Chapter 44: Chapter 43 Mr. Chen Tian: Bring in Yao, I'll take her under my wing!

After roughly determining the product, the three of them started a discussion in the hospital room.

Even Mr. Chen Tian from the next bed joined in.

Watching these enthusiastic young people in their twenties discussing their company and product, Mr. Chen felt as if he had returned to twenty years ago.

At that time, he was thirty-seven and, due to the age crisis for programmers, was kicked out of his company.

Although the salary he had saved was enough for a lifetime of necessities, Mr. Chen did not just settle.

Instead, he began to try entrepreneurship, wanting to awaken the second spring of his life.

At thirty-seven, he embarked on his dream and impulsively founded Shengda Network.

Unexpectedly, it grew larger and larger, and successfully went public in less than five years.

With the online game "Hot Legend," he quickly became the leader of the game industry in Modu and even the whole of Huaxia.

Later, he retired due to health reasons and handed over the company to his son, Chen Qiao.

Although the development of the company had slowed down, Shengda Network still remained a giant in the game industry.

Over the past years, although he no longer managed the company, his knowledge in the game industry was still profound.

"Well, if it's just a text-based game, the development difficulty isn't big," he said.

"But games like The Sims are plentiful on various gaming platforms, and there aren't many that can really break out and shine!"

"Following the traditional path definitely won't work, so I suggest incorporating some new elements!"

"For example, a novel-like game, letting players choose their attributes at the start, then the system randomly matches life events, and the game's pace needs to be fast, exhilarating, and coherent!"

Mr. Chen searched and found a novel called "Simulated Cultivation: Dominating the Worlds from Uncle Nine's World."

This book's setting was exactly that the protagonist allocates his attributes at the beginning and then randomly proceeds with the story, which matched Gu Yu's idea perfectly.

Gu Yu took a look at the beginning and found it indeed very interesting; changing it into a game wouldn't be very difficult either.

"Then let's settle on this!"

After returning the phone to Old Mr. Chen, Gu Yu looked towards Boss Pu and Laosi.

He would definitely not doubt Mr. Chen's vision and idea; if this old man wished, he could probably stir the entire Modu game circle with just one sentence!

Boss Pu and Laosi nodded in agreement as well; they also had no objections.

With such a mogul providing guidance, why would they start from scratch on their own?

They needed to appreciate the pragmatism of using readily available solutions!

Thus, Gu Yu and the others finalized the company's first product in the hospital room of the Affiliated Hospital.

"Once you guys make this game, just let me know. Your company has no renown in its startup phase, but you can use Shengda's game platform to carve out a path," Mr. Chen said as he leaned back on his bed.

He was curious to see what sort of waves these young people could create in the game industry!

"Thank you!"

The three of them hurriedly thanked him; with Mr. Chen's word, the initial traffic problems for the product were essentially solved.

Even though Shengda Game Platform had fallen behind over the years, it still retained numerous users.

If they could launch their product on Shengda Game Platform, that would be a good start indeed!

After finishing this topic, the three of them took out their phones to play a few intense and thrilling rounds of Five Kills Glory.

"TIMI!"

Unexpectedly, Old Mr. Chen also took out his phone and requested to join the battle!

"Come, come, come on! Bring me along! I'm in my ranking match to enter King tier, damn, I've been playing back and forth for dozens of matches and just can't advance, this game's matchmaking system is absolutely disgusting!"

Mr. Chen, pointing at his record of two losses and one win followed by another two losses and one win, couldn't help but complain.

The three of them nearly laughed out loud; who could have imagined Mr. Chen, the pioneer of gaming, was still playing Tencent games.

And not just playing, but complaining about the ELO matchmaking system just like the average player.

"From the perspective of game profitability, it's a clever scheme, but from the player's perspective, it's just plain disgusting," he continued.

Old Mr. Chen set up a five-man squad room, and while complaining about the game mechanism, he sent a team link to Gu Yu and the others via Feixin Messaging.

