Chapter 130 A Good Idea

Yu Fei had heard rumors about Bao Xu being an expert in almost all games. It was reasonable for him to have researched fighting games.

But the key point was that Bao Xu was no longer in the game department; he had gone to oversee the Suffering Travel project himself!

They were once again at an impasse.

Suddenly, Hu Xianbin had a flash of inspiration: "Oh, speaking of Brother Bao, I suddenly had a great idea!"

"If this idea can be realized, maybe we can both achieve a win-win situation!"

"Wait a moment, let me think about the details."

Yu Fei looked blank, not understanding what Hu Xianbin meant by "win-win."

Hu Xianbin seemed to be calculating something, a sincere smile on his face.

He knew very well that this trip to Shennongjia would be arduous.

Not going was impossible, but suffering was not the same for everyone.

The itinerary had been basically finalized, and Bao Xu would also be going on this trip.

When Hu Xianbin and Huang Sibao first heard this news, they were very surprised.

Wasn't Bao Xu the most averse to traveling?

Logically speaking, now that Bao Xu was in charge of the Suffering Travel project, shouldn't he be sending others out while he happily stayed in Jingzhou playing games?

Why would he go himself?

After everyone analyzed it, they realized that this was a very dangerous signal.

Bao Xu really didn't like to run around outside, and he basically couldn't find any enjoyment in traveling.

So, the reason he actively decided to go out this time must be because he could gain more enjoyment than staying at home in Jingzhou.

Where did this enjoyment come from?

Obviously, it was from watching others suffer…

Although Bao Xu felt comfortable staying in Jingzhou, how could he see the scenes of these people suffering up close?

Therefore, Bao Xu decided to follow, watching these people being tormented up close!

After understanding this, Hu Xianbin and the others couldn't help but feel a chill.

Obviously, this trip to Shennongjia might not be dangerous, but it would definitely be full of hardships…

What if Bao Xu didn't go?

Although Sa Ziran was very professional in terms of wilderness survival, he certainly wouldn't be as ruthless as Bao Xu.

The department heads would naturally suffer less.

However, it wouldn't be easy to keep Bao Xu in Jingzhou, because that meant they had to make Bao Xu willingly give up watching them suffer.

But now, there was a relatively suitable reason.

Tengda Games was in trouble, and it needed Brother Bao to save it!

Hu Xianbin understood Bao Xu's personality relatively well. Although Bao Xu was now slightly blinded by "revenge," he shouldn't stand idly by if the game department encountered problems.

So…

As long as they reasoned with him and appealed to his emotions, using the excuse of tight design schedules and heavy development tasks, they could probably persuade Bao Xu to stay and help.

Although this wouldn't fundamentally cancel the Shennongjia trip, as long as Bao Xu didn't go, the situation of everyone suffering would definitely be greatly improved!

After all, Sa Ziran wouldn't be so ruthless. As long as Bao Xu wasn't on the scene, everything would be fine.

Thinking of this, Hu Xianbin said, "Here's what you should do: go find Brother Bao for help, but don't mention that I sent you."

"Otherwise, it might arouse his suspicion."

"As long as you can persuade Brother Bao to help, this design problem will definitely be solved!"

Yu Fei hesitated, "This… will it work? I'm not familiar with Brother Bao."

Hu Xianbin nodded, "It will work, precisely because you two aren't familiar that you might be able to persuade him."

Almost everyone who was familiar with Bao Xu had voted against him, and all of them were recorded in his little notebook.

If Hu Xianbin went to Bao Xu, he would immediately be suspected of having ulterior motives.

But Yu Fei was different. First of all, he had never voted against Bao Xu and had no direct hatred towards him; secondly, he was ostensibly unrelated to the Suffering Travel project, so seeking Bao Xu's help wouldn't arouse suspicion; finally, Yu Fei really didn't understand fighting games and wasn't good at game design, so he genuinely needed help.

Considering everything, the possibility of Bao Xu softening and agreeing was actually very high!

And Hu Xianbin could also take this opportunity to reduce the difficulty of his own Suffering Travel and suffer a little less.

Yu Fei nodded, "Okay, then I'll give it a try."

Since Hu Xianbin wasn't coming to take over, he could only hold on for another month.

He had originally wanted to give up, but now that Hu Xianbin had pointed out a clear path, he might as well ask Bao Xu first.

What if Bao Xu had a better idea?

As long as there was a general direction, and he wasn't completely clueless, then holding on for another month wouldn't be too difficult.

Thinking of this, Yu Fei sorted out his thoughts and prepared to go out and ask Bao Xu for advice.

"Don't mention that I sent you!"

Hu Xianbin was still worried and gave an extra reminder.

…

At the same time, at the Suffering Travel Special Training Base.

Meng Chang had just finished touring the entire training base and, at Bao Xu's "enthusiastic recommendation," had tasted several foods such as compressed biscuits, canned food, and compressed meat patties.

