Chapter 74 Solid gold trophy!


    Soon, "Fire Thief" entered an intensive development state.


    The development time of this game is tentatively scheduled to be two months, with another half month of testing time reserved.


    ? ? If only in terms of game functions, "Fire Thief" is the most difficult game developed by Nitiantian Studio.


    This construction system alone would take at least half a year if it were developed entirely by oneself.


    But fortunately, construction games are a relatively mainstream game category, and there are many related templates on the official platform.


    ??After careful selection, Gu Fan chose the most expensive simulation construction game template currently, priced as high as 750,000!


    ?Although the price is high, it is also worth the money.


    ?This set of templates is very powerful, allowing players to change various voxels in the construction at will, accurate to every small square, and even sculpt some special buildings by hand just like "Minecraft".


    ?For example, Chinese-style bracket architecture, or even sculptures of different styles, etc.


    ?Of course, the specific shape of what can be built depends on the level of the players.


    ?However, even if these templates are applied, the game "Fire Thief" still needs to produce a lot of content, and the two-month development time is still quite tight.


    ??However, there is no dissatisfaction among the employees of Nitiantian Games. Many people even feel that the development progress is too slow and it can be faster!


    They can’t wait for the new game to be launched and get double bonuses!


    ??Feng Hui even wanted to move the camp bed at home to build a floor in the company. It seemed that he was determined to win the first level of the next bonus.


    But Gu Fan still stopped him.


    The main reason is that cafes are not open at night, and they are not allowed to stay up all night!


    Later, Feng Hui found a way. He directly moved his laptop home to write code!


    ? Many times at night, Gu Fan would turn on his computer on a whim before going to bed, and he would see Feng Hui or Zhao Haiquan submitting new code. When I count the progress of the project every morning, there are always some surprises.


    ? And this kind of overtime work is not the same as overtime work in ordinary companies.


    ??Overtime work in general companies is basically a waste of time, and the actual output efficiency of employees is not much higher than that of normal commuting.


    ??However, all the overtime work at Nitiantian Games is truly voluntary and effective overtime work by employees. Coupled with the blessing of work attitude, the development progress has indeed been greatly improved compared to "The Legend of Destiny Wolong"!


    After all, who doesn’t want to be like Zhao Haiquan and get a bonus of 188,000 yuan directly!


    ? Many Internet companies strictly prohibit the exchange of salary information among employees. The reason is also very simple, because most of these companies have "salary inversion". Once employees exchange salary information with each other, it is likely to cause the resignation of some old employees.


    ??However, the game Nitian does not have these problems at all. The salary is basically open and transparent and will not be deliberately concealed.


    So everyone is clearly aware that they are shareholders rather than employees of Nitiantian Games.


    After all, a specific proportion of dividends can be paid out every month based on the company’s actual revenue. What is this but a shareholder?


    ?At this time, all the employees of Nitiantian Games have only one idea, and that is to shed their blood for Mr. Gu!


    ?Of course, everyone also raised some objections to this design draft. For example, it is obviously a survival and construction game, but it does not allow players to build freely at all? No matter how you look at it, this is a setting that has been kicked in the head by a donkey!


    But regarding this, Gu Fan still had the same attitude as before: don’t explain, just figure it out yourself!


    Anyway, this design draft is given to you, not for your comments, but for you to act accordingly.


    ?In this way, with all the staff working hard, the development progress of "Fire Thief" is very optimistic, and it may even be completed ahead of schedule!


    …


    …


    September 1st, Sunday, 7pm.


    An hour later, at 8 o''clock tonight, "The Fire Thief" will be officially released!


    Compared with the original plan of "two months for development and another two weeks for testing", the actual development progress is much more optimistic, shortening the development time by half a month.


    Of course, not a single day was spared during the two weeks required for testing.


    This is simply a fantasy for many game companies.


    Even if programmers are forced to work crazy overtime, it would be good if the program is not delayed. How can it be advanced?


    But the development progress of the game Nitiantian is so incredible!


    ??Gu Fan has prepared various snacks, potato chips and drinks in advance and placed them in the living room.


    ??If this game can continue to be popular, it’s almost time to move on to another place to live!


