"Eight bright jade... a lie!?"

In Suhua City, Luo Mao sat in front of the computer late at night, looking at the chat group with a look of surprise.

"There are new plots after the school chapter? How is this possible! He Xi obviously started thinking about the story of "clannad" after killing "Pokemon". It's only been a few months, how could he think of so much moreover, if the stories are all like Kotomi...Kotomi Line..."

Luo Mao paused for a moment, then took out a tissue from his side, wiped his reddish eyes: "If they are all as good as Qin Meixian, why are they still human?"

He had just finished playing Qin Meixian, and although he played with serious prejudice, the plot still moved him completely. Luo Mao didn't want to admit that he was moved by He Xi's works. He wanted to find out the shortcomings, and with so many scripts and stories, how could He Xi figure it out in just a few months.

"No, that's not what he thinks now!"

Luo Mao's face suddenly turned pale. He remembered that after the first game was released last year, the game production department of Phoenix Company had spread rumors that He Xi wanted to make a "family game". Isn't that 'family game' the current "clannad"?

"One year ago, he started thinking about it a year ago!" Luo Mao now recalls such a long time. If it was a story that he started thinking about a year ago, then the success of "clannad" is not accidental, but Inevitably. He Xi has never given up on the idea of ​​making a second game. The delay in starting is because the story needs time to prepare.

"Damn it!" Hitting the table, Luo Mao's hand hurt badly. "Clannad" and "Happy Sakura Gakuen" are not games on the same level at all. It turns out that Su Hui knew it a long time ago, that's why he did it. Said that Luo Mao would regret it: "I will not regret it!"

Luo Mao didn't want to admit that he regretted it, but when he remembered that the ending song of the Qinmei Line was broadcast, and the familiar production staff displayed above did not have himself, he still felt a little pain in his heart-originally, the artist in this excellent work Man should have his name. He will be praised by family and friends around him.

But now... Luo Mao seemed to see Su Hui's face laughing loudly in front of him.

"Don't be complacent,

Su Hui, this matter hasn't been played yet! "Luo Mao gritted his teeth. He still has a chance. So what if the quality of "clannad" is good? The world does not rely on quality, and publicity is also very important for a game. "Clannad" is indeed popular. But Shuimunianhua With the help of Internet speculators, he can also rely on the popularity of "clannad" to become famous in one fell swoop.

"It should be almost done now, the forum is already full of posts from "Hi Laughing Sakura Gakuen"."

Luo Mao couldn't wait to open He Xi's House, but he was very surprised by the result. The page of He Xi's House was very clean, not even a post about "Sakura Laughing Academy". How is this going? Luo Mao saw with his own eyes that the minister invited online speculators, why are there no posts now?

"Can't those online speculators beat them?"

Luo Mao took a deep breath. When he was in Phoenix Company, he heard that Jose and several game designers were hackers before, but he didn't know how powerful they were. This time, it seems that the hype on the forum may have been stifled by Phoenix Company. Those Internet hype groups are really useless, even a few small hackers can't handle it.

"But there are other places..."

The hype of Shuimunianhua is not limited to He Xi's House. There are also other websites and forums. Luo Mao looked for it, and he saw a few similar posts on the largest text adventure game forum: "Single out "clannad", take stock of the heroines in "Pretty Girl Academia" who surpassed "clannad" Ladies and gentlemen!" ""clannad" became popular, but it will eventually be replaced by "My Girlfriends"!"

Luo Mao was stunned. It wasn't just "Hi Laughing Sakura Gakuen" that was hyping, the text adventure game circle seemed to be particularly sensitive, and "clannad" just came out today. Many small game manufacturers saw the signs of the fire, and even ran out to hype their own games. The entire forum is full of hype posts, but at first glance, it gives the feeling of "clannad".

Luo Mao entered the post of "Big Laughing Sakura Gakuen", and there were only three people who responded, and their replies were like this—"Is "Big Laughing Sakura Gakuen" really that funny?", "Brother, that's hype. Don't take it seriously! ", "That's right, there are many games today that use "clannad" to hype, and "clannad" has become a masterpiece!"

This... is this a hype? Looking at the reply to the post, all the manufacturers are advertising "clannad"! No matter how stupid the player is, he sees "clannad" full of screens. I also know that it is a good game!

After browsing other websites, Luo Mao found that the situation was similar. He was terribly disappointed. The hype of "Hi Laughing Sakura Gakuen" basically had no hope of success, and it couldn't surpass "clannad". These two games can't even be said to be rivals, the gap between the two is ants and elephants.

