After returning to the villa and taking a simple shower, Xu Zhi threw his soaked clothes into the washing machine and picked up his laptop to start working again.

The progress of Jumping the Line of Fire was very gratifying, but Xu Zhi could not relax. Recalling the memories of his previous life, there were still many things that he needed to do.

Especially the Biochemical game mode. To Xu Zhi, this was an essential game mode. It was the best way to play, and it had to be added to Jumping the Line of Fire.

In his previous life, the Biochemical mode was already a common mode in all the major shooting games. However, in Bluestar, this was a playstyle that no one had ever thought of before.

This was not something that Xu Zhi could explain in just a few words. He needed to elaborate the ideas in detail, and he just happened to have the time today.

His fingers danced in front of the keyboard. Xu Zhi was fully focused and quickly wrote down a concrete and feasible plan. After reading it over once, he nodded to himself.

Xu Zhi glanced at the time and saw that it was already 11 o’clock. With his back leaning against the office chair, he looked through the glass window. A sky full of stars could clearly be seen from the second floor of the villa. He could also hear the intermittent chirping of cicadas in his ears.

Xu Zhi enjoyed the romantic atmosphere of a summer night very much.

In the past few days, after Qin Zishu returned to her old home. She would occasionally send Xu Zhi some selfies via a popular communication app on Bluestar called ‘TT’.

After leaving her identity as the president of the company, Qin Zishu seemed to have transformed from a warrior covered in armor to a cute little rabbit. Her selfies were all cute.

In fact, Xu Zhi had already realized this long ago after they got married. To outsiders, Qin Zishu was highly educated and beautiful. She was usually cold and aloof, but as soon as she returned home, she became extremely clingy.

Especially in the past six months, when Qin Zishu returned home, she was almost like a koala, hanging on to Xu Zhi.

Sitting in front of the computer, Xu Zhi’s face revealed a gentle smile as he looked at the selfie Qin Zishu had sent him through TT an hour ago.

…

Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed. The research and development project for Jumping the Line of Fire was officially announced as a success.

The game version, the server, and all other preparations were already in place. By the next day, the closed beta would begin.

As for the participants for the closed beta, there were tentatively 10,000 people. Most of them were players from Real Battlefield 1, and there was also a small number of players who had made appointments through the official website.

Xu Zhi did not plan to hold the beta test for too long. As long as there were no major bugs, the beta test would be officially released three days later.

The promotional team had already finished negotiating with all the major websites and advertisers. As soon as the beta test was released, all the promotions and advertisements would be launched.

For advertisements and promotions, Xu Zhi spent a total of 30 million yuan, which was three times the cost of researching and developing the game.

The company’s director of finance, Huang Meng, approached Xu Zhi personally for this. However, after hearing Xu Zhi’s explanation, she nodded in agreement.

Xu Zhi liked a quote he heard from long ago: ‘if one could not bear to part with his child, one will not be able to catch a wolf’.

If one wanted to make a high profit, one naturally had to invest a lot.

This month, Xu Zhi was like a dragon crawling out of its lair, merging into the company.

He personally attended to many things in the company. Not only did he increase the revenue of the three original games, but he was also closely involved with the development of Jumping the Line of Fire.

Even Qin Zishu probably would not be able to pull this off if she was here.

He Wei, the director of the company’s planning department, had actually become Xu Zhi’s little fan.

After he finished writing the proposal for the Biochemical game mode that day, he handed it over to He Wei the next day.

He Wei read it for a while before he became excited. He looked at Xu Zhi as if he was looking at a god.