[Five Kills Glory Squad Invitation: 'Seeing Beauties Increases Longevity' invites you to join the team! Opponent's total win rate 63%!]

Seeing the old man's gaming ID, Gu Yu and his friends chuckled heartily.

Indeed, a man remains a man till the end!

"Awesome! Old man is a nobility ten! All heroes, all skins, and nine thousand matches! Season thirteen king! Twenty-three times Five Kills Glory!"

Boss Pu clicked on Chen Tian's game avatar to view the career record and was astonished by the old man's heroic achievements.

Dou Ying doesn't lie, a sixty-year-old grandpa achieving godlike five kills at three in the morning is actually true! Sёarᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Low-key! Low-key!"

Chen Tian, unable to contain his laughter, found the praise from these youngsters for his gaming skills even more satisfying than the flattering he used to get from his subordinates.

"Shall I start it then?"

Mr. Chen verified one more time, and the three others quickly nodded in agreement.

He randomly invited a passerby and matched into the game in fourteen seconds, immediately sending out the message, "Is the first floor a lady? Bring me Yao, and I'll carry!"

Watching this, Gu Yu and the two others frowned, Mr. Chen certainly hadn't lost his youthful spirit!

Indeed, the passerby ID named 'Ying Ying Ying Don't Hit Me' on the first floor actually did pick Yao!

The second floor's Mr. Chen immediately locked in Huang Zhong and then posted his record of 1542 matches with a 72% win rate as Golden Mark Chan'er, which instantly captivated Yao.

Ying Ying Ying Don't Hit Me: "Ying Ying Ying~ How skillful, big brother! You must carry me!"

Seeing beauties could prolong life: "Of course! Brother's a slayer!"

"..."

Watching the two flirt in the game, the hands of Gu Yu and the others trembled as they chose their heroes.

A sixty-year-old big brother! Who can withstand this!

Wonder what Yao would think if she knew the truth!

The game started smoothly, and Mr. Chen's Huang Zhong was truly impressive!

One tower down at three minutes, two at five minutes, high ground by nine minutes, ten minutes...

—Defeat—

The opposing team played a split-push strategy with Liu Chan, Xiang Yu, Milady, Li Yuanfang, and Sun Bin. Their three disruptors directly blasted Qin Shan's mid lane!

Mr. Chen tried to compete with the opponent in tower demolition speed but was just a tad slower.

It was just one second! Their nexus exploded first!

"Damn it! Qin, how did you defend this mid lane! I knew there was a big problem the moment you picked Daji!"

Mr. Chen was furious, with bulging eyes, while Qin Shan awkwardly scratched his head.

"Damn it! Another round, another round! This round I'll show off my Gold Mark Chan'er!"

Qin Shan was energized, thumping his chest to ensure he wouldn't mess up again.

"You said it, kid!"

Mr. Chen looked skeptical but still went ahead with another match.

Just as the matchmaking hit the tenth second, a nurse suddenly rushed into the room in a fluster.

"Doctor Gu! Is Doctor Gu here?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yu realized, with only four people in the room, who else could it be?

He immediately canceled the matchmaking and then stood up.

"What's up? Did you need me for something?"

Seeing Gu Yu stand up, the nurse, as if seeing a savior, quickly grabbed Gu Yu's arm and explained the urgency in a fast pace.

"Doctor Gu! I finally found you! There's a shortage of hands for emergency surgery in cardiothoracic surgery! Director Dai is asking for your immediate support!"

"Me? What surgery do I need to perform?"

Hearing the nurse's request, Gu Yu was completely surprised.

Compared to Gu Yu's surprise, one old and two youngsters in the room were shocked!

"Damn! Laosi, since when did you become a doctor?"

"Doctor Gu? You must be mistaken?"

"..."

"No time to explain! Lives are at stake! Please come with me quickly!"

Seeing Gu Yu still somewhat confused, the nurse was so anxious she was almost dragging Gu Yu away.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Gu Yu didn't dare delay any longer. Without time to respond to Boss Pu's comment, he hurried with the nurse towards the cardiothoracic surgery room.
