I! Game Designer! Ultimate Tormentor

"Chief Designer Wu, fundamentally, President Lu's opinion represents the higher-ups' stance."

After ending the video call with the Shark executive, Ning Hang said with a smile to Wu Wei:

"And the four of us streamers are also very supportive of this collaboration. After all, the game 'Dance of Ice and Fire' is impeccable, both in terms of gameplay and its unique approach to gaming."

"So, what do you say?"

Wu Wei looked at Ning Hang, then turned to glance around at everyone present, and pondered for a moment.

"If that's the case, I have no issues. This collaboration was, after all, proposed by me on behalf of Platinum Studio."

"However,"

Wu Wei's tone shifted halfway through his sentence.

"Before that, I have a request."

Hearing this, Ning Hang's heart skipped a beat.

Just moments ago, they had settled everything – the process for the collaborative keyboard, the investment amounts from both sides, and other minor details.

Why was there a "however" now?

Was Wu Wei planning to go back on his word?

Shen Yunshi, standing beside him, also looked at Wu Wei with some concern.

Before coming, Wu Wei had told her his expected target for the collaboration. The sincerity shown by Shark not only met Wu Wei's expectations but even exceeded them. Their offer was to cover eighty percent of the costs for this collaborative keyboard and officially authorize the four streamers to sign it. Furthermore, Shark had increased the number of prizes from two hundred to four hundred. Most importantly, Shark had even handled the contact with the keyboard manufacturer, choosing the Varmilo Cherry Axis brand, which had an excellent reputation domestically. The only requests were to include Shark's logo on the collaborative keyboard and for Wu Wei to cooperate with their promotional efforts.

By all accounts, this partnership was incredibly beneficial for Platinum Studio and Wu Wei, with no downsides. In fact, Wu Wei could be considered to have struck a great deal. So why was he preparing to add more conditions now?

For a moment, the atmosphere in the conference room became somewhat tense. Not only Ning Hang, the representative from Shark, but even the four streamers frowned slightly, feeling a bit anxious.

"So... Chief Designer Wu, what are you saying?"

Ning Hang asked, pursing his lips.

The next second, Wu Wei spread his hands, his expression becoming a little uncomfortable.

"It's just... can you stop calling me 'Chief Designer Wu'?"

As he spoke, Wu Wei scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed. "It sounds a bit strange, like my body is somehow..."

Wu Wei gave Ning Hang a knowing look.

The atmosphere in the conference room froze for half a second.

Pfft—

The boss couldn't hold it in first, letting out a chuckle. He covered his face, his body trembling, trying his best not to laugh out loud.

Cousin next to him turned away, coughing forcefully to avoid laughing too exaggeratedly.

Liu Liu and Dai Xiaomei across from them also blushed slightly, pressing their lips together in an effort to stifle their laughter.

Ning Hang, facing Wu Wei's sincere gaze, pinched his own thigh, trying to maintain his composure.

Wu Wei was too devious! If he hadn't brought it up, no one would have thought there was anything wrong with that title! Chief Designer! "Chief Designer"! But Wu Wei's suggestive remark had made it impossible for everyone present to look at that title the same way again!

Ning Hang cursed Wu Wei internally for being so mischievous! He thought the kid had some new demand! Turns out it was just for this! The crucial point was, how was he supposed to face the title "Chief Designer" from now on!

All the attendees in the room wore very strange expressions.

Shen Yunshi was the only one who looked completely bewildered, not understanding what was wrong with Wu Wei's statement.

"Hey, Liu Liu, is there... is there something wrong with the chief designer?"

Shen Yunshi quietly asked Liu Liu.

But Liu Liu was just hunched over the table, her shoulders shaking, waving her hands repeatedly at Shen Yunshi:

"No... it's nothing, don't ask, it's not a big deal."

Dai Xiaomei, standing nearby, spoke up boldly.

"I wonder if this is good for his health or not?"

Hearing Dai Xiaomei's words, Liu Liu couldn't take it anymore, wishing she could hide under the table to laugh.

"Alright... you should say less..."

After a long while, everyone finally recovered from Wu Wei's absurd teasing, their expressions barely returning to normal.

"Ahem,"

Ning Hang cleared his throat:

"Since Wu..."

"Just call me Wu Wei."

"Mr. Wu Wei has agreed to the proposal, so that's decided,"

Ning Hang stood up and shook Wu Wei's hand:

"This way, please wait for me for a moment. The legal department will send over the contract shortly. Once we sign, it will be an official collaboration."

"Thank you, Supervisor Ning."

"It's my pleasure."

Ning Hang went out to handle the contract.

"Oh, damn, I almost couldn't breathe."

Cousin said to Wu Wei, chuckling.

"Exactly, I thought you had some new conditions,"

Dai Xiaomei said, her face flushed, unsure whether to laugh or cry:

"Turns out all you could come up with was that. Just now, I saw Supervisor Ning pinching his own thigh to hold back his laughter."

Dai Xiaomei's words made everyone in the conference room burst into laughter.

After the laughter subsided, they started chatting.

"By the way, do you have any plans for the next game?"

Boss asked.

You know, Wu Wei, that old rogue, his games are truly torturous.

But the gameplay is also incredibly high.

Whether it's Getting Over It or the newly released Dance of Ice and Fire, the gameplay makes players unable to stop.

Therefore, Boss was very much looking forward to Wu Wei's next project.

"Yes,"

Wu Wei nodded and said:

"But for now, it's just a small idea."

"You guys have played my previous two games, Boss. To be honest, they both won by their gameplay, and they were both small-scale endeavors."

Hearing Wu Wei's words, the several streamers nodded.

Indeed, the reason Wu Wei's two games became so popular.
