I can’t help but be nervous! After finding out who had approached them, Chu Yan couldn’t have imagined it in his wildest dreams.
That famous Queen Dong in Linzhou, esteed even in Jianghai, was leagues above them. The difference was like heaven and earth; they simply weren’t in the sa world. What surprised them even more was that Queen Dong wasn’t the ultimate person behind wanting to find them. The person looking for them turned out to be this currently renowned figure in Linzhou.
Although Chu Yan hadn’t watched this year’s Breeder competition, after receiving a phone call late the previous night, he and his small team of four had hastily cramd information about it. Naturally, they now understood the significance of what the owner of Heart of Woods represented.
In the outside world, countless people were waving checks with eight or nine-figure sums, desperate for Breeder Su to help cultivate a Pet Beast for them. So, what could this prominent figure possibly want with them, a group of nobodies?
It wasn’t just Chu Yan who thought this way. A young planner next to him asked curiously, "Boss, what on earth does Breeder Su want with us?"
"How would I know? Cut the chatter. Who can guess what such a big shot is thinking?" Chu Yan said, keeping his thoughts to himself.
In the anti, a slightly chubby, round-faced youth nearby speculated, "Breeder Su isn’t that old. Could he be an internet addict like us? Maybe he likes one of our studio’s gas and wants us to open a backdoor for him, tweak so drop rates or sothing?"
Chu Yan rolled his eyes at him. How could such an important figure be so trivial?
"With Breeder Su’s achievents at such a young age, how could he possibly be addicted to gas?" Chu Yan retorted. "At most, he might play them occasionally to pass the ti when bored. Stop spouting nonsense and just wait patiently."
They didn’t have to wait too long. Soon enough, the door opened, and a young figure they had seen on TV appeared before them. Who else could it be but Su Ping?
"Breeder Su."
They all stood up together.
Su Ping smiled and quickly gestured for them to sit, then joined them. "The professionals from Star Vault Entertainnt, right? Sorry to trouble you by making you co all this way."
"It’s no trouble at all! It’s an honor and a privilege to et you, Breeder Su," Chu Yan eagerly flattered.
Su Ping didn’t have ti for idle chit-chat. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he got straight to the point, "You professionals are probably very curious about my intentions, right? It’s actually quite simple. I just want to ask you to help plan a ga."
"Plan a ga?"
For their profession, it seed unlikely there would be anything else. However, the idea of making a ga didn’t seem to fit with the young man before them.
Chu Yan thought for a mont and asked, "Breeder Su, what kind of ga are you talking about? Mobile gas, PC gas? What genre? MMO, card, role-playing single-player, real-ti strategy, life simulation, FPS, or what?"
Su Ping had no idea what these technical terms ant. Scratching his head, he replied, "I don’t need you to use any platform. Just focus on the planning and art design; don’t worry about operations. Just construct the entire ga frawork, its settings, and its nurical values—that will be enough!"
The group exchanged glances, even more perplexed and doubtful. Just a ga proposal? But what’s the use of just a proposal?
However, their client wasn’t an ordinary one. Chu Yan didn’t even ask about conditions or remuneration; he agreed right away, "Sure, just tell us what you require!"
"The main requirent is simplicity!" Su Ping stated. "Of course, the ga must also be enjoyable. However, it should primarily focus on battling monsters. There’s no need for an elaborate plot, character designs, or epic storylines—a straightforward ga centered on fighting monsters and leveling up will suffice."
Su Ping himself had no interest in such gas. For him, this was all for Feifei’s ditation thod. According to Feifei’s explanation of the ditation thod, as long as one fought monsters and leveled up in the ga, a Beast Tar would naturally gain spiritual power. That alone would be sufficient.
But such vague conditions left the group visibly troubled. They weren’t actually afraid of nurous requirents; in fact, more requirents often led to a clearer frawork. A project with just one vague requirent like ’simple’ was actually more troubleso.
However, their concerns vanished in the next second.
"If I adopt your creative concept, and both the planning and art design et the standard, you’ll receive 30 million in cash," Su Ping continued. "Furthermore, any future ga updates based on your planning will be compensated at the sa rate! If you do a good job, there will be additional bonuses. Even if I don’t end up using your proposal, your efforts won’t go uncompensated."
Thirty million? That was 30 million in actual cash, not the kind of monthly salary earned working for soone else.
What did it an to be truly wealthy and generous? Chu Yan felt that for a client like this, he’d almost feel uneasy taking the money unless the final product went through hundreds of revisions and was ticulously polished over three to five years. It was just as the old saying goes: empty talk is useless. As long as the pay was good enough, anyone would work themselves to the bone for you.
Forcing people to work overti without pay was the despicable behavior of exploitative capitalists. Su Ping, on the other hand, was purely engaging their professional skills and ti with money. Of course, if Su Ping paid them well but they still failed to et his standards, then there wasn’t much Su Ping could do about it.
In truth, this is really difficult, Su Ping thought. Simply grinding monsters and leveling up, yet keeping players engaged and enthusiastic for a long ti... I can’t manage that. If such a ditation thod is boring, forget others, even I might not be able to stick with it. But isn’t it precisely because I can’t do it that I’m willing to pay professionals to do it?
"Breeder Su, rest assured!" Chu Yan promised excitedly. "Even if we work ourselves bald, our team will deliver a plan that satisfies you!"
However, Su Ping shook his head. "It’s not about satisfying . It’s about satisfying it."
Su Ping stretched out his hand, revealing a continuously rotating spherical object.
"Huh?"
Several people were stunned. Then, the sphere began to speak, "Hello there. I’m my master’s chanical Pet Beast. You can call Feifei."
Uh...
The group was taken aback. Is this chanical sphere the real client? So, Breeder Su is commissioning a ga for a chanical Pet Beast to play? That’s just too extravagant!
Su Ping glanced at his phone and then yawned. "Alright, that’s the gist of it. You can add Feifei as a friend and discuss the details with it. Naturally, I’ll still need to review the final product. Also, ideally, please have the basic plan ready before the New Year."
Before the New Year? Isn’t there only about half a month left? To co up with sothing in such a short ti... It’s not impossible, but the quality definitely won’t be as refined.
But what else could they say? The one who pays is the boss, they thought, even if this particular client feels a bit surreal.
After giving his instructions, Su Ping paid them no further mind. The secrets within the Heart of Dreams were already an unimaginably significant matter to others. After all, it was an incredibly precious, self-created ’ditation thod.’ For Su Ping, however, it was just one more thing on his plate.
He was juggling many matters far more important than this. With that thought, Su Ping, holding his phone, saw Lao Guan waiting outside the reception room.
Su Ping blinked. "What’s up?"
"Xiao Ping," Lao Guan began, "do you rember that Fla-Eating Crow from last ti?"
Hmm? Su Ping’s eyes lit up.
He certainly rembered it, and with crystal clarity. He’d even offered a precious Elf Leaf but still hadn’t managed to keep the little creature. If it weren’t so close to the New Year, Su Ping would have already started planning the construction of an aviary for future bird-raising.
"What about it?"
"The little guy ca back!" Guan Qianshan smiled, but his expression soon turned odd. "Not only that, but this ti, it seems the Fla-Eating Crow has brought you a gift."
"Hmm?" Su Ping blinked. "Let’s go take a look."
