Chapter 61 Tuesday, December 7th

Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd.

The written exams ended yesterday, and now they have entered the intense grading phase.

Considering the huge workload of grading, a week has been set aside.

Interviews will be held on Monday a week later, and then the list of admitted students can be quickly released to decide which group of people will be able to join Tengda as interns and obtain the Tengda spirit compatibility test opportunity.

Pei Qian was very satisfied with this schedule.

On the one hand, the entire recruitment process, including the written test, interview, and admission, has been extended to nearly two weeks, creating a certain discouraging effect.

On the other hand, taking two Mondays off in a short period of time also made most employed people feel desperate, effectively discouraging a group of experienced applicants.

In short, try every possible means to discourage more people!

The grading work is temporarily fully entrusted to the Human Resources Department and the Administration Department.

Given Tengda's current scale, there shouldn't be a need to guard against corruption and fraud.

In the future, as the scale of recruitment increases, the grading will be carried out in strict accordance with the standards of some large-scale examinations. At that time, purchasing special equipment and recruiting grading personnel should be able to spend a lot more money.

Just as he was thinking about this, someone knocked on the door.

Pei Qian looked up and saw that it was Ye Zhizhou.

The development of *BeQuiet* started earlier than gog, and now it's almost time to release the first demo version.

In its current state, it can't be said to be very complete. At most, it has implemented some of the most basic functions, such as characters moving around the scene and using items.

The art assets are also far from complete. There's only one scene so far, and the props, characters, and special effects all need a lot of work.

However, even in this early version, some things can be seen.

Ye Zhizhou took a deep breath outside President Pei's office door to calm his nerves.

In the past, President Pei would go to Shang Yang Games to check on the game's development. This time, Ye Zhizhou came to Tengda to have an audience with the "emperor" himself, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Stay calm, stay calm."

"A demo is an incomplete version, and it's normal for all kinds of bugs to appear. President Pei won't be too demanding."

"As long as you can demonstrate some basic functions well, that's enough."

"Unless... there are too many bugs, and it's completely unplayable."

"That shouldn't be possible. Before coming, I had the testing team do a simple test and fix the most serious bugs."

"There are still some minor bugs, but I shouldn't be so unlucky as to encounter them all."

Ye Zhizhou reassured himself before knocking on the door and entering.

"President Pei, here's the game program. Please install it."

Ye Zhizhou handed over a mobile hard drive.

Pei Qian reached out and took it, installing the game demo on his computer and handing the gamepad to Ye Zhizhou to operate.

In fact, Pei Qian doesn't know what kind of game it is.

Because he only gave Shang Yang Games a few general directions at the time, and then got busy with other things.

So now, Pei Qian is a little bit looking forward to the demonstration of this game demo, wondering what kind of game the people at Shang Yang Games will come up with based on the dead end he pointed out.

However...

Under the halo of Tang Yishu, will I still be able to see the real situation of this demo?

Pei Qian expressed a high degree of doubt about this.

After a brief black screen, the game started normally.

Pei Qian was slightly surprised.

It actually opened! No errors or crashes!

It seems that this demo is pretty good.

Ye Zhizhou was unaware of the impending danger. He pushed the joystick, operating and explaining at the same time.

"The current demo mainly completes some of the most basic things, such as character movement and the use of scene props."

"The main thing is to let you see if the current atmosphere of terror and the overall style meet your expectations."

"This is the first character we made, a standard-sized adult male. The information on the interface is his health, stamina, mental value, etc..."

"We plan to release many different body-type character models, allowing players to customize their appearance..."

Ye Zhizhou introduced while observing President Pei's expression.

He saw President Pei staring intently at the screen, as if expecting something.

At the same time, there was a hint of... surprise hidden in this expectation?

Ye Zhizhou couldn't help feeling a little proud.

It seems that President Pei attaches great importance to our game project. This expectant expression is definitely not fake!

Moreover, President Pei's surprise shows that the current completion of the game has exceeded his expectations.

It seems that the situation is very good!

Ye Zhizhou explained with more enthusiasm.

However, Pei Qian only had two thoughts in his mind.

"When will a bug appear? I'm really looking forward to it."

"It hasn't even appeared yet? The people at Shang Yang Games seem to have put a lot of effort into this demo."

Pei Qian didn't feel much about the game itself.

It can only be said that it's okay. From this demo alone, there's no sign that it will be a big hit.

The basic content and details of the game, as well as the art style, are all well done.

After all, games are now made with editors, and as long as you're willing to spend money, the art will definitely not be bad.

But the atmosphere of horror is far from enough.

