Tokyo: Being coveted by my wife, I just want to play games

Chapter 318 Always walk by the river

As time entered the end of February, the popularity of "Elden Ring" also came to an end.

This is also normal.

Even for the top 3A stand-alone games, the popularity usually lasts less than two months. After all, stand-alone games sell content, and once the content is played by players, the popularity will naturally fade. However, under the dull eyes of global peers, the sales of this game still broke through million copies!

In just two months, sales exceeded 32 million. After a few more years of promotional activities, this sales volume will definitely have a chance to hit 40 million!
milestone.

There is no doubt that the enhanced and improved "Elden Ring" by Fuyukawa Che has become a milestone in the gaming industry, and is the absolute king in the field of dark fantasy RPG.

The outside world was in an uproar, and the employees of the Holy Light Society who received the dividends were also very excited. But there was one exception.

"Jie, hahahaha, what Valkyrie? She's nothing compared to my little Futaba's skills! How about it? I rolled over the Valkyrie without any damage at level 1. Isn't that amazing!"

"Okay, okay, thank you all for watching. Today's live broadcast ends here. Xiao Shuangye is going to sleep. Kiss~"

Koyama Futaba had a sweet smile on her face, and the two-dimensional suit character on the screen also showed the same smile. But when the live broadcast was turned off, the sweet smile on her face instantly turned into madness.

"Ah!!! The game is going to lose its popularity!"

Pulling her ponytails with both hands, sitting cross-legged on the sofa with no image, Koyama Futaba looked very upset. During this period, "Elden Ring" was very popular, and Fuyukawa Tetsu made a lot of money, and so did Koyama Futaba.

Not only did she receive a large amount of dividends, but she also started a live broadcast at the suggestion of Yuezhu Feiniao. It was impossible for her, a lolita who was afraid of socializing with others, to do a live broadcast, but she had no choice. On the one hand, she had to pay off her credit card, and on the other hand, there were many two-dimensional skin suits doing live broadcasts, and they didn't need to show their faces.

Futaba Koyama, who was originally very timid in front of strangers, immediately revealed her true nature after she put on a pretentious image.

Plus, she is very talented in the field of gaming. She is a core member of the "Elden Ring" development team. Not only does she develop games, she is also very talented in playing games. Many new weapons and new combat modules in the game, such as [Meteor Hammer] and [Naginata], were developed by her. Naturally, she knows all aspects of the game well.

Needless to say, strong female anchors are very popular in the single-player game market. She has a sweet voice and often gives some insights into the plot and gameplay that the outside world doesn't even know about. Therefore, with the popularity of "Elden Ring", she, Futaba Koyama, has become one of the most popular anchors in the live broadcast area of ​​the GOGO platform and has made a lot of money.

Just when life seemed to be getting better, the popularity of "Elden Ring" began to decline.

"What to do? What to do? What to do!"

"I want to buy a few more orders!"

Feeling a little crazy, Futaba Koyama was pounding the table like a cartoon character, and at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Hey, what are you doing in there? It's so noisy. Go brush your teeth. It's time to eat."

Dongchuan Che's dazed voice came from outside the door. Xiaoshan Futaba slumped in the chair, said "Oh", and then continued to look at the ceiling, thinking about how to make money. At this moment, a small window popped up in the lower right corner of the computer screen.

[Business Order Group No. 1: @Everyone, if you are a brother, come and attack me! "The Circle and the Paladin" will be launched in a week, and we sincerely invite all anchors to try it out and promote it. Talk to me privately about the price! ]

"What the hell is "The Circle and Paladins"? This name sounds like a game made by a small workshop to attract attention."

After glancing at the computer screen, Xiaoshan Futaba complained weakly for a few words, then slumped back in his chair.

It is normal for anchors to accept business orders, but for her, she cannot make much money from business orders in other fields, such as bringing goods, because her influence is not enough. She mainly relies on business orders for game promotion, but the momentum of "Elden Ring" has been too strong in the past two months.

Last year, NICO, SATE and Juyin competed with each other, and those top masterpieces that had accumulated praise for several years were almost all released, so this year was originally a weak year for games, with no big blockbusters. But for some ambitious mid-sized manufacturers, a weak year for games is also an opportunity.

Many medium-sized manufacturers are trying to make ambitious works that transcend classes, and they were originally scheduled to be released in February or March this year, intending to take advantage of the market attention brought by "Elden Ring", but "Elden Ring" is too powerful and has too much content!

Three days after the release of "Elden Ring", everyone delayed the release.

At least before the end of March, there will be no decent work on the market, because there is a fear that it will be crushed by the aftermath of "Elden Ring".

