They wanted to make a trashy game, but how come it sold like hotcakes again?

Chapter 21 Hangover

Tang She opened his eyes, still feeling a bit of a headache.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if trying to expel all the hangover.

I sat up and looked around. What came into view was warm-colored wallpaper, a soft bed, and an unfamiliar room.

Where am I?

Could it be that we traveled through time?

The splitting headache slowed my brain down by more than one level.

Just then, the phone on the bedside table lit up. Tang She picked it up; it was a message from his senior.

I left breakfast on the table for you. Remember to eat it when you wake up.

New leads have emerged.

The hazy memories began to return.

Last night, my senior's cousin made me drink a lot of alcohol.

At that time, Tang She was completely out of his mind, and the senior student couldn't find where his apartment was, so she simply took him back to her own home.

I pushed open the door and entered the living room; the room was empty.

Tang She wandered around for a while before finally finding the kitchen, where a bowl of porridge, an egg, and a dish of pickled vegetables were laid out on the table.

There was a note under the bowl of porridge.

"If you're still hungry, there's more in the rice cooker. If you don't like the food, there's milk and bread in the fridge. Remember to heat it up yourself. I have something to do and I'm going out."

This made Tang She feel that his hangover wasn't so bad anymore.

After thinking about it, he finally decided to call his senior to express his gratitude.

The phone rang twice and was quickly answered.

Ren Wei, on the other end, didn't give Tang She a chance to speak and directly said:

"Xiao She, you're awake! I've put breakfast on the table, remember to eat it."

Tang She sensed something was amiss.

At the company, my senior colleague always called me Xiao Tang, just like everyone else, but today she suddenly started calling me Xiao She.

It seems like they've run into someone checking up on them.

However, since they hadn't discussed the script beforehand, Tang She didn't know what to say. The more he said, the more mistakes he would make, so he decided to keep quiet, say a few words, and hang up.

"Hmm, I just woke up. You must have had a hard night. What would you like for lunch? I'll make it for you."

Tang She reacted quickly as expected. Ren Wei glanced silently at her cousin across the table and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's still those old geezers trying to force you to drink. If you're not feeling well, don't bother with those things. I ate out for lunch. After you finish eating, go back to bed and rest for a while, then take a nap. I'll go back early tonight and bring you something delicious."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Ren Wei turned her phone upside down on the table and then rolled her eyes at her cousin.

"Listen, listen, listen! Your ears are so long, haven't you heard enough?"

Ren Ya was puzzled by the speculations made by everyone yesterday.

Wasn't it all an act? How come they're living together now? It sounds pretty sweet.

However, he was too lazy to investigate further; it didn't matter if it was fake, the real one would be better.

Now he needs to help his sister resolve some career issues.

"Don't you want him to give you some advice?"

Ren Wei waved her hand, declining her cousin's suggestion.

"You guys fed him so much yesterday, he's feeling really unwell right now, so he won't have any good suggestions. Besides, I've always been in charge of operations, so why don't you just tell me what you want to do?"

Ren Ya pushed the proposal that his secretary had rushed out this morning to Ren Wei and asked:

Did you watch Gangbeng's live stream last night?

Ren Wei flipped through the project proposal, her brows furrowing slightly. Perhaps because she was used to seeing Tang She's proposals, she found this one utterly unpleasant to look at. Finally, she simply stopped reading. She tossed the proposal aside and looked up at Ren Ya.

"I was busy taking care of him after I got home yesterday. I was so tired after putting him to sleep that I just fell asleep myself. What's wrong?"

In fact, Ren Wei didn't even know who Gang Beng was, let alone watch his live stream. But hearing what Ren Ya said, what happened yesterday might have been quite serious.

"Simply put, Gangbeng got into an argument with you guys over the game and the comments, and he's on your side."

"Really? Well, he has a good eye for talent."

Ren Ya shook his head upon hearing this. His younger sister had always been quite humble since childhood, so why did she change when it came to games?

"However, the comments section couldn't stand his insults. This incident has become quite a hot topic, so our live streaming platform decided to ride this wave of popularity."

Ren Wei tilted her head, wondering how to capitalize on this trending topic.

"Didn't your Plants vs. Zombies game come with a level generator? Let's use that to create an event."

Ren Wei was taken aback when she heard this. She didn't expect that the first person to decide to make good use of this tool would be her cousin's live streaming platform.

The origin of this tool is a long story, but the reason is actually quite simple.

Because Tang She decided to make several versions of Plants vs. Zombies, it would take too much time to do it directly, so he simply had the company make a level generator and imported all the materials into the generator.

When creating a generator, you only need to add materials. Even people who don't know programming can easily learn to use this generator.

After the game was completed, the company also packaged the generator into it, hoping that players could also enjoy the fun of making games.

It's not that no players online have discovered this generator, but even if they have, they haven't used it for anything.

Today, finally someone was going to use this generator, but it turned out to be her cousin, for some reason. Ren Wei felt a strange unease.

"Tell me specifically what you plan to do."

Ren Ya's gaze fell on the documents tossed aside. He wanted to say that it was all written there, but after all, this was his younger sister, whom he favored.

"Our plan is for you to design several specific levels. Challengers can choose to improve the zombies' stats, such as increasing their movement speed, increasing their health bar, or enabling them to instantly kill plants. Then, they can compete within these levels to see who can complete them the fastest, who can complete them with the highest difficulty, and who can complete them using the fewest plants. The teams that achieve this will be scored, and the top-ranked teams will receive rewards."

Ren Wei pursed her lips. She could do this herself, but she had a better idea.

"I have a better suggestion. Let's make the event two weeks long. The first week is the design phase. Players can design various maps using their own creative ideas. Then they can upload them to the game, and other players in the game can score these maps. The maps with the highest scores will become the maps used in the second stage of the competition."

Ren Ya thought about it and realized that it didn't seem difficult and would make the players feel more interesting, so he nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll arrange for people to do it right away. You guys follow up on this too."

Ren Wei then reached out and pressed down on his hand, which was about to make a phone call.

"The proposal is finalized, but what about the money?"

"I'm your brother, why would I ask you for money if I help you promote your business?"

"What I'm saying is, give me money."

?

Where has my gentle, virtuous, understanding, and generous sister gone?

Did you eat her?
