Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Yu Fei returned to his desk and sat down, sighing silently.

Sigh!

How terrible.

Even though Boss Pei kept asking him to stay and his colleagues and readers were very supportive, he did not want to be the chief designer anymore. The poor sales of Ghost General 2 had strengthened his emotions.

However, Boss Pei was still unwilling!

What should he do then?

He could not possibly continue like this, right?

Yu Fei highly suspected that Boss Pei was delaying it. However, why did Boss Pei want to delay it? Why did he think so highly of himself? Yu Fei could not figure it out.

If he could not figure it out, he could forget about it.

Yu Fei sat at his desk and thought for a long time. Finally, he made up his mind.

He could not let this continue. He had to leave!

However, it was probably impossible to go through the normal process. Boss Pei's attitude was very clear. He wanted to retain him.

Under such circumstances, the entire Tengda, including the games department and the HR department, belonged to Boss Pei. If Boss Pei did not want to let them go, would he be able to leave smoothly?

It was obviously impossible.

What should he do?

Yu Fei had actually thought of a good idea.

He was prepared to write a resignation letter, but it was not for Boss Pei but for the netizens!

If he were to show it to Boss Pei, Boss Pei might just throw it into the trash can. It would be meaningless. However, if he were to show the netizens that he wanted to blow this matter up and publicly express his intentions of not wanting to do it, Boss Pei would definitely not be able to force it under the netizens' attention.

He had no choice. Sometimes, he could not go through the proper process. He could only go through the less formal process.

Yu Fei felt that this path seemed to be feasible and immediately decided to write!

As a web novelist, the most important thing was his ability to execute his words.

Of course, that was excluding no-show like Cui Geng.

"Dear readers and gamers:"

"Hello, everyone. I'm Yu Fei, the author of the novel Eternal Reincarnation. At the same time, I'm the designer of the second half of the downloadable content of Eternal Reincarnation and the designer of Ghost General 2."

"Of course, even though I'm a designer, I'm actually just a half-baked designer. Most of the credit for this game should be attributed to my colleagues in Tengda Games. I did not play a decisive role in it."

"I think I'm to blame for the poor sales volume of Ghost General 2. I also deeply feel that my ability is not enough to take on the role as the chief designer of Tengda Games, nor is it enough to complete the important task of Tengda Games' subsequent development."

"I am also an experienced gamer of Tengda Games. Repent and be Saved is my favorite game. However, it is precisely because of this that I think I cannot drag the entire Tengda Games department down because of my personal desires."

"Tengda Games has a huge mission to revive the domestic games industry. It wants to develop more high-quality games for domestic players. To me, I have this vision but I don't have the ability to match it. My first goal is to be an ordinary web novelist and write my own book. However, now, there is a serious conflict between the two jobs. It has also caused me some trouble."

"Therefore, I have already submitted my resignation to Boss Pei many times to express my desire to leave. Boss Pei might have tried to retain me for various reasons but I have made up my mind."

"I hope that everyone can support Tengda Games and my new book as usual. Thank you everyone!"

After writing it, Yu Fei read it from beginning to end. He edited a few words and finally nodded, satisfied.

It might not be so formal but the meaning of the expression had been expressed clearly.

If he posted this on Weibo and asked his readers to share it, it should cause some waves, right?

Once everyone knew about this, Boss Pei would definitely be too embarrassed to force him to stay.

At that thought, Yu Fei immediately released it.

He had thought about waiting until after the new year. However, on further thought, it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble.

What if it was released after the Chinese New Year? What if there was not enough time and could not generate enough attention? What if Boss Pei had a new development task on the first day of the work day after the Chinese New Year?

That would be very troublesome.

Thus, there was no time to lose!

After publishing this news, Yu Fei waited patiently for a while before reading the netizens' comments.

The first few messages were quite normal.

"I support your decision!"

"A web novel author has really become the chief designer and created the game. That's worth bragging about for the rest of his life! It's also your personal choice to go back and continue writing web novels. We all support you."

"I also think that the chief designer is a very professional position. It's a little forced for a half-baked author to be the chief designer. I hope that the next chief designer can continue to bring outstanding works to all of us!"

"Eh, does that mean that the new book can be uploaded? 20,000 words a day is not too much, right?"

However, after a few minutes, Yu Fei refreshed again and suddenly realized that the style of the comments seemed to have changed.

"Huh? Don't go!"

