February 1, the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month.
It’s five o’clock in the afternoon, and there are still three hours left before the new product launch conference.
Magical City, No. 1 Canteen.
Ye Shuqing took his girlfriend Shi Na and found a place to have dinner in advance to prepare for the upcoming press conference.
Considering that he would also be on the press conference stage tonight to introduce the game "Miracle Continent" developed by his team, in order to avoid unexpected situations, Ye Shuqing randomly put in some light vegetarian dishes such as green vegetables, shredded potatoes, and tomato scrambled eggs.
, I didn’t prepare any high-end ingredients such as seafood, black pork, steak, etc. I just ate some simple food.
"Husband, are you going to go on stage in this casual outfit? Why don't you change into a more formal suit, that might be more appropriate."
Shi Na looked at her boyfriend affectionately and put forward her suggestions. At the same time, she felt full of pride and pride for having such a boyfriend.
Actually.
Shi Na, who has close to 8 points of good looks and quite the temperament of a goddess, originally had her biggest wish to successfully settle down in a first-tier city before she turned thirty and find a man who could afford to buy a house in a first-tier city to marry.
As for cars, deposits, etc., you can make do with it, as long as you can take root in first-tier cities.
She feels that her requirements are really not high and she is very pragmatic and not too ambitious.
but……
Until she was twenty-eight years old, she had been working hard in big cities for five or six years. She also spent a lot of money on blind date platforms, but all ended in failure. After all, houses in first-tier cities are worth three to four million, and some are five or six million.
Millions or even tens of millions, who can bear such a big risk and put the name of a country woman on the real estate certificate for the so-called love?
appropriate.
Shi Na had no choice but to obey her family's request and go back to her hometown for a blind date. There was an aunt who strongly recommended Ye Shuqing to her, saying that he was definitely the most valuable potential stock and asked her to try to get in touch with this young man and get along with him.
Shi Na didn't want to disgrace her aunt, so she met with Ye Shuqing. She learned about his situation and obtained this information: a monthly salary of less than 30,000, a car but no house, a deposit of more than 500,000, and a noble appearance.
However, he is more popular with her and has better conditions among all the blind dates, but he is definitely not the one to rely on.
Even among her spare tires and licking dogs, there are three or five whose potential exceeds Ye Shuqing's.
But Shi Na still planned to give Ye Shuqing a chance to see how his emotional intelligence was, whether he could make girls happy, and whether he had any romantic qualities.
As a result, after a few days of getting along, Shi Na was disappointed. Ye Shuqing was clearly a blockhead, and he spoke more straightforwardly. He always thought about his work, often fell into a trance, and completely ignored her feelings. It was just a job.
mad.
Shi Na was angry.
I don’t want to deal with this guy anymore. It’s better to find a good dog licker than this guy.
But when she saw this guy concentrating on thinking about the problem, getting excited from time to time, and occasionally dancing happily like a child, Shi Na felt that this guy was quite interesting, and he was so motivated at work, which just showed this
Men are very reliable and worthy of trust. It is better to observe him for a while to avoid harassment from other blind dates.
After this observation, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and I was about to go to work in the city.
Shi Na had just quit her last job, and the pressure of survival in big cities was very high. She couldn't save much money, but she was used to living in big cities and couldn't get used to living in a small place. It was time to break up with Ye Shuqing and express her feelings.
I'm sorry to say that they are not suitable for each other and Ye Shuqing cannot give her the life she wants.
"Come with me to the Magic City."
But Ye Shuqing took the initiative and said: "I still have a good impression of you. If you don't object, I will take you to my place of work and I will support you."
"You support me?"
Shi Na felt touched and funny, shook her head and said: "My requirements are not high, a house in a big city, no mortgage, I am willing to give birth to children for you, can you satisfy me?"
"The various hardware facilities in the Magic City are no worse than those in first-tier cities, or even better. Employees who have made outstanding contributions will be allocated free housing. They can bring their families to live there, including their girlfriends. They will also arrange jobs for their family members, with a salary of five
Six thousand a month, including food and accommodation, is no worse than someone who earns over ten thousand a month in a big city."
