After the meeting ended, the game became a topic from another angle—not the benefits, not the differences in resurrection, but the event story script.
Many players, after experiencing this new storyline, noticed that the script no longer had riddlers or pretentious, stiff vocabulary. It read exceptionally smoothly.
Although there were no flashy or spectacular performances this time, the writing was already excellent. It also made up for many players’ regrets about previous character storylines and filled in many setting gaps.
When writing the event story, Yun Ziyu had asked Ling Cheng beforehand.
At the time, Ling Cheng was listless from the previous night’s battle and casually replied,
“If you write stories, you must know how to write stories. Stories just need to be engaging.”
Seeing Ling Cheng fall back into deep sleep, Yun Ziyu didn’t ask further. Instead, she carefully pondered his casually spoken words.
“If you write stories, you must know how to write stories…”
Yun Ziyu murmured this to herself repeatedly, when suddenly a flash of inspiration crossed her mind.
“Could it be that President Ling is telling us that current anime game scripts don’t even resemble stories anymore? Indeed, there’s all kinds of vague riddlers, putting on airs of profundity to avoid criticism.”
Feeling she had found a direction, Yun Ziyu immediately ran to the copywriting team and began discussing with them.
In previous years, the copywriting team had to deal with inspections from above and make the higher-ups think they were writing something impressive, so they loved to make things obscure and coin new terms.
But this time, since they were preparing for the finale, they needed to do an interesting callback to the story they had written before.
The writers also wanted to write according to their own hearts, to produce a work that they would be most satisfied with.
This time, Yun Ziyu even brought the boss’s instructions, so everyone wrote even faster. In less than three days, they actually finished writing those 50,000 words.
After all, this story that made up for the past had been brewing in their hearts for a very, very long time.
So long that they had nearly forgotten why they became game writers.
So writing stories could be enjoyable. They didn’t have to pad crazily to meet the demands from above.
This story, which poured the writers’ ultimate love for the entire game, received widespread praise and resonated with readers willing to engage with it.
So anime game text didn’t have to expand a simple sentence into a hundred-word parallel structure or argumentative essay.
To complete a character and shape his past, they didn’t need to write a long string of philosophical topics to show his depth; they could also display his charm.
And this praise for the storyline brought back more people and attracted more new players.
Originally, when the weekend ended and the workweek began, the game’s revenue and popularity would drop. But the game text made the game a hot topic again, and revenue continued to rise instead.
Ling Cheng looked at the soaring revenue data and became even more certain: the next game must be bigger and better, and they could no longer restrict themselves to making mini adult games.
So he called Yun Ziyu over, hoping to have a thorough discussion with her about the re-planning of the next game.
After all, mini adult games have a limited audience and limited channels. Their ceiling is right there.
Ling Cheng had originally considered the company’s tight finances and planned to make another eye-catching mini adult game to earn a good chunk of money.
But the great success of this anime game event forcefully changed his mind. Now the company had the strength to make a higher-quality game.
“President Ling, I understand what you mean. But if we want to expand the scale and redraft the plan for the next game…”
Yun Ziyu hesitated slightly, pausing her tone.
“We might need to recruit more people again.”
“After all, the old game has been revitalized. For the follow-up workforce, I estimate we’ll need to expand to 20-25 people, because we need to ensure new events every month and continue advancing the new main storyline.”
Yun Ziyu’s assumption was actually very conservative. It was based on the premise of rerunning one old event for every one or two new events.
“Indeed. The old game has just been revitalized. If we pull away a large number of members at this time, it will surely cause players to leave again.”
Ling Cheng also furrowed his brow slightly. This old game was now the company’s cash cow.
His original plan to transfer personnel to make the new game after this old game shut down had to be forcibly canceled.
“But recruiting new people will take quite a long time, and it’s another new cost.”
At this point, Yun Ziyu thought of something and couldn’t help laughing.
“Then my cute junior and senior students can handle some basic work. It’s very cost-effective. And there’s still a month until May. During that time, we can find some experienced veterans to join as the backbone.”
The junior students would never have imagined that the dragon slayer would become the dragon. Yun Ziyu, who had once been tricked into a black-hearted company by a Senior Student, was now leading this batch into the company.
But Yun Ziyu thought that the current company was led by Ling Cheng, and both the treatment and prospects were far beyond what she had before. That was why she considered her own juniors.
“Okay. This afternoon we can just discuss this properly. College students are a rare cost-effective labor force.”
After all, each one was a high-quality cheap labor force mentioned in textbooks, still harboring dreams and motivation in their hearts.
The two unknowingly discussed past the end of work. So focused on their conversation, they didn’t even notice the changing weather outside the window.
It wasn’t until the howling wind slapped against the window that Yun Ziyu finally glanced at her phone to check the time. She found it was 6 PM, already an hour past quitting time.
Because she lived in a remote area and today there were fierce winds, thunder, and lightning, Yun Ziyu planned to take a taxi home.
Ling Cheng had the same idea and hoped to hail a taxi home.
But things didn’t go as hoped. After nearly 30 minutes, still no driver accepted the order. Seeing the storm outside grow stronger, even reaching an orange gale warning,
Ling Cheng had to give up. Fortunately, the company had enough bread prepared, and there were some miscellaneous snacks left, plus a coffee machine for brewing coffee anytime.
So they didn’t have to worry about going hungry at night. It could be considered a blessing of employee benefits.
Ling Cheng used the company microwave to lightly heat a few decent-looking bread rolls, poured a couple of cups of coffee, and returned to the office, handing them to Yun Ziyu.
“Thanks.”
Yun Ziyu gladly accepted Ling Cheng’s kindness. When she took the bread from his hands, she couldn’t help her heart racing.
Yun Ziyu sipped her coffee in small sips while quietly eating the bread like a cat.
“When you’re trapped in the company by the storm and can’t go home, it’s good to have someone to accompany you.”
Yun Ziyu said looking out the window, unable to help sighing.
Ling Cheng also nodded in agreement. At this moment, he was sending a message to his girlfriend, An Xin, to ease her worries.
As for An Xin, she actually already knew long ago.
After finishing today’s comic, she spent her time watching the newly placed surveillance camera.
Now An Xin’s gaze was extremely terrifying, fixedly staring at Yun Ziyu.
‘This woman cannot stay by A Chen’s side. Absolutely not!’
