Chapter 367: New Game Test

"Right, I'll go see your great‑grandmother!"

Ji Yan and Su Yi have had some free time lately, discussed it, and decided to go keep the elderly company.

"Mom, should the company's matters be discussed with Grandma? I want to borrow some interns from your entertainment company, have them appear on camera for promotion, pay them, but not much!"

Ji Yan's studio has become a company. Most of the company's artists are laid‑back, just collecting their salary; completing daily tasks earns them a perfect‑attendance bonus, not much different from regular jobs.

Some people who love art but feel unappreciated are also happy to live and create in this environment.

In Ji Yan's company, the most profitable division is the new media department. Netizens love to look for their favorite senior sisters under the company's new media account and give them a shout‑out.

"What are you going to do?"

Since Su Yu shared the income of her game studio, the activity of her account's fans has been high.

Everyone is closely watching Su Yu, the very high‑profile "princeling", curious about her final results and doubting whether she can take over a group as large as the Su Clan.

The artists in Ji Yan's company already need exposure; she won't miss such an opportunity and will, according to Su Yu's request, pick suitable people in her mind.

"I've added various expression data, animal and plant models, accessory models, everyday object models, etc., into the app; the newly created character expressions are vivid and can portray all kinds of emotions. The environment can also achieve a one‑to‑one replica of real scenes. I want a director or screenwriter to join and shoot a film inside the game."

The workload is a bit large, so it may require a team.

"Sure, where's the contract?"

The company's screenwriters constantly produce scripts, and the directors are busy filming. But there are many interns; if Su Yu's game app really works, Ji Yan will later use public funds to send company staff for training.

Su Yu took the contract out of her briefcase.

After reading it, Ji Yan said, "Send me the electronic version; with these terms, you can only recruit interns."

"Mm‑mm, I know!"

Most people who play games aren't professionals. Su Yu had considered hiring professionals to create an ultra‑strong atmosphere and produce a bunch of especially professional and aesthetic videos.

But after browsing other games' comment sections with exquisite art styles, she gave up the idea.

If she sets the ceiling too high, the initial content shown to players will be too good; when they fail to achieve the promotional effect, they'll criticize the game developers.

Too many complaints make players want to quit. Su Yu's game is still a fledgling, so just hire a few ordinary people.

"Someone's taken it, have them get in touch!"

After speaking, Ji Yan patted Su Yu's head and said, "The price you set is a bit low."

"I didn't originally plan to make it that good!"

Su Yu explained her thoughts. For this test, she intends to invite players and some more professional people from Ji Yan's side to evaluate.

"Alright, I'll tell them directly. Sweetie, is there anything else?"

"That's all, Mom, I'll miss you!"

Su Yu hugged Ji Yan, feeling reluctant to let go.

"Mm, Mom will miss you too!"

Ji Yan and Su Yi left, leaving a bunch of overtime addicts at home. Whenever Su Yu returns home and sees them working so hard, she also starts to hustle.

Soon the day of Su Yu's public test arrived.

Ji Yan explained everything clearly, so the two girls from her company genuinely wanted to play the game and didn't care about the salary.

The recruited players also arrived at the game studio.

With everything ready, Su Yu had everyone turn on all cameras, link them to her account, and start a live broadcast showing how three veteran players, an intern director, and an intern screenwriter create short clips inside the game.

Su Yu instructed the publicity department to monitor public opinion, set up five dedicated live rooms below, and spam gifts to drive traffic to their streams.

【This update seems useless?】【The tech is good, maybe consider a face‑molding game?】【Too few free avatars!】【Is this showing off superiority? Paying players eat so well!】【How to say, luckily the modeling isn't like a person.】【Sob sob, I suddenly wonder, can I mold someone I like to stay with me forever?】【Just five people, can we even find a der, the bugs won't be detected, right?】…

When Su Yu sees useful comments or suggestions, she takes careful notes. For a suggestion like "mold someone you like to stay with you", Su Yu quickly thought of issues such as "emotional attachment", "character image privacy disputes", and so on.

The live broadcast made the participating players very happy! The three of them rank among the top three spenders in this area. Already fond of face‑molding to create characters, they were extremely interested in this new feature! Especially since they could also get a little house! In reality, houses near popular scenic spots are priceless! In the game, their characters can live in a mansion and even pick a plot with a view!

