Only after I was reborn did I realize that I had green plums.

Chapter 500 if Extra Chapter Cloud Chapter 3·over
What is it like to realize your childhood career dream?

nice?
Actually not.

Because treating your hobby as your job is really not a very happy thing.

I have been working for more than two years. Although I have been employed in the game industry that I love, making games in China is really not a cool thing.

Known as a game planner, what he does every day is actually just arranging tables, modifying text, specifying the plan on the main PPT into the interaction logic with the program docking function, and checking resource requirements with the artist.

Although as a newcomer in the workplace, you should indeed have your own process of accumulating experience.

But, when your plans are rejected time and time again because they are unprofitable——

When the gameplay design of the game is all focused on how to attract users to spend money——

When I realize that the chief producer is actually just a tool to serve the boss——

Mei Fang's enthusiasm for the gaming industry is fading.

This kind of life is just about making ends meet.

Compared with the ninth art that I originally expected, it is really far away.

So, on a frantic morning, Mei Fang finally decided to make a change.

He submitted a resignation application to the company and declined the chief executive's salary increase to retain him.

It’s too little added, haha.

Who do you look down on?
Mei Fang only thinks about making money now.

Keep making money, and then save enough money.

Use this money to make indie games.

Its own independent game.

It won’t work if you make the game entirely based on your own ideas.

That proves that I really am not good at making games.

Well, let's do it this way...

Determined to make independent games, Mei Fang no longer felt any psychological burden. He submitted his resume to the big "money-making" mobile game companies that he looked down on before.

After a month of competition, Mei Fang chose a major overseas mobile game publisher with the best treatment.

This large factory is located in Yangcheng, with a total of several thousand employees. On her first day of employment, Mei Fang didn’t even know the location of her work station. She didn’t even have time to communicate with her colleagues in the same project team, so she had to be sent for training. Office for onboarding training and corporate culture learning.

New employee training like this must be conducted once a month, and then employees must be able to put it into use directly, and those who cannot be put into use will be eliminated directly.

Most gaming companies in Yangcheng are famous for their sweatshops, and this operation is a very standard process.

However, although the company in Yangcheng is very hard-working, there is still some humanistic care, for example -

At 06:30 on Saturday morning, all newcomers are invited to participate in a quality development activity, which is the so-called team building. Anyone who asks for leave without special reasons will be deemed to have failed the probation period.

Don’t think this is a bad company that takes up employees’ rest time!
This company is usually open all week long, and we have to work on Saturdays!
So, this is already very conscientious!

Mei Fang set an alarm for 5 o'clock, got up in a hurry to wash up, and then took the bus to wait for the bus in front of the company.

Because the factory has a new project development plan, there are also a lot of new people who have joined the company recently, but most of them are very young and immature faces. School recruitment accounts for the majority, like Mei Fang, who has been working for two years and is already considered an old person. Oily.

Having said that, the right to speak among the newcomers is still controlled by the "big brothers" recruited from the society. Everyone teases and compliments each other, not necessarily expressing their dissatisfaction with this kind of team building, but enjoying it very much. social atmosphere.

Because the company often requires overtime work, the proportion of female employees is not high. The few girls who dress up beautifully and fashionably became the focus of this team building.

A few chatty girls were surrounded by stars in the center, while other average-looking girls gathered in small groups in the corners to chat and strike up conversations, trying to make themselves less obtrusive.

Mei Fang was the only one in the group who was alone.

He stood there brushing his pussy for a long time. Seeing that the driver and the HR person never showed up, he felt a little bored. He squinted his eyes and yawned.

Mei Fang looked at her watch, and then when she raised her head, she suddenly met her eyes with a short-haired girl wearing glasses not far away.

The girl's figure looks very well-proportioned, and she is wearing a black and white hooded sweatshirt; at the same time, she is also walking towards her trend quickly——

Mei Fang subconsciously looked back behind her, and when she looked back again, the girl had already looked away and passed by Mei Fang with long strides.

……

Yes, delusional?
Mei Fang didn't think much and just continued to play with her phone.

