Losing Money to Be a Chapter 108 - Ma Yiqun’s Task

Chapter 108: Ma Yiqun’s Task

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Fish-Catching Internet Cafe’s losses had reassured Pei Qian greatly. As for Boss Pei’s Daily Life and Ga Designer, they both had signs of losing steam as well. If sothing else happened with Fish-Catching Internet Cafe again, Pei Qian’s heart might not be able to take it anymore.

Fortunately, Ma Yang would never let him down! Pei Qian settled down a little.

He was still most concerned now with Ga Designer. The internet cafe continued to incur losses. Although three hundred thousand seed like a lot, it was the icing on the cake and wasn’t that substantial.

As for Boss Pei’s Daily Life… Pei Qian’s only wish was for it not to engage in sponsored partnerships.

“Next, I have to continue paying attention to Ga Designer; I can’t allow anyone to pull any stunts! I must learn my lesson from Ocean Stronghold the previous ti.

“Previously, I had not delved into Ocean Stronghold and played it for long; I had only seen the story mode and the 888 Red Kilin and thought that all was good. In the end, it wasn’t that case at all!

“This ti, I must play the ga through from start to end!”

Thinking of this, Pei Qian was a little anxious.

Everyone said that it was hard to make money.

For —why was it that it was so hard to make a loss?!

…

March 25th…

Ga Designer was finally officially completed. It was in late-stage modification and bug fixing now.

Pei Qian asked for the latest version of the ga from the developing team and installed it on his computer. He was going to have a go at it from the start! Although he knew every choice and result like the back of his hand, Pei Qian still wanted to complete the entire gaplay once.

The release date for the ga was April 1st.

To release a ga on April Fool’s Day; yes, he was that reckless! If Pei Qian really found sothing in the ga now that might result in it being popular, there still was ti to fix and rectify it by April 1st.

As for publicity…

Pei Qian had given up on struggling.

Different from the past two tis, Tengda Gas now was rather well-known. With Ghost General and Ocean Stronghold’s reputations, Tengda had gained in popularity.

To date, all of Tengda’s gas had been released through the official gas platform. Once Ga Designer was released, so Ghost General and Ocean Stronghold players would definitely co to try it out!

Under these circumstances—regardless of whether he did advertising or not, it would not affect Ga Designer that much.

The crux was the ga itself.

Pei Qian had done so many things in the ga to mock gars; that was where his confidence was at! Pei Qian started the ga from the very beginning. Every segnt, every result, every voice-over; he paid much attention to them.

“…Lu Mingliang’s dubbing is actually not bad? How did he make out this irritating and cheapskate voice? It’s so boring. There’s no point in running, really. This voice-over keeps on mocking ; can I just go and beat Lu Mingliang up now…”

“How long more do I have to run…? Hang in there…”

Pei Qian felt that he was in a trance; Ga Designer had created the ultimate urge in him to quit playing. Although Ruan Guangjian had personally created the animation and concept designs and the entire ga’s artistic style was rather unique—to Pei Qian, these were tasteless.

Why?

Every single choice, every voice-over… had been written by Pei Qian!

Walking in a room, he was faced with an umpteenth number of choices. For a gar, after every door and every decision, an unknown awaited them. However, for Pei Qian, he knew clearly what was going to happen.

Knowing what was going to happen well; would this ga be fun?

Just like if one was watching a detective drama, and he already knew who the killer was—what the ending was like. No matter how good or splendid the process was, it would not have that good an effect.

Hence, Pei Qian scrunched his nose as he went through the entire gaplay once and experienced a few different endings. He ca to a conclusion.

This ga was exceedingly boring! There was no special way to play it. Players could only control their gars to run around and enter room after room. Every ti they ran to a new room, they could only see the setup inside each room and hear a voice-over mocking them.

Besides that, no other way of playing the ga existed!

“En, not bad. This ti, this ga has standards.

“Alas, I must indeed intervene in order to make sure things are smooth!”

Pei Qian rested easy. From the looks of it, this ga did not require any alterations. It would flunk at the launch, and all he had to do was wait for the losses to co in!

…

…

At this sa ti, everyone else in the company was extrely busy.

Ma Yiqun—who had formally entered the company—received his first formal task. He was to play Ga Designer!

However, it was to just experience the ga.

Lu Mingliang asked Ma Yiqun to see more and learn more; however, he was not intending to let Ma Yiqun raise any opinions or suggestions. He most definitely was not going to let Ma Yiqun make changes to the ga.

“This company… is indeed special,” Ma Yiqun sighed and said.

The work environnt was very good while a harmonious environnt was ever-present; a salary package much higher than the industry standard.

Ma Yiqun had heard Huang Sibo talk about these things before and hence had not felt that surprised.

What surprised him was the way the company worked!

He still rembered the first day he entered Shang Yang Gas back then. He had just entered and before he had even ward his seat, Old Liu had tossed a huge pile of ga synopses at him.

There was no direction, no instruction. His demands were vague and his standards unclear. Besides the due date, everything else was left to Ma Yiqun. All in all, he was there to work!

As for Tengda, things were completely different. He had arrived and had not been given any work but only a few words: see more and learn more! If he wanted to quickly throw himself into work?

Apologies, that wasn’t going to happen.

“Indeed, this is a completely different level, right?

“Shang Yang Gas was doing things that were rough and did not apply technology at all. Hence, even newcors like

could get used to the work quickly. Hiring new people for them was entirely just to have nial workers to issue commands to.

“For Tengda, a high standard of design had to go into the work here. Hence, newcors could only learn! Furthermore, this learning process had to be for an extended ti…

“Ah, I seem to have returned to high school. I’m quite nervous and the pressure is great.”

Ma Yiqun couldn’t help but salute Tengda. After running through Ga Designer once, Ma Yiqun felt that it was very unique. This type of ga… he had never seen it before!

It did not seem to belong to any commonly seen gas in the market now. If this was sothing proposed at Shang Yang Gas, the boss would have shot this down imdiately. With no precedent and huge risks involved, Shang Yang Gas’ boss would definitely not have invested money in it!

However, it seed like this kind of new and uncommon thing was quite normal. With the boss leading the way to innovate and co up with new ideas, all employees listened and cooperated seamlessly!

This kind of understanding and consensus was not sothing that could be fostered in a short while.

In Shang Yang Gas, Ma Yiqun frequently heard so conversations like ‘is there precedence’, ‘which ga is this copying’, ‘are there enough paywall options’, etc. In Tengda, he had not heard such talk at all. It seed as if everyone was working in steps towards a common goal. Although Ma Yiqun didn’t understand, he felt this was sothing incredible!

Ma Yiqun deeply felt that he still had so much to learn.

“No wonder no work has been assigned to ; my abilities are still severely lacking! I must work hard to learn and understand what’s going on; I must align with Boss Pei’s train of thought as soon as possible!”

Ma Yiqun quietly made up his mind.
