This Is Not a Bug bu Chapter 33: GuMua Sect

Chapter 33: Chapter 33: GuMua Sect

End of December, moving day.

This process took an entire morning, mainly because the equipnt was pretty heavy, especially the computers, printers, scanners, and ergonomic chairs, making the move quite strenuous.

Considering that these were the only "physical assets" of the studio, Chen Ba didn’t bother hiring a professional moving company.

As expected...

The studio’s three strong n plus Wang Kun who ca to help, a total of four laborers, were all exhausted after moving the stuff.

"This place is pretty spacious."

After taking a sip of water, Wang Kun sized up the new office of Tianba Studio and couldn’t resist asking, "With this space and location, the rent must not be cheap, right?"

"It’s okay, three hundred thousand a year."

Chen Ba shook his head and said, "For comrcial properties like this, which aren’t actual office buildings, the rent is actually acceptable."

It’s a funny story.

The landlord initially didn’t plan to rent to Chen Ba because soone wanted to rent the place to open a card room, offering a much higher rent than Chen Ba.

But just before the contract was signed, the card room tenant was suddenly invited for a "tea ti," due to illegal gambling activities that scared the landlord.

So he decided to rent to Chen Ba at a cheaper rate rather than risk renting it for a card room.

"Haha, sothing like that really happened?"

"I just found out too!"

Chen Ba laughed, "The landlord has other businesses, the rent is just pocket money, renting to us is much more reassuring than renting for a card room."

"That makes sense." Wang Kun nodded, looked around, and asked, "By the way, since this place is so empty, you probably need to hire more people, right?"

"Already recruiting, but no takers."

Chen Ba sighed.

The ga sales revenue from the past two months had already hit the studio’s account, and with money in hand, he definitely wanted to hire more people.

Unfortunately, the recruitnt notice had been out for a week, and not a single decent employee had been attracted so far.

He posted on the Dream Building Forum too.

Tis are different now; previously, Tianba Studio felt embarrassed to recruit on the Dream Building Forum, but now, with representative works, it naturally attracts so interested peers to join in.

But they are either in Zhonghai or Pengcheng...

Unless Tianba Studio moves to a first-tier city, it’s difficult to attract industry peers to join. After all, when people hear that the workplace is in Jiangning, they imdiately lose interest.

The location of Jiangning is not remote.

From the city center to Zhonghai is only about 140 kiloters, which is a drive of an hour and a half.

It’s also just a two-hour drive to New First-tier cities, which are also internet talent hubs like Lin’an.

But the awkward part is here...

You think it’s far? It’s really not! The journey is short, and the commute is convenient. But it’s precisely this hundred kiloters or so that makes many people reluctant to co.

"In the end, we’re still lacking in reputation and talent attraction."

Yang Dong ca over and said with so regret, "If it were an offer from Tencent or Pig Factory, not to ntion a hundred kiloters, even a thousand kiloters wouldn’t be a problem for people to co."

"That’s true!"

Chen Ba and Wang Kun nodded in agreent.

Why can’t Tianba Studio recruit people? Is it really because of the city of Jiangning?

Partially yes.

But more importantly, the studio’s reputation is too low, lacking a certain level of attraction for high-quality industry talent.

This is also why most internet startups usually root themselves in first-tier or new first-tier cities like Zhonghai, Pengcheng, or Lin’an.

In these big cities, even startups recruit easily. If the work location is not in these cities, and the company has a low reputation, people seriously consider whether it’s worth it.

"Take it slow, no rush!"

Chen Ba had a good attitude; lacking attraction for now doesn’t an it will be forever.

As long as Tianba Studio consistently releases new works, they’ll eventually make a na in the gaming industry, attracting countless talents to join.

"It’s a pity my parents don’t agree, otherwise I would really want to resign and join you, to be one of the founding mbers..."

Wang Kun clicked his tongue, "In another twenty years, you all might be multi-millionaires, and I’ll still be in the office drinking tea and goofing off!"

It’s a lie if he said he’s not tempted.

With Tianba Studio succeeding with consecutive gas, any smart person would know that following Brother Ba, the future is secure.

But there’s no way; the pressure from the family is just too much.

His parents could never accept him resigning from a state-owned enterprise to follow Brother Ba into so unreliable startup, as in the older generation’s eyes, a state-owned enterprise job is a "permanent iron rice bowl."

"Who knows about the future."

"Instead of thinking about all that, you might as well co clean, are you the Sect Leader of the Cowherding Sect?"

Chen Ba stared at Kun Kun, serious, "Honesty gets leniency, resistance leads to severity, quickly confess! Does the Cowherding Sect have anything to do with you?"

"Cowherding Sect..."

Wang Kun looked dumbfounded, "What does that have to do with ? Don’t speak nonsense, since when did I beco a Sect Leader?"

Still won’t admit it?

Chen Ba smirked, already seeing through Wang Kun’s true identity.

The forum displays IP addresses.

The Sect Leader of the Cowherding Sect and the High Priest both have IP addresses showing as Jiangning.

According to his investigation, two people entered his view, one is the well-known ga area UP master Qian Duoduo from Thunderbolt, and the other is good buddy Wang Kun.

The Sect Leader and the High Priest must have sothing to do with the two of them!

The only suspense is, who is the High Priest among them, and who is the Sect Leader?

Recently in the "Living Under Soone’s Roof Simulator" comnt section, stirring up trouble is the "GuMua Sect," which is probably also related to these two.

How annoying!

One Cowherding Sect was already unbearable, and now a GuMua Sect appears, which is even more ridiculous than the Cowherding Sect.

"Auntie is the greatest! Auntie YYDS!"

The players of this new sect simply adore the auntie in "Living Under Soone’s Roof Simulator" to the extre.

All this crazy literature and abstract love confessions are just a small part!

The most outrageous is a certain UP master who altered the lyrics of "The World Only Mothers Are Good" to "The World Only Aunties Are Good," and sang it passionately, touching countless players instantly.

Chen Ba had also watched that video.

I can only say that the video’s comnt section and barrage, are sowhat abstract.

Remarks like "Auntie, how can I live without you," and "Auntie, I want to turn into a werewolf for you," made

cover in goosebumps.

One shouldn’t, at least shouldn’t...

Forget it!

There’s already the precedent of "falling in love with Old Huang." This ti the GuMua Sect is unexpected, yet within reason.

As for why there are two factions within the GuMua Sect, one being "Auntie is the Greatest" and the other "Uncle, please hit

hard"... that’s an unknown.

I can only say that you should never underestimate the players’ abstract antics ability at any ti.

Just like how Chen Ba could never have guessed, soone would wash dishes day and night at a restaurant for a full ten years just to buy a house set in a ga...