    ?Sure enough, the rare BOSS Lilith was refreshed at five minutes past 7 o''clock.


    She was very satisfied when she saw the mountain of snacks and drinks on the small table in front of her. She lay down on the massage chair with ease, took the remote control from Gu Fan, and turned on the live broadcast software of the projector.


    ?As soon as you open it, you will enter the Chen Tingquan live broadcast room where you exited last time by default.


    "Good treasure friends, this baby is very open, very open door, but just use nothing, just keep playing, you can''t earn energy." Hey? Friends, wait a moment, there is a knock on the door. "


    ?Chen Tingquan stood up and opened the door, and came back a moment later.


    “Hey? Let’s not look at treasures today. I received a gift. Strange, where did the gift come from?


    “Friends, please don’t talk nonsense. This is not a gift given by a cheater. This is a live broadcast room with positive energy. Please don’t talk nonsense.


    “Huh? It was sent by Nitiantian Games?


    “Oh! That’s right, I promised you that there would be gifts for clearing “The Legend of Destiny Crouching Dragon”!”


    …


    Lilith almost forgot about this incident, she looked at Gu Fan subconsciously.


    ??Gu Fan quickly explained: "Mr. Li, isn''t this the standard you set at the beginning? A small gift of 20 yuan for each player who passes the level. Chen Tingquan, as the number one war criminal, gave him a special gift.


    “We carefully selected and carefully made it, and then specially requested it from the courier company, and it was delivered today.


    “This is all to make “Fire Thief” gain higher popularity and attention in the early stage!”


    Lilith nodded: "Well, yes, that''s the case."


    After all, it was money from her own coffers. Lilith quickly recalled it and turned to look at the projection screen, preparing to see Chen Tingquan''s reaction after receiving the gift.


    …


    ?? Chen Tingquan was unpacking the box in front of the camera in the live broadcast room while sharing his "glorious deeds" with his friends.


    "Maybe some newcomers don''t know that this game was so scolded back then! Professor Ding even risked his life and fortune and wouldn''t download it unless he couldn''t pass the level. In the end, it was me who turned the tide. The building was already falling, but the building was about to collapse! Discovering the core mechanism of "Wolong Ce Nesting" not only saved the game''s reputation, but also saved Professor Ding''s life.


    “Speaking of which, Xiao Ding should treat me to a meal.”


    ??Chen Tingquan showed off while opening the express delivery.


    ?Happy friends in the live broadcast room also posted comments one after another.


    “I have received it! A clearance medal and a certificate. They are quite exquisite. I think the cost must be more than ten yuan.”


    “Only a dozen yuan?”


    "Otherwise? This game only costs you 98 yuan in total, and the official platform has to take a commission and deduct taxes. Do you want the manufacturer to give you money to give you gifts, right? It would be nice to have a medal worth more than ten yuan!"


    “There is even a clearance certificate, which is quite cool. People who don’t know it would think it is so difficult to clear the game.”


    “If you have the ability, try to clear the level without using [Wolongce Nesting].”


    “That’s the core mechanism of the game, why not use it? If you have the ability, you can become a ski champion without using skis.”


    “That’s a BUG!”


    “Nonsense, that’s the core mechanism!”


    Seeing that the barrage was about to start a quarrel, Chen Tingquan quickly took out the contents of the express box.


    “Hey? Friends, why is my gift different from what you said?


    “Is this a golden trophy? It’s still shaped like Zhuge Liang’s feather fan. Huh? This is quite interesting.


    “Gold-plated? No, why does it feel so heavy? Press your hands.


    “Wait a minute, isn’t this... pure gold?


    “This is really pure gold, with a certificate!”


    ?? Chen Tingquan was stunned. As a professional treasure appraisal anchor, he was certainly familiar with gold. He could roughly determine whether it was gold by touching and weighing it. With the accompanying certificate, it becomes even clearer.


    “This game against heaven actually gave me a solid gold trophy??”


    ?This trophy is not big, that is, it is very small in the palm of your hand. Although it is made of pure gold, it is not particularly expensive. It should cost 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.


    But as a gift from a game company to players, this thing is outrageous enough!