Unable to fight, unable to measure... Luo Mao had the "clannad" box next to him. He looked at the installation CD inside, and anger and shame flashed in his eyes.

"Crack!"

He broke the disc, then stomped on it a few times, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Feng Shui turns, what's the big deal, the next work of Shuimunianhua will surpass you soon!"

Kicking the fragments of the CD aside, Luo Mao fell asleep lying on the bed. He had a nightmare of being laughed at, and then he was awakened by a knock on the door: "Senior, senior, the minister invited us out for dinner, we are downstairs Wait for you!"

"Oh, well, here we come..."

Luo Mao woke up in pain. He found that it was already noon, so he hurriedly washed and prepared to go out, but when he went out, he saw that the computer had not been turned off, so he turned off the computer, and the chat room window on the computer was still open.

"Good afternoon, everyone. I played Tomoyo Line last night and didn't go to bed until midnight. I slept so well! I dreamed of Tomoyo several times, so happy!"

"I just woke up not too long ago, and I'm too obsessed with playing... I must finish the second person today!"

Turning his eyes to the conversation in the window, Luo Mao was in a terrible mood. When he got up, he saw others praising "clannad". The minister of Shuimunianhua and several colleagues were already waiting downstairs. Luo Mao couldn't help but feel better seeing them. This company is quite good. Everyone usually goes out to eat and play together, which is much more relaxed than Phoenix Company.

"minister."

After Luo Mao went down, he greeted the minister and others.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's go to the buffet today!" The minister said loudly: "It's a rare holiday, let's go have a good time in the afternoon!"

"no problem!"

The other colleagues were very excited, but Luo Mao frowned slightly: "Minister, is it appropriate to play now? I saw the hype of the game last night, and it seems not very optimistic..."

"You actually read it, um... I received a notice today that the hype failed, and the money has been refunded." The minister shook his head and sighed: "I didn't expect so many manufacturers to hype, since it failed, forget it... ...He Xi is as strong as a monster, we should not compare with him, there is no comparison at all!"

Luo Mao was taken aback: "No comparison?"

"That's right, there's no comparison." The minister smiled indifferently: "Actually, our "Sakura Campus" is enough to make money. As long as we make money, the company will give bonuses. Compare?"

"Come on, let's go to the buffet first!"

The minister left with a few people forward, Luo Mao looked at his back, his face turned red and turned white.

"Am I wrong? Shuimunianhua has no future at all!"

Luo Mao suddenly discovered that Shuimunianhua was different from what he thought. They didn't value text adventure games, and they didn't want to make more works than He Xi! The text adventure department of this company is always partying and playing. It sounds good because the atmosphere is good, but the worst is that everyone has no ambition and is just looking for fun.

In such a non-struggle place, how could it be possible to produce works that surpass He Xi? Never possible!

"Luo Mao, what's the matter with you, come here soon!" At this moment, the minister realized that Luo Mao hadn't followed, and shouted back. Luo Mao looked at him with a complicated expression: "No, Minister, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable. You should go to the buffet this time!"

He sent these colleagues away, his head was a little confused, and then he bought instant noodles and walked to the staff dormitory in a daze. Luo Mao suddenly didn't know what he should pursue.

At this time, his cell phone rang, Luo Mao took out the cell phone, the caller ID was a good friend of his.

"Ah, Luo Mao, I saw it!" After the connection, the friend's excited voice came from the phone: "That "clannad" is pretty good, it was on the front page of "China Animation Daily" this morning Now, the comments on the Internet are all shouting 'God's work', 'God's work', you are very good!"

This friend is Luo Mao's college classmate, but he doesn't know that Luo Mao has left his job.

"No, I didn't do that." Luo Mao said with some embarrassment: "I resigned from Phoenix Company!"

"Ah!?" The friend was shocked: "Fuck, you are stupid, what are you doing now?"

"Have you heard of "Happy Sakura Gakuen", I'm in Mizuki Nianka now..."

"Huh? "Happy Sakura Gakuen", let me think about it... Oh, isn't this the "seqin" game with a funny name? It's okay to do, oops, I didn't expect you to transition to "seqin" Painter, you kid is quite boring..."

The friend's words were not malicious, but they pierced Luo Mao's heart.

"You will definitely regret it..." He remembered Su Hui's words. It turned out that after leaving Phoenix Company, Luo Mao still had to bear the name of "seqin" painter, "seqin" painter—what a shameful title! !

Luo Mao suddenly regretted it, he gritted his teeth.

"Snapped!'

He slapped himself, his face was burning with pain.

"Which line of my tm is wrong will I leave Phoenix Company!"
