Agreed to make bad games, What the Hell is Titan Fall 143
by admin## Chapter 143: On a Date! Do Not Disturb!
Fragrant dumplings were served on the table!
Shen Miao Miao had specially ordered braised dishes, preserved goods, and small cold dishes from outside, which had also arrived.
Of course, a case of ice beer was not to be missed!
*Pop*
The cool, refreshing beer was popped open, and Shen Miao Miao picked up a beer glass and gulped it down. The rich foam left a trace on her lips, making her look like a kitten who had stolen some milk.
“Ah… so refreshing!”
Shen Miao Miao smacked her lips and let out a satisfied sigh.
Originally, the beer was for Old Gu and the other two.
But Shen Miao Miao was in a good mood today and joined in on the drinking.
During the meal, everyone was lively and chatted happily.
The three brothers reminisced about their funny experiences in college, which made Shen Miao Miao burst into laughter.
They talked about their college days, their jobs, and the funny things that happened when Golden Wind was first established, filled with bursts of laughter.
The dishes on the table gradually dwindled, and all the dumplings were devoured by the four of them.
“Let’s… toast!”
With the last delicious dumpling swallowed, Shen Miao Miao, with a rosy face, raised her glass.
Seeing her mischievous appearance, Gu Sheng sighed helplessly.
A case of beer for four people meant about three bottles each.
This amount of alcohol was nothing for the three grown men, it was merely a drop in the bucket.
But for Little Nezha (Shen Miao Miao), it was a significant amount.
After all, she usually never touched alcohol.
During the meal, Gu Sheng had repeatedly tried to persuade Little Nezha to stop drinking, saying that a little bit of alcohol was enough for enjoyment.
But this little rascal, for some unknown reason, seemed particularly excited today, even to the point of being a little giddy. She even kept raising her glass to encourage the three of them to drink.
And this is how things turned out.
At this moment, Little Nezha was grinning, looking a bit silly, her little face flushed, and her big eyes were slightly unfocused.
She wasn’t very smart to begin with, and now she seemed even more clueless.
“Cheers!!!”
As the four of them raised their glasses, the icy beer cups clinked together, bringing this joyful dinner to a close.
Full of food and drink!
Lu Bian and Da Jiang also helped Old Gu clean up the house, making it neat and tidy. Then, they didn’t linger, had a sip of tea, and got up to leave.
Scampering in for a free meal, livening up the atmosphere, flattering the big brother, helping with the dishes and cleaning, taking a symbolic sip of tea and chatting for a bit before leaving.
Who is Lu Bian?
He himself is a top fighter jet, and now, as a wingman, he is even more proficient.
His every move is smooth and flawless, like a perfect performance.
As the door to the building opened, Lu Bian and Da Jiang threw the garbage they had brought with them into the trash can.
Closing the lid of the trash can, Lu Bian offered Da Jiang a cigarette: “What are you thinking about? You seem lost in thought.”
“I’m thinking about the dinner just now.”
Da Jiang frowned slightly, his expression serious.
“The dinner just now? What’s wrong? Is something amiss?”
Lu Bian was puzzled, lit his cigarette, and asked.
Da Jiang said, “You see, during that meal,”
“Shengge refilled the vinegar dish eight times, they only had half a bottle of vinegar left at home, and Shengge finished almost all of it,”
“And Shenzong, on the other hand, was peeling garlic almost the whole time, she ate almost one and a half cloves of garlic by herself…”
“So you mean you didn’t say much during the meal because you were counting for them?”
Lu Bian was dumbfounded, he couldn’t understand Da Jiang’s logic: “So what? Why are you observing these bizarre details?”
“So I was thinking…”
Da Jiang pondered for a moment, took a deep drag of his cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said with a serious expression, “Do you think if they kissed, it would taste like fermented garlic?”
“I see other couples have names, so do you think Shengge and Shenzong should be called the Fermented Garlic Couple?”
Lu Bian: …
Seeing that Lu Bian didn’t respond to him, Da Jiang looked at him curiously.
He saw that Lu Bian was scrolling through his phone.
He couldn’t help but ask, “What are you doing? Who are you calling?”
“The mental hospital,”
Lu Bian crushed out his cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke with a sigh of resignation, “Don’t give up on treatment, Da Jiang, I’ll find the best neurologist in the country for you,”
“Your brain-dead symptoms, I’ll definitely cure you,”
“No matter how much it costs!!!”
…
“This is not about money at all!!!”
At the same time!
In Gu Sheng’s home, faced with Little Nezha, who was grinning and acting like a rogue, Gu Sheng was helpless!
“Shen Miao Miao, are you listening to yourself?”
Gu Sheng took a bite of cucumber, rolled his eyes in annoyance, “A cucumber with a funny face on its cross-section, let alone whether it exists or not, have you ever seen one?”
