Chapter 68 -68 Call Jiao Liang and Wei Chen Over

Wu Mu had been hired as the chief designer at Mingyu Game Company.

However, it was for a TV show and he was only to serve as the chief designer for a day.

Therefore, everybody didn’t truly consider Wu Mu as their company’s top executive.

They thought that after Wu Mu’s successful application, he would just bluff his way through the day.

At most, he would create some trouble for Wei Chen in front of the other employees, putting on airs as the chief designer to spice up the show.

But, less than half an hour after Wu Mu took charge,

he had called the person responsible for the company scripts into the office.

The scriptwriter came in utterly perplexed, clearly not understanding why Wu Mu had summoned him.

Wu Mu looked at him and, without hesitating, pointed at a passage in the company’s backend log on the computer and asked, “Who wrote this script?”

The scriptwriter looked where Wu Mu was pointing—a monologue from the game, “Although it’s exhausting, this is probably what life is like for all living beings.”

He didn’t understand, “What’s wrong with it?”

Wu Mu flatly said, “Change it. This part doesn’t align with the overall direction of the game. Don’t emphasize this aspect anymore.”

Change it?

The scriptwriter immediately frowned.

You’ve just joined our company, and it’s been only half an hour. You’re only experiencing being the chief designer for a day, and now you’re starting to meddle in our serious work.

The scriptwriter felt quite discontent.

He thought this person was messing around. Even a chief designer officially taking office wouldn’t start assigning tasks within half an hour.

In such a short time, have you really understood what we are doing?

Although he acknowledged Wu Mu’s programming skills previously, that didn’t mean he agreed with Wu Mu’s current arrangements.

So many people in their company had been busy for over half a year and never thought there was an issue with this direction. You, a temporary designer, found a problem in just half an hour?

Heh.

The scriptwriter’s previous good impression of Wu Mu had mostly vanished, and he bluntly said, “What’s wrong with it? I think it’s fine.”

Wu Mu sized him up, clicking his tongue and feeling his resistance.

You don’t even want to hear why I asked you to change it and think there’s no issue?

Wu Mu, tired of arguing, said, “If you think there’s no problem then it’s your capability that has issues. Go call Jiao Liang and Wei Chen for me.”

Calling Jiao Liang and Wei Chen over?

Heh, what an attitude.

How long have you been in charge, and you’re already commanding the bosses?

If you were in charge for a few more days, heavens know what would happen.

The scriptwriter’s dissatisfaction with Wu Mu deepened.

The previous favorable impression had completely disappeared, leaving only disgust as he snorted coldly and went out.

Lin Qingyue, who was watching the filming nearby, looked puzzled.

What was Wu Mu doing?

Trying to enhance the show’s effect?

Using a method that interferes with actual work to do so didn’t seem likely to please anyone.

In about a few minutes,

Jiao Liang, Wei Chen, and the previous scriptwriter quickly arrived at Wu Mu’s office altogether.

Wei Chen, who already had a poor impression of Wu Mu, had his brows tightly furrowed, clearly sharing the scriptwriter’s sentiment, thinking Wu Mu was unnecessarily meddling.

Jiao Liang, on the other hand, was more even-tempered, feeling that Wu Mu didn’t seem like someone who would joke about such matters.

Seeing them, Wu Mu didn’t waste time and, still pointing at the same script, said, “This direction is wrong. If your script and marketing continue in this direction, it will definitely backfire.”

Jiao Liang looked at that copy again and again but couldn’t understand what the issue was, “Isn’t the theme of our game ‘All Living Beings’? What’s wrong with the direction of this copy?”

The core of the game developed by Mingyu Game was indeed the various lives and professions of ordinary people, with its selling point being highly realistic and credible job content that mirrors reality, along with an art style close to real life.

Honestly, they had actually done quite well in this regard and had indeed distinguished their game from others.

It had a unique texture.

But…

Wu Mu shook his head, “Using these as the core and selling points is fine, but you can’t actively promote it.”

He explained in detail, “Because this conflicts with your game mechanics. According to the setting in your game, the protagonist is a rural worker who comes to the city with dreams of making it big. There’s no problem with this background, but, unfortunately, in the game, to maintain gameplay and ensure that values don’t increase too quickly—to ensure game duration—you’ve also set a ‘mood value.'”

“This ‘mood value’ requires game characters to engage in various entertainment activities to be satisfied, and it needs to be satisfied very frequently; basically, entertainment activities must be carried out every day to maintain it.”

“This creates what phenomenon? It’s that the protagonist constantly talks about wanting to make it big, wanting to earn money to buy his family a big house, to give his parents a good life, but at the same time, in order to maintain his mood value, he needs to play in the park every day, go to internet cafes, eat well, wear well, live well.”

Wu Mu spread his hands, “Do you feel this setting is conflicting? Will players think the protagonist is being too artificial?”

“If you don’t specifically emphasize this for marketing, everyone might still understand that this is a game mechanism created for gameplay purposes. But if you start promoting that this is the life of the hardworking masses, and the protagonist is just like ‘All Living Beings,’ then it’s definitely over; people will tear you apart.”

After hearing this lengthy explanation from Wu Mu, Jiao Liang was stunned.

Wei Chen, standing next to him, was also stupefied.

A few seconds later, sweat started dripping from their foreheads.

Lost in their own roles, they had always been thinking of how to better highlight their selling points but completely overlooked the huge conflict between the mechanics to increase gameplay time and the game’s core.

They were all veteran gamers, and once Wu Mu pointed it out, they immediately realized that the issues he mentioned were not exaggerations.

It could truly turn out as Wu Mu had described.

No one could empathize with a protagonist who says he’s working hard but complains every day about not eating or sleeping well.

If this blew up, it could completely destroy the core selling point of their game.

If the protagonist’s character couldn’t stand, how could they expect players to immerse themselves in the theme of ‘All Living Beings’?

The more Jiao Liang thought about it, the more he felt this was not a small issue.

His expression became serious.

He looked at the marketing team leader, “Tell everyone to gather in the conference room for a meeting.”

“I’ll call them right now!”

The marketing team leader was already sweating profusely.

He had never dreamed that Wu Mu was not just making random comments.

He really was serious.

In just less than half an hour, had he really spotted such a major flaw in our game?

Was he that capable?

Jiao Liang and Wei Chen also looked at Wu Mu with a hint of astonishment in their eyes.

They had originally only thought of promoting the game by bringing in a one-day chief designer, never really expecting him to be of much use.

But who would have thought, in just this short span of time, he had identified such a significant loophole?

Lin Qingyue, watching the footage being recorded by the photographer, could only sigh internally.

Wu Mu really had many highlights on the show; they didn’t have to worry about it being dull or ineffective.

His impressive actions had become so frequent that she was starting to get a headache over how to allocate his airtime.

Her perception of Wu Mu’s previous saying that if he couldn’t become a star, he’d start a game company, was also changing.

He seemed really capable…

All the employees of Mingyu Game Company quickly gathered in the conference room.

After listening to Jiao Liang explain the situation, everyone inevitably looked at each other.

They had really not noticed this problem before.

If not for Wu Mu pointing it out, they definitely would have been unaware until the issues erupted.
