The Little Secretary's Burden Grew Heavier

The reason he had all four of them write a follow-up update plan was to see what kind of talent each of them had in game development—to have them put down everything they thought could be added to the game in terms of content, modes, gameplay, and so on.

"Well, okay then, I'll give it a try. But we agreed beforehand—if it's not good, you can't blame me, okay~~~"

Huang Shanshan twisted the hem of her skirt, a faint blush on her face, and said in a coquettish tone.

"Okay~~~"

Wang Chuan rarely saw her acting like a young girl, so he couldn't help but take an extra look.

Still, it was clear that although his suggestion had caught them off guard, once they agreed to it, their spirits were all quite high.

None of them had studied game development, but being able to join Huangtu Game Company meant they all had a sincere faith in games.

Just being part of a game's creation already made them happy.

Now they had the chance to go a step further—to participate in the game's later development and personally craft a beloved game. That was definitely an amazing thing.

The next day at noon, inside the villa.

During a break, the four of them handed their plans to Wang Chuan and quietly waited for his evaluation.

"Hmm, hmm, hmm~~~"

Flipping through each plan one by one, Wang Chuan's brow furrowed slightly.

But then it relaxed again as he started mulling things over in his mind.

To be honest, he was quite dissatisfied with the content.

But considering none of them were game development professionals, it was understandable.

After reading through Zhao Jing's, Liu Qiang's, and Zhou Wei's plans, he had little hope left.

But to his surprise, when he saw Huang Shanshan's plan, Wang Chuan's eyes lit up!

Because the content actually impressed him.

For example, Huang Shanshan suggested adding a competitive racing mode to the game.

Or introducing a method where players could earn activity points to redeem character trial passes.

She also had the idea of adding an endless mode.

And so on, and so forth!

These ideas were completely different from the others. The others mostly focused on adding game content to boost player activity and sustain the game's lifespan.

But Huang Shanshan's thinking was more forward-looking—she could reasonably increase the game's profitability.

That was what truly surprised Wang Chuan!!

If Zhao Jing, Liu Qiang, and Zhou Wei were seeing the first layer, and Wang Chuan was seeing the fifth, then Huang Shanshan had already reached the third!

This was exactly what Wang Chuan always talked about—someone with a talent for game development!

Without any professional training, Huang Shanshan could grasp game modes and mechanics, and even figure out how to monetize the game without breaking its balance.

You could say she already had the qualifications to become a full-fledged game producer.

It might sound a bit harsh, but that's just how it is!

Whether in his past life or this world, a game's ability to generate profit is extremely important.

Because only when a game makes money does the producer get paid, and with income, they can operate the game more diligently—or even develop the next one.

Otherwise, who would keep pouring in passion and working for love alone?

Take a game from his past life: Black Myth: Wukong.

It wasn't popular at first—it only blew up after a real-machine demo was released to recruit talent.

And the studio behind it had also developed a mobile game to siphon in a large amount of funds.

On top of that, they accepted plenty of investments, which finally allowed them to develop that game.

"Not bad, worthy of my little secretary~~~"

Wang Chuan thought of Huang Shanshan's expression, couldn't help but smile, and nodded in satisfaction.

At the same time, he drew a checkmark on her plan document, signaling that it had passed.

In truth, aside from what he'd already mentioned, some parts of Huang Shanshan's plan were a bit one-sided.

But those issues could basically be corrected after she worked on a few games with him.

For what Wang Chuan needed right now, Huang Shanshan was already up to the task.

As for strength development later on, that can be gradually enhanced!

After confirming this, Wang Chuan didn't call everyone in for individual talks.

Instead, he directly posted the news in the company group chat, while also giving Zhao Jing, Liu Qiang, and Zhou Wei a heads-up.

After all, the company would keep expanding over time, and only by continuously learning and improving could the few of them keep up with the company's growth.

Following that, Wang Chuan also sent each person a big red envelope!

This counted as a bonus. Although the game's profits hadn't been collected yet, there was no doubt it would make money, so he decided to let everyone celebrate early.

After all, you can't keep talking about dreams with others—dreams can't fill your stomach.

He had always believed that only by making sure the people following you are well-fed, well-paid, and living comfortably can you reap greater returns.

Money is something you can never finish earning. Giving up a small portion to win your subordinates' loyalty—why not do it?

As for game profit shares for the team, there were none.

Because that was meant for the game development team, and the creation and development of Soul Knight were all handled by Wang Chuan alone!!!

The others mostly played supporting roles.

After sorting all this out, Wang Chuan leaned back in his chair and let out a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he opened the system to take a look!

Now that Soul Knight had been online for over a month, it had accumulated some Fan Points.

Combined with the Fan Points saved up from The Stanley Parable before, Wang Chuan's system now had about three million Fan Points stored.

Seeing this, Wang Chuan got an idea~~~

He was about to develop the next game anyway, so he might as well do a few pulls to boost his own abilities.

That way, the next game could be made a little more perfect.

Although his memory held game design concepts that didn't exist in this world, along with the system's support, he was still lacking in the finer details of game development.

Right now, making small-budget games wasn't a big deal!!

But in the future, when he wanted to create VR games, AAA titles, and other high-quality games, he would need enough strength.

He entered the system and went straight to the Big Wheel, without any hesitation.

He went for thirty Ten-Pulls right away!!

Instantly, a dazzling golden light flooded Wang Chuan's vision.

Since this Ten-Pull session had far more pulls than before, the golden glow was especially boisterous this time!