Of course, it may also be because there are no monsters or other players yet. Without any dangerous scenes, no matter how dark and terrifying it is, the degree of fright is limited.

But no matter what, this demo has not left a deep impression on Pei Qian for the time being.

"President Pei, here is a special tape recorder. After using it, it will play a very harsh and terrifying music, greatly reducing the sanity value (san value) of the surrounding characters. Look..."

As Ye Zhizhou said this, he controlled the game character to walk up and interact with the scene props.

However, nothing happened.

Ye Zhizhou: "?"

He was suspicious and clicked again.

Still useless.

"Ahem, President Pei, this may be a small bug, but it doesn't matter. We have prepared other props."

Pei Qian smiled and said, "It's okay, it's a demo version. It's normal to have bugs."

Ye Zhizhou breathed a sigh of relief and came to the second interactive prop.

"This is an axe. After picking it up, you can attack enemies, like this."

Under Ye Zhizhou's control, the character kept waving the axe, smashing the surrounding broken wooden boxes, old tables, and other destructible debris to pieces.

Ye Zhizhou breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully the weapon system didn't have any problems.

However, before he could be happy for two minutes, the character he was controlling fell into a crack in the map while wielding the axe.

Ye Zhizhou: "..."

He quickly pressed the reserved shortcut key, and the character returned to the initial position on the map.

"Ahem, that was a small accident. I accidentally fell into a crack in the map."

"But President Pei, don't worry, these cracks will definitely be blocked later."

Pei Qian nodded: "Yes, yes, of course."

Ye Zhizhou didn't dare to explain any more, for fear of leaving President Pei with a bad impression of "being incompetent and shirking responsibility", and continued to control the character towards the next arranged prop.

However, this time, before he could take a few steps, the whole screen suddenly stopped.

"Ding!"

"Ding ding ding!"

The program terminated and returned to the desktop. Several error message boxes popped up, appearing in layers and arranged with a sense of ceremony.

Ye Zhizhou was too embarrassed to explain, so he silently took the mouse, closed the prompt box, and restarted the game.

However, this time, he couldn't even open the game.

Ye Zhizhou: "..."

Blank.

Confused.

What's going on?

Before coming, Ye Zhizhou had tested it on several computers at Shang Yang Games. Although he occasionally encountered some minor bugs, it was no problem to complete the demonstration.

Now, it's good that he can't even get into the game...

Ye Zhizhou looked at President Pei with some shame: "President Pei, I don't know why, it was fine before I came..."

"I'm sorry, there are too many bugs in the game. I'll have them fix it and come back for a demonstration later..."

He was a little embarrassed to look directly into President Pei's eyes.

President Pei attached so much importance and expectation to this game, but it was completely ruined!

Ye Zhizhou only had one feeling now, which was that he had no face to face his elders back in Jiangdong!

When he returns to Shang Yang Games, how will he explain it to Director Lin...

However, President Pei just said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it's a demo version. These are all very normal situations. Don't blame yourself."

"Although I didn't see the demonstration of the specific content, I have felt your sincerity in development. Continue according to the current route!"

"There's no need to show this version again. Wait until the basic gameplay of the game is completed before conducting the second demonstration."

President Pei... didn't blame me?

Ye Zhizhou tried hard to see a blaming look in President Pei's expression, but he failed.

President Pei's expression was calm and kind, and the kindness revealed a sense of relief...

Wait, relief?

What is President Pei relieved about?

Ye Zhizhou was a little puzzled.

It's definitely not because there are so many bugs.

Could it be that President Pei really saw the design ideas from such a short demonstration? And foresaw that this is the right way to go?

Well, it must be like this!

After all, the general direction of the game was decided by President Pei. President Pei must know the final form of the game better than any of us.

In that case, President Pei's expression is not surprising.

Ye Zhizhou knew very well that everyone at Shang Yang Games had been working hard during this period, and there was no problem with the completion of the demo. It was just that he was a little unlucky today, and bugs kept appearing.

Fortunately, President Pei didn't pursue it, but gave enough understanding to this small probability event.

"President Pei, don't worry, I will definitely fix all the bugs when I go back. Next time I come, I will definitely show you an initial version with a high degree of completion!"

Ye Zhizhou turned and left.

Before, he was a little slack, feeling that the game development was progressing very quickly and smoothly, and a lazy emotion naturally arose.

But now, this emotion has been swept away.

Far from enough! We must continue to work hard!

Looking at Ye Zhizhou, who was suddenly full of energy, Pei Qian felt a little inexplicable.

I didn't say anything, why is he so excited...

However, this incident also made Pei Qian confirm one thing.

Tang Yishu's halo is indeed effective, and the effect is excellent!
