David: "I'm also going to the Maldives for the annual meeting next year."

Lin Li: "There's no need to wait until next year; you can join Xinghuo now."

David: "..."

Dawei was already speechless after being teased.

What made him even more speechless was that some bastard media outlet took a screenshot of this comment and posted it online.

It was accompanied by the bizarre headline, "Shocking! miHoYo founder intends to join Spark Entertainment."

This forced David to make a phone call to his other two founders during the Chinese New Year to explain the situation.

That's really bad luck.

However, it is said that because of this incident, Dawei set his goals for next year at miHoYo's annual meeting.

"Make money, make money to go to the Maldives!!"

Chapter 158 Yu Zhong Sets Off Again

After these employees returned to their home countries.

Greetings from relatives and friends arrived as promised.

You went to the Maldives!?

"Company annual meeting."

"Your company's annual party is in the Maldives!!"

"Yes, it is."

Such conversations would basically continue throughout the holiday when this group of people went home for the Chinese New Year. At first, the employees at Xinghuo found it quite novel, but after everyone asked the same question...

Many people are already regretting why they posted on WeChat Moments in the first place...

But no matter what.

Many people feel for the first time that they are indeed working for an awesome company.

The envy of every friend and relative is an affirmation of their work.

Don't underestimate these details.

When everyone in a group feels that they are on the right track, it has a significant impact on the overall atmosphere of the company and the resulting increase in efficiency.

November 31st

Big Year

There's still a long time until the Spring Festival holiday.

But Su Shanshan has already returned to Shanghai from her hometown.

Lin Li also returned with her.

The two gave the same explanation regarding their family situation: they needed to work overtime at the company.

Whether or not they'll work overtime... only God knows.

Anyway, on his first day back in Shanghai, Lin Li took Su Shanshan out to play.

After another day of crazy fun.

The two returned home.

It's often said that travel can accelerate relationships, and that's absolutely true.

A few days down.

The already ambiguous relationship between the two became even more ambiguous.

First they held hands, then it was a natural kiss. At first, it was a light, fleeting touch, but it quickly turned into a frantic demand.

It's another night.

The two returned home after a day of fun and washed up.

Su Shanshan naturally leaned against Lin Li.

Lin Li naturally moved closer as well.

The pleasure released by dopamine swept through her body, making Su Shanshan's body instantly hot.

Although she wrote countless erotic novels.

But as the saying goes, "What you learn from books is never enough; you must put it into practice to truly understand."

It's really comfortable.

From the initial fleeting touch to now, in just one or two days, Su Shanshan was no longer satisfied. She reached out and hooked her arm around Lin Li's neck, then pressed her lips against his again.

Lin Li, momentarily stunned by the sudden turn of events, quickly realized...

My chance has come.

The next day

When the sun shines into the room.

Lin Li glanced at Su Shanshan, who was sleeping next to him.

He stretched himself lazily.

That feels good, that feels good.

Then he sat up.

After this little incident...

The relationship between the two was basically settled.

Lin Li then remembered that he had returned to Shanghai ahead of schedule because he had something to do.

Oh...right.

It's a prequel to Battlefront Girls.

This way, we can get right to work on the project after the New Year and focus all our efforts on catching up on the schedule...

Regarding the gameplay of Girls Frontline Prequel.

Lin Li actually had a plan.

The plot outline has been clarified, and the gameplay is a strategy game.

In fact, Girls' Frontline 2's gameplay is also based on XCOM 2.

When this news first came out, many players said that XCOM 2 was not suitable for mobile games.

But Lin Li doesn't see it that way.

It's not that XCOM2 is unsuitable, but rather that Yu Zhong didn't copy it correctly.

Even with a perfect score on the exam, they still failed.

In Girls' Frontline 2, Yu Zhong cut many of XCOM 2's basic mechanics in order to make the game more pay-to-win.

In Lin Li's view, this was putting the cart before the horse.

When you're making a game, you should first think about how to make it fun.

Then, based on that, we can think about how to spend money in-game.

Lin Li was a big fan of the game XCOM 2 in his previous life.

So at first, Lin Li was quite excited when he saw that Girls' Frontline 2 copied XCOM 2.

result..

Forget it, just don’t mention it.

When it came to Lin Li himself.

When I wanted to create a strategy game, XCOM 2 was the first thing that came to mind.

However, in Girls' Frontline Prequel.

Completely porting the gameplay of XCOM 2 is obviously unrealistic.

On one hand, the core characters of Girls Frontline Prequel are the protagonist and 95.

It's obviously impossible to directly port the XCOM 2 battle system using only two characters.

But, conversely...

Because there are only two controllable characters, there are also many new mechanics that can be created, which may allow players to more clearly feel the charm of strategy games.

~~~

Time flies.

It's mid-April now.

The first quarter of 2017.

It was supposed to be a peaceful time.

Although anime-style mobile games became very popular in 16 and a lot of capital entered the market, game development takes time, but most of the releases were concentrated in the second half of 17.

Manjuu Network's *Azur Lane*, Shanda's *Kamitsuki*, NetEase's *A Certain Magical Index*, Seasun Games' *Girls Cafe Gun*, and Bilibili's *Puella Magi Madoka Magica* and *Kamishiro Yumekatan*.

These are all games that were launched in the second half of 17.

Therefore, the first quarter of 17 was actually quite boring for many anime and manga fans.

It happened in this peaceful April.

Yu Zhong stepped forward.

They started doing something funny.

He didn't appear on Stan's show this time, after all, Stan isn't stupid, he won't let you take advantage of him all the time.

However, Yu Zhong doesn't need to appear on Stan's show.

This time, he has someone backing him up.

They were featured on a promotional program for Tencent Games.

In the video, Yu Zhong is all smiles, talking at length about the sincerity behind the remake of Bakery Girl.

"We've made extensive graphics upgrades to the game, and also adjusted the storyline, which we believe will definitely surprise players."

"At the same time, we have also launched a mobile app, so players can experience the fun of Bakery Girl anytime, anywhere."

The hosts on Tencent Video also put in a lot of effort.

Ask questions one by one according to the topics in the script.

These are all common marketing and promotion issues.

As long as you answer them one by one, it's unlikely that anything unexpected will happen.

But Yu Zhong is still Yu Zhong.

When the host asked about the creative concept behind the first work.

He replied to the host directly like that.

"The core of 'Bakery Girl' is actually the combination of a girl and guns. We came up with this idea in 08, and after that, we gradually built up the world view."

"Later, the concept of 'girl guns' was gradually perfected and eventually formed the world view of Girls' Frontline."

Having said that, everything is actually within the normal range.

But then, Yu Zhong, whether he got carried away or something, started to change the subject.

"After this worldview was formed, it wasn't just us using it; other companies were using it too, just like how Kantai Collection (KanColle) was followed by KanColle R."

The host is also brainless.

They didn't even realize it and added a sentence.