"General Manager Su, please implement this feature as soon as possible!"

"Can't wait, General Manager Su, please hurry, don't spare my wallet!!!"

"Alright!"

After the live broadcast ended, Su Yu compiled everyone's feedback, revised the data, and added a privacy button for players to choose whether to make a created character public or keep it private.

If it is found that someone profits from another's likeness or uses another's image without permission, causing trouble to others, after verification the account will be banned and assistance will be given to official investigations.

Added an ad‑skip privilege: paying VIP customers receive a fixed number of skip cards each week upon login, based on their level. Using one skip card skips a single advertisement.

Added two‑factor password verification. When players redeem merchandise, they must verify the secondary password again. After three failed attempts, the account will be locked, temporarily banned, and messages will be sent to all contact methods linked to the account.

……

Su Yu changed so many parts that she feared bugs, so she ran a full‑game test. The game system distributes experience vouchers based on player activity and spending level.

One experience voucher can create only one character. The voucher is a one‑time item, valid for seven days.

When the event launched, the entire server celebrated, as lively as the New Year!

Especially since Su Yu promised that if players find bugs, the first three reporters will receive rewards, with choices of skip cards, experience vouchers, or merchandise.

Su Yu's game is bustling like a New Year celebration. Everyone in the studio keeps a close eye on the data.

They all hope the game data keeps improving! This little boss is truly generous! When she makes money, she gives out red packets, even big red packets! "Knock knock! Boss, someone is looking for President Ji, they say it's very important!"

"Who is it?"

Why call such an important matter, why not call her mother, but have to find the Su Clan? Wulongcha swayed, 【It's Jiang Yuzhen!】

Su Yu instantly lost interest in going out, "Tell her my mother isn't here!"

"Alright!"

The front desk immediately went out to reply.

【Wulongcha, what is she doing here?】

【Riding the hype, she's out of money!】

Jiang Yuzhen's jewelry was taken by a few brothers of the Jiang Family to repay debts.

The Jiang Family lost the high‑status backing of the Shui Family and fell into internal clan strife, causing investors to shy away. Yet within a month the Jiang Family announced bankruptcy and lost everything, including the Jiang Family's ancestral assets! All of Jiang Yuzhen's older brothers got their shares, but Jiang Yuzhen got none. Her jewelry was sold, yet she received no money! Several Jiang boys siphoned enough money from the company and home, and one by one left Jingdu to develop careers elsewhere.

Jiang Qiyu was thrown into the community nursing home in his hometown, left to fend for himself! Only Jiang Yuzhen remains, and she also wants to return to the upscale residential complex she once lived in, but she has no money! After thinking it over, Jiang Yuzhen thought of her fallen‑heiress persona, her trending factor and her connection with Ji Yan, and decided to launch a hype stunt! She looked at the data of those internet celebrities, each scarier than the last, making the money‑hungry Jiang Yuzhen itch to profit! "Mom, she doesn't want to see me!"

"It wasn't my choice to switch back then!"

"I'm also a victim!"

"All these years, Mom has refused to see me because of the other daughter!"

Jiang Yuzhen cried tears like rain on pear blossoms. Her livestream title was #FallenHeiressBeforeLeavingJingduWantsToSeeMomOneLastTime#.

The long title, however, excited some people!

Those who relish putting the high on a pedestal and stepping on the low saw Jiang Yuzhen's title and immediately bombarded it. They enjoy trampling once‑exalted people, and watching them hurt over various remarks, as if they could draw energy from it.

Those people covertly became Jiang Yuzhen's traffic boosters, increasing her livestream's popularity.

The fan count and concurrent viewers kept rising, making Jiang Yuzhen nearly unable to maintain her persona! Thinking of her money being snatched by her brothers, sadness, anger and other emotions quickly took hold, suppressing her smile!

"I'll wait here; I must see Mom! That may be our last meeting!"

Jiang Yuzhen cried until her liver felt torn, and some "emotional" people began to defect.

