Why the bug I wrote became a core gameplay mechanic?!
Chapter 338 - 347: Completely Unexplainable

Chapter 338: Chapter 347: Completely Unexplainable

Zhou Yang opened the post and continued to read.

At the top of the post was a standard photo of Wei Chengjie.

Back when he was at Shengjing Group, Wei Chengjie had already been a prominently promoted golden producer, so his information was easily searchable online. Previously, there had been photos and resumes on the official website of Shengjing Group.

Although these materials had been removed after he left Shengjing Group, netizens with their extensive reach could easily find them.

What was worse, this seemed to have become the "ironclad proof" of Shengjing Group’s dispossession of Nitiandang.

"Brothers, the A-list criminal has been found!

"This is the person, Wei Chengjie. He was originally a producer at Shengjing Group. Who knows how he got so lucky, but he successfully infiltrated Nitiandang and even became a producer there, a position not too low!

"According to rumors, Wei Chengjie is the producer for this ’Legend of Infinity Fantasy’!

"No wonder when playing this game until mid-game, there was such a strong sense of déjà vu. Isn’t this just Shengjing Group’s usual style?"

"Because they fear that the players are too powerful, they restrict everything under the guise of maintaining game balance, but the actual effects make the game especially frustrating to play, shattering the experience!

"Ah, who would have thought? It appears dispossession is the fate of every big company. Though Nitiandang is not yet considered a particularly big company, they can’t escape it either!

"Brothers, let’s immediately storm Nitiandang’s official platform and get these harmful individuals from Shengjing Group dismissed!"

Zhou Yang finished reading the post and, feeling a wave of sympathy, looked at Wei Chengjie again: "Old Wei, you don’t have Weibo, do you?"

Wei Chengjie shook his head: "No, what respectable person uses Weibo."

"Then I am relieved," Zhou Yang let out a sigh of relief, "it won’t be completely bombarded."

Wei Chengjie was speechless, "Is this really just about whether it gets bombarded or not? I am carrying the pot so unfairly!"

Although Wei Chengjie indeed was the producer for ’Endless Fantasy Legend,’ the problem was that the mid-game annoyances in the game were actually personally instructed by President Li. He had no choice but to follow those orders!

Things clearly brewed by the veteran members of Nitiandang, yet they made him, a demoted officer, take the blame, which was somewhat inappropriate.

The key issue was that no one would listen even if he explained. That was what frustrated him the most.

Zhou Yang remained silently supportive, lightly patting Wei Chengjie on the shoulder: "No worries, Old Wei, take it easy.

"Life is full of disappointments. Why else would President Gu give us such high salaries and bonuses, if not for us to take the fall at critical moments?

"Since explanations are futile, just let it be and ignore the online tone.

"Besides, ’Legend of Infinity Fantasy’ is just one of many games by Nitiandang. Even if it fails, it’s not a big deal. Besides, the game isn’t failing yet, right? It should just manage to break even, and maintaining a rating around 7 isn’t too bad."

Although Nitiandang’s previous games had been big hits, encountering one that incurred minor losses was normal, and both President Gu and President Li seemed completely capable of handling this situation.

But immediately after, Wei Chengjie pulled up another new post.

"But even if I want to ignore it, the netizens won’t let it go!"

"Look at this post, just posted tonight.

"I couldn’t bear it after seeing it, and that’s why I decided to come to the company first thing..."

Zhou Yang was somewhat surprised, "Oh? What post? Let me see."

He reached for the phone and looked at the title and poster of this new post, realizing it seemed to be from the same person as the previous post, but the title had changed.

"Damn it, ’Shadow World’s’ new version has also crashed! It seems the infiltration of Shengjing Group is even more severe than I imagined!

"Originally, I thought Wei Chengjie was only responsible for ’Endless Fantasy Legend,’ which wouldn’t affect ’Shadow World,’ but now I realize I was wrong. The way ’Shadow World’s’ new version cuts the Biased Elementalist is exactly in line with Shengjing Group!

"Everyone thinks President Gu and President Li are knowingly breaking the law and deserve even greater punishment, but I boldly suspect this could also be the lingering influence of Shengjing Group causing trouble!

"Think about it, even if President Gu and President Li were foolish or silly, having already known the correct answers, could they copy them wrong? That makes no sense!

"So, the only explanation is that Nitian Paradise made money, the company expanded, and thus President Gu and President Li, aiming to move up, urgently needed a lot of middle management to handle the workload.

"Consequently, some people from Shengjing Group took the opportunity to switch over, stealing the nests, and took over a lot of the core R&D positions!

"So in this incident, it’s very possible that President Gu and President Li don’t even know what’s happening, they’ve been deceived by their subordinates! These middle managers from Shengjing Group, facing unexpected situations, didn’t think much and just subconsciously handled things based on their previous experiences.

"That’s why such an outrageous scenario occurred, it’s President Gu and President Li who were forced to take the blame!

"So I did a little more investigating, and according to rumors, it’s not just Wei Chengjie who’s a traitor within the Nitian Paradise Company, there are at least a dozen, maybe even dozens of former employees of Shengjing Group!

"Nitian Paradise doesn’t have that many people, having absorbed so many from Shengjing Group, how could there not be problems?

"For the sake of our beloved Nitian Paradise, I hope that you all can join me in expediting the removal of these designers from Shengjing Group and restore clarity and order to Nitian Paradise!"

Reading this, Zhou Yang really couldn’t hold back anymore.

He looked at Wei Chengjie with a complex expression, "I see, Old Wei, you’ve been burdened with a really big pot here..."

Wei Chengjie also felt speechless, "No kidding!

"I can bear the blame for ’Endless Fantasy Legend’ for a while since after all I led the development of that game.

"But the version 7.0 of ’Shadow World’ has nothing to do with me. How could this blame fairly fall on my head? I can’t accept this!!"

Wei Chengjie also felt it was incredibly absurd, how did all the blame end up on him?

The key issue is, if seen from the perspective of an uninformed observer, this post seems highly credible!

Did Wei Chengjie work at Shengjing Group?

Did he switch over to Nitian Paradise?

Did he bring over a lot of former Shengjing Group employees?

Was he also in charge of developing ’Endless Fantasy Legend’?

All of these are indeed true.

Therefore, the failures of these two games really look like mud in one’s pants, no explanation can suffice.

Only a few insiders at Nitian Paradise like Zhou Yang know that the disruption of these two games was entirely due to President Li’s rough intervention, and she had intervened in all of Nitian Paradise’s previous games.

But even if they tell it out loud, no one would believe them, they would just think that the employees of Nitian Paradise are defending their colleague for some unspeakable reason.

Difficult! Clearing their name is extremely difficult!

Wei Chengjie slumped in his chair and whispered, "Do you think President Gu left any backdoors in the game this time?

"Why has ’Endless Fantasy Legend’ been out for nearly two weeks and nobody has discovered any hidden mechanisms..."

Zhou Yang coughed lightly, "How would I know that... You’re the producer of ’Endless Fantasy Legend,’ aren’t you clear on the situation?"

Wei Chengjie helplessly shook his head, "I really don’t know. As far as I know, there truly aren’t any hidden mechanisms, it’s likely doomed."

Zhou Yang fell silent for a moment, "Then we can only wait for a miracle to happen..."
