Before we search for new partners, let's talk about the recent circumstances of so subordinates around Fang You.
Emperor Youyou commanded troops as nurous as clouds and warriors like rain.
Among them, the most acclaid general was Song Hang, the star programr of Youxing Studio.
In the past three years, Youxing Studio has developed two gas in the "Dragon Quest" series. Their very first ga, "Rod's Hero," made a sensational debut, quickly winning over a large fanbase and becoming the indie gaming dark horse of that year, with cumulative sales breaking through the 100,000 mark amidst nurous other gas.
Youxing Studio released "Dragon Quest: The Bride of the Sky" in the sumr of the second year.
The works from "Dragon Quest" 1 through 6 belong more to nostalgia-filled pieces, and those that truly stand out, apart from the historically innovative gaplay of the third installnt, is the storyline of "Dragon Quest 5: The Bride of the Sky."
"The Bride of the Sky" tells a brutal adventure of an intergenerational struggle against the demon lord spanning several decades—
One child, full of eager ambition, was just about to set out with his father to find their missing mother, when a strangely dressed man approached him. After saying sothing odd, the man hurried away—
"No matter what happens in the future, you must stay strong."
Ten years later, the young man, after enduring the loss of both parents, slavery, a curse that turned him and his wife into stone statues for years, and other hardships, fate brought him back to that morning when his journey began. Standing in front of his house, he saw the brave young version of himself looking at him in astonishnt. It was then that he truly understood the weight of what the man had told him all those years ago—
Unlike other installnts in the Hero series, "The Bride of the Sky" is almost the only story where the protagonist is not a hero. The tragic struggles and growth of three generations build up to the satisfying defeat of the demon lord, composing an anthem of ordinary humans, on par with the gods, in the form of a hero's epic.
Of course, the most talked-about part of the story is the very interesting marriage system.
As the plot progresses, the male lead has the option to marry either the lively childhood friend Bianca, the gentle and wise Flora, or the sexy and haughty queen of violence, Debora.
It's hard for Song Hang not to think that his boss designed this plotline after his own life, since the boss himself had three good friends with whom he built a secret base playground.
Of course, this was You Ge's private affair, and Song Hang had learned his lesson and would no longer pry.
The content volu of the fifth installnt was far greater than the third, and the new monster capture system was an unprecedented massive change, which is why the production cycle was much longer. It was only completed in the second sumr and sold at a price of 88 yuan.
Although it was constrained by the limitations of the tis, and "The Bride of the Sky," released in our previous life in 1992, could hardly replicate the incredible sales figures in the millions like in the original world.
The total sales so far have just barely surpassed two hundred thousand.
Even so, for a studio that consisted of only two people, this was still a substantial revenue.
After deducting taxes, promotional costs for various platforms, and Song Hang's salary and bonuses, Youxing Studio has already made a profit of about 5 million yuan.
This figure might signify financial independence for the average person, but for Emperor Youyou, it was just a start, especially since, by the ti he was in kindergarten, our Great Emperor had already earned this amount through various endorsents.
Moreover, our Nuo Nuo aspires to reach the sky, and the cost of a lunar rocket is 360 million. The money in my own hands is rely a light drizzle, and it hasn't yet surpassed the glory of the previous generation!
The glory ntioned here, of course, refers to Xia Anyang—is there any misunderstanding?
After completing the production and distribution of "Bride of the Sky," Fang You did not rush to make new gas for Song Hang, as Song Hang's passionate enthusiasm for creation caused Fang You so concern.
It gave the impression of soone constantly working hard, as if deliberately avoiding thinking about sothing.
This was particularly evident in an incident that happened last year.
During the creation period, Song Hang was taken to the hospital by an ambulance due to an increased heart rate from staying up late at night.
After that, Fang You intentionally slowed down the release of resources and planning proposals, wanting to let his subordinate take a break. He approved a year's leave for him, allowing him so ti to rest properly.
When Song Hang heard that he didn't have to work for a year, he could not accept it. He repeatedly emphasized to Fang You that he only worked for three months on "Bride of the Sky" that year and spent the rest playing gas to prove that his work was nowhere near saturation.
Of course, such feedback was firmly rejected by Emperor Youyou with the argunt "playing gas is working."
But to give Song Hang nothing to do at all would obviously leave him feeling a bit alienated, not knowing what to do. So, using the expansion of the studio as a pretext, Fang You asked Song Hang to start forming a more comprehensive developnt team, expanding Youxing Studio to around 10 people, which gave him sothing to work on.
For Song Hang, who no longer communicated much with the outside world, interacting with people, especially adults, had beco sowhat difficult. However, since it was a task assigned by his boss, it gave Song Hang a goal to continue striving for.
Recently, he has been trying to participate in so social activities, such as watching movies, attending cody shows, visiting amusent parks, and going to comic conventions to strengthen his social skills before starting the recruiting process for the studio expansion.
In fact, Fang You very much hoped to share his relentless vitality and aerobic expertise with Song Hang, but current conditions didn't seem to allow it. Fang You could only wait and see, perhaps once he unlocked a dical-related talent, he might be able to help out his most formidable workhorse.
As for the second subordinate to ntion, it naturally falls on ng Qing, Fang You's direct disciple, whose situation and treatnt are worlds apart from Song Hang's.
After helping save the Martial Arts Hall from crisis, ng Qing reaffird her resolve that she truly loved martial arts, returning to the martial arts career she had once abandoned.
With the help of her direct disciple Fang You's legendary performance in the rank battles, her coach, ng Qing, also rose to fa, becoming a legendary figure at Jingji Children's Martial Arts Hall. Many parents sought her out, willing to pay a hefty sum for her direct guidance in hopes that their children would also beco talented young martial artists like her.
However, ng Qing was not blinded by the imdiate fa. She knew that her extraordinary achievents today relied entirely on the talents of her master, You You. So, over the past three years, she did not take on any new students but instead went deep into campuses, diligently consolidating her martial arts theoretical knowledge and improving her practical martial arts level.
Today, she has finally obtained her Advanced Martial Arts Instructor certification and has successfully earned her rank in the battles, becoming an active Bronze-Level Warrior. She has proven her strength and talent to all who doubted her and has erged as a small but successful figure in life.
Today, this Sunday, Fang You also plans to et up with this disciple to understand her current situation.
And incidentally, see if he can coax and trick her into joining his soapbox racing competition "just to make up the numbers."
