick her up.
The group followed Chen Yu back to the hotel; it was already almost eight o'clock in the evening.
Zhang Qingquan lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling with a faint gaze.
A faint sound of a television came from next door; he didn't know who was watching what program.
Outside the window was the beautiful night view of Xujiahui—brightly lit office buildings and the endless flow of traffic on the wide roads, together creating the bustling Magic City.
He was lost in thought for a while before patting his somewhat bloated stomach and chuckling like a fool, his emotions reaching their peak since arriving in the Magic City.
The reason for this, besides having dinner at the same table with the game developer he currently admired and liked the most, was of course the news Jiang Yuan revealed: slay the spire 2 was not impossible!
To be honest, once Jiang Yuan said those words, even though he knew the time might be very long—not to mention anyone else—Zhang Qingquan was truly so happy he was about to explode!
If he hadn't been at a dinner party surrounded by people, Zhang Qingquan might have jumped up right then and there and performed a set of Kun fist out of sheer joy.
After being happy by himself for a long time, Zhang Qingquan finally turned over, took out his phone, and planned to scroll through videos to see if anything interesting had happened today.
Who knew that when he opened WeChat and looked, the trial play group formed by the person in charge, Chen Yu, after their arrival, had actually become incredibly lively, with 99+ messages.
Liu Sixin: [Can't sleep, my gaming addiction is acting up, I want to play Plants vs. Zombies again. Anyone want to team up? Go back to the office and continue?]
Someone replied: [Let's go! I was just about to say that!]
Ye Qing: [I want to play too.]
Zhang Qingquan looked at these messages and was stunned. Still playing? Is everyone's gaming addiction this severe?
What? I actually want to play too? Then that's fine!
Thinking of this, he immediately lost the motivation to scroll through videos and hurriedly sent a message in the group: "The idea is certainly a good one, but it has to be agreed to by Spark Games. @Chen Yu, Brother Chen, do you think it's okay?"
Not long after the message was sent, Chen Yu replied. Even through the screen, one could see the shock and helplessness in this guy's heart at this moment: "In principle, of course it's not allowed! Everyone wash up and go to sleep early. Get some rest, and it won't be too late to play again tomorrow!"
Seeing this, everyone, including those three girls, started badgering and begging Chen Yu in the group.
Having no other choice after being pestered, Chen Yu replied a moment later: "Then I will ask the principle itself for instructions!"
After about five minutes, in the seemingly incomparably long and boring wait for everyone in the group, Chen Yu: "The principle has agreed! This time I will still lead the team. Gather downstairs. No one is allowed to run around. You must come back to rest by eleven o'clock at the latest!"
"Yes!" With a low roar full of excitement as he clenched his fist, Zhang Qingquan hurriedly climbed up, put on his jacket, pushed the door open, and walked out.
Just as he stepped out, he ran into those three girls while entering the elevator. After looking at each other, everyone smiled happily.
"Brother Zhang is going too?" Zhang Qingquan nodded with a smile. "Can't sleep anyway."
After leaving the hotel, a cold wind hit their faces. The ten people hunched their necks and wrapped their clothes tightly around themselves, following behind Chen Yu toward the office. No one spoke on the way, but from the sound of their footsteps, one could hear the excitement in everyone's hearts, just like when they were kids and finally saved up some money, rushing excitedly to an illegal internet cafe to go online.
Arriving downstairs at the office building, the security guard in the lobby couldn't help but be stunned when he saw them. "Still working overtime at this hour?"
Chen Yu laughed and explained: "It's not overtime, it's playing games."
Hearing this, the security guard couldn't help but show a complex expression that looked like a "I really don't understand you young people" JPG.
The elevator went up to the eighteenth floor. The doors opened, and the corridor was pitch black. Chen Yu used his access card to swipe open the glass door, and the lights all turned on at once.
In the office of over four hundred square meters, rows of neat workstations were arranged, and outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was the gorgeous night view of Caohejing.
Everyone didn't look around or run around, but instead walked into that room specially set up as a temporary play room with great tacit understanding. They couldn't wait to turn on the computers they had played on in the afternoon and began this wonderful and unforgettable journey! Plants vs. Zombies! Launch!