"No matter how good you brag, that magical city is just a large factory. How can it be compared to a big city?" Shi Na still shook her head.
"Seeing is believing. I will take you to live in the magical city for a week, no, three days. If you still want to leave after three days, I will never stop you. I don't know if you are willing to spend your precious three days.
, give us a chance?" Ye Shuqing asked.
"I don't……"
Shi Na wanted to say she didn't want to, but after getting to know each other during this period, she also had a little understanding of the Magical City. There was also a lot of news on the Internet. It was indeed a quite magical place. What's more, it was blown away by people.
The headlines are all over the place, such as the annual employee turnover rate is less than one in 10,000, the food in the cafeteria is the best in the world, and they even have abalone and king crab for dinner. This is extremely exaggerated, and at first glance, it seems to be fake news.
but……
Just three days.
How about going to experience it?
What if those things online are true?
Seeing is believing, if most of them are fake, you don’t need to stay for three days, you can leave after one or two days.
"Okay, I'll give you a chance."
Shi Na thought for a while and said, and it was this sentence that made her change her destiny. In the years to come, she felt lucky for this sentence many times, because at that time, she actually did not want to be so fast.
She was looking for a job and a house. Since there was a man willing to support her, she might as well give him a chance - this was what she thought at the time.
Then.
Sitting in Ye Shuqing's electric car, we arrived at the Magic City and moved into the 80-square-meter employee suite assigned to Ye Shuqing by the company. To be honest, the decoration was indeed very luxurious. With Shi Na's picky eyes, she couldn't find anything wrong with it.
But how can it be so easy to support a delicate woman?
For example, when it comes to eating, holy shit, the staff cafeteria in Magic City actually has big dishes like king crab, pine leaf crab, and lobster. Employees and their families can eat whatever they want, but not many people eat because it’s early.
I got tired of eating it, and the one that was always popular was organic rice... Well, in terms of food, Shi Na couldn't fault anything, and even the idea of hoping to stay in a big city began to arise in her mind.
shake.
For example, when it comes to buying clothes, a woman who likes to dress up will buy at least three to five sets of clothes every month. However, in the clothing supermarkets in the Magic City, those clothes with good quality, fashionable styles and good-looking clothes are only 30 to 51 cheaper.
The price of the most expensive woolen coat rarely exceeds 300. They are all sold at cost price, so that people can achieve the freedom of dressing by spending less money.
, Shi Na couldn’t find any fault with it either.
There are also 5G networks, hospitals, schools, gymnasiums, libraries, Internet cafes, cinemas, express stations and other supporting facilities. There are many, most of them are free, and the service level is also very good, no different from first-tier cities.
Only in the area of cosmetics, most of them have to be purchased out of pocket, and they cost two to three thousand per month.
However, with the help of Ye Shuqing, one week after moving into the Magic City, Shi Na was assigned a job that she was good at, with a monthly salary of 7k and 50 days of paid leave per year. Of course, she could also choose to have a monthly salary of 5k and 50 days of paid leave per year.
90 days of paid leave - Shi Na chose the one with a high salary, which was enough to cover her daily expenses, and she could still save half of it.
Cool.
It feels so good to work in this magical city.
Here there is a feeling of living, not surviving.
As for the three-day appointment, Shi Na had completely forgotten about it. Now, the only man in her eyes was Ye Shuqing. Those spare tire lickers in her mobile phone had all been blocked and deleted, and even her mobile phone number had been changed.
.
In the days that followed, Shi Na actually took the initiative to serve Ye Shuqing as a good wife and mother, caring for him and doing most of the housework. She became nothing like her original self.
no way.
Shi Na's current goal is to firmly take root in the magical city and become a part of it. It is best to get married to Ye Shuqing as soon as possible, obtain a certificate, and have a child. In this way, she can be allocated a bigger and better house.
Half of Ye Shuqing's salary will be transferred to her account, giving her more property rights. However, her current girlfriend's status is not stable and reliable. Once they break up (or divorce), she will not be allowed to continue to stay there.
