Chapter 1454 - I, Yu Fei, Am Actually Talented?

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“In other words, if we want to make the two games, Eternal Reincarnation and Ghost General 2, we have to put the plot at a very high position. The plot designer has to have more say than other designers. Therefore, the chief designer of this project has to be Yu Fei.”

“Someone might want to ask Yu Fei to be a plot designer, but can’t we give him the highest say?”

“No.”

“A plot designer is a plot designer. Yu Fei is in the position of plot designer. He will not think about problems that only the chief designer needs to think about. Then, the plot that he designed will still be a skin plot. It will not be able to stimulate his potential.”

“Someone else might ask, can’t we let other outstanding chief designers lead this project?”

“My answer is still: No.”

“That doesn’t mean that Tengda does not have outstanding game design talents. On the contrary, Tengda’s outstanding game design talents are completely overkill compared to other games companies. However, the problem is that some abilities are innate. No matter how much resources we spend the day after tomorrow, we will not be able to nurture them.”

“No matter how outstanding a game designer is, he is only good at what he is good at.”

“As long as we spend enough money and give enough resources, would we be able to create an outstanding director, author, and comic artist? Obviously not. This thing has to be talented. There is only a possibility of nurturing it in the future.”

“There are very few talents like Boss Pei in this world after all. Most people are severely talented.”

“Therefore, if you want to diversify the game and complete different development tasks, you have to let different people be in charge of different projects to achieve the ultimate!”

“Boss Pei made an exception to promote Yu Fei as the chief designer because his talent is very compatible with the game characteristics that Tengda is going to develop. Therefore, I say that this is Boss Pei’s performance of being kind.”

“I hope that the keyboard warriors on the internet would give less pointers if they don’t understand. You think Yu Fei is not important in the project team. He is just a plot writer. Do you know more than Boss Pei? Why does Boss Pei keep asking someone to write a plot? Is he bored? There are only two reasons. First, the plot is very important. Second, not everyone can write this plot!”

“If there was a better choice, why didn’t Boss Pei choose someone else? Since when did Tengda become a place that talks about favors?”

“Obviously, it’s because Yu Fei is indeed very talented in game plot design. Boss Pei saw this talent and felt that it would be a pity to waste it. That’s why he repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay. He hoped that he could achieve something in game design and walk a different path from Tengda’s previous chief designers.”

“Therefore, I hope Yu Fei does not belittle himself. You cannot only look at the sales volume of Ghost General 2 when you evaluate it. It is more meaningful in other aspects. Your role in this game is not dispensable, but irreplaceable!”

…

After reading He An’s long Weibo post, Yu Fei quietly deleted the second Weibo post that he had edited previously.

No way!

If Teacher Qiao’s previous video had only made him secretly happy, then Old He’s Weibo post could be said to have enlightened him. It had enlightened him and cleared his long-standing confusion.

He did not have any special abilities. Why did Boss Pei try to persuade him to stay over and over again?

Now, he understood. He was quite talented and important! Boss Pei could not find a more suitable candidate indeed. That was why he kept asking him to stay!

He had to say that Boss Pei was indeed the best game designer now. His vision was indeed very sharp.

He An was indeed a veteran in the industry. He could see through problems so clearly. He was completely incomparable to the keyboard warriors who gave directions online!

Since that was the case, there was nothing else to say.

I’m not leaving yet!

If he left now, he would not only let down the expectations of the players, but he would also let down Boss Pei’s nurturing.

Yu Fei preferred to write novels compared to designing games. However, he thought about it carefully. There were so many outstanding authors on Zhongdian Chinese Network. However, he was the only author that Boss Pei chose and made the designer!

Yu Fei felt that his talent in online literature was not bad. He was considered above average. However, from the looks of it, his ability in game plot design was definitely top-notch!

Obviously, he could not waste this talent casually.

Yu Fei no longer hesitated and posted another Weibo post.

“Thank you everyone, I have decided to continue working in Tengda Games. I’ve read everyone’s messages, and I’m very touched. I will definitely create more outstanding games in the future to give back to everyone!”

…

At the same time, Pei Qian was in his office, watching Teacher Qiao’s video while trembling in anger.

“What the f*ck…”

This Teacher Qiao was hopeless, completely hopeless!

How many days had he been back from Suffering Travels? He had created trouble by posting a video again!

Pei Qian counted with his fingers. This video might have been planned from the first day of the torturous trip. It would be released today!

Strictly speaking, this video should have been released before he flew over to Pei Qian.

