Chapter 429: Chapter 420: The New Game’s Dynamic Difficulty Mechanism_2

What else have you got to say now!

However, after a moment of silence, Qin Fengliang said somewhat aggrievedly, "President Li, never mind the issue of negative emotions for now, just tell me whether the truth of this matter has been verified or not..."

Lilith was stunned for a moment, "Ah?"

Qin Fengliang continued to explain, "President Li, when you came to me before, wasn’t the main purpose to verify whether Gu Fan and Zhou Yang were the traitors?

"You also said that the gain or loss of negative emotions for a while isn’t important, what’s important is catching the traitor and figuring out whether Gu Fan and Zhou Yang have been deceiving you. As long as the company’s internal affairs are in order, we can fully utilize Nitiandang’s accumulated reputation to quickly monetize a large amount of negative emotion.

"So, my method is flawless!"

"You tell me, hasn’t the matter been verified?"

Lilith was at a loss for words for a moment and carefully recalled the situation when she had gone to Qin Fengliang before, finding that it seemed to be exactly as he said.

The suggestion that Qin Fengliang had made to her had one main goal: to freeload off the online tech experts and have them help verify whether the "true ending" of "Heartbeat Dream" was indeed intentionally created by Zhou Yang, and whether Gu Fan was in fact covering for him.

Now, it had indeed been verified!

The online tech experts had already reached a unanimous conclusion, and even the fake-AI team had come forward: There were indeed no such codes in "Heartbeat Dream," it was the work of fake-AI!

Clearly, no matter how powerful Gu Fan was, he couldn’t possibly have bought off the entire internet.

From this perspective, Qin Fengliang’s suggestion was indeed flawless and truly achieved the original objective.

"Wait a minute, but..."

Lilith scratched her twin tails in some agitation, feeling as though something still wasn’t right.

Qin Fengliang hurriedly continued, "Of course, President Li, in order to verify the truth of this matter, it led to your collected negative emotions being severely diminished once again, which was an oversight on my part, and I deeply reflect on this!

"But on the whole, President Li, I think my contribution and my mistake offset each other in this matter. I do not ask for any reward, I only hope that you will continue to give me opportunities to help you plan and strategize.

"Besides, President Li, my continuous failures aren’t entirely my fault.

"You always hand over a mess to me halfway through, and even if I were Wolong himself, it would be hard to turn the tide!

"At least you should let me coordinate and plan from the beginning, so that if there are problems later, I would be truly convinced."

Lilith furrowed her brows, carefully thinking over the words Qin Fengliang had said.

Well... to be honest, there was some truth to it.

Never mind the negative emotions for now, the truth of the matter had indeed been verified. Although Lilith often doubted Gu Fan, she had to admit that she had not caught any decisive evidence against him.

Gu Fan’s current role in Nitiandang was indeed irreplaceable, after all, Lilith could not find any other programmers who were as reliable.

This matter would have to be set aside for now.

Besides, Qin Fengliang made another valid point, until now, Lilith had almost only turned to Qin Fengliang for planning and strategy when things were beyond saving.

For Qin Fengliang, this was indeed somewhat unfair.

It’s like seeing a doctor: not seeing one for a minor illness, but seeking treatment when near death; it’s only natural that it’s hard to achieve a cure.

Between two doctors, one only treats minor illnesses, while the other only treats serious ones, it would not make sense to say the latter is inferior simply because the death rate of their patients is higher.

If she really wanted to test Qin Fengliang’s abilities, it would make more sense to involve her in the decision-making from the start.

Thinking this, Lilith nodded: "Alright, let’s set this matter aside for now, I’ve decided to give you another chance."

Qin Fengliang’s eyes lit up with joy: "Thank you, President Li! Rest assured, as long as you let me get more deeply involved, I’ll definitely be able to achieve the results you want!"

Lilith frowned slightly: "More deeply involved? What do you mean by that?"

Qin Fengliang quickly said, "President Li, isn’t it about collecting negative emotions using the game? Just let me decide on the ideas for new games, and you expand your thinking a bit, and this time it will definitely succeed!"

Lilith deflated a little: "Do you think I haven’t tried that method before? Honestly, up to now Nitiandang has already released many games, and I’ve tried many different approaches, but we’ve almost never achieved that goal!"

Qin Fengliang was unyielding: "President Li, let me try, maybe it will work?"

Lilith considered for a moment and then sighed, "Alright, go ahead!"

Obviously, she too was resorting to desperate measures, running out of better ideas.

Within Nitiandang, Lilith had almost tried every possible permutation and combination, but nothing changed.

At first, it was her own ideas and details, developed by Gu Fan, but that didn’t work.

Later, when her inspiration ran dry, she gradually let go, allowing Gu Fan to design and develop, but that still didn’t work.

Switching to Zhou Yang? Still didn’t work.

Taking back the ideas and design authority herself? That didn’t work either!

In short, Lilith had tried many different approaches, switched up the types of games, and changed the producers, but the results were always largely the same.

Maybe with Qin Fengliang pitching ideas, there could actually be a change?

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Qin Fengliang, seemingly confident, immediately began to outline his plan.

"President Li, my thought is to make a high-difficulty action game!"