Big manufacturers refused to produce, medium-sized manufacturers defaulted on their payments, small manufacturers could not afford to pay, and with the decline in popularity of "Elden Ring", Futaba Koyama's [live broadcast career] also suffered a Waterloo.

"Really? Can't those game manufacturers make more fun and popular games? They are such a useless bunch! Oh, come to think of it."

As if she suddenly thought of something, Xiaoshan Futaba's eyes suddenly widened.

She walked out the door without even putting on slippers, and just as she rushed out of the door in a hurry - "Bang -"

Water splashes.

"What the hell are you doing so mad so early in the morning?"

The water cup fell to the ground, and Dong Chuan Che, who was lying on the ground, rubbed his chest and looked silently at the sweet little loli of size F+ who was riding on his waist.

The floor heating was turned on at home, so Dongchuan Che was wearing a pair of thin home pajamas, while Xiaoshan Futaba was wearing an equally thin cute long skirt.

Xiao Dongchuan talked back.

Although the reaction was not that fast, Dongchuan Che still felt a heat different from the rest of his skin. But it was obvious that Xiaoshan Futaba, who felt that she had found a way to make money, did not notice this. She looked at Dongchuan Che excitedly: "Hey, last time you said that you were going to outsource the Pandaria map of World of Warcraft to that Chinese team, and they were short of a team leader?!"

"kindness?"

Dongchuan Che enjoyed the position of the two at this time, but he was not willing to take advantage of others in this situation. He held up the fair-skinned cute little girl, Futaba Koyama, who was just over 1.5 meters tall but had a F+ snow-white figure, like a child, with both hands, and then moved her away from him.

Bending down to pick up the water cup, he took out a mop from the bathroom next to him. While mopping the floor, Dong Chuan Che raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you asking about this topic all of a sudden?"

As the profits from "Elden Ring" come back, the "World of Warcraft" project is also about to be launched.

The first expansion pack of the original game, the so-called "Earth Age", only has the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor, and the main content is the confrontation between the Alliance and the Horde. Dongchuan Che does not plan to make changes to this initial direction, but he plans to add more Asian elements to "World of Warcraft".

In the previous life of "World of Warcraft", a Pandaria map was forced in, and the introduction used was the Panda Brewmaster [Chen Stormstout].

There is no big problem with this approach, but on the one hand, the Pandaren race is not very successful, and the number of players who choose the Pandaren race as a character is only slightly higher than that of goblins, gnomes, and dwarves. On the other hand, the participation of Asian elements is too low.

Before Mists of Pandaria, there were almost no Asian elements; after Mists of Pandaria, Pandaria and the Pandaren almost completely lost their presence.

He, Dongchuan Che, not only wants to change the Pandaren into a more handsome race, such as a human appearance that is more in line with Asian aesthetics, but also a dragon-man race that can choose to transform into a half-dragon or a full dragon after battle.

The race has been greatly changed, and one to three professions need to be created, such as swordsman, healer, and formation master.

Race, profession, in addition to that he also wants to change the plot and the map.

The map of Pandaria is actually pretty good, but that map is really stereotypical. When he first played it, he thought it was the art direction done by the production team of Kung Fu Panda.

Apart from Mantis and Sha, other maps are almost all warm pastoral scenery. Although pastoral scenery is also very good, Eastern culture is not only about pastoral scenery.

The original work did not express the most essential grand and ancient charm, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the great rivers and mountains, etc.

He, Dongchuan Che, not only wants to reset "World of Warcraft" according to the standards of a quasi-3A game, but also wants to make major changes to the map of Pandaria and the plot.

The dragon people will become a selectable race for players from the beginning. However, due to the impact of the explosion of the Well of Eternity many years ago, Pandaria was sealed by fog, and a part of the dragon people drifted to the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor, and finally joined the Alliance and the Horde respectively.

In the future, whether it is Stormwind or Orgrimmar, there will be a huge area to showcase Asian culture, and there will be traces of Asian architecture everywhere in the game map. And the search for homeland by this race will also become one of the main plots, and finally lead to the subsequent Pandaria expansion.

To do all of this well would be a huge workload and would also be a great test of one's abilities. After all, there are still huge differences between Asian culture and European culture. If one fails to integrate them well, it would make players feel torn.

Dong Chuan Che planned to bring in the people from the Shanhe Group and combine them with some elites within the Holy Light Society to form a special team, but the leader of this team has not yet been decided.

