Chapter 119

The general version of Zhuge Liang and the strategist version of Zhuge Liang each have their fans.

Thus, a conflict arose between the two sides.

Their argument started on Grand's official website, then spread to various platforms.

Supporters of the general version of Zhuge Liang will say.

"Are you all blind? Look at this armor! Look at the spear in Zhuge Liang's hand— isn't it better-looking than that fan?"

"Vigorous and spirited, dashing and imposing— this is the female hero in my heart!"

"This is probably the goddess everyone has in mind, right?"

Those who like the strategist version of Zhuge Liang will say.

"Take a look at this version of Zhuge Liang: although it exudes a sense of holding wisdom in one's palm, it still retains feminine grace— this is the eternal deity!"

"Enough talk— the strategist version of Zhuge Liang is the best, and I won't accept any rebuttal!"

"Fresh and unsullied, not coy or affected, decisive and wise, yet not merely beautiful— this version of Zhuge Liang is the best!"

Each side sticks to its own view, and nobody yields to the other.

Their argument actually pushed the heat of the game "Hero Kill" to its peak in an instant.

Right!

By now, nobody has any objections to the alterations.

At this point, the direction of their dispute is no longer about why Zhuge Liang is female.

Once the alterations are accepted… it's truly fragrant!

……

As the game director of Grand Plan, Qin You has his own understanding of the game.

This understanding is comprehensive, covering gameplay, character settings, and even details down to the design of dialogue boxes.

Qin You can indeed be considered outstanding among them; otherwise he wouldn't dare to look down on all domestic game developers.

Qin You naturally also noticed Grand's "Hero Kill" and noticed Zhuge Liang's character design.

To be honest, upon first seeing Zhuge Liang, Qin You felt a bit stunned.

Years of game production have given him an extraordinary ability to grasp the game's market.

Upon first seeing Zhuge Liang's design draft, Qin You knew this character would definitely become popular.

In fact, it was just as he had imagined.

Zhuge Liang became popular— extremely popular!

This made Qin You very angry.

He had only recently told Mr. Qin that Lu Yu had exhausted his talent, but now……

Qin You cannot accept this kind of slap in the face, so……

Qin You refuses to acknowledge the fact that Zhuge Liang became a hit, and cannot accept Lu Yu once again creating a beloved character, even a game!

Thus, Qin You posted some remarks online.

"I am someone who grew up abroad from childhood, receiving Western education."

"But even so, I know the greatness of our nation's history, and those figures shining brightly in history are even more our faith."

"But what is Grand doing now? They are tarnishing our faith!"

"I don't think that under such ideological guidance, Grand can still produce any interesting games."

Qin You's remarks were indeed reasonable and well-founded, striking a chord, and they also resonated with some people.

But after all, this is just a game.

So many players feel Qin You's statements are somewhat excessive.

But… in the end, this viewpoint still gained some people's approval.

Those who disagree… their opposing voices won't be loud, after all, the involved level is too profound.

Thus……

The popularity of the character Zhuge Liang began to decline.

The heat of "Hero Kill" is also declining.

Qin You's remarks seem not to have caused much of a stir, but actually… the impact exceeded imagination.

……

Grand, inside Lu Yu's office.

"Little Yu, Qin You's remarks… will have a big impact on 'Hero Kill'…"

Chen Qiao began explaining the impact of Qin You's remarks.

He doesn't think Lu Yu fails to see the underlying meaning, merely……

Qin You posted those remarks over a day ago, yet Lu Yu has had no reaction!

Isn't that rather abnormal?

Has Lu Yu perhaps forgotten this matter?

Lu Yu patiently listened to Chen Qiao's explanation, merely nodding lightly, his reaction…… still not strong.

"Little Yu, do you perhaps have any other means?" Chen Qiao couldn't help but ask.

Lu Yu lightly shook his head and said: "My plans I've already told you about. I intend to act according to the plan, not to change it."

As for Qin You's remarks, they actually don't have much impact on us.

On the contrary, Qin You's remarks have slightly increased our game's fame, which is a good thing.

What we need is merely popularity and fame.

As long as enough people know about it, then enough people will play our game.

Chen Qiao was stunned.

How overbearing is this remark of Lu Yu's?

The number of people who know about it equals the number of people who will play this game.

You should know, this game cannot be played just by downloading it.

This game was developed based on the QQ Game Center.

In other words, to play Hero Kill you need to first register a QQ account!

For players, the most troublesome thing is nothing more than registering an account!

Given this premise, even if the game is very fun, some people will still refuse.

Now…

Lu Yu is actually this confident?

If someone else had said this, Chen Qiao would probably immediately refute it.

But because this person is Lu Yu, Chen Qiao could only remain silent.

Chen Qiao discovered that lately he has often found himself wanting to speak but stopping.

But what can he do?

Who made his partner Lu Yu?

Perhaps…

Perhaps from now on, I don't need to worry about anything; just leave it to Lu Yu?

Chen Qiao couldn't help but have this thought.

In fact, Chen Qiao had previously brought this up to Lu Yu, suggesting Lu Yu become his partner, and he would give Lu Yu half of Grand's shares.

At the same time, Lu Yu had absolute management authority over Grand.

But Lu Yu refused, taking only that half of the shares, yet refusing to manage Grand.

Putting it in Lu Yu's words, "I will not manage."

Chen Qiao almost just chuckled.

But what could he do?

Who let this person be Lu Yu!

……

For Lu Yu, Qin You's remarks or the release of Conquest actually don't matter.

Because Lu Yu clearly knows the influence and charm of Hero Kill.

The vitality of this game may not be strong; it will likely be eliminated in a year or two.

But without a doubt, at the beginning it caused a phenomenon-level sensation.

So, all Lu Yu needs to do is guarantee Hero Kill's quality and ensure it becomes known.

As for the rest, leaving it to Hero Kill is enough!

What Lu Yu is now more concerned about is something else.

National College Entrance Examination!

Yes!

Some time has passed since the National College Entrance Examination ended, and the exam results are about to be released!

Lu Yu is confident in himself, but after all it's an exam, so accidents can happen.

He is also curious about his own score.
