Chapter 20: Ga Announced — Ghost General!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Qian’er, we’re done!”
“I ran through it twice and haven’t discovered any bugs.”
“Can we publish it now?”
Ma Yang was way more excited than Pei Qian; after all, this was the first ga that he had worked on.
Even though... all he did was fill up a requirent form.
The so called ‘bug check’ took around four hours but Pei Qian did not intend to waste anymore ti.
The main reason was that the ga ca from a template and in itself, the template had already been through multiple checks and was an almost bug-free version.
Pei Qian rely tweaked so of the skills settings while changing the text descriptions. Other than that, he had not touched the other things and there would naturally not be any serious bugs.
But of course, even if there was any bug right now, Pei Qian wouldn’t be able to fix it on his own and would have to go online to hire soone to do it.
“Published.”
Pei Qian still went with the set workflow and submitted the ga for the vetting process.
But before that, he had to determine the ga’s title and summary.
He decided to go along with his previous line of thought. The na and summary must be so simplistic that gars would not be able to understand it or guess at the ga’s content.
It would be best if it did not contain any hot keywords as well.
For example, ‘Three Kingdoms’ must not appear in the ga’s title!
Otherwise, gars who liked three kingdoms related gas would be able to find this ga by searching with those keywords and they might download it to play.
Thinking for a mont, an idea struck Pei Qian as he started keying in the na and summary.
Na: Ghost General.
Summary: This is a normal card ga with nothing new.
Sale Price: 10 yuan
in-ga purchases.
He was certain that gars would not be able to guess at the type of ga it was just by reading the na and summary!
At the sa ti, the 10 yuan barrier of entry would be enough to deter most gars who might accidentally stumble across the ga.
Compared to The Lonely Desert Road, the ga this ti round had a larger size – after all, this was a mobile ga with more content as well.
As such, the vetting process should take slightly longer and it would most likely only be done by the next day earliest.
After settling everything, Pei Qian’s worries of the previous day had disappeared entirely.
Even if the ga’s original arts had decent quality, so what?
How would the gars see the original arts if they don’t know about the existence of the ga to begin with?
Pleased with himself, Pei Qian closed the back end with glee, full of hope towards the settlent a week later.
He could already envision himself in a bright future spending his days like a bum enjoying food and drinks after getting the 300,000...

That afternoon, Ruan Guangjian woke up from hunger.
The others had woken up as well.
Old Huang was packing the house as he cleared all the instant noodle cups and all sorts of rubbish in a huge trash bag, ready to throw it all away.
“Guangjian, you’re awake? How was it, have you handed in the work? Did the client request for any andnts?” Old Huang asked as he packed up.
Ruan Guangjian flipped out of bed. “Nopes. Boss Pei said he was extrely pleased and there’s no need for andnts.”
“Extrely pleased?” Old Huang was surprised. “What sort of a godly client is this? He didn’t even request for a single andnt?”
Ruan Guangjian nodded his head. “That’s right. Even though, it’s true that the quality of our original art has nothing much that needs to be anded,all these shitty clients would usually... eh, is there any cup noodles left?”
“Nopes, we finished them all. Let’s eat out tonight to celebrate,” Old Huang suggested.
Ruan Guangjian nodded his head in agreent. “Sure, that’s what I thought too. We’ll go out and have a good al before splitting the money. It’s been rough on everyone for the past few days.”
“Gosh, you’re the one who had it worst,” Old Huang replied as he dragged a large trash bag out.
Ruan Guangjian had not expected that Pei Qian would accept the original art without any complaints.
Usually, even if the clients were extrely pleased with the project, they would nitpick on so small issues.
Rather than saying it was the fault of the client, it was fundantally an issue with the workflow.
Most of the tis, the client wasn’t a single person but a unit or a company.
The person who ca in contact with the freelancers would just be a single employee of the client.
If the freelancers were to hand in a project and the person in charge of it at the client side were to accept it without any issues, he would have a hard ti accounting for it to his superiors.
The fact that the employee did not find a single mistake with the end product may make him seem useless, as though he hadn’t done his job properly.
That was the reason why the clients would always nitpick on so small issues to make it seem as though they were doing sothing.
In fact, there would even be despairing scenarios such as... “Let’s just use the first draft”.
Ruan Guangjian was grateful as well that he had t with such an angel of a client this ti round.
He was upfront with the paynt and not only did he not bargain, he had even increased their pay!
The requirent form was casual – they could do what they wanted with the design!
No andnts were required of the designs that were accepted with satisfaction!
That had Ruan Guangjian feeling sowhat embarrassed.
However, when he thought about how much effort he had put in to provide those high quality original arts, Ruan Guangjian did not see an issue anymore.
All he could say was that working with straightforward people was a pleasant experience!
Having slogged their guts out for a whole three weeks, it was ti for his roommates to have a good al now that the money was transferred as well.
Ruan Guangjian brought the few of them to a small restaurant near the school and booked a suite while purchasing two cartons of beer from a supermarket nearby.
They were intending to stuff themselves completely and make rry till they were drunk.
“Right, Guangjian. Say, what sort of a ga are we making with our original arts? When’s the ga getting published?” Old Huang suddenly recalled an extrely important question as he ate the side dish.
It was only natural for them to want to see the ga they’ve worked in get published sooner.
If it got popular, that would be even better.
“I’ve got no idea when it’s getting published too, I didn’t ask. However, I think all these gas can only get published after multiple rounds of testing, right? I don’t think it’ll get published anyti soon.”
“Right, I could check it out.”
Ruan Guangjian had an account at ESRO’s resource website. He could check Pei Qian’s account to find his company and check the gas they had published previously.
“Holy f*ck! The Lonely Desert Road was made by this company?!”
Ruan Guangjian was stunned.
He had long heard of that ssed up ga. Even though he hadn’t tried it himself, he had heard all sorts of things about it previously.
He then looked at the second ga.
“It’s called Ghost General. A mobile card ga that’s being vetted! This should be the ga that our original art’s used for.”
“Wouldn’t that an we’ll be able to play it soon?”
“Wait, isn’t this a little too fast...? I’ve only just sent the original art this morning and it was sent for vetting this afternoon? That ans, we’ll be able to play it tomorrow night?!”
Ruan Guangjian was completely confounded by that lightning speed.
Most gas would have to be tested for days or even a week, right? What if there was a bug in the ga?
But yet, this ga was published right that day?!
Old Huang chewed on his shelled peanuts. “That’s normal. Maybe the entire process was completed long ago and they were just waiting for our art resources to add on and complete the job? What’s so strange about it.”
Ruan Guangjian nodded his head. “Hmms, true. We’ll be able to download and check it out for ourselves tomorrow.”
“Co on! Let’s talk about the ga tomorrow! A drink first!” Old Huang raised his glass as they clinked glasses rrily, intending to get completely drunk!
