Chapter 618: An Epic and Great Work

"Hey, this netizen is not fun either." Luo Quan clicked on the pathfinding prompt on the interface, running tasks step by step—collecting rewards—accepting tasks—running tasks.

Watching the level rise from Lv1 to Lv20, but feeling nothing at all, there was no sense of strike when fighting monsters, the equipment had no characteristics, and the plot was even more shoddy; after watching a few sentences of dialogue, Luo Quan directly started skipping.

She really didn't know what was fun about such an MM (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game); a bunch of fans even let her live stream it.

After playing for an hour, Luo Quan really couldn't persist: "Fans, this game is really not very good; let's change to another one, change to one that's a bit more fun."

Luo Quan said, directly entering the browser, preparing to download Blizzard Battle. net.

Since she wanted to play MM, how could she bypass the ancestor, World of Warcraft? Even if it had been released for twenty years, it was still the most excellent existence of this type in this world.

But when Luo Quan put her fingers on the keyboard, her movements instantly stiffened.

This world seemed to have no Blizzard, no Warcraft!

Luo Quan's pupils dilated, she took a light cold breath, took out her mobile phone, and searched for terms like "Blizzard" and "Warcraft" in a place where fans in the live broadcast room couldn't see.

My God, there really isn't!

The memories of a whole generation didn't exist in this world; then she absolutely couldn't let such a masterpiece be buried.

"Fans, there are no fun games; let's play other small games; I'm very good at Plants vs. Zombies." Luo Quan said, clicking on the flower-like icon on the desktop.

An hour later, Springwater Company Game Studio, Li Jiang had already distributed the bonuses to the employees and was discussing with everyone where to go to have a meal to celebrate tomorrow.

As a result, Luo Quan made a phone call, explaining a series of tasks.

Li Jiang could be considered someone who had done a big project, but hearing the boss's strategic layout and the next task requirements, he also felt light-headed, feeling that the difficulty wasn't generally big.

But organizing his thoughts, at least he knew what to do for now.

"Clap clap clap!" Li Jiang clapped his hands, "Everyone, pay attention, listen to me for two sentences; now there is a good piece of news and a bad piece of news; which one do you want to hear first?"

"Good news!" Employees immediately responded.

"The good news is that the boss knows we worked hard this time, so she gave everyone seven days of paid leave."

"Wuhu!" A burst of cheers sounded below.

As programmers, hearing the four words "paid leave" felt like a huge relief.

In other companies before, facing the computer and typing code every day was incredibly boring and exhausting, and they would work overtime at the drop of a hat, and holidays were occupied as they pleased, simply driving people crazy.

Only in this company could they have such treatment; there were no mandatory work indicators at all, everyone walked the progress step by step, and some even took the initiative to suggest working more overtime because they weren't used to it, only to be scolded by Supervisor Li as being cheap.

Now that they had just shared the bonus and had a long week of paid leave, they were so moved that they almost wanted to set up a tablet for Luo Quan and take it home to worship.

"Then what is the bad news?" After returning from joy, the employees asked this question again.

"The bad news is that after returning from the holiday, we need to produce a 12-episode 25-minute 3D animation; speed and quality are both required, so the next work might not be as easy as before."

An employee laughed: "Look at what you said; in the previous company, my hair almost became a Mediterranean, and after coming here, it grew back; friends even asked me where I went for hair implants."

Others heard this and laughed repeatedly.

"Having this awareness is fine, but the boss said that while the task is heavy, she won't squeeze us to death; it's still mandatory not to work overtime, with weekends off, but when working, there won't be too many gaps for you to fish."

"Especially those who like to use the name of taking a big dump to go to the toilet to play with mobile phones—I won't name who it is; before, the task was light, so I was too lazy to care, but if this situation happens again, just settle the account and leave!"

As a supervisor, Li Jiang knew deeply that combining kindness and power was a very important means to manage a team well.

Blindly favoring would only raise a bunch of young masters; knocking from time to time was necessary, otherwise, some people would easily push their luck.

Here, Li Jiang didn't name names, and his eyes were always looking straight ahead.

However, those employees who had been lazy also knew in their hearts, so they lowered their heads a bit embarrassedly.