“Where on earth am I supposed to buy you one?!”
This was too ridiculous!
He was afraid of what might happen, and now it was happening!
The reason why Gu Sheng kept urging Little Nezha not to drink too much at the dinner table was precisely because he was afraid that she would go crazy after getting drunk.
But he still couldn’t stop her.
As soon as Lu Bian and the two of them left, this little rascal started.
First, she insisted that Gu Sheng find her a cucumber with a funny face on its cross-section. The reason was that she had given Gu Sheng a smiling cucumber before, so he should return the favor with another one with a different expression.
Gu Sheng said that such a strange thing didn’t exist in the world, and she started rolling around on the sofa, howling like a mischievous child.
With no other choice, Gu Sheng had to carve a funny expression with a fruit knife to appease this mischievous child.
But it didn’t end there.
After munching on the funny-faced cucumber, Shen Miao Miao dragged Gu Sheng to play “Chaos Kitchen.”
As a result, because her head was still dizzy from the alcohol, she kept making mistakes and was so frustrated that she burst into tears.
After finally coaxing her, Shen Miao Miao, for some unknown reason, insisted on playing chess with Gu Sheng.
Seeing that she couldn’t win against Gu Sheng, she started acting like a spoiled child.
She claimed that her elephant was a flying elephant, so it could cross the river, that her horse was a steed, so it could jump three times in a row, and that her pawn was a special forces soldier who could charge forward and even act as a chariot.
She even directly grabbed Gu Sheng’s old general’s piece and ate it, saying that it was a spy she had infiltrated into Gu Sheng’s camp, waiting for this moment to strike.
Eating, playing games, playing chess, watching movies…
Gu Sheng was completely overwhelmed.
Even though it was only for one night!
But Gu Sheng had already decided that he would never let Little Nezha touch alcohol again!
This little rascal was really too much!
Finally!
When the end credits of the movie appeared on the projector in the living room!
The Little Nezha beside him finally calmed down completely.
Gu Sheng turned to look, only to see that she was already fighting to keep her eyes open, swaying back and forth like a nodding insect, her little head kept sinking down.
“Alright,”
Gu Sheng patted Shen Miao Miao: “You’re so sleepy, go wash up and go to bed.”
“Ah… yeah…”
Shen Miao Miao woke up, her eyes filled with drowsiness, as if she would fall asleep the next second, but she still stubbornly shook her head: “I’m not sleepy… You’re finally spending time with me… I haven’t played enough.”
Perhaps because she had drunk alcohol and was too sleepy, Shen Miao Miao didn’t even realize that she had let the words slip out of her mouth.
Hearing this.
Gu Sheng was stunned.
He looked at the girl beside him, trying her best to keep her eyes open, looking dazed and with a slightly flushed face.
An indescribable feeling of affection surged up in his heart. He reached out to touch Little Nezha’s head, but his hand froze in mid-air for two seconds before falling down, then he patted her shoulder: “How about we play together again tomorrow? It’s very late, you should go to bed.”
“Mmm… mmm…”
Shen Miao Miao opened her mouth slightly, blinked hard, and looked at the clock: “Then… can we really play together tomorrow…”
“Yes, yes,”
Gu Sheng nodded solemnly, “It’s Sunday tomorrow, no work.”
“Hmm… hmm…”
Shen Miao Miao couldn’t hold on anymore, her speech was becoming increasingly slurred, her voice was low and soft: “But you always… work.”
“I’m not working tomorrow,”
Gu Sheng didn’t even think, “I’m not doing any work tomorrow.”
“Hmm… hmm… hey…”
Shen Miao Miao’s voice became quieter: “Then tomorrow I… want to go to the amusement park… roller coaster… carousel…”
“Okay, let’s go in the morning tomorrow.”
As he spoke, Gu Sheng gently patted Shen Miao Miao’s shoulder.
And Shen Miao Miao, using the last bit of consciousness she had left, muttered, “You… okay… Gu…”
“What?”
Gu Sheng couldn’t hear clearly, he turned his head to look at Shen Miao Miao.
But he found that she couldn’t hold on anymore, she rested her head on his shoulder and fell fast asleep, her breathing was even and steady.
The dim night light in the living room emitted a warm orange glow, casting a romantic hue over this quiet night.
And Gu Sheng’s heart seemed to be filled with that night light.
In the darkness that had been shrouded in darkness for so long, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared, stirring his heartstrings.
It was like a spring of clear water in dry and cracked soil, like a tender green sprout on a withered tree.
It was more like blowing the dust off a dusty book that had been sealed for half a century, seeing a delicate and charming face in the swirling dust.
Sometimes she frowned, sometimes she smiled, in joy, anger, sorrow, and fear, she was all the colors that made him dream of her.
And at this moment.
