Chapter 340 - Guardian of Justice: Modest (1/2)
It happened to be an empty workstation which was Lu Mingliang’s place previously.
Pei Qian led Tang Yishu to this workstation. “This will be your workstation from now on. Sit here and do whatever you want when you have nothing to do.”
“Alright, go and settle the Encourager first.”
Tang Yishu nodded and went on to unpack the cat food and litter box in silence.
Li Yada and the other employees were fond of Glabella, but it was in a whole new environment and not used to it yet. It soon settled behind a Fortune Tree and refused to come out. Everyone watched on for some time before heading back to their workstations to continue their work.
Pei Qian paid special attention to Bao Xu’s state and found that he was playing his game seriously. He was rather focused, ignoring Glabella even as it walked past his feet.
That was something Pei Qian was pleased about!
Li Yada exclaimed in surprise upon answering a call just when Pei Qian was preparing to return to his own office. “Huh? You are not selling the copyright anymore?”
Pei Qian stopped in his tracks and pretended to ask with concern. “What’s wrong?”
Li Yada hung up the call and muttered silently. “Uh… it’s nothing.”
“I had a discussion with a copyright owner about a character IP from an old animation. It was all settled previously, but now, the other party suddenly called just not to say… they are not selling it anymore.”
Pei Qian, “Hmm? Why are they not selling it all of a sudden?”
Li Yada was at a loss as well. “I don’t know either. They only said that the author does not want to sell it anymore even if we were to pay more…”
Pei Qian could not help but feel amazed.
Hear, hear! What immediate effect!
This luck turned immediately after bringing Tang Yishu back.
Pei Qian tried very hard to suppress his happiness and said in a soothing voice. “That’s alright. Purchasing IP depends on fate as well. We can make our own original characters if we are unable to purchase enough Character IPs!
“We have so many employees in our company. We can choose a few at random and make original prototypes for the heroes in the game.”
This game was to be cannon fodder for IOI anyway, Pei Qian thought to himself. It was destined to make a loss anyway; why not give his employees the opportunity to entertain themselves and make themselves heroes in the game?
Li Yada thought about it. “Then, Boss Pei, can I put you into the game?”
Pei Qian nodded. “Of course, you can!” Li Yada continued, “We will probably make some artistic modification to the 2D creation of the image, is that alright?”
Pei Qian waved his hand. “No problem, absolutely no problem! Do whatever you like.”
“Alright!” Li Yada returned to her workstation happily. Pei Qian gave Tang Yishu, who was busy feeding Glabella, a sidelong glance and returned to office with satisfaction.
Li Yada opened a new file and decided to design an exclusive hero for Boss Pei on the spot. First of all, the setting for this hero should be a tank.
Boss Pei was just like a huge tree. His stalwart figure sheltered Tengda’s employees from adversities. Therefore, the setting for this hero should be tall, sturdy, and reliable. Boss Pei spared no expenses in striving for excellence in quality, and so his passive skills should be to use extra money to build more powerful equipment.
Boss Pei was an entrepreneur with dreams. He always walked right into areas that were not looked upon favorably by the others. He worked hard in these fields and reaped the rewards with his talents.
Boss Pei achieved greater success as his rivals, and fake reviewers continuously slandered him. Therefore, his first skill included both active and passive skills. His passive skill would be to accumulate rewards through the last hit. That would symbolize his diligence in certain fields.
In the event he received a certain degree of attack and got to kill or assist, the accumulated rewards would be converted to extra money.
There would also be a chance to stimulate fighting spirit, improve defenses, and sprinkle a lot of golden attack special effects around. It would cause damage to the enemy and slow them down a little.
Active release of skills could also cause the same effect.
Boss Pei controlled their time strictly and never allowed his employees to work overtime. He would force those who secretly worked overtime out of the office. That’s why Boss Pei’s second skill should cause a knockback effect on his enemies in a fan-shaped range. It would also prevent anyone from entering the range for some time.
Boss Pei was passionate about exploring new fields. Outstanding employees were deployed to be in charge of new business areas and achieved spectacular results. For that, Boss Pei’s third skill should be to throw a friendly unit across a certain range, causing a small amount of damage and slowing down the enemy unit within range after landing.
Finally, Boss Pei could continuously grow stronger and improve because he spurred himself on tirelessly.
Boss Pei’s ultimate move would be to spur himself on. His speed would be boosted greatly, and his health and resistance would be increased. At the same time, he would cause a small amount of damage back to himself which could frequently trigger one passive skill.
Li Yada then decided to design a unique image for Boss Pei.
He must be tall and stalwart as a tank hero. He should be a giant with broad shoulders and powerful arms. At the same time, he should have all types of weapons such as knives, swords, daggers, and spears-on his back since he frequently suffered sneaky attacks from his enemies.
It should be like the Goddess of Mercy, giving off divine Buddha light, and like Mahamayuri, the Great Peacock, who had a body made of both divine and demon at the same time.
This hero should continuously release attacks with golden special effects if he were to come under sneaky attack.
Finally, the name of this hero…
Guardian of Justice: Modest!
Li Yada believed that ‘Modest’, meaning humble, was the best word to describe Boss Pei’s noble character.
Li Yada was very satisfied with the completed design manuscript. “Hm, let’s make the concept art as soon as possible. I believe that Boss Pei will be very happy to see his personal hero appearing in GOG, right?”