Fortunately, the atmosphere was good now, and Li Jiang left them some face, but if they continued to be so loose, they would probably have to leave.

Loose company management didn't mean that employees could be so sloppy at work; professional ethics still had to be there.

The next day, Luo Quan posted a dynamic:

"The game studio under Springwater Entertainment Company is officially renamed Blizzard Studio, with the English name Blizzard."

"In addition, the studio will not immediately start the research and development of the second game after launching the first game 'Final Fantasy'; we will first produce a 3D animation, and specific news will be announced later."

Once this dynamic came out, it could be said to have caused some waves in the game circle.

First of all, there was nothing to say about the renaming; famous big factories were all producing games in the form of studios, and famous ones included TiMi, Lightspeed, and so on.

And the source of the name Blizzard could be considered traceable; after all, Luo Quan's account on YouTube, besides being called Izumi, had also used the screen name zard.

However, the animation production announced next was quite intriguing; at present, the animation industry in Europe and America was far less developed than in East Asia, basically focusing on comic adaptation movies.

Luo Quan chose to take such a path; was it again with the intention of founding a sect?

However, animation wasn't considered a niche in the world; Naruto, One Piece, Dragon Ball, etc., were all very popular, and Pokémon was the most valuable IP in the world, so as long as it was done well, animation could also make big money.

But this time, Luo Quan was making 3D animation, which wasn't the mainstream of Japanese animation, but rather like the style of China.

Of course, Europe and America had it too, and what Europe and America did most was 3D, but they weren't very formal; the vast majority were 18+ content.

Could it be that Luo Quan also wanted to get involved in this industry and personally provide welfare for two-dimensional otaku all over the world?

If so, then Luo Quan's personality charm was really too great, simply flesh-body (preventing harmony) alms, immeasurable merit.

The above outrageous remarks all came from Luo Quan's Twitter and Bilibili comment sections; fans knew what was in the brains of LSPs.

However, although male fans scolded such remarks, whether they wanted to watch it or not, they knew it themselves.

Still the same sentence, some people might not appreciate this kind of culture, but pure rushing was definitely going to be rushed.

"Rush your big head ghost!"

Luo Quan, in the midst of her busy schedule, saw these comments and almost smoked with anger; a good work preview directly became a driving scene, simply outrageous.

So after making the promotional poster for the animation, she didn't wait for any evening and directly released it.

"Blizzard Studio's new animation work 'Azeroth' will start production in a week; this is a grand magic epic!"

Then below was a picture of Illidan transforming into a Demon Hunter, with double horns on his head, bat wings on his back, a piece of blue cloth covering his eyes, green flames surrounding his body, and holding the Warglaives of Azzinoth, simply cool to the point of explosion.

Seeing this character picture, the melon-eating masses were directly stunned.

"Go, is this a demon, but it feels a bit different from the demons in traditional stories."

"What a handsome big demon; is he the male lead?"

"Luo Quan's modeling has always been online; it's indeed easier for beautiful people to design good-looking things."

"Magic background? Is it the type like Lord of the Rings?"

"Personally feel this painting style doesn't look like it; there are no such handsome characters in Lord of the Rings."

"Luo Quan is going to make a big move again; feel this time it won't be just a simple animation."

………………

Although it was just a picture and a paragraph of text, the big cake Luo Quan drew had always been both delicious and good-looking; whether it was passersby or fans, they all expressed that they ate it with relish.

And abroad, the media also expressed their views on this animation production plan, most of which were quite optimistic.

Before, there was only one plan, so it wasn't easy to evaluate, but now with actual pictures, seeing the small from the big, there was a preliminary understanding of the quality.

Of course, under normal circumstances, it was impossible to make any judgment based on a concept map.

But who let the object be Luo Quan? Luo Quan, who had almost never missed a shot since her debut.

And now "Final Fantasy" was selling well, selling 8 million sets in five days, with sales as high as 300 million USD; Luo Quan and the Blizzard Studio under her could be said to be in full swing.

Even if Luo Quan announced now that she was going to build a rocket, it was estimated that no one would jump out to question her.

Of course, she certainly didn't have the leisure to brag about these things now; on the second day after the animation promotional picture was released, she went to the hospital.