The company's personnel arrived on the bus one after another with their things. The young male colleagues actively stepped forward to help, trying to show their mature charm in front of the personnel girls.

On the way to the team building venue, everyone was talking and laughing in the car, and Mei Fang took this opportunity to take a nap with her eyes closed.

He couldn't help but remember that when he just graduated, he was just as full of enthusiasm and vitality.

Full of expectations to become a well-known game producer.

In just two years, he has completely changed.

However, it’s not the time to rush to complain about everything…

Ah!
Mei Fang took a look at the dynamic link on Penguin that he posted some time ago about online cooperative independent games. He planned and programmed this project himself, and has already started writing the basic framework.

Mei Fang received countless likes and comments, but no one was really interested in Mei Fang's plan.

Indeed, now is the era of performance, and excellent art design can easily gain countless attention.

Without a good art performance to promote, trying to attract attention solely by creative gameplay is a bit like trying to spread a pie, which is inherently difficult.

But where can I find such great art?

Now I can only accumulate more contacts in big factories and see if there are any opportunities to cooperate with anyone in the future...

Everyone kept singing during the first half, but then they began to get tired and lay down on their seats to rest.

Mei Fang had already woken up at this time, and he took advantage of this time to post a new update on the social platform, which was about yesterday's update log of his independent game plan.

As soon as he clicked publish, he heard a "ding-dong" sound coming from the car.

The ding-dong sound seemed to come from the seat next door.

It's the short-haired girl wearing glasses just now.

She seemed embarrassed when her phone made a sound. She covered her phone and quickly turned down the volume and lowered her head.

Probably aware of Mei Fang's observing gaze, he glanced at Mei Fang subconsciously when he lowered his head.

They looked at each other again.

She looked away immediately.

He looked very ashamed.

……

This also made Mei Fang a little embarrassed.

Is it too offensive to stare at her like that?
It seems, a bit...

However, that shy expression seems to have a familiar feeling...

what.

What am I thinking?Mei Fang also felt that she had become a little strange.

"Thank you for your hard work along the way! Those who want to use the restroom should go to the restroom first, and others can buy water first."

"Hey, classmate, you don't need to take your bag with you. Just hold your phone. The next trip will be a bit hard..."

"Hey, Sister Song, the team building quality development you are talking about doesn't mean mountain climbing, right? Hahaha?"

"Hahaha, of course it won't be a simple mountain climbing. We are a game company."

The head of the HR department, Sister Juan, smiled and said:
"In addition to the mountain climbing march, we will also set up four teams. Have you all played racing games, right? We will get points according to the ranking. The team with the No. 1 points will get a mysterious grand prize. Otherwise, the last place will get There is a punishment!”

"Oh, that looks like fun!"

"As long as I'm not the last one..."

"Sister Juan, remember to assign more girls to our red team. I feel more motivated when I run with girls!"

“All the boys in the blue team expressed their disagreement with their names!”

"So is Team Yellow!"

Regarding the allocation of teams, HR has already arranged it before departure. After each team determines the team members, it selects a person to be the captain, who is responsible for calling and leading the team to move forward together.

The yellow team that Mei Fang belongs to is led by a sturdy uncle who looks like he has a hearty smile. Coincidentally, the girl with glasses who caught his eye many times today was also assigned to the team with Mei Fang.

She stood with Mei Fang and kept her head lowered.

The hearty and strong uncle calls himself Brother Wen and is an avid fitness enthusiast. He was also a very enthusiastic person on the bus before. He greeted his teammates enthusiastically as soon as he got on:
"Okay, before we set off, let's all take turns introducing ourselves!"

So everyone introduced themselves one after another. Some self-introductions were very cute, some were humorous, and of course many were as simple as Mei Fang.

"My name is Mei Fang. I used to work as a system planner in a company in the imperial capital. You can call me A Fang."

"Hahaha, the name Al Fang is interesting, just like that... elementary school student on TV!"

Mei Fang watched everyone join in and laughed a few times, but the girl with glasses beside her remained silent.

When it was the girl's turn to speak, she still lowered her head and said nothing.