"That's not right. Weren't you contradicting yourself when you said that 'most of the credit goes to your colleagues in Tengda Games' and then said that 'Ghost General 2's failure can't be blamed'? If you feel that you don't have any credit, you don't have to take the blame. If you want to take the blame, it's equivalent to admitting that you played an important role."

"What do you mean by the failure of Ghost General 2? How did this game fail? Is there any combat game that can be compared to it at the moment? In any case, as a combat game player, I like this game very much!"

"How is there a serious conflict? Don't you have time to write novels during the development of the game? That's slower, but it's alright. Everyone can wait."

"That's right. Don't think too much about it. Since Boss Pei wants to retain you, it means that you're up to the task. You can even be said to be the best candidate now. If you insist on leaving, what if the chief designer is not as good as you?"

"I think you're too humble and lacking in confidence. Even Teacher Qiao has praised you. Is there a need for you to belittle yourself?"

"Yes, sometimes excessive humility equals pride. If you're too arrogant, everyone will think that you're in Versailles!"

Yu Fei was a little confused when he saw the new hot comments.

What was going on?

These people were actually asking him to stay? And they were even more passionate than Boss Pei?

Especially the last line, 'Teacher Qiao specifically praised'??

What the hell was this?

Yu Fei felt that something was amiss and quickly went to his fan group to ask.

Someone quickly sent him a link to Teacher Qiao's video.

Yu Fei clicked on it and realized that it was a video that had just been released this morning. However, it was becoming popular very quickly!

It wouldn't be long before he could reach the homepage!

Of course, given Teacher Qiao's status in the gaming area and the quality of his videos, this result was not surprising.

However, the key was the title of this video: Look at the great structure of Boss Pei's games empire from Ghost General 2!

Good lord, Yu Fei exclaimed.

Even the structure was out?

As for Ghost General 2? As a combat game, wasn't it just a drop of tears that could only satisfy the generation of small groups of players even though it was of good quality?

Now that the plot was out, it was ridiculous!

What was the point of talking about a structure for a soon-to-be outdated combat game?

The act of 'spending a huge sum of money to develop a combat game' could be described in two words: The structure was small!

It was no wonder that some people went to Yu Fei's Weibo post to persuade him to stay.

Obviously, Teacher Qiao's bragging about Ghost General 2 made many people mistakenly think that Yu Fei was a truly capable chief designer. That was why they went to persuade him to stay.

Yu Fei could not accept this.

Not only was it difficult to accept rationally, but it was even more difficult to accept emotionally.

"No, I want to see how this is related to the structure."

Yu Fei clicked on the video indignantly.

…

"My dear daddies, greetings! I, Teacher Qiao, am finally back!"

"Two months of torturous travel has benefited me a lot…"

In the first paragraph, Qiao Liang briefly shared his experience of Suffering Travels with the audience. In particular, he emphasized his body that had changed drastically, as well as his abdominal muscles that were forced to be tense and could only be vaguely seen in the shadows of the light.

Qiao Liang also boasted about the Suffering Travels. At the same time, he showed his medal.

Obviously, this was within the scope of the 'Suffering Travels Syndrome': When infected people participated in Suffering Travels, they would cry as if their lives were in danger. However, after leaving Suffering Travels, they would become alive and kicking. They would even praise Suffering Travels.

Such 'Suffering Travels' Syndrome had frequently appeared in the members of the first and second episodes. Teacher Qiao could not escape it.

However, there was still no scientific explanation for the cause and theory of this disease.

After five minutes of 'showing his condition', Qiao Liang entered the main topic of the video. In other words, he began to officially review Ghost General 2.

"Alright, let's return to the main body and talk about Tengda's new game, Ghost General 2."

"While I was suffering, many fans expressed regret and even gloated. That was because I did not make it in time for the two explosive games' Real Estate Agent Simulator 'and' Safe and Civilized Driving '. What's more, I did not even make it in the popularity of' Successor '!"

"Everyone thinks that this is a huge loss to me."

"To this, I want to say that the scale is too small! Why would a mature UP Master have such sectarian views? Why would he have such narrow ideas?"

"As a content creator, you cannot be jealous. I think it would be a good thing if others could better answer Tengda Games and provide the audience with another perspective! I have never thought of monopolizing Tengda Games' explanation rights!"

"The real estate agent simulator and Safe and Civilized Driving are highly connected to reality. It's not difficult to interpret them. There's no need for a top student like me to not do such simple family homework."

"However, Ghost General 2 is different. I realized that many people have not realized the importance of this game and the grand structure behind it!"

"I can only do it myself since no one else has solved this question!"