The owner of that face was curled up beside him, her head resting lightly on his shoulder, emitting a peaceful and steady breathing sound.
Gu Sheng turned his head slightly.
Her silky hair, with the fragrance of peaches, got closer and closer, but the next second, he stopped.
He pursed his lips, picked up his phone from beside him, raised it up, and pressed the shutter button.
*Click*
Little Nezha, wrapped in a blanket, like a small animal resting, and Gu Sheng, smiling with a thumbs-up, were frozen in this moment.
“Sigh…”
He saved the photo, Gu Sheng sighed softly, and whispered, “Although you made me sleep on the sofa for the whole night in Bogli before,”
“But I can’t be unkind…”
As he spoke.
Gu Sheng gently wrapped his arms around Shen Miao Miao’s neck and legs, picked her up, gently pushed open the door, placed her on the bed, paused for a moment, turned around and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
*Click*
Upon hearing the sound of the door closing, Shen Miao Miao on the bed turned over, mumbled in a daze, her voice drifting through the bedroom, “Scared… ghost…”
…
The next day, Sunday.
The progress of the recent season pass was remarkably fast.
Since Wang Xiaoming proposed the entire set of in-app purchase system, everyone became more and more motivated.
With the concerted efforts of all parties, although the project progress was only two-thirds complete at this point.
But the entire in-app purchase system, including the pass and loot boxes, had been basically finished.
Everyone was very enthusiastic about development.
Making money was secondary.
The main thing was that they all wanted to see what kind of response this new in-app purchase monetization model would evoke in the market.
Because for now, from the perspective of the project team, they were very optimistic about this in-app purchase model.
But it’s important to remember that as designers, their opinions are subjective.
The market effect of this unprecedented monetization model ultimately depends on the players’ judgment.
And now.
The items related to in-app purchase rewards were pretty much finalized.
For the pass, after discussions between the planning department and the art department, they finally decided on the suggestion of Xu Da Jiang, the art director, and set the Ironclad Suit as the ultimate grand prize.
As for the loot boxes, legendary and below-level gun skins and other reward items had been determined.
In other words.
Now!
The only thing missing was the ten legendary heirloom items that would be released in the first batch, and there was no final solution yet!
Regarding this issue, Wang Xiaoming and Da Jiang had also consulted with the chief supervisor Gu Sheng before.
The response they received was that to enrich the content of the first batch of boxes, it was necessary to stimulate players’ desire to open boxes, and at the same time encourage players to try out new legends more often.
The heirloom items for the first batch of legends would all be released at the same time.
The basic form and design concept had also been communicated to Da Jiang, who was mainly responsible for the art.
Things like Bloodhound’s axe, Revenant’s kunai dagger, Lifeline’s baton, and Pathfinder’s boxing gloves, etc.
And today!
Lu Bian, Xu Da Jiang, Wang Xiaoming, and Jiang Yun, as the core of the core team, discussed the first draft of these heirloom items.
Finally!
After discussion, everyone summarized their adjustment opinions and plans.
“Okay, that’s basically it, I have no objections,”
In the online meeting, Jiang Yun nodded, expressing his affirmation of the final plan: “What about Wang Manager?”
“I have no objections either,”
Wang Xiaoming said, “I think this design should be quite attractive to players.”
“I’m okay too, I didn’t have any major constructive opinions to begin with,”
Lu Bian then laughed, “My job is to provide you with program support, the main thing is up to Da Jiang.”
“I’m good with it,”
Da Jiang said it was all a piece of cake: “The changes are not that big, not difficult.”
“Then that’s it!”
Lu Bian clapped his hands and announced that the plan was unanimously approved: “Now it’s time to let Old Gu take a look, wait a minute, I’ll contact him…”
As he spoke!
Lu Bian took off his headphones, picked up his phone, found Gu Sheng’s number, and dialed it.
But strangely, Old Gu, who usually answered within three rings, didn’t answer this time.
“Strange…”
Lu Bian frowned, and dialed Gu Sheng’s WeChat number again.
Still no answer.
“Hey…?”
Lu Bian was a little puzzled, he pressed the voice button and left a message for Gu Sheng: “Old Gu, Old Gu, what are you busy with? We’ve finalized the heirloom plan here, we need you to take a look.”
However!
Before he could put down his phone!
*Ding Dong!*
A message popped up in the chat window, five big characters:
【Gu Sheng: On a date! Do not disturb!】
At the same time!
In Binjiang Amusement Park, a girl with a bun and wearing a cute pink overall dress, gave a mischievous smile and put away her phone.
She took the two ice cream cones handed to her by the waiter, said thank you, then skipped and hopped like a cheerful deer towards a tall and upright man in the group, wearing a Mickey Mouse watch on his wrist: “Old Gu… ice cream…!”
