Chapter 92: Legend Born!

I don't expect you to believe in yourselves as I do, to believe in Grand.

But I hope you can at least remain rational.

As for the game's content, I haven't told you; I already explained the reason before, because Grand has spies, and I still haven't found the spy.

I even feel that today's meeting is also being stirred up by the spy behind the scenes.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

Because Grand Plan will release a game soon, and we, Grand, will also release our own game one or two weeks after Grand Plan releases theirs.

By then, whether we fall or Grand Plan prevails should be quite clear.

As for you…… either leave Grand now, or decide to take a gamble, decide for yourselves.

What I want to say is, your salaries are still being paid, your benefits unchanged; in fact… life is the same as before.

Lu Yu said this much, then paused, gave everyone below a deep look, and jumped down from the stool to leave.

Chen Qiao thought for a moment, didn't go up to speak; what Lu Yu said was already enough.

Now everyone's treatment is the same as before.

Because Lu Yu worried the spy would leak secrets, so each person's workload is less than usual.

That is to say, they are now earning the same money while doing less work.

At least, they don't have to worry about anything now.

Moreover… Grand Plan is about to release 'Sword and Distant Lands', and the showdown between Grand and Grand Plan will soon be decided.

They…… don't need to stake much time.

So, at this moment they have absolutely no need to leave Grand!

The people in the meeting room aren't fools either; they quickly realized this, so…… everyone fell silent.

Leaving Grand now, going to Grand Plan, is just adding icing on the cake for Grand Plan.

And if they stay in Grand, and if Grand wins then, it would be like sending charcoal in the snow.

Which is lighter, which heavier, is obvious at a glance!

So, most employees decided to stay at Grand for now.

But of course, some employees unwilling to wait directly resigned.

Grand's situation has thus temporarily stabilized.

……

At night, inside a certain club.

Wang Xin related everything that had happened at Grand.

"Lu Yu's move is actually quite good; it counts as temporarily stabilizing morale."

"But actually, it can also be seen that Lu Yu is at the end of his rope."

"If he truly had confidence, he wouldn't have come out and said such things."

Finally, Wang Xin made these additions.

Mr. Qin nodded lightly, a smile on his face, and said: "So, can you find out Grand's game progress? Can they really release a game in the next one or two months?"

Wang Xin shook his head slightly and said: "Lu Yu's secrecy work is excellent; no one knows the exact progress. However…… this isn't something we should worry about."

"Grand Plan has been making huge moves lately, occupying everyone's attention; there's no need to fear Grand at all."

"Even if they release a game on the same day as us, so what? Would anyone notice them?"

"So, in fact we can already congratulate ourselves on victory in advance."

"Congratulations, Mr. Qin, just returning to the domestic market, you've already defeated Grand and are about to become the top game company in the country."

Mr. Qin couldn't help but burst out laughing, obviously he also endorsed Wang Xin's view.

Then……

The two even opened champagne, really celebrating success in advance.

In fact, no matter how you look at it, their behavior is completely understandable.

Because Grand really has no chance of a comeback at all.

……

Time passed day by day.

Grand Plan and 'Sword and Distant Lands' grew ever more influential.

Moreover, Grand Plan even hired a current top-line celebrity as spokesperson, and piled advertisements at bus stops.

For a time, it seemed that wherever you were, you could see 'Sword and Distant Lands'.

Grand Plan also released more promotional videos for 'Sword and Distant Lands'.

Each video could cause a sensation.

As for the graphics and sound of 'Sword and Distant Lands', as of now they truly have reached the utmost.

A game like this would not be refused by any player!

Netizens' expectations have been maxed out!

Looking at Grand's side, they…… still have not made a move.

It's as if they had truly vanished from the gaming world.

But has Grand really done nothing at all?

……

The countdown to the release of 'Sword and Distant Lands' is only seven days!

At this moment, inside the office of Grand's Technical Department.

"Operating normally."

For now, no bugs can be found.

During player versus player combat, there was no lag.

Monster drop rates are normal.

In the office, the Computer Lab students began reporting their test results.

Some were directly playtesting the game, while others were testing the backend.

Lu Yu nodded upon hearing one person's report.

Finally, after about half an hour, the third internal test of Legend ended.

A faint smile appeared on Lu Yu's face.

Yes!

Legend had actually been completed long ago.

At the beginning, Lu Yu proposed all the content for Legend, including character design, monster design, experience levels, data, and everything else.

In this situation, the Computer Lab students only needed to improve their skills sufficiently.

And the Computer Lab students were never lacking in skill!

In this situation, Legend was developed in just over a month, which naturally wasn't difficult.

In fact, for a game, the most difficult aspect is not actually technical.

It's the data.

For example, the character's attack power, the monster's hit points, the drop rate, and other such data.

Balance!

These are the two most important words for making a large online game.

Lu Yu single-handedly handled the most difficult part.

So Legend was born!

Xiao Yu, Legend is so fun! I feel like I can't stop playing this game now.

Slaying monsters, leveling up, dropping gear—even if it's not an online game, even if I'm the only one playing right now, I feel I could keep playing forever.

By then, if players join, form teams, PK, have castle wars… I wouldn't even know how great this game's charm would be!

I now wish the whole world could play this game with me.

In Chen Qiao's office, upon seeing Lu Yu enter, Chen Qiao couldn't help but speak.

His emotions were very excited.

He truly likes Legend.

This is the most fun game he has ever played in his life.

These days of playtesting have caused Chen Qiao to become completely immersed.

Chen Qiao even felt that, compared to Legend, all the pressure he had faced before amounted to nothing.

It's possible!

Legend can do it, Grand can do it!

But…

Now there are still problems facing Chen Qiao and Grand.

And they are very important problems.