Magic City, that is, Magic City, is very biased in protecting the interests of core employees. People who are not family members will naturally not enjoy family bonuses. This has been dissatisfied and protested by many boxers online.
So this is also the reason why Shi Na has become virtuous and hard-working. If she has a small conflict with Ye Shuqing, she will never dare to mention the word "breakup", otherwise she will only suffer the loss.
And in the Magic City, there are so many couples. After they quarreled and broke up, the woman who was kicked out regretted it so much that she knelt at the gate of the Magic City to apologize and beg to get back together. Countless girls even thought that
Of course, Shi Na also quickly curbed her petulant tendencies.
In addition, in private, Shi Na also joined a chat group called "Good Wife and Good Mother Tie the Heart of Men", where she often exchanged experiences, discussed how to become a good wife and good mother, and how to guard against the interference of a third party, etc., and learned
Gained a lot of knowledge.
In daily life, Shi Na has become more and more gentle and considerate. She has watched a lot of positive and beneficial chicken soup and resolutely resisted poisonous chicken soup. Therefore, her relationship with Ye Shuqing has become better and better. They have agreed to get the certificate on May 20 this year and will do it as soon as possible.
Want children.
As for Ye Shuqing, because the woman is gentle and sensible, and takes on most of the housework, he can put all his energy into his work, and finally achieves very good results - he led the team to develop the game "Miracle Continent"
》, not only entered the top 100 high-quality games, but even entered the top ten. With the overall third place, she was qualified to introduce the game on stage. This made Shi Na feel extremely proud. After all, this military medal
, more or less she deserves some credit.
Back to the present reality.
Ye Shuqing shook his head and said: "There is no need to change. If I wear a suit on stage, I will feel uncomfortable and nervous, and may not perform properly. It will not be easy to introduce the games I make. This will make me more relaxed."
"Husband, do you think our company's game console can be successful in the market? Can your game sell many copies?" Shi Na asked again.
"I don't know. I can only guarantee that the games I make will not disappoint people and will definitely be liked by players!"
Ye Shuqing said seriously.
"Well, I also believe in your husband. This time, the group can turn around and make a lot of money."
Shi Na nodded. She was living such a good life now. She really didn't want the group to lose money and go bankrupt. She must achieve profitability, develop better and better, and stand firm in the long term.
…
soon.
At 8 p.m., inside Magic City Stadium.
The press conference of [Classic Peak Game Console] finally started amidst a burst of exciting music.
Naturally, there are many netizens paying attention to this grand event in the technology circle. For example, the live broadcast channel of station B quickly attracted more than 100,000 viewers, wasting their precious time to watch this press conference.
.
Don't get me wrong, most of the viewers in the online live broadcast are trolls and black fans, with very few supporters.
Zhang Xiaofeng, who also paid attention to this press conference, noticed that remarks such as this appeared in the comment area and barrage:
"Liar company, die quickly!"
"The path of archaeological scientific research will not work. Consumers are not willing to eat the straw you create!"
"Last year you released a total of more than 50,000 TV sets. Even foreign customers stopped buying from you. The radio boom the year before last was just bad luck. I really thought I could continue to have good luck.
?”
"Haha, build a simple FC game console. Others have done it with free emulators. You can regain your feelings without spending a penny. Who will spend money to buy your outdated game console?"
"The total investment is close to 15 billion, just for a broken game console. Are you kidding me? Do you think we are fools? Spending up to 100 million is a lot of money. Some R&D teams can do it by giving them tens of millions. Magic Group
Are you using this method to defraud the loan subsidies provided by the state?"
"It's tricky. There must be a huge trick. You don't have to guess."
"When the game console product fails, the god-level group can make a dignified exit and disappear from the technology circle. We consumers do not need you. Your existence is completely redundant. Your products are a waste of resources."
, meaningless.”
"That's right, don't take up our attention and time anymore. Leeks are hard to cut, so you can really leave."
"..."
I see so many negative and unfavorable comments.
Zhang Xiaofeng didn't know how to comment, and it was even more difficult to understand what kind of evil things the Magic Group had done to attract so many online trolls. As a result, even though he wanted to say a few good words for the Magic Group, he didn't dare to speak out for fear of being attacked.
