The director of marketing said, “Their advertisements are also very good. The advertisements on the day of the open beta were overwhelming. Even I received a few of them. It looks like they put in a lot of effort. However, if they can do advertisements, so can we.”
The director of research and development said, “Since they can do it, we can do it too. I’ve experienced the game. It’s not that difficult to develop. It’s just that many of the things need to be polished, and it might take some time. When it’s done, we’ll invest more advertising money than them. I think it’ll definitely work.”
“Hey, I know someone from Dream Game Company. Should we poach him?” The head of personnel, Wang Fan, interrupted.
“Who? We have enough technicians on our side.”
“It’s the head of R&D on their side. He’s the one who oversaw the development of Jumping the Line of Fire. I know him from before. I heard that he had a fight with his boss recently and is resting at home. If we poach him over, I think the success rate will be higher.”
“Sure! Try your best to poach him. We can offer him a better salary. We can make him the vice head of R&D and even let him be in charge of the R&D for our new game. We have to be willing to invest in talents,” the boss of Four-nine Gaming Company said.
He had always been a person who valued talents. To be able to serve as the R&D director of Dream Game Company and even develop Jumping the Line of Fire, he thought that this person must be something special.
…
Wang Kewen had not gone to the company since he said he was going home on leave that day.
He had heard about the explosion of Jumping the Line of Fire in the past few days at home. However, Wang Kewen still did not care about it. In fact, he even felt resentful.
Closing the curtains, Wang Kewen did not go anywhere. In the past few days, he had been playing Real Battlefield 1 that he had developed previously.
Every time he won in Real Battlefield 1, Wang Kewen would think about Real Battlefield 2. It was as if he had been possessed.
Wang Kewen could not understand. In his eyes, Real Battlefield 1 was so realistic, so fun, and had such high-definition graphics. There were no unbalanced weapons at all. Why could there not be a second one, why did they have to develop some Jumping the Line of Fire? Was Real Battlefield 2 that bad?
In Wang Kewen’s heart, as long as Real Battlefield 2 came out, they would definitely be able to step on Jumping the Line of Fire. However, were the people in the company bewitched by Xu Zhi? Why did they not mention Real Battlefield 2?
Bang!
In Real Battlefield 1, after killing a person using the M4 loaded with six accessories, Wang Kewen’s TT suddenly lit up.
When he switched out, it was a message from his old classmate, Wang Fan. He and Wang Fan had both worked in the gaming industry after graduating from university. However, Wang Fan was in Four-nine Gaming Company while he was in Dream Game Company.
The company was different, so the relationship between the two gradually faded after graduation. They had not contacted each other for a long time.
At this moment, Wang Fan was looking for him. Could it be that there was something going on? When Wang Kewen thought about how the other gaming companies had recently started developing new games to imitate Jumping the Line of Fire, his heart suddenly jumped.
“Kewen, are you there?” Wang Fan’s message did not reveal anything.
“Yes!”
Wang Kewen replied with a simple word, but Wang Fan’s message soon came again.
“After graduating from university, it’s been a long time. Why don’t you come out for a meal? What do you think?”
Sure enough, Wang Fan was looking for him for something. Wang Kewen’s eyes narrowed. He was almost certain that Wang Fan was looking for him for a specific purpose. He was the director of the R&D department of Dream Game Company, while Wang Fan was the HR director of Four-nine Gaming Company. What else could he have to talk to him about?
