Chapter 769: 431 Chapter 769: 431 After reviewing his benefits package, Leon was silent for a long ti before he asked in the internal communication software, “How do I request leave?”
Xu Qingling: “We don’t have that system, do we?”
Leon: “You an, no one can take leave here?”
Xu Qingling: “No, it ans if you don’t feel like coming in, just let any colleague know. We don’t have an attendance system here, and you can even be away for a whole month if you want.”
Leon: “…No reasons asked?”
Xu Qingling: “The boss has said, if an employee doesn’t want to co to work, it must be the company’s problem, so there’s no need to ask for a reason. By the way, if there’s anything you want, you can also contact the boss directly. He’s always worried that the studio’s benefits aren’t good enough, and your opinions would be very helpful to him.”
Leon fell silent.
When he learned that leave was not an option here, he feared that this place was a sweatshop, where even becoming ash would an being turned into fertilizer to show up for work.
But now, it seed like this place was a good company indeed.
After a while, Xu Qingling asked, “Any other questions?”
Leon: “No, that’s all.”
Xu Qingling: “Alright, then I wish you a pleasant ti at work.”
If this had been any other company, that phrase would have carried the hollow hypocrisy of a corporate slave.
After all, going to work ans laboring away your life and soul for the boss, and selling your body and soul could never be pleasant.
But now, Leon actually felt that the statent was particularly fitting and realized that going to work could indeed be very pleasant.
Shaking his head lightly, Leon felt regret.
He regretted not coming here earlier for the sake of pride, wondering how much he had missed out on.
But now, it wasn’t too late, and he could still strive on.
Just as Leon was getting ready to start working, he noticed Xiao Douzi approaching from the side.
The other was tall and strong, whereas Leon was more on the skinny side.
Feeling the light above his head being blocked, he instinctively swallowed and asked, “Excuse , is there sothing you need?”
Xiao Douzi looked at Leon carefully and then asked, “What projects did you primarily handle at Druid Entertainnt?”
“Well, I was mainly the president’s assistant, but before becoming the assistant, I was involved in the production of ‘Frontline Mission 4,’ mainly in level design and narrative.”
Xiao Douzi imdiately lit up, then took out her notebook and said earnestly, “That’s my favorite installnt; I think its level design is nothing short of art. So, could you give an autograph?”
“I prefer the fifth one,” Monkey ca over and said, “I like the feel of it.”
“I’m all about the original,” Huang Ping joined in, “That one’s the classic.”
“Mr. Liu, you’re getting old, aren’t you? I heard old people like to play old gas.”
Watching his enthusiastic colleagues, Leon’s last bit of apprehension vanished.
He had thought his forr status as an employee of Druid Entertainnt might lead to his exclusion, but clearly, his colleagues here weren’t like that.
They were passionate about gas and showed no discrimination or dissatisfaction towards him.
No office politics, no scheming, and even during casual conversations, no one ca over to stop them; the atmosphere here was truly wonderful.
Half an hour later, the group finally finished chatting and went back to their work.
And Huang Ping told Leon where the ga docunts were, then pointed to the single rest room and said, “You should look over the docunts first. After that, you’ll take over the overseas operations for ‘Reincarnation Land.’ If you’re tired, take a break in there; no need to force yourself.”
“You’re giving such an important job right off the bat?” Leon was astonished.
“Yes, you’ll be handling the overseas operations from now on. Also, I must remind you…”
Huang Ping’s grave tone sent a shiver down Leon’s spine.
I knew it, high pay cos with high risk; there must be sothing here I’m not aware of.
Huang Ping, however, was looking seriously at Leon and said solemnly, “When you’re playing ‘Reincarnation Land,’ if you feel any discomfort, stop imdiately and head to the break room to watch so videos. We’ve experinted and found that watching cats and hamsters is the most stress-relieving. If you still feel off, just open the door, and Sanmiao will co in for you to pet for a while.”