To be honest, he had planned to let Koyama Futaba be the team leader. After all, although she was not good at dealing with strangers, her abilities were indeed very strong. Before joining the Holy Light Society, she was already the boss of a world-renowned top outsourcing team.

only.
Some time ago, this guy, Futaba Koyama, was addicted to live streaming to make money, and he claimed, "I work to make money playing games, and now I can make money while playing games, so why do I still need to work?"
Thinking of this, and remembering that the girl had obviously ordered less takeout recently, Dong Chuan Che's eyes also showed some teasing, "So, you are short of money again?"

Embarrassed, Koyama Futaba's face turned red, and she clenched her fists at her waist, "What's wrong with not having money? You've never been short of money!"

"Oh? This doesn't seem like the right attitude to have when asking for help."

".Okay! I apologize!"

"Stand and apologize?"

Dongchuan Che raised his eyebrows.

Feeling his playful gaze like a cat catching a mouse, Xiaoshan Futaba shivered with anger and her face became even redder, but this time it was not because of embarrassment, but because of anger.

Her little fists were clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound. She glared at Dong Chuan Che fiercely, gritting her teeth!

Super fierce!

But it is obvious that she is a sweet little girl who can be held in the arms and rubbed at will. She is only 1.5 meters tall, and she is wearing a cute bunny nightgown.
She looked even cuter when she put on this fierce look.

Somewhat cute.

Dongchuan Che even wanted to reach out and poke her puffy little cheeks, but seeing her aggrieved expression as if she was getting more and more angry like a puffer fish, and yet she was hesitating whether to get down from her seat and beg him, Dongchuan Che couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Dongchuan Che waved his hand, his eyes smiling as he scanned from Koyama Futaba's strong chest to her fair feet, then he said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'll leave this task to you. I can also advance some of your salary in advance, but in exchange..."

Gudu
Feeling Toru Fuyukawa's eyes wandering over her body, Futaba Koyama swallowed.

Could it be that this big pervert is interested in me?

If he dares to make excessive demands, I will not report it. I will go down and complain to Mei Ting!
I, Futaba Koyama, am not the kind of woman who would sell her body for money!
She was thinking so fiercely in her heart, but for some reason, her little head was filled with the "happy scenes" that she had seen occasionally in the middle of the night, early in the morning, in the bathroom, and in the living room in the past few days.

Thinking of this, she unconsciously glanced at Dongchuan Che's lower abdomen again.

This guy's body is really strong like a bull, and Meiting looked like he was going to heaven after being hit a few times.
Ah!
Futaba, what are you thinking about?

With all sorts of thoughts in her mind, Xiaoshan Futaba was screaming in her heart, but her face was inexplicably red. But at this moment, Dongchuan Che just smiled and said, "In exchange, you are not allowed to play games during the development of World of Warcraft."

"Ah, what? No playing games?!" Xiaoshan Shuangye was stunned. She never expected that Dongchuan Che, a pervert, would make such a request. But in a flash, under Dongchuan Che's stern eyes, Xiaoshan Shuangye knelt down with a plop, and then grabbed his trouser legs with tears and snot.

"Team leader! Boss! Dad! Please change the conditions! Futaba is really living a life worse than death without games to play!"

"."

She was in tears. She was a sweet and cute loli, but when she saw Futaba Koyama, she burst into tears.

Dongchuan Che lived in Bengbu for a while and did not allow Xiaoshan Shuangye to play games, mainly because this girl was too addicted to games. He did not mind people playing games, but he gave Xiaoshan Shuangye a lot of dividends in the past two years, but she spent whatever she earned and even overdrew her credit card to play.

Although it is true that Futaba Koyama is very capable of making money and can eventually make back any money she owes, Dongchuan Che still wants to help this old subordinate, who is also a good friend living with him, change her bad habits. In addition, if Futaba Koyama stops playing games, the development of World of Warcraft will be faster.

but
Looking at the pitiful Futaba Koyama hugging his left leg, feeling the huge softness, Dongchuan Che sighed speechlessly and amusedly, "Alright, alright. I'll let you play the game, but you have to give the bank card for your advance pay to Meiting. She'll pay your credit card every week, and let Meiting order takeout for you, so don't spend money recklessly anymore."

"Really?"

"Nonsense, when have I ever broken my promise?"

"Ha~ Then I feel relieved!"

Dongchuan Che rolled his eyes, but the next moment, Xiaoshan Futaba, who had just been crying, jumped up with a "whoosh", gave him a smug look as if she had "successfully grasped" the situation, then ran back to the room happily and slammed the door shut.

"."
.
The development difficulty of "World of Warcraft" is actually not that great.

One of the biggest reasons why this game can stand out from other MMO online games is that its game mechanics are indeed excellent.

The boss battles in World of Warcraft are actually somewhat similar to those in the Souls-series games. Both are the type that require both thinking and operation.

