Chapter 95: No reaction?

Lin Shen is an office worker.

Because of his efforts when young, Lin Shen, now middle-aged, is already a senior supervisor, with a high salary and also possesses a large amount of leisure time.

This also illustrates the saying that effort brings reward.

For office workers with lots of free time, playing games is naturally the first choice.

Lin Shen is no exception; he always secretly plays games during work hours.

Actually it's not really "secret", after all he is the top leader of his department, and no one can supervise him.

Recently, Lin Shen became a fan of Grand Plan's games.

Or rather, from the time Grand Plan released its first promotional video, he already took a liking to Sword and Far.

For this game, Lin Shen also prepared a considerable little fund.

Playing games, how could one not spend money?

A game that costs nothing fundamentally cannot let you experience its essence.

At least, that's what Lin Shen thinks.

So, now Lin Shen doesn't really like the game Legend.

The characters are indeed exquisite, the models are not bad, and even the background fits his aesthetic quite well.

But this game……is just too hard to play!

After creating a character, one needs to do a bunch of novice quests.

After finishing the quests, one still has to go to the nearby small town to fight small wild monsters.

It's already been a day!

As of now, one day later, Zhou Shen discovers that his game level still hasn't reached level ten!

Looks like, the later it gets, the harder it is to level up the character.

That is to say, Lin Shen wants to raise his game level to the maximum, which might take several months!

What a lousy game!

Just leveling up is this exhausting.

Lin Shen couldn't help but start complaining.

Dong dong dong!

Suddenly, the sound of knocking came from outside Lin Shen's office.

"Who is it!" Lin Shen didn't even lift his head.

"Supervisor, a batch of goods will arrive this afternoon; when it comes, are we putting it in the warehouse or…" an employee walked in.

"Do I have to handle this kind of thing? Go find the director. I'm busy right now." Lin Shen said impatiently.

The employee stared, wasn't the supervisor supposed to handle everything personally before?

According to the supervisor's saying, if you don't even understand your own work, what's the point of working?

The employee walked away with a face full of doubt.

Lin Shen's eyes were already fixed on the screen, watching.

He complained about Legend in his mouth, and despised Legend in his heart,

But in fact?

Lin Shen had already, without realizing it, taken a liking to Legend.

This is Legend's charm.

Once you come into contact with it, no one can resist it.

Lin Shen is merely a shadow among the countless players who have downloaded Legend.

You should know, these players now are still just doing novice quests, still just fighting wild monsters outside the small town to level up.

They haven't even unfolded this world's game view, not even developing one percent of the game's playstyle.

The real monster-slaying leveling, different maps, the fun of teaming up, plus the thrill of PK, the satisfaction of ambushing others to burst their equipment, city wars…

Legend's true charm, so far not even the tip of its iceberg has erupted.

But now it's already enough to make players addicted.

…

The day after Legend's release is also the day before Sword and Far is about to be released.

Lu Yu's office.

"Little Yu, the download count of Legend has already broken through the million mark right now!"

"Although it has temporarily reached a saturated state, this achievement… has already surpassed all imagination."

Chen Qiao wore a smile on his face.

Two days to reach a million downloads, a remarkably impressive achievement.

Previously, Plants vs. Zombies had achieved over a million downloads in one day, but…

You should know, Plants vs. Zombies is a single-player game, with a small size.

Legend is an online game, with a huge size, so large that some computers simply cannot install it.

Moreover, the internet of this era is ultimately still lacking a bit.

No matter how you say it, the download time is at least half an hour, and even several hours is not strange.

Under these circumstances, Legend still having such an astonishing download volume can be said to be astonishing.

Lu Yu also couldn't help but lightly nod, thinking that such a download volume is also quite good.

"However… up to now, we have hardly received any player feedback."

"If it weren't for Mr. Qin creating momentum up front, Legend's early stage might not have achieved this effect."

"It's strange. Whether online or our company's customer service hotline, we haven't received any feedback."

"Logically speaking, whether they like it or not, players will voice their opinions."

Chen Qiao said this, and his brows involuntarily furrowed.

He isn't afraid of a torrent of criticism; if someone scolds, it shows they still have expectations.

Otherwise, why would others spend time and effort to come criticize you?

No feedback is what's truly frightening.

Lu Yu smiled, and didn't say much more.

Chen Qiao was thus… helpless.

As long as he knows Lu Yu has a plan, that's enough.

Right, I don't know when it started, but Chen Qiao, the founder of Grand and its top leader, now only has trust left for Lu Yu.

He has even reached the point where, when he sees Lu Yu's calm expression, he no longer feels any panic.

"Right, tomorrow Grand Plan will release 'Sword and Distant Lands'; Mr. Qin has organized a grand launch event and invited us."

"We… should we go?"

Chen Qiao asked cautiously.

After all, they are opponents, enemies.

Lu Yu thought for a moment, then said: "Let's go take a look; 'Sword and Distant Lands' looks not bad, we can go learn from it."

"Not only do we need to go, we also need to bring some people from the Technical Department along, to learn from their experience and technology."

""Technical Department?" Chen Qiao looked at Lu Yu with doubt."

Lu Yu lightly nodded, saying: "It's the Technical Department, not the students of Mo Du Electronic Science and Technology University."

""You aren't..." Chen Qiao didn't finish his sentence."

""The Technical Department indeed has spies, but most of them are loyal to Grand; we can't tar everyone with the same brush."

""The colleagues in the Technical Department also need improvement."

Lu Yu said as such.

This is also his plan.

The students in the Computer Lab just need to have the skills; Lu Yu doesn't intend to turn them all into game experts.

After all, their battlefield shouldn't be limited to the gaming world.

On the contrary, although the Technical Department's staff aren't top-tier in skill, they have a deep understanding of games.

In the future, Lu Yu will still design games; he can let them help, so he won't have to shoulder all the planning and work alone.

Of course, this will happen after the spies are found out.

……

The next day, at ten in the morning, a certain exhibition center in Mo Du.

Mr. Qin indeed has a grand hand; he actually rented out the entire first floor of this exhibition center!