“What kind of strange rule is this?”
Leon frowned, wondering if this was so kind of prank that the old employees played on the newcors.
This type of prank was quite common in North Arica; as long as it wasn’t overly excessive, the supervisor wouldn’t usually say anything.
“Believe , this is the experience we’ve sumd up over ti. Alright, get started.”
Opening the docunt sowhat perplexed, Leon spent the morning roughly browsing through the copy here, and then he found the ga quite interesting.
The docunt was written very formally, and it didn’t use any particularly difficult vocabulary, making it easy for the reader to get the hang of it and quickly understand how the ga is played.
The docunt was completed by several people, with involvent from the studio’s planners, but there was no significant personal bias while reading it, indicating that the planners here were all well-trained.
The ga industry has developed to this point as a highly industrialized industry; standardized docunts can significantly reduce reading and communication costs, greatly enhancing the efficiency of ga production.
Moreover, any feature of the ga could be implented with Fang Cheng’s help, no matter how outrageous the idea, which added to Leon’s impression of Fang Cheng.
A genius programr, a genius ga producer, with a keen eye for gas and tasteful ga aesthetics, no wonder Fang Cheng Studio could rise so quickly.
After reading the docunt, Leon was ready to start playing the studio’s new ga, ‘Reincarnation Land.’
This ga is the latest work of Fang Cheng Studio, but due to its excessive horror, it is currently not available for dostic release and has chosen overseas instead.
The ga’s content is quite mysterious, known only as a horror survival ga where players need to survive in an unknown area, scavenge for resources, and make it through long nights, praying for dawn to co.
Just from reading the docunt, Leon could imagine a dark, sinister world with no sunlight, no hope, where players’ every effort only extends their life, yet ultimately they cannot avoid being consud by darkness.
All sorts of monsters erge endlessly, and players can continue to obtain various resources in this place, but even using them for sustenance is problematic, let alone thinking about further developnt.
Leon had a very good imagination. Just by reading the ga docuntation, he could imagine the ga’s content and construct a rough idea of the ga in his mind.
It’s terrifying, interesting, and indeed it wouldn’t be easy to pass the review in Huaxia, but in North Arica, it could likely achieve high popularity.
Moreover, Fang Cheng Studio’s ga graphics have always been top-notch within the industry. Druid Entertainnt had even attempted to poach art talents from Fang Cheng Studio, offering a large reward for any lead on them.
Unfortunately, no one has claid that money so far.
So, there’s a rumor saying that the so-called art guru is Fang Cheng’s secret weapon, whom Fang Cheng has imprisoned in a secret place where they can only endlessly paint and model for Fang Cheng’s lavish use.
Others hold that Fang Cheng is the art guru himself, with all the content being drawn and modeled by him alone.
However, the credibility of this rumor isn’t high.
After all, being a genius programr already, if he could also handle art, then this person can’t just be called a gaming genius but would deserve the title of a godfather of gaming.
Pulling his wandering thoughts back, Leon started the ga.
He launched the ‘Reincarnation Land’ client, put on headphones, and the gloomy music started playing along with the grim ga graphics, pulling Leon into that mysterious place.
Staring at the screen, Leon silently began to experience the ga, and for fifteen minutes he didn’t make a single sound.
“Not bad for a newcor,” Huang Ping, hiding on the side, remarked. “To just sit and watch for fifteen minutes from the start, that’s so concentration.”
“As expected from a Druid Entertainnt employee, truly experienced and knowledgeable,” Xiao Douzi comnted.
Monkey felt sothing was amiss and couldn’t help saying, “Haven’t you noticed that he hasn’t touched the mouse or keyboard at all?”
“Maybe he’s thinking about sothing.”
“His eyes aren’t moving either!”
“Too focused, maybe.”
“And it seems like he’s stopped breathing…”
“…We need to save him!”
And so, Leon’s first day at the new company ended with him being scared into fainting.