The advantage of this mechanism is that players will not only get positive feedback from [gaining equipment], but also get a sense of satisfaction that [under the same conditions (equipment), or even when my conditions are not as good as others, I can still deal higher damage and provide more healing than others].

This kind of satisfaction is more common in fighting games, competitive games like League of Legends and Dota, and soul games. The only online game that can provide this kind of feedback, and to the extent that players can play for five or six hours every night, is World of Warcraft. Other online games cannot give it.

Let's just talk about the boss battles, not the others. Whether it's Sword III, FF14, or Guild Wars, as long as you've experienced their boss battles, you can clearly feel the difference from the boss battles in World of Warcraft.

This is the foundation of World of Warcraft, and in this regard, Dongchuan Che can directly copy the original work and make some minor adjustments at most.

Another difficulty is the picture.

It is not difficult for Dongchuan Che to make World of Warcraft into a 3A game with high graphics quality and add more Asian elements. However, the graphics quality of 3A-level works is very demanding on computer configuration, and the boss battles of 40-player, 25-player, and 20-player group battles, or even battlefields with hundreds of players or city massacres with hundreds of players, put more pressure on computer configuration than stand-alone games.

How to choose between image quality and smoothness, how to balance the values ​​of new professions, all these require constant exploration. Fortunately, Futaba Koyama is one of the most capable game developers among the senior management of the Holy Light Society, and also the one who loves playing games the most, no one else.

It's perfect for her to make trade-offs in image quality and balance various numerical values.

Part of the problems with the key project "World of Warcraft" have been solved. Although he was teased by Koyama Futaba, Fuyukawa Che was still in a good mood. He sat down at the breakfast table and chatted with Izumi Himawari.

"Why are you in such a good mood today?"

Sayoko placed a bowl of hand-rolled noodles with fragrant beef sauce in front of Dongchuan Che, then tied her long black hair behind her ears and sat down.

Sayoko's cooking skills are getting better and better, and the taste of this beef sauerkraut noodles is also great.

Dongchuan Che smelled the spicy aroma and his appetite was whetted, so he quickly took two bites. However, when Ohara Chika, Miyano Mitsuha, and Koyama Futaba were all seated, he chewed his noodles while looking around curiously and asked, "Where's Yuezhu? I see no one is in her room?"

Ohara Chika blew a mouthful of the hot beef noodles and said, "She seems to be under a lot of pressure from the variety show recently. After she finished eating, she said she wanted to go out for a motorcycle ride to relax."

"That's it."

Dongchuan Che nodded thoughtfully.

Yuezhu Feiniao is indeed a great talent, but on the one hand, she has a short learning period. She only decided to become a director at the end of December last year, and now she has to personally take charge of the project in less than March. In addition, she has always been erratic and has no goals in doing things. She does things when she wants to and stops when she wants to. Now she suddenly has to study seriously.
Although she calmly reads various directing-related learning books every day, as if nothing is different from usual, in fact, people's emotional stress accumulates slowly.

Talk to her later.

Thinking of this, Dongchuan Che took two more bites of rice. He really takes the variety show "Singer" very seriously. After all, it is not only a big investment, but also a big network investment. If it fails, he may have to remain silent for a long time in the music sector. However, what he is doing now is "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves". He mainly wants Yuezhu Feiniao to practice with this variety show. In this case, Dongchuan Che naturally doesn't want Yuezhu Feiniao to be too tense.

Just as I was thinking this in my mind, suddenly, the little white boy who was lying at my feet and staring at the TV program suddenly perked up his ears!

"Wang Wang-"

After growling twice, in the surprised gaze of Dongchuan Che and others, Xiaobai rushed out of the house like a sharp sword, but it did not run far. Instead, it stood at the door and looked at Dongchuan Che with its one eye, then shook its head.

"what's the situation?"

Xiaobai is a Great Pyrenees, a super large dog. This kind of dog is generally energetic, but Xiaobai is relatively calm and rarely jumps around at home, let alone suddenly running to the door when the family is having dinner.

"I gonna go see."

Dongchuan Che frowned slightly, then put down the bowl and casually put on a pair of sweatpants, but before he put on his shoes, Xiaobai bit his trouser leg and dragged him out of the house.

The temperature at the end of February was still very cool. As soon as Dong Chuan Che walked out of his home with floor heating, he felt the cool breeze on his face.

The sunlight was a bit dazzling. Following the somewhat flustered Xiaobai to the entrance of the yard, Dong Chuanche looked in the direction where Xiaobai ran. The next moment, his eyes suddenly widened. He saw a damaged black motorcycle lying crookedly at the corner of the sea in the distance, and under the electric pole, a sexy woman in a rubber jacket was wading at the fence on the seaside.

