Chapter 57: The finishing touch
When he thought of this, Ma Baolin was amazed.
Thinking about the games I made before, although they were implemented in accordance with all the requirements of Mr. Lai, and I felt that the content was in line with what Mr. Lai had in mind, I always felt that something crucial was missing.
To be honest, Ma Baolin also asked other employees to play the original game. Everyone felt very bad after playing it. After all, no matter how you choose, the final ending is a tragic game. Who would like it!
In the eyes of most people, achievement bonuses are just a gimmick to prevent players from yelling at the company.
But after Mr. Lai made these changes, everything became different.
The addition of the "recharge" system seems to hand over the switch of game difficulty to players.
Should we stay in the comfort zone, choose to reduce the difficulty of the game, and recharge to experience the life of the rich; or should we step out of the comfort zone and see the rainbow without going through wind and rain?
The most important thing is that when the second game is discovered by players, players will truly realize that this game is more than just a game.
Players who choose to forge ahead will laugh at players who choose to take shortcuts. This is an inevitable phenomenon!
When the two waves of players are quarreling with each other, the emergence of the third type of player ending will push the incident to its climax.
When the first and second types of players become losers, 99.99% of people will start to think about the meaning of this game, the meaning of life and happiness.
In this way, "Life Simulator" becomes a game that truly makes players think about life!
"Mr. Lai is indeed Mr. Lai!"
"A couple of random changes are the finishing touch!"
"I originally thought I could understand Mr. Lai's intention, but now it seems that I haven't even touched the tip of the iceberg!"
Ma Baolin was completely convinced and deeply felt that the gap between people could be so huge.
It turns out that when I worked with Mr. Lai, I felt that I was just as underappreciated as Mr. Lai. Now it seems that I have too much to learn from Mr. Lai.
Thinking about it, Ma Baolin was filled with gratitude that Lai Yiming pushed himself to the position of general manager despite all the opposition.
This gratitude is not gratitude for the position and salary increase, but gratitude for being able to deeply study Mr. Lai’s thinking.
Of course, gratitude is gratitude and admiration is admiration. Ma Baolin still has his own thoughts on some specific matters.
For example, instead of choosing the confession of the "Happiness" gifted intelligent AI character, Er Zhoumu decided to dub it himself.
Although, there must be very few players in this third category, and they may not even appear for a long time.
But Ma Baolin felt that this was a sign of respect, respect for those who persisted until the end.
Of course, it would be best for this person to appear as early as possible and spark heated discussions.
If it appears too late, it is very likely that the first and second categories of players will start a war of words on the Internet, which will have an extremely negative impact on the reputation of Xunhong Games.
"Mr. Lai, I must have thought about it at this level, but he still hid the final ending so well, which shows that he doesn't care at all about the scolding that will happen online."
"Moreover, after players discovered the channel for the second cycle online, the knock-on effect was that they would definitely not spend any money on the game in the first cycle, which also shows that Mr. Lai did not want to make money at all."
"A game that doesn't care about fame or money...just for the third ending to be discovered by players after a few months, or even years, to trigger thoughts about life."
"Sure enough, Mr. Lai is a real game producer."
Ma Baolin couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Other game designers will try their best to cater to the players, use the weakness of human nature to take shortcuts to cheat players, and use some boring rankings to waste players' time, but Mr. Lai is just the opposite, he is like a performance artist
, with such a game that is comparable to art, it reminds players to spend less money on games, cherish their lives, and not waste it.
Moreover, he doesn’t care about money and even spends money on players out of his own pocket!
This can be seen from the distribution ratio of 2:8 in the game mall "Talent".
While countless game manufacturers are still analyzing human nature and how to cheat people, Mr. Lai has already stood in the atmosphere of the entire industry and considered what kind of thinking and changes games should bring to people.
In other words, in Mr. Lai’s view, games are not a tool for the company to attract money, but rather a social educational tool!
It’s no wonder that Mr. Lai said before that he didn’t want to hand over the agency rights of “Talent” to other companies.
By giving it to these companies, Mr. Lai didn't suffer any loss. He directly received 10 million, and it also enhanced the game's ability to attract money. However, after vigorous publicity by these companies, the most likely consequence is that another group of Internet-addicted teenagers will be born.
Cause extremely bad social impact.
Therefore, Mr. Lai decisively refused!
This is the realm of Mr. Lai!
Ma Baolin wiped the wet spots from the corners of his eyes and was instantly full of energy!
Although he cannot reach the height of Mr. Lai, he must follow Mr. Lai's example, improve his position, and become a leader respected and followed by the company's employees!
…
At this time, on the 18th floor of Anshi Apartment, Ma Baolin's good role model Lai Yiming was lying on the sofa wrapped in a blanket and watching TV out of boredom, feeling the urge to hit someone.
What the hell is going on with this weather!
It’s already spring, but the weather is getting colder and colder!
Fortunately, Anshi Apartment has its own central air-conditioning system. Like an ordinary family, in such cold weather, without heating, wouldn’t they freeze to death?
By the way, didn’t the company buy a lot of non-seasonal supplies?
Give your employees some benefits!
Thinking of this, he took out his mobile phone and sent Lin Mengxin a message.
"We will make a cold-proof subsidy, customize a set of cold-proof clothing for everyone, and share with everyone the winter supplies we prepared before."
"Well, it's almost time to get to work. If it's too cold... just shut it down for two days."
Lin Mengxin immediately went to make arrangements.
Lai Yiming felt extremely happy at the thought of losing money again!
At this time, Lin Mengxin's message came back.
"Mr. Lai, Mr. Zhao has already implemented your request. He said that there will be a huge cold wave in the next two months. Mr. Lai, please pay attention to your health and don't catch a cold."
Lai Yiming is very happy, look, these are my employees, how considerate!
Lin Mengxin sent another message: "One more thing, Mr. Lai. Mr. Zhao said that the mobile app of "Fruit Ranch" has almost been developed. He wants to add a function of growing vegetables in the game and delivering them in real time. Do you think it can be done?
?”
"According to him, this function is just a small idea of his. The purpose is to strengthen communication between offline customers. When it is popular, supermarkets will suffer a certain loss. After all, it is a free gift."
When Lai Yiming heard the word "free gift", he didn't think much about it at all. After listening to Secretary Lin's words, he replied straight away.
Chapter completed!
