Where Are Your Simplicity and Shyness?

After Ya Ya Did Not Wear Today and Zhuan Lun Ge, Dream Builder did not stop recruiting.

It was just that there were no longer any figures who required Xu Meng to personally step up and interview.

He was able to throw himself into his work heart and soul.

Thus, from his perspective, Dream Builder gradually entered a stable period, with major departments working in full swing and tasks advancing in an orderly manner.

Yet in reality, from the employees' perspective, Dream Builder had constantly been undergoing drastic changes.

The impact of personnel turnover persisted.

Aside from the "pests" that Xu Meng had ruthlessly chopped away on the first day, there were also those who left successively afterward.

--These people had already found their next employers before Xu Meng even issued the announcement.

Though after Xu Meng's flurry of operations, they had gained some confidence in Dream Builder, the higher salary temptation of job-hopping was stronger, and they still left according to plan.

Besides them, former Art Director Yang Hui and former Narrative Director Meng Bing, after resigning, successively persuaded several close confidants to leave together.

Whether to put on a show of force or not, they came to the company to complete their resignation procedures on the exact same day, and their confidants also applied to resign on that very day.

This caused a small sensation among the employees.

Yet the person they most wanted to demonstrate against--Xu Meng, did not show his face at all, remaining perpetually immersed in the world of code.

The Personnel Department had also been constantly hiring, quickly filling the vacancies with new employees.

This tiny mishap vanished into nothingness.

As for their attacks on the internet, compared to the power of those internet trolls hired by Konjac Games, it was simply not worth mentioning. Outside of those who knew them in Dream Builder, absolutely no one cared.

After the storm of personnel changes subsided, a new major move quickly followed--

At the request of boss Xu Meng, Dream Builder created the industry's very first social network censorship mechanism.

This system was extremely strict, yet simultaneously extremely flexible.

The strictness lay in: as long as you indicated in your account that you were an employee of Dream Builder, all your historical posts would be checked line by line.

Any extreme speech--whether male chauvinist or female chauvinist, or hating one's country and admiring foreigners, would be required to be deleted, with a guarantee never to publish extreme speech again.

If the "concentration" was too high, one might even face dismissal.

And the extreme flexibility lay in: if you did not indicate your relationship with Dream Builder on your personal account at all, you could post whatever you liked.

--Unless you were not a rank-and-file employee.

Above middle management, as long as you had a social account, you could not have any extreme speech. If you had any, delete it for me!

The ACG Game circle environment in this world was so vicious that Xu Meng had to take precautions before they happened.

Not to mention, he didn't like people who liked to stir up trouble in the first place.

Subsequent hires would also have this aspect of audit requirements added.

After the chaotic hubbub of social network censorship passed, the boss relentlessly whipped out a brand-new office software--[Intelligent Collaboration Development Tool].

At first, everyone thought the boss had also started those outrageous maneuvers of "grasping attendance fiercely when the company is about to collapse."

Yet once they actually used this tool, they immediately understood--it was nothing like that at all! This tool was simply ridiculously strong! Allowing teams responsible for different sections of a project to synchronize progress, coordinate thinking, and save communication costs was merely the most basic function.

It also reserved a massive number of interfaces, capable of connecting other development software to provide intelligent support for these development tools.

Whether it was game development engines, drawing, modeling, sound effects, simulation, control, or other tools, all could be plugged in.

Its intelligent assistance functions could even write code, create melodies, and draw illustrations based on spoken descriptions!--Of course, this part of the capability was temporarily rather retarded, falling far short of replacing human labor.

Yet inspiring inspiration, saving energy, and improving efficiency was beyond doubt.

Employees overflowing with curiosity wanted to see which company had developed this software, but searched the entire internet without finding any clues.

Finally, Chen Mengling informed them in the work group that the boss had hammered this out with his own bare hands, instantly shocking everyone.

They found it hard to believe.

Yet apart from their own company, they truly had not seen this software anywhere else, and ultimately had to try accepting such a fact--their own boss was actually a programming genius? By the time they fully adapted to this brand-new work software, half of May had already passed.

Xu Meng finally managed to free up some time and began strolling among the various departments to display his presence.

This stroll made him feel as if ages had passed.

The atmosphere in the Art Department had undergone earth-shaking changes--

Originally they were like a group of bound-foot painters, hiding and acting too shy to draw even slightly lewded original art, and for this reason even had Xu Meng change their office.

Yet now, as Xu Meng just approached their office, before even knocking, he heard a sister inside heroically shouting: "How many boobs did you all draw today?"

"???" Xu Meng almost thought he had walked into the wrong place.

Even more outrageously, after this question was raised, responses were actually numerous: "Two pairs!"

"Four!"

"Three!"

"Six!"

"How come there's one with three?" Xu Meng was dumbfounded.

Thump, thump, thump! He raised his hand and knocked on the door, pushing it open to walk inside.

He originally thought they would restrain themselves a bit after his appearance, but everyone merely glanced at him, shouted a "Hello, boss," and after finishing the greeting, continued chatting animatedly without the slightest bit of mind--

"Let me tell you, I lurked in ACG Game groups, collected a massive amount of chat log evidence, and finally came to a major discovery: players all like round milk!"

"Bulls**t! Eight-character milk is the most perfect!"

"What perfect or imperfect, what players like is the most important!"

"How do you know players don't like eight-character milk?"

"Stop arguing, you guys, players only like big ones, whichever is bigger they like!"

"Impossible, even among big thunders, there are gaps!"

Xu Meng had black lines all over his head.

Was this a topic that could be shouted and argued about out loud? What on earth was wrong with you people?

Scarcely half a month had passed, where had all your original simplicity and shyness gone?

Xu Fang had a meticulous mind, and just by looking at Xu Meng's expression guessed his thoughts, so he walked over to explain: "These guys communicate every day about how to draw characters more sexy. After Tang Ya came, she suggested they look at more fan-made doujinshi, spicy illustrations, and adult cosplayer paid photo packs."

"Slowly, the office atmosphere turned out like this..."

"Every day, aside from child carts, they drive every kind of cart."

What could Xu Meng say? "...That's really nice."

After all, their work efficiency had been sky-high over the past half month, and they had basically completed the character original art updates and character standing art finalizations.

Now that emergency tasks were gone, they had already started drawing second sets of outfits for the characters.

This was also the strategy Xu Meng established--rather than desperately churning out new characters, it was better to roll out more good-looking new clothes for old characters.

As long as the clothes were sexy/good-looking enough, the money-making effect was not a bit worse than new characters.

After all, cultivating feelings between players and characters also took time.

If too many new characters came out too frequently, players would slowly become numb to it. It would be a squeeze on the inspiration and creativity of art staff, as well as the stamina of modelers and animators, and for the scale of Dream Builder, it had more disadvantages than advantages.

Therefore, since they were full of energy and wanted to exchange techniques to improve each other, then let them exchange...

He patted Xu Fang's shoulder and said, "Have employees from the other offices come over too, I have a new task for you."

"A new task?" Xu Fang was somewhat curious.

Xu Meng did not hide things: "Right, do you know about the Battle Damage Clothing System?"

"???"