"My grass!"

The scene in front of him startled Dongchuan Che.

Without any hesitation or even changing his slippers, Dongchuan Che ran over on tiptoe.
.
After a long time.

Bunkyo-ku, Nippon Medical University Hospital.

"Doctor, is she okay?"

The female doctor in a white coat had just walked out of the ward, and Miyano Mite, Sayoko and other women had just stood up when Toru Fuyukawa hurried over.

Seeing his anxious eyes and feeling her arms being squeezed hard, the female doctor frowned slightly, but still said, "Fortunately, she was wearing a helmet. There is no serious problem. She just fainted. But she has a deep wound on her right chest, and her right ankle is fractured. She needs to be in a plaster cast and rest for a while."

"Phew—that's good, that's good."

Hearing the doctor's answer, Dongchuan Che breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense muscles relaxed. When he saw Yuezhu Feiniao lying unconscious on the ground, he was almost scared to death. But fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

"Sorry, I was just nervous."

Dongchuan Che relaxed a little, and when he noticed that the female doctor raised her eyebrows and looked at his big hands that were holding her arms, he naturally loosened his grip.

"It's okay. We understand the feelings of the patient's family. Also, here is the medical bill. Go and pay the fee."

"Let me do it. Ah Che, you stay here with Yue Zhu."

The female doctor handed a bill to Toru Fuyukawa, but soon the bill was taken by Sato Fujiko who had just arrived, and then she and Sayoko hurried downstairs to pay the bill.

Seeing this scene, the female doctor glanced at Miyano Mitsuko and others next to her, and then looked at the man in front of her who was wearing a T-shirt and sports pants in early spring, and she was secretly shocked.

Because he left in a hurry, Dongchuan Che was dressed very ordinary now. He didn't wear a famous watch or famous brands, just a Nike T-shirt and sweatpants, and even no socks. But now he has passed the stage of needing famous brands to set off his temperament. Whatever Dongchuan Che wears now has a temperament that is completely different from ordinary men.

She had sensed before that Dongchuan Che was different from ordinary people, but now seeing that these six beauties seemed to have a very close relationship with Dongchuan Che, the female doctor was still secretly shocked and amazed.

Not only the female doctor, but also many passers-by who came to see the patient were looking over here curiously, but Dongchuan Che didn't care about these gazes at all at this time. He just paced back and forth in front of the ward. When the young nurse in the ward said, "The patient is awake", he immediately pushed the door and rushed in.

"You bastard! Why are you riding a motorcycle so early in the morning?"

Seeing Yuezhu Asuka lying on the bed with a pale face and one of her long legs wrapped in a hospital gown hanging up, Dongchuan Che frowned and said something. However, hearing his angry voice, Yuezhu Asuka did not blame herself or feel timid.

In her mind, she recalled how Dong Chuan Che didn't care about his slippers running away before he fainted, and just rushed towards her in a hurry. Recalling that urgent, flustered and even a little bit of fearful expression that she had never seen on Dong Chuan Che's face, Yue Zhu Fei Niao's mouth corners unconsciously raised, and her cold big eyes arched into sweet crescents.

"I thought I would never see you again."

"Shut up, idiot!"

"Woo - I want a hug."

"."

Under the amused gazes of the nurse, Miyano Mitsuba and others, Yuezhu Asuka opened her arms and asked Dongchuan Che for a hug. However, her right shoulder was also bandaged at this time, and she squinted slightly and grimaced in pain just after she raised her hand.

Seeing this, Dong Chuan Che hurried over to help her gently rock the bed frame. After repeatedly asking the nurse to confirm that there was no major problem, he tucked the quilt in Yue Zhu Fei Niao unhappily, and then glared at her, "Really? You're so grown up, and you're still messing around. There's no need to go out and race even if you're stressed!"

"But, you seem to be very busy these days, with company matters and negotiating cooperation with a lot of record companies. Let's talk about it later."

At this point, Yuezhu Feiniao rubbed Dongchuan Che's palm with her cheek and smiled sweetly: "I don't want to be a burden to the Dongchuan family."

"."

It was rare to see Yuezhu Feiniao being so gentle and clingy, and Dongchuan Che was speechless for a moment. But at this time, Yuezhu Feiniao said coquettishly: "Fortunately, it's just a broken leg. As long as I sit in a wheelchair, it won't affect the recording of the show. But I can't take a shower alone during the recording of the variety show."

".You are such a pervert, there is really no hope for you!"

"Then Che doesn't like it?"

"."
