Chapter 127: Is the Grand Plan Going to Collapse?

When 《Conquest》 was released, before 《Hero Kill》 was released, Qin You posted an article on Weibo.

In that article, Qin You harshly criticized Lu Yu.

His article was also reposted on various major forums, attracting considerable attention, and even had a certain impact on Lu Yu and Grand.

Now……

Qin You was sitting in front of the computer, looking at the article he had written earlier.

He hesitated for a long time but ultimately did not delete the article.

But he then typed another Weibo post on the computer.

"When a frog at the bottom of a well sees only a small part of the sky, it thinks that is the whole world."

"Insects that only grow in summer can never understand the cold of winter."

"I previously wrote a Weibo post in which I said Lu Yu had run out of talent, claiming that the games he had made before were merely flashes of inspiration, and now……"

"I want to take back those words."

"\"Hero Kill\" has let me see so many things I had never seen before."

"Perhaps some people think \"Hero Kill\" is just a new game and cannot see much in it, but I want to say that those who think that are wrong."

"Let's first talk about the character design of \"Hero Kill\"."

"Beyond imagination! Overturning tradition is nothing, but being both reasonable and logical is difficult."

"For novel things, for things that defy common sense, everyone's first reaction should be resistance."

"But Lu Yu managed to make the character design of \"Hero Kill\" accepted by people in the shortest time."

"What does this mean? Lu Yu possesses an aesthetic superior to that of ordinary people, and he is skilled at bringing that aesthetic down to the level of ordinary people, so they can accept it."

"Genius is not frightening; what is frightening is a genius who can lower himself to our level. This is no longer genius—it's a monster!"

"I really don't know how to evaluate Lu Yu now."

"I should say that I currently have no qualifications to evaluate Lu Yu."

"Probably hardly anyone in the domestic gaming industry is qualified to evaluate Lu Yu!"

This is the full text of Qin You's Weibo post.

In his Weibo post, he practically placed Lu Yu on a divine pedestal, while he himself was merely an admirer.

For Qin You, this is naturally unbelievable.

No matter how you say it, he is the chief designer of Grand Plan Games, and internationally he is a renowned game designer.

But after writing that Weibo post, Qin You felt his mood improve greatly.

He even smiled while looking at the computer.

……

Mr. Qin only learned two hours later that Qin You had posted on Weibo.

He immediately rushed back to Grand Plan.

Qin You is the game director of Grand Plan, its public face, and can even to some extent represent Grand Plan.

At least in game design, Qin You has this authority.

Therefore, the significance of Qin You's remarks is immense!

As the game director, Qin You admits he is inferior to Lu Yu; does that mean we can consider Grand Plan inferior to Grand?

This was Mr. Qin's first reaction.

He wanted Qin You to delete the Weibo post!

Otherwise, what will Grand Plan have to compete with Lu Yu and Grand in the future?

But when Mr. Qin hurried back to Grand Plan and reached Qin You's office, he found that the person was already gone!

As for the phone?

Mr. Qin had already called, but it was impossible to get through.

So where should we go to find Qin You now!

For the first time, Mr. Qin felt helpless.

He looked at this lavishly decorated office, gazed out the window at Mo Du, and he……felt disheartened!

Moreover, Mr. Qin felt lost, not knowing what he should do next or how to do it.

Then, at that moment, Mr. Qin saw a sheet of paper on Qin You's desk.

He quickly walked over and picked up the paper.

"\"I'm leaving; I probably won't return to the domestic scene for the rest of my life. \""

"\"Sorry, I didn't fulfill the promise I made to you earlier. \""

"\"But this isn't my fault. It's not that I'm not strong enough or not hardworking enough; it's because the opponent is truly too strong. \""

"\"Probably……no matter how hard I try or how much I improve, I will never be a match for Lu Yu. \""

"\"You……you should also be aware of this, so……\""

The content on the paper ends here.

But Mr. Qin knew Qin You still had something unsaid.

It was merely……that Qin You thought Mr. Qin would not be a match for Lu Yu.

In fact?

Perhaps, that really is the case……

But……

Why!

Why does a mere seven-year-old child have such talent, such ability?

This is a question Mr. Qin has asked himself countless times.

But he never came up with an answer.

Perhaps... life is just this unfair, right?

Some people are born far better than others.

Mr. Qin, standing inside the Office, remained motionless for a long time.

……

Online, the major forums have become extremely lively.

"Qin You has admitted defeat, hasn't he? But that's actually quite normal, right? Obviously, Grand's game is far more fun than Grand Plan's."

"Legend and Sword and Distant Lands, Hero Kill and Conquest. It can be said that the two sides are not even on the same level!"

"In that case, Qin You still has some self-awareness."

"What I'm curious about is whether this is Qin You's personal opinion or Grand Plan's stance. Has Grand Plan now admitted defeat to Grand?"

Netizens started discussing Grand Plan, Qin You, as well as Grand and Lu Yu.

They mostly think that Grand Plan is inferior to Grand.

Once such an idea takes root, it's like a seed planted in the soil beginning to sprout, and it becomes unstoppable.

Believe it, even if Grand Plan later releases a game better than Grand's, people will still think Grand's game is more fun.

This is a subconscious imprint deep in the mind, deeply ingrained and hard to change.

This is also why Mr. Qin reacted so strongly after learning about Qin You's scarf.

From the moment Qin You released that scarf, Grand Plan almost lost the ability to compete with Grand.

Afterwards, for Mr. Qin to defeat Grand Plan and Lu Yu, he would need to exert double, or even ten times, the effort!

……

Hero Kill sold well, and Penguin's download numbers and user count showed explosive growth.

Mr. Ma is very busy now.

Mr. Ma is busy expanding the servers and expanding the bandwidth.

Yes!

Once again, the facts exceeded Mr. Ma's imagination.

Servers in the tens of millions simply cannot handle the current user volume!

Lu Yu was right again!

But Mr. Ma now has no time to think about these things; he still needs to speed up completing the basic infrastructure!