The result was that he drank two large bottles of water but still couldn't get the taste out of his mouth.

"Okay, thank you for the introduction. I basically understand the situation of this training base."

The expression on Meng Chang's face was quite complicated.

He had heard that Bao Xu had created a "Suffering Travel" project after receiving the Dream Fund, but he didn't expect it to really be so arduous!

After all, everyone participating in this project were relatively valuable department heads from various departments of Tengda. Each of them had no worries about food and drink, and they could be considered successful in their respective fields. Being forced to participate in this masochistic project was simply too miserable.

Bao Xu didn't show any mercy at all; he was practically training people to death.

Of course, the most amazing thing was that President Pei fully supported this, seemingly not worried at all that it would affect the daily operation of the various departments.

It should be noted that the larger the company, the more things there were to do. The department heads were the most important force in the entire company. The handling of various matters and the transmission of various messages, both upwards and downwards, were their responsibility.

Many department heads in other companies were busy from morning till night, working themselves to death, but the department heads of Tengda could actually take two months to suffer?

This was also quite outrageous.

Meng Chang's task this month was to promote "Suffering Travel." Although he already understood some of the situation, he had no idea how to promote it.

Perhaps it was because after his previous ideas were rejected, the entire knowledge structure of the "Pei-style publicity method" was gradually being reorganized and restored.

"Then let's end here for today, thank you very much."

"When you go to Shennongjia later, I will also arrange for someone to accompany you to shoot some materials. It may be useful, or it may not be."

"As for how to promote it specifically, I still need to go back and think about it carefully. I may need Brother Bao and the others to cooperate more in the future."

Meng Chang prepared to leave.

Bao Xu nodded, "No problem, definitely!"

After seeing Meng Chang off, Bao Xu waited for a while at the training base, and Yu Fei arrived.

Before coming, Yu Fei had contacted Bao Xu and briefly explained his intentions.

Bao Xu didn't directly agree or refuse, but simply said that he would talk about it briefly and determine the specific situation of the game before making a decision.

"Come, please sit down."

"There's nothing to entertain you here, only mineral water. Just make do with it."

Bao Xu led Yu Fei to sit down in the training room of the training base. This place was mainly used to teach the trainees wilderness survival knowledge, and now it was temporarily used as a reception room.

Yu Fei subconsciously looked around.

Was this the Suffering Travel Special Training Base that the Tengda department heads dreaded?

According to Hu Xianbin and the others' descriptions, this place was like the dungeon of the Eastern Depot. One would think it was a dark and gloomy place. But now it seemed that the conditions were actually quite good.

"Brother Bao, let me briefly explain the current situation first…"

Yu Fei described the matter of *Ghost General 2*, including the design points proposed by President Pei, as well as his own confusion.

Of course, he didn't mention Hu Xianbin. This was what Hu Xianbin had repeatedly emphasized before he came.

After listening to Yu Fei's description, Bao Xu fell into deep thought.

Seeing Bao Xu's expression, Yu Fei couldn't help but light up.

There was hope!

He knew that although Bao Xu was famous as a "traveler," he was actually a gaming expert and one of the people who could best understand President Pei's intentions.

When developing *Fortress at Sea*, Huang Sibao was only the executive lead planner, while Bao Xu was the concept designer who interpreted President Pei's thoughts and infused the game with its soul.

When hearing these requirements for *Ghost General 2*, most people were confused and had no idea, but in contrast, Bao Xu didn't show any surprised expression, but seriously considered the feasibility.

This was enough to show that he had found the right person.

After considering for a while, Bao Xu said, "I can probably guess a rough design prototype."

"But… I can't tell you too clearly, it doesn't conform to our consistent principle."

Yu Fei was stunned, "Huh? Isn't Tengda's consistent principle to help each other?"

As far as he knew, Bao Xu was a warm-hearted person who had once enthusiastically helped out at the snack market.

So why was he refusing this time?

Bao Xu explained, "There is a prerequisite for mutual help, which is that it cannot affect the original person in charge's ideas."

"President Pei is very particular about choosing project leaders. The essence of certain projects must be designed by specific leaders."

"When I went to help the snack market, although I put forward some of my own ideas, Zhang Yahui was still the one who made the final decision. We had a division of labor."

"But your situation is different. We both do game creativity, and our work content overlaps."

"If my ideas influence you too much, then it will become my design, not your design, which may run counter to President Pei's original plan."

Yu Fei said, "But… I don't have any design now? I'm completely clueless."

"Brother Bao, if you don't help me, I think this game may not be made at all…"

Bao Xu thought for a while and nodded slightly, "That's true."

"The game prototype that I have in mind does have a very high development difficulty, and it's not something you can handle in your current state."

"But I certainly can't take over everything and design it for you."

"What if President Pei doesn't think so? Wouldn't that mess everything up?"

"Hmm… in this case, let's call and ask President Pei."
