Chapter 1 Enjoying Life

Back in his rented apartment, Pei Qian changed into his casual wear and nestled on the sofa, enjoying the afternoon sunlight. He felt an unspeakable comfort.

He had always wanted to experience the feeling of taking a day off whenever he felt like it when he was working. Now he finally got to experience it!

It was just a shame he couldn't experience this kind of thing all the time, or the System would judge it as a violation.

He took a can of ice-cold cola from the refrigerator, took two sips, and began to consider his future plans.

His spending plan for this period was going smoothly.

Renting office space, hiring employees, buying office supplies, and so on. These operations had indeed spent a lot of System Funds.

Moreover, these fixed expenses were a burden every month, allowing him to continuously spend money.

This made Pei Qian feel very secure!

From the perspective of accelerating spending, Pei Qian's goal had been achieved.

However, the company still had to operate normally; the System stipulated that he could not be passively loafing.

With more employees, Pei Qian faced a new problem.

He had to choose a wrong direction, so that the company could lose money in a reasonable way, and he couldn't let the employees see that he was doing it on purpose!

"This is very difficult..."

Pei Qian roughly considered it.

The key was to choose the right type of game.

He would definitely not touch mobile games again; that was a huge pit!

Learning from the lesson of *Ghost General*, Pei Qian deeply realized that, benefiting from the popularization of smartphones, the mobile game field was currently at its peak.

Even if you make a pig, it might fly with the wind!

In that case, he should make PC games!

The current PC game market should be in a continuous decline, constantly going downhill.

Currently, there was a comprehensive MMORPG game on the market called *Fantasy World*, which was similar to *World of Warcraft* in his previous life.

If he wanted to die, directly crashing into *Fantasy World* would be a good choice.

But Pei Qian thought again, that was not appropriate; there was still a risk.

What if he accidentally created a *Jian Wang 3*? That would be very embarrassing!

The key was that MMORPG games had relatively fixed gameplay. Even with the perfect *Fantasy World* there, people would still play a 90-point MMORPG game.

Not particularly stable!

What kind of game had a 99% chance of dying after a crash?

Crash into *God's Revelation*?

Absolutely not!

What if he accidentally created a *League of Legends*? That would be a disaster!

Pei Qian was not sure about what kind of game could lose money; he could only filter it based on his previous life's experience.

He should try to avoid anything that had a successful case in his previous life!

After thinking it over, Pei Qian finally thought of a good type.

There was an extremely successful game of this type currently on the market.

No matter how hard his employees worked to make it, Pei Qian's developed game would definitely not be as good as this game in terms of experience!

In his previous life, although there was also a successful case in this field, its success mainly benefited from the general environment.

In this parallel world, the general environment had undergone huge changes!

Pei Qian felt that this was a pretty good choice!

If he added some inevitable failures in his modified version, this loss would definitely be foolproof!

The more Pei Qian thought about it, the happier he became. He had considered all aspects.

The only remaining problem was to slightly fool these recruited employees (slackers).

Of course, it didn't matter if he didn't fool them. Pei Qian was the boss, and what he said was what the employees had to do. He still had this power.

But Pei Qian was a reasonable person.

Forcing these employees to make a game that they didn't like had two risks. One was that many people would slack off, and the game wouldn't be made, and wouldn't be approved. This would be considered passive loafing, triggering a violation.

The other was that the employees might suspect that Pei Qian was deliberately messing things up, which could also trigger a violation.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, Pei Qian still had to unify his thinking, so that these people could get the work done. He only needed to slightly nudge the key decisions to completely divert the entire development direction!

...

Tuesday.

Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd., conference room.

Huang Sibo and the others were all sitting neatly, looking at Pei Qian with anticipation.

Today was November 12th. Yesterday, Monday, was Singles' Day, but Pei Qian had ordered everyone to take a forced holiday to make up for it.

This three-and-a-half-day vacation made Huang Sibo think he was living in paradise!

However, after the holiday, Huang Sibo became even more convinced of one thing.

President Pei was a good boss, and he must do his best for him!

Everyone else was in the same mindset.

Such a good boss was extinct!

Everyone taking a holiday on Singles' Day, those with partners accompanied their partners, and those without partners looked for partners. What kind of spirit was this!

Where could they find such a good boss who cared so much about the lives of his employees?

Therefore, after this holiday, most people had rested and were full of energy and motivation.

Even Bao Xu, the top of his balding head seemed to radiate optimism and positivity.

Pei Qian coughed lightly and looked at everyone present. "The next project we are going to do is an FPS game."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Especially Huang Sibo.

He knew that Pei Qian's previous successful work was *Ghost General*, a card mobile game.

Logically speaking, the new project was more likely to be a large card mobile game, or at least a mobile game.

Suddenly jumping to PC games, or even an FPS project, the span was a bit too big. Generally, no company would do this!

After all, no one in the company had ever done it before. The risk was too great.

Moreover, mobile games should still be booming in the near future. It seemed too wasteful to give up on it at this time.

As if guessing what Huang Sibo wanted to say, Pei Qian continued, "We will not do mobile game projects."

"Tengda's goal is to become a gaming giant, and we cannot let small mobile game projects blind us. Being content with a small fortune is not in Tengda's nature, nor is it in my nature!"

"We at Tengda, if we don't make a sound, we will shock the world!"

When Pei Qian said these words, he was righteous and awe-inspiring, with a face full of integrity, giving off the feeling of being worth tens of billions, pointing out the country, and having everything under control.

Huang Sibo suddenly understood and nodded vigorously.

So that's how it is!

His level was different!

Huang Sibo himself was thinking of taking things step by step and stably profiting for the company.

But President Pei's vision and mind were completely different!

The eight words "If we don't make a sound, we will shock the world" made Huang Sibo's blood boil!

Look, look, this was the difference in levels!

The previous company thought about how to squeeze money from players every day, which was simply despicable and disgusting.

Looking at Tengda again, the difference between companies was so great!

Pei Qian looked at everyone's reaction and was very satisfied.

"Then next are my few requirements for this project. This project... Huang Sibo, Bao Xu, you two will take the lead."

"Bao Xu is responsible for proposing the design concept, and Huang Sibo, as the executive chief planner, is responsible for implementing it."

Bao Xu and Huang Sibo were both shocked and almost thought they had misheard.

Damn, such an important task?!

The concept design could be said to be the soul of a game.

The executive chief planner was responsible for promoting the progress and ensuring that the game could be made smoothly.

Basically, the two most important positions in the design team were handed out by Pei Qian so lightly!

Bao Xu was okay; after all, he didn't know much about the structure of game companies and didn't have a clear concept of what kind of important responsibility he was taking on.

Huang Sibo was completely shocked.

An executive planner, instantly becoming the executive chief planner, what was going on?

This instantly skipped five or six years of his career!
