Assistant

Based on the current situation, Soul Knight's first-month revenue should be around sixteen million.

That was after the official game platform's cut and various taxes had been deducted.

If he deducted the bank loan as well, he would still have roughly fifteen million in funds left.

That might have seemed like a lot, but for Wang Chuan's future plans, it was merely enough.

If it were used to make a VR game or a AAA blockbuster, it would definitely not be enough.

Still, he had not gotten carried away or expected Soul Knight to earn all the money he needed in one go.

After all, capital accumulation was a slow process.

He had more than enough patience to wait.

Soul Knight had now perfectly fulfilled its mission.

He also had a rough idea for future updates, enough to stabilize Soul Knight's profits.

And for a Roguelike game, as long as its future updates did not go off track, Soul Knight was destined to remain active for a long time.

After finishing the design document in his hands, Wang Chuan stretched lazily and comfortably.

He then opened the Pangu Editor and entered the Backend to check Soul Knight's data.

He also dealt with some issues raised by Soul Knight's customer service Outsourcing Team.

Then he roughly sorted through the feedback from the students and the four employees, compiling it into a summary.

And so on.

By the time he had handled everything, it was already late at night.

"Ugh, another day without any sense of presence~~~"

Wang Chuan rubbed his forehead helplessly.

He really wanted to handle everything by himself, but unfortunately, he was not a god. He did not have the energy or time for it all.

Things were still fine for now. Aside from updating and maintaining Soul Knight, there was not much else to do.

He could spend his time dealing with miscellaneous tasks.

But what about later???

When he started developing a new game, would he still have so much free time?

That was impossible!!!

So,

"I need to find an assistant~~~"

With a sigh, Wang Chuan gazed at the glittering stars outside the window and fell into thought.

The next morning, inside the villa.

"Huang Shanshan, Zhao Jing, Liu Qiang, Zhou Wei, come over here for a moment."

During their break, Wang Chuan called everyone over.

"Boss, is something wrong?"

After coming over, Huang Shanshan asked naturally.

Today, she wore a light-yellow dress that revealed her fair calves, looking like an elf among flowers.

"I called you here because I want you to write a proposal for the subsequent updates."

Wang Chuan involuntarily glanced over. This girl really was not small anymore.

"Huh???"

The others all looked surprised and instinctively voiced their confusion.

"After some time, our company will need to expand. We'll have to recruit more people then, so work hard. You might even have a chance to get promoted."

"Also, I'm afraid I won't have time to handle Soul Knight's future updates, so I'll leave them to you."

After thinking about it, Wang Chuan directly handed the task over to the four of them, while also giving them some encouragement.

Still, he needed to find himself an assistant!!!

Yesterday's idea surfaced in his mind again.

Although this world had the Pangu Editor, a divine tool for Game Producers,

developing a game alone with that tool was still exhausting.

After all, a game involved every possible aspect. The broad framework was manageable, but once things had to become more detailed, it became difficult.

Some might say that Wang Chuan had solved everything by himself for his first game, The Stanley Parable.

Yes, that was true. He had indeed made that game alone with the Pangu Editor.

But the circumstances were different.

Back then, he had been a newcomer, and what he made had been a tiny production among tiny productions.

But now? He was the boss of a company!

The games he made in the future definitely would not always be small productions.

At that point, he would not be able to do it alone.

Therefore, finding himself an assistant in advance would, on the one hand, make things easier for him.

He could hand over the unimportant yet necessary foundational work to the assistant.

He himself could then focus on controlling the overall direction and the key areas.

On the other hand, he could also develop the assistant's abilities and directly promote them into a core team member later on.

At first, he had planned to recruit a capable, experienced person directly from society.

Having that person serve as his assistant would have been much simpler.

But the loyalty of people from outside was not very reliable!!

So he reconsidered and thought of the four people in the company.

Why not try choosing from within???

After all, being able to join Huangtu Game Company and pass Wang Chuan's interview

proved that Huang Shanshan, Zhao Jing, and the others possessed a certain level of ability and loved games.

Moreover, after spending some time together, he knew that the four of them had fairly dependable temperaments.

Since that was the case, why not put in a little effort to nurture one of them???

After all, the assistant he wanted right now only needed to help him handle some affairs.

Huangtu Game Company currently had little to deal with, so it did not need someone capable of standing on their own.

Someone who could help him deal with basic matters would be enough.

As for independently taking charge, that would come sooner or later after enough time spent training.

"But, Boss, I studied art. I don't know anything about game development~~~"

A trace of nervousness showed in Huang Shanshan's eyes as she waved her fair little hands.

She was a little bewildered. What was wrong with the boss???

"Those are all minor issues!!!"

Wang Chuan looked teasingly at the beauty before him and smiled as he shook his head.

If someone had never studied game development, did that mean they could not make games???

Of course not!!!

There were many masters in the game industry who had not started out as professional Game Producers.

That was true in both his previous life and this world.

For example, Richard Garriott, who created the Genesis series and the massively successful MMORPG Ultima Online, became the sixth space tourist, and was known as the King of Britannia.

For example, Hidetaka Miyazaki, who only encountered games in his thirties, worked at Oracle, and eventually made his first game.

For example, Hideo Kojima, who had always wanted to become a director but ultimately became a game master and made stealth games shine brilliantly.

And so on.

None of them had studied game development, yet they all ultimately became renowned masters.

So whether someone had studied game development was not the key issue.

The key was whether they had the talent!!!
