Qisheng's New Game; a Server Complaint

In late October, a slight chill was already in the breeze in Haicheng.

Inside Starfield Game Company.

Deng Jiajia stood beside Su Ye, pleasantly surprised as she looked at her phone. "President Su, you were right. Qisheng's game isn't the same type as ours."

Qisheng's game, Shooting Simulator, had been released that day. Su Ye wasn't particularly interested, but Deng Jiajia, as his secretary, had to keep an eye on it.

She was an employee of the company now too, and she knew that if Qisheng's game was the same type as the one they were making, it would definitely affect them.

But after seeing what Qisheng's game was like, she breathed a long sigh of relief.

President Su is amazing. He knew what Qisheng Game's content would be like a whole month ago.

I wonder if President Su has a girlfriend. If he doesn't...

As she thought about it, Deng Jiajia's mind wandered, and her cheeks reddened.

Su Ye didn't notice Deng Jiajia. He was also looking at Qisheng's new game, Shooting Simulator, on his phone.

He smiled and shook his head. Qisheng had done just what he expected and made a shooting range.

What a genius.

Turning a shooting range into a game? You really are something, kid.

And if you're going to make a shooting range, fine, but what the hell is this gun unlocking system?

In the video, the character controlled by the player couldn't move and could only stand in place and shoot at distant targets.

The player had just one gun, and unlocking new guns required spending money.

Qisheng's baffling decision made Su Ye laugh. He had only one thing to say: "Even 4399 games are more fun than yours."

Yet to his surprise, some players in the comments actually thought it was fun. That... was pretty outrageous too.

He had overestimated how starved for entertainment the players in this world were. The fact that people could praise something like this was truly unbelievable.

He put down his phone and asked, "How is the PUBG project coming along?"

Hearing Su Ye's question, Deng Jiajia quickly replied, "President Su, the basic content for the PUBG project is finished."

"We're debugging the data and testing it now."

Su Ye nodded. He had invested a tremendous amount in PUBG; he really was burning through hundreds of thousands every day.

He had even had Luan Le'an recruit a batch of university students as assistants. It was fair to say that PUBG was also his definitive project at the moment.

He had enormous expectations for this game. It was his battle horn to truly break into online gaming, and the spearhead with which he would introduce everyone to the concept of gaming competitions.

He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and continued, "What about the overseas version of Minecraft? Have you contacted any partners?"

Besides PUBG, releasing Minecraft overseas was another project currently underway.

At home, it was about giving players something to fill their entertainment-starved lives, but overseas was where the real money was.

As the saying went, make your money off foreigners: they were stupid, had lots of money, and enjoyed a fool's luck.

If he was going to make money, he would make it from foreigners. One yuan at home would be one dollar abroad. They could play it or not; if they didn't want to, they could go have fun playing whatever crappy simulators they had.

Deng Jiajia thought for a moment before answering, "President Su, work on overseas matters has already begun."

"Manager Liu, who's in charge of it, has already gone to Eagle Country to discuss a partnership. It should be settled by next week."

"Good. I'll give you all big red envelopes for the New Year."

With such an obedient and capable group of employees, he had to treat them well.

"Thank you, President Su."

Su Ye smiled and waved a hand. "Don't mention it. You've earned it."

"By the way, has production of Leshi Building Blocks started?"

Not long ago, he had spent twenty million acquiring and refitting a toy factory specifically to produce Leshi Building Blocks.

The question left Deng Jiajia somewhat at a loss for words.

"Leshi Building Blocks..."

"What's wrong?"

Apparently hearing something unusual in her response, Su Ye looked at Deng Jiajia and asked.

"Has something happened?"

Deng Jiajia shook her head and continued, "President Su, didn't you put Leshi Building Blocks under Starfield Industries?"

"I don't really know what's happening over there."

Su Ye was taken aback.

Hmm... Deng Jiajia works for Starfield Game Company now. There really is a problem with communication between here and Starfield Industries.

Ah, looks like I'll have to set up a group company too. What a hassle.

As Su Ye was catching up on company business, he didn't know that a problem had appeared on the Xingye Gaming Platform.

Inside a game server called Holy Sword Bearer, something significant was happening.

[Server owner, explain yourself. We paid six yuan, so why haven't you given us anything?]

[Yeah! Your event clearly said we'd get Heavenly Sword equipment for paying six yuan, so why are you making us pay more?]

[Exactly. If I'd known, I wouldn't have paid the six yuan.]

[What a letdown. How did I end up playing on such a garbage server?]

A heated exchange was taking place among the players in the game's public server chat.

Seeing that the players were still cursing him, Fei Wu angrily typed in the public chat.

[Buy it or don't. You really think you're something, huh?]

That single remark infuriated the players.

In an ordinary home, Zhang Ansheng gritted his teeth in anger when he saw what the server owner had said in the public chat.

He took out his phone and photographed the public chat, then closed the game and opened the Xingye Gaming Platform.

There was a complaint channel on the platform. He uploaded the photo directly and began typing a description.

[Platform staff, this person set up a game server.]

[We players were just playing normally when he started a server event, saying we'd get a set of skins for paying six yuan.]

[But after we paid six yuan, he only gave us a few raffle tickets. If we want that set of skins, the guaranteed cost is over a hundred yuan.]

[I feel deeply upset. Please do something about it.]

The message was sent.

Meanwhile, in Starfield's backend office.

Zhang Jiadong sat at his computer scrolling through short videos. He was responsible for handling backend matters.

Usually, no one filed complaints, and even when they did, they were just minor issues that had nothing to do with him.

Just then, a notification sounded on his computer.

He looked up and saw that someone had filed a complaint.

Zhang Jiadong casually opened the complaint and began reading it.

The more Zhang Jiadong read, the more serious his expression became. He narrowed his eyes and carefully read it again, then hurriedly photographed the contents with his phone and stood up.

It was the first time he had encountered something like this, and he felt he needed to tell President Su about it.

If it wasn't handled properly, it could upset the players. He didn't dare handle it himself; it would be bad if something went wrong.