Of course, she didn't have any illness herself; going to the hospital was to accompany her mother.

Her mother, who was pregnant in March, had already entered the hospital to wait for delivery according to the doctor's instructions.

The due date was at the beginning of 2019, but it might also be a few days early, but anyway, it was after 2019, and it wouldn't be later than January 1st at the earliest.

This wasn't certain; mainly, earlier than this time would be a premature baby, which was something Eric absolutely didn't want to see, so he invited the best team in the best obstetrics and gynecology hospital to take care of her 24 hours a day.

Eric himself put down all the work at hand, moved into his wife's ward, and slept on the bed next door.

Luo Quan was next door; when she had time, she would tiptoe over, first open the door a crack to take a look, and if her mother was sleeping, she would gently close the door again.

At this stage, nothing in the world was bigger than her mother and sister.

Thinking that she would see her sister in at most a month and a half, Luo Quan was also a bit excited.

Although she had a younger brother, Gao Liang, they hadn't lived together for the first ten years; this kind of emotion of watching each other grow up was still lacking.

But now, she, the older sister, could become a guide on her sister's growth path together with her mother.

Forget about her father in this regard; he didn't have the experience of bringing up a baby; just run the company well.

As for Gao Liang, the only thing Luo Quan had to do was ensure that he absolutely couldn't hear his rap at home.

Don't know why, Luo Quan felt that she seemed to be a bit sensitive, but thinking about it carefully, being a little sensitive about her sister wasn't excessive.

After moving into the hospital, Luo Quan's whereabouts were inevitably photographed by some paparazzi posing as patients in the hospital.

"Luo Quan enters the obstetrics and gynecology department again" hit the hot search again, but this time it didn't have as big a rhythm as the last time; even if you used your toes to think, you should be able to guess that this was Luo Quan's mother entering the hospital to wait for delivery.

At this time, going to bring the rhythm again was honestly a bit worse than poultry; so the comment section was all wishing Luo Quan's mother and daughter safety.

Luo Quan also specially posted a tweet to thank everyone for their blessings; in addition, she also indicated that although she had moved into the hospital, she hadn't been idle, and work was still continuing; please look forward to it.

This time, it was the fans' turn to feel embarrassed; before, everyone was urging Luo Quan to release new works, urging her all the time.

But seeing Luo Quan being so diligent even after moving into the hospital, they felt that they had been too excessive before, so they expressed that Luo Quan didn't need to be so urgent during this time.

Luo Quan didn't say anything; after all, it wasn't her waiting for delivery; she moved in mainly to have one more person to take care of things, preventing any unexpected situations.

When having a physical examination, she tested her blood; she and her mother had the same blood type and could perfectly match.

In addition, there were various types of medical skills in the mall, from internal medicine to surgery, from andrology to gynecology.

As long as Luo Quan was willing, she could instantly turn into a surgical saint, and her craftsmanship was even more precise than the vast majority of chief surgeons.

Let's put it this way: her hands could be as steady as a machine, and with full concentration, they wouldn't even tremble.

If something really happened, she might be able to come in handy.

Of course, theoretically, the probability of unexpected situations was minimal.

Although her mother was older, her physical examination results had always been healthy, and she had always followed the doctor's advice in terms of nutrition and exercise.

As for the fetus, the situation in all aspects was very good, the fetal position was normal, and it wasn't an ectopic pregnancy.

Of course, for the sake of safety, a cesarean section could also be performed directly, which was also the first choice for many pregnant women in the United States at present.

However, Luo Ni was more traditional and felt that a cesarean section wasn't good for the baby, so she chose a natural birth with a slightly higher risk.

Actually, the risk was limited; after all, it wasn't ancient times, it was the 21st century.

In the middle of the night, in the hospital corridor, Luo Quan saw her father who couldn't sleep.

He was leaning against the wall smoking alone, his expression depressed.

After the two looked at each other, Eric showed a bitter smile: "When the sister is born, Dad will go for a vasectomy; your mom is at this age, after all, not as young as she used to be; even if she made so many preparations, she's still a bit afraid."

Luo Quan knew that Dad was worried and confused; everyone was actually the same, so she comforted: "Don't worry, Dad, everything will definitely go smoothly." ===== CHAPTER 619 =====