Trolls siege.
I can only block the barrages and focus my main attention on the launch of the [Classic Peak Game Console].
Four hours.
The entire press conference, from start to finish, was four hours long.
In the first hour, I introduced the features and performance of game consoles.
In the next three hours, ten of the best games were introduced.
After watching this rather long press conference, Zhang Xiaofeng became more and more excited. In the end, he had a strong resonance and was moved to tears.
Rise up.
Purely domestic game consoles finally rise!
That’s right, this classic Peak game console uses a 90-nanometer process for its core CPU and the fastest computing speed is only 8 million operations/second, which is extremely backward. But next to the core CPU, there are four graphics optimizations.
The chip, as well as four NPU smart AI chips, have strong AI computing capabilities, thus greatly improving the intelligence level during the game and making the game more intelligent.
In addition, a 500GB memory chip is integrated inside the host, which can save a large amount of game data for easy optimization. It supports manual and automatic archiving and game screen recording functions to preserve beautiful game memories.
Among the ten games released.
RPG character adventure games, sports games, strategy games, air combat games, tower defense games, casual games, love games, card games, etc. are available.
But each one is a high-quality product, each with its own characteristics, making people want to play it.
And because these games are basically games with pixelated characters and scenes, the level of picture refinement is greatly reduced, and the requirements for hardware are greatly reduced. There is no need to spend a lot of computing power on the textures of leaves and grass, the shapes of stones, and the reality of light-tracing scenes.
In terms of speed, there is no need to pursue 3A movie-level graphics, but focus on improving the playability and fun of the game.
For example, by increasing the richness and complexity of levels, you can set more difficulty gradients, and even allow players to cheat and experience the game.
Improve the combination of skills and add restraint mode, so there is no absolutely invincible equipment or skills.
It is no longer a pure traditional game mode where good guys destroy bad guys, but you can play different roles, such as playing the game as the devil, so as to enter the inner world of the villain.
Increase the area of the map, create an extremely huge different world, and design thousands of treasures for players to collect and explore. The empire territory that players build in the game can be as large as billions of square kilometers.
An intelligent random algorithm has also been added, so that the start of each game is randomly changed, NPCs can also be changed, the strongest boss may also appear in the Novice Village, etc. In short, players can find it even if they play tens of thousands of games.
A different feeling.
You'll never feel bored.
Finally, there are excellent sound effects, a game controller that is not easily damaged, and an anti-addiction mechanism.
In terms of selling price, the price of a game console is only 999 yuan, and the price of games ranges from 30 yuan to 99 yuan according to the size of the content. It is rare to have a conscience.
Want to buy.
I want to place an order immediately and buy a game console and several games.
Returning to the live video again, Zhang Xiaofeng was surprised to find that the number of viewers in the live broadcast room actually exceeded three million.
Turn on the barrage switch.
This time, the slanderous comments have basically disappeared, and the screen is full of voices like this:
"I cried. Finally, someone helped me realize my dreams and needs."
"I burst into tears, my long-lost feelings are back!"
"I want to apologize for my ignorance. I'm sorry. I see the sincerity of Magic Group. You are really making products with your heart!"
"I have been looking forward to such a domestic game console for more than 30 years, and finally a company has made it. Thank you, thank you!"
"Support the Magic Group!"
"The tens of billions of research and development expenses seem to be real. There are many black-tech intelligent algorithms in them, which are of great value even if they are applied to 3A masterpieces!"
"It's actually a brand new path to follow technological archeology but add a lot of innovation! As long as you do it with sincerity and heart, it's a path to success!"
"Damn it, I've long been fed up with those 3A masterpieces that only have more and more exquisite graphics, but are actually not interesting at all. [Classic Peak Game Console], I want to play it, and I will buy it right away!"
"Where is the purchase address? I want to place an order immediately!"
"My youth is back. Even if it's a pixel-style game, as long as it's interesting and fun, I'll be happy to buy it!"
“Place your order, place your order!”
"Damn it, there are only 20,000 units in the first batch, and they were all sold out in a few seconds. It's too late for me to start!"