【Isn't it just a meeting? What's so hard, can't you come out to see?】【I really don't get the love‑brain world!】【A person leaves Jingdu with no support? Be careful of being "picked up" and then never able to return!】【She's also a pitiful child; after changing identity, she didn't want this either!】…

The barrage of comments defending Jiang Yuzhen increased, and the public relations department received the reports.

"General Manager Su, may I ask if intervention is needed?"

The Su Clan's public relations department's scale is not comparable to Jiang Yuzhen, who just registered and became famous by colliding with Ji Yan and Su Yu. As long as Su Yu wishes, they can now shut down Jiang Yuzhen's livestream.

"No need, I'll call Mom!"

Su Yu returned to her office and made a video call to Ji Yan.

"Baby, good afternoon, have you had lunch?"

"No!"

"Baby, you look so haggard, you need a balance of work and rest!"

Ji Yan was startled by Su Yu's face. Su Yu's bare skin seemed ten years older in an instant! These days, she must have been working herself to death, right?

Ji Yan was a bit worried that after she returns, her baby daughter might get used to this pattern, forcing Su Yi to hustle together!

"Jiang Yuzhen is looking for you, still showing off her IQ in the lobby!"

Su Yu's words were full of jealousy! Mom had said she wouldn't bother her, right?

She can control public opinion, but being confronted still isn't pleasant! Jiang Yuzhen's face is truly huge; she clearly knows what the Jiang Family and Shui Family did, yet puts on an innocent look, riding their family's hype to win sympathy! Ji Yan quickly cleared herself, "Baby, I haven't talked to her since!"

After asking her daughter and understanding her stance, Ji Yan stopped paying attention to Jiang Yuzhen. Moreover, Jiang Yuzhen's purposefulness is too strong.

Back then she returned to the Jiang Family, but never sought her out; now that life is tough she comes looking for her. Jiang Yuzhen thinks Ji Yan is a despicable person? "Hmm, I'll claw at her skin!"

After Su Yu finished speaking, she hung up and had Meng Xianle lead their family's water army to flood Jiang Yuzhen's livestream.

【Your account has been registered for so long, why isn't there a single post about Ji Yan?】【If you even look at Ji Yan's IP, you wouldn't do something so outrageous!】【Riding the hype looks too ugly, right?】【The Jiang Family really is filthy through generations!】【When there's nothing, she's unemployed and raising me cost little; when there's something, she wants to see Mom one last time—are you cursing? Or cursing?】…

Meng Xianle's water army, already seasoned, quickly filled the entire livestream screen. Jiang Yuzhen glanced afterward, dared not look again, and pretended to weep! She also felt very regretful!

Who would have thought the seemingly powerful Shui Family would have a crash day? Thinking of this, Jiang Yuzhen especially resented her cousin Shui Shouhong!

Back then, he impulsively visited a colleague who was checking on him, and that was that. His face itself was the best immunity card, so the leaders would most likely excuse him.

Yet when everyone's tolerance was highest, Shui Shouhong kept making mistakes!

His mind wasn't clear enough in transmitting orders, etc.! Moreover, when completing tasks, he would have minor flaws—not fatal, but a huge risk for teammates.

After once nearly leaking a classified document, he was "retired".

The other members of the Shui Family also lost sharpness; without resources or status, and with Shui Shouhong's grandparents and parents all favoring this precious egg, they were unkind to other clan members.

After Shui Shouhong's family fell from power, no Shui clan member helped them.

They could only slink away from Jingdu, moving back to the Shui Family's old residence to live! "Wuwu, my relatives have all abandoned me, I can't even see any of them!"

Several Jiang brothers didn't want to see her, nor give her money!

The Shui Family left Jingdu, forced to live ordinary lives, with no money to support her as a burdensome dependent. The remaining, ill‑reputed her, wanted to find a way to get money—what's wrong with that? Why must they go to such extremes? Jiang Yuzhen cried, her tears genuinely heartfelt!

Su Yu was relentless!

"Project all the public embarrassments she's had over the years onto the lobby using our latest 3D Projection technology, so she can feel what a live social death feels like!"

The 3D Projection technology newly developed by the Su Clan, in which Su Yu participated, can project virtual figures—including but not limited to game characters, anime characters, real people, etc. —onto a fixed location for interactive actions.

Thanks for the votes, darlings~ Good night, darlings~
