Chapter 1 Pei Qian's Troubles

Pei Qian closed the game media's flattering reviews.

The only flaw was still "part of the game content."

If you write reviews like this, people will think I bribed you!

Aren't you supposed to be professional review media?

Can't you even find fault with it!

Pei Qian felt exhausted.

Forget it, let's see what the players are saying.

Players are so picky; they should be able to find plenty of faults, right?

Pei Qian clicked on the player reviews again, and as a result, the latest ratings were all uniformly five-star praises!

One-star reviews were all buried at the bottom.

"The art style is really amazing. These particularly abstract elements are expressed in a very concrete way, making the boring subject matter very vivid and interesting!"

"Came here from Teacher Qiao, a classic work of black humor!"

"Must give a five-star praise! Those who don't give five stars don't understand this game."

"This narration is too funny. I have no intention of playing the game at all. I just want to tease the narrator!"

"To be honest, I rarely play games that can move me anymore. Nowadays, games are either focused on squeezing money or pandering to vulgar tastes. Games like this with depth and that aren't pandering are really too rare!"

"It's really a very slow-burn game. At first, it felt a little off-putting, but the second time I calmed down to play, I found it more and more interesting, and I can't stop at all! Now I'm already preparing for my 18th playthrough!"

"28 yuan is really too conscientious. Can you really recover the cost? This game feels like it has a lot of investment! I bought three copies, two for friends. I hope the game company doesn't lose money!"

Looking through the players' reviews, Pei Qian fell into deep thought.

The person who bought three copies of the game, could you please tell me your address? I'll send you some local specialties!

This is outrageous...

The content I racked my brains to come up with to dissuade them has become a selling point again???

Someone even said they really like teasing the narrator?

Okay, I'll satisfy you. Tomorrow, I'll let Lü Mingliang debut as a virtual idol!

Pei Qian was almost collapsing. He originally wanted to see everyone's evaluations, summarize the failure experience, or avoid the following successful lessons.

But… everyone seems to like all aspects of this game?

The art style is good, the gameplay is good, and even that annoying narrator has become a highlight!

What kind of experience can I summarize!

Does that mean the game I made is perfect?

What kind of black humor is this!!

Pei Qian leaned back in his chair, feeling like he had become a salted fish, the kind that would never be able to turn over for eternity...

...

April 19th, Monday.

A tertiary hospital in Jingzhou City.

Tengda's employees finished their physical examinations and were eating breakfast.

Huang Sibao and Bao Xu sat at a table, eating steamed buns and drinking soy milk while chatting about their physical examination results.

"Brother Bao, how were your results?"

"Not bad, my stomach has a few small problems. The doctor said I stayed up too late and my diet was irregular. How about you, Brother Huang?"

"I have mild fatty liver and my blood pressure is a little high, but nothing serious."

"I heard that we have to have a physical examination every six months from now on? And we can't skip it..." Bao Xu was a little speechless.

For him, there were only two things in life: games, and everything else.

Things like physical examinations should obviously be classified into the "other" category, which are projects that take up game time, so the less the better.

Ordinary companies only give employees a physical examination once when they join the company, or once a year for better ones.

But Tengda actually has physical examinations every six months, and they can't be skipped, which made Bao Xu feel a little troubled.

Huang Sibao drank his soy milk: "Hey, Brother Bao, you can't think like that. A physical examination is a good thing for us. If it wasn't for this physical examination, I wouldn't have known I had mild fatty liver, and I'll have to be more careful about what I eat in the future. Yiqun, how about you?"

Ma Yiqun, who was sitting next to him, said: "I'm okay, I have a bit of chronic superficial gastritis, which is also a stomach problem, just like Brother Bao."

Huang Sibao nodded: "Well, this is all within expectations. You used to stay up late and work overtime a lot at Shangyang Games, and your diet was irregular and you often ate takeout, so it's normal to have this problem. You still have to pay more attention to your diet and adjust it in the future."

Ma Yiqun sighed: "Tengda is still good, the benefits are good, and they arrange physical examinations for us... President Pei is really a good boss who cares about his employees!"

Huang Sibao smiled: "There's no need to say such obvious truths."

Everyone finished eating and prepared to leave.

Physical examinations were this morning and rest in the afternoon, so everyone could take a taxi back, and the company would reimburse them.

"Uh? I seem to have left my umbrella at the hospital. You guys go ahead, I'll go get it."

Ma Yiqun found that he had forgotten to take his umbrella from the hospital seat during the physical examination, turned around and went back.

Just as he got his umbrella and was about to leave, he heard someone call out from behind: "Please wait a moment!"

Ma Yiqun turned his head and saw a short-haired, bespectacled girl trotting over. She should be looking for him.

"Hello, are you an employee of Tengda?" The girl was a little out of breath because she had jogged for a while, but because of her professional qualities, she still spoke clearly and articulately.

Ma Yiqun nodded in confusion.

"Hello! I'm Hu Yue, a reporter from Youle Shiguang's Jingzhou branch. I'd like to write an exclusive report about Tengda Games recently. Would you be willing to be interviewed?" Hu Yue tossed her short hair and tried to calm the rise and fall of her chest.

Ma Yiqun was stunned: "How did you know I was an employee of Tengda?"

Hu Yue smiled: "I have a classmate who works at the hospital. She told me that Tengda's employees were coming for a physical examination today, so I rushed over immediately."

Youle Shiguang? (Joyful Time)

Ma Yiqun remembered. This was a well-known game media, and both its written news articles and short video programs were very popular.

Under normal circumstances, Ma Yiqun would definitely have agreed readily.

But the situation at Tengda was really not normal.

Because President Pei had specifically instructed that the name and personal information of President Pei could not be disclosed to the outside world, nor could the specific salary and benefits of Tengda be disclosed!

This reporter Hu Yue had originally called Tengda, but as soon as she proposed an interview, she was politely refused.

She was able to find the location of Tengda's company, but they had already refused, so how could she force her way in? That would be too impolite.

Many reporters had been turned away like Hu Yue, and they had all given up.

But Hu Yue was still not giving up. She happened to have a friend who worked at the hospital, knew that Tengda's employees were having a physical examination here, rushed over quickly, and actually caught a lone one.

Ma Yiqun decided to follow President Pei's regulations and politely refuse.

"Sorry, our company has regulations that we cannot disclose our boss's information, nor can we disclose specific salaries and benefits. You should find someone else."

After Ma Yiqun finished speaking, he turned to leave.

"Please wait a moment!" Hu Yue hurriedly called out to stop Ma Yiqun.

She finally caught a living Tengda employee, and she couldn't let him run away like this!