If Pei Qian had seen it earlier, he might have agreed to Yu Fei’s request!

However, at that time, he had been racking his brains in his office thinking about the thesis. He had not been surfing Aili Island’s website. Naturally, he had not noticed Teacher Qiao’s update.

Wasn’t Ghost General 2 released two days late? It was caught by Teacher Qiao again!

It looked like he had miscalculated. He had not done a good job of controlling time. This Suffering Travels and the new game were not very cooperative.

After watching this video, Pei Qian suddenly suspected that he had made the right choice to persuade Yu Fei to stay.

He would keep it. According to everyone, Yu Fei indeed had a set in plot design.

If he did not keep him, who could guarantee that he would be able to transfer someone from the games department to be the chief designer? What if he earned more?

At the very least, Ghost General 2 was still very famous and had average sales. What if the new game sales exploded after the chief designer was released?

That was a difficult decision.

“Forget it, let’s think about it after the new year. It’s useless to rush this. We have to think about it at length.”

“You cannot make a bigger mistake in order to remedy a mistake in a moment of impulse!”

It was almost the new year.

It was almost the new year and the company was on holiday. There was no point in continuing to worry about work over the last two days. He might as well quickly come up with some ideas for the thesis.

…

February 7th, Thursday night…

Bunny Tail Live-Stream, Zhang Yan’s live-stream.

After two weeks of hard training, Zhang Yan finally achieved the standard results in the tug-of-war!

There might still be a gap compared to the outstanding racing drivers but this was a huge improvement for Zhang Yan.

Of course, the expenses were huge if they kept running on the racing track. Zhang Yan might have been driving carefully but she still accidentally scratched herself a few times in the process. Coupled with the tires and various normal expenses, the repair fee was still very considerable.

If not for the fact that she had saved up a lot from traveling for a long time, she would not have been able to afford this.

He had already spent so much money carefully, much less those who were careless and drove around.

Every once in a while, people would post about their car accidents online. Some would collide in the city, some would collide during the long distance drive, and some would collide during the tug-of-war and venue competition. In any case, the results of the collisions were varied.

Some people were furious and scolded the Development Team. Some were very calm and showed their tragic “joy with the people”.

The netizens’ attitudes changed from unlimited sympathy to joy.

This mentality was a little like watching many ballers draw tens of thousands of yuan in card games but feel lonely. Even though it was indeed miserable, everyone liked to watch this program effect.

Look at the name of the game. Who asked you not to drive safely?

Zhang Yan looked at the number of people in her live-stream. It had decreased compared to before.

On one hand, it was almost the new year. The live-stream website’s traffic was naturally decreasing. On the other hand, Zhang Yan’s racing car did not have much program effect.

That was because he was too focused on driving a car. Zhang Yan’s standard was not top-notch in Bunny Tail Live-Stream.

There were some very powerful big shots on Bunny Tail Live-Stream when it came to top driving skills. Some were car gods in simulation games and were very good at it. There were also some professional car drivers in reality. These people were much better than Zhang Yan.

As for Zhang Yan’s previous live-stream, be it for a driver’s license, a car, or a long distance, the program effect was very good. That was because she was a female driver. What’s more, the process of driving for a long distance was relatively boring. She could chat with the audience and work hard. Thus, she gained popularity very quickly.

However, in the past two weeks, Zhang Yan had been training on the racing track once she started live-streaming. She had been training on the same racing track for several hours. What’s more, she might not have made any obvious improvements over the past few hours.

In addition, the racing spirit had to be very focused. Zhang Yan basically could not read the bullet screen comments and communicate with the bullet screen comments. The live-stream effect would naturally decrease.

However, Zhang Yan did not pay much attention to this. That was because her first goal was to hone her driving skills and become a true car god. As for live-streaming, it was just a matter of time.

If she had hoped to make a lot of money from live-streaming, she might have gone to other platforms long ago. At that time, she would have created a gimmick as a female driver, put on heavy make-up, and find a guild to boost her ranking. Wouldn’t it be nice if she returned the money of the ballers as if it was counted and split the audience’s money evenly?

Thus, Zhang Yan did not pay much attention to this situation. She was already very satisfied to be able to use the trend of the Safe and Civilized Driving simulator to become popular. She had gone from an unknown small streamer to a slightly famous streamer in the special zone of Safe and Civilized Driving live-stream.

“Eh? The new version of ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ will be updated tonight? What’s more, it will be updated for free.”

Zhang Yan was a little surprised.

That was because ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ was a standalone game without any additional value-added services.