Mei Fang was relatively close to the girl. At this time, she could clearly see that under her big square glasses, she had a very delicate and fair face.

Compared with the girls with exquisite makeup who were being watched, she could not hide her dewy look without makeup.

"Ah, what's wrong, girl, you introduced yourself? Are you embarrassed? Or -"

"No... um——"

The girl with glasses was about to raise her head to explain, but now Sister Juan had already started to greet everyone.

"Members of the yellow team come here quickly, everyone is getting ready to go!"

"Hey, after climbing such a long distance up the mountain, what's the point of running away..."

"You can call me Xiaoyun."

Only then did the girl shyly chat up, "I am the original character artist, and this is my first time working on the job."

"Ah, it turns out we are a newcomer! No wonder you are so shy."

"Girls have to be more generous to be cuter! However, if you encounter any difficulties, tell Brother Wen, and Brother Wen will definitely protect you!"

"Um……"

At this moment, the team member Xiuxiu on the side also followed suit and said coquettishly, "Brother Wen, don't be partial, you will also protect us when the time comes."

"Yeah! Cover them all! Cover them all!"

Brother Wen enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by thousands of flowers.

Although it was a crisp autumn day, climbing a mountain was still a very physically demanding activity. Everyone climbed the stairs and walked for a while. They were still chatting and laughing at the beginning, but some girls later could no longer keep up.

Xiuxiu was the first person to say that she didn't want to continue with the team.

"Ah... Brother Wen, Brother Wen, I can't stand it anymore. I really can't walk. Why don't you go up first and don't wait for us."

"How can this work? We are a team, a team, and a whole. We cannot leave anyone behind."

"But wouldn't it be hard to be the last one?"

"Then how about...Brother Wen carries you up on his back?"

"Ah, that's too shameful, I don't want it."

Xiuxiu still maintained a smile and persuaded Brother Wen, "Okay, Brother Wen, you can continue climbing the mountain first. You have to cheer for me as well. I will continue to cheer for you later."

"Ah... okay, okay."

Really, you can’t even tell if a girl is wearing makeup, she’s such a slut…

In this way, the team members dropped out one after another. Halfway through, only half of the boys, including Mei Fang, were left, and only Xiaoyun was left among the girls to persevere.

Brother Wen also pays great attention to Xiaoyun: "Well, Xiaoyun, are you really not hot in your sweatshirt? Why don't you take off your coat, and Brother Wen will carry it for you."

"No, no need...I'm fine."

Xiaoyun is indeed fine.

Although she had been climbing for so long, she only sweated a little and was not out of breath.

Three-quarters of the way up the mountain, even Brother Wen, the team leader, couldn't hold on anymore.

Such a huge physical exertion is a bit too much for a muscular man like him who is covered in tendons, not to mention that he had already consumed a lot of physical energy by moving things and singing songs before climbing the mountain.

The team also slowly dispersed during the climb.

Mei Fang kept crawling forward by himself. Although the exertion was always high-intensity, he had enough energy and didn't waste energy by talking to anyone along the way, so it was still okay.

But no matter what, there will still be some breathlessness.

Mei Fang was tired from climbing the mountain. When she saw a pavilion in front of her, she sat in the pavilion for a while, drinking tons of water.

He finished the mineral water he brought, and when he was looking for the trash can to throw the bottle, he saw Xiaoyun also walked into the pavilion and found a seat to one side to sit down.

Apart from other tourists and passers-by, they are now the only two people in the pavilion who know each other.

"Yo."

Mei Fang thought that this was the third time they had met each other's eyes, and it would be unreasonable not to say hello again, so she answered her.

"Ah."

Mei Fang casually chatted with her and said, "You have great physical strength. You can still persevere now."

"Well... I usually exercise... No, no! It should be said that I have been exercising."

"very impressive."

Xiaoyun paused, then clenched the water glass in her hand. At this time, she looked at the empty bottle in Mei Fang's hand, and suddenly couldn't help but ask Mei Fang:
"Um, are you thirsty? Do you want to drink my water?"

"what?"
