Chapter 958: Change The Game’s Sales Period!

Atlas Studios

March 29th, Thursday…

Three days had passed since the release of the news of the Fantasy Battle.

Pei Qian specially chose to make a trip to Tengda Games today to see the development of Mission and Choice.

The reason why he did not go on the day he found out about the ‘Fantasy Battle Remake’ was because he wanted to deal with it coldly so that he would not leave the impression that ‘Boss Pei was in a hurry’.

Pei Qian knew very well that his attitude would severely affect Tengda Games’ willpower and working state.

If Pei Qian had gone to watch Mission and Choice on the same day that the news of Fantasy Battle was released, Hu Xianbin and the others would definitely have felt that Boss Pei had high hopes for the game and was worried about them. Furthermore, they would have felt a strong sense of danger and would have worked 120% harder to finish the project.

However, Pei Qian had purposely waited three days before going, showing that he did not care. Naturally, Hu Xianbin and the others would not feel that threatened.

Thus, Pei Qian’s main goal this time was to appease Hu Xianbin and the others. He wanted them to underestimate the enemy in the Fantasy Battle. That would set the stage for Mission and Choice to fail!

Pei Qian strolled to Tengda Games and saw that everyone was focused on their work.

The chief designer of the project, Hu Xianbin, frowned. He was shrouded in an anxious atmosphere.

At that moment, he saw Boss Pei walk in from the main door. His dim eyes suddenly lit up.

This feeling was like a withered seedling meeting sweet rain, or a terminally ill patient meeting a divine doctor!

He immediately stood up. “Boss Pei!”

His voice was filled with indescribable joy.

Now that Boss Pei was here, the sky was clear. Now that Boss Pei was here, Mission and Choice would be saved!

Hu Xianbin had heard about this news the moment the promotional video of Fantasy Battle was released.

After watching the video and the netizens’ comments, Hu Xianbin almost felt depressed. He nearly vomited blood.

How could he be so unlucky!

Hu Xianbin was already considered a “long-lasting” chief planner of Tengda Corporation, considering their relative ‘longevity’. He had taken over as the acting chief planner for GOG’s mobile game when Li Yada was forced to travel. After that, he was responsible for the development of ‘Struggle’ and ‘Mission and Choice’.

In the eyes of the outside world, he should have the title of ‘gold medal producer’.

However, Hu Xianbin knew himself very well.

GOG’s mobile game was a transplant client-side game. The main reason why it could be done well was because the client-side game had made a good start. Struggle’s success was entirely attributed to Boss Pei. He was only an executor. Saying that he was the chief designer was no different from executing the planner. As for Mission and Choice, it was only settled with the help of Boss Pei, Huang Sibo, Lu Mingliang, Li Yada, Bao Xu, and the other chief designers and core members.

Speaking of which, he had done three big projects. Each of them was very impressive, but he was not in charge of any of them. He did not even have a chance to be the chief contributor!

Under such circumstances, Hu Xianbin was already under a lot of pressure. After all, Mission and Choice had invested a huge amount of money, and he had the heavy responsibility of ‘continuing Tengda Games’ legend and ‘washing away the shame of the nation’.

If he failed, how could Hu Xianbin face his elders?

As the game was about to be released, Hu Xianbin frantically tried to adjust his mental state. At first, he had almost calmed down. However, he did not expect that ‘Fantasy Battle’ would appear out of nowhere!

Thus, all of his previous worries had resurfaced and were becoming more intense.

For the past three days, Hu Xianbin had been very anxious. He had subconsciously opened the promotional video for ‘Fantasy Battle’ and watched it over and over again.

The more he watched, the more guilty he felt!

He was worried that Mission and Choice would die. He wanted to do something, but no matter how hard he thought, he could not think of a good way to change it. Thus, he became even more anxious.

He wanted to call Boss Pei to ask for instructions, but he was worried that Boss Pei was busy with other things. He was worried that it would not be good for him, the chief designer, to count on Boss Pei for everything. Thus, after hesitating for a long time, he still could not make the call.

Hu Xianbin was overjoyed now that he saw Boss Pei. It was as if he had finally obtained a second life!

Pei Qian asked in concern, “Eh? Why do you look so pale?”

“Have you been working too hard recently?”

“I’ll give you a week off. Go back and have a good rest. Come back to work after you’ve conserved your energy.”

Hu Xianbin was shocked. Holiday?

The chips were down, Mission and Choice was going to go on sale next month and be crushed by Fantasy Battle. He can’t wait to work overtime every day. How could he be in the mood to take a break?

He quickly said, “Boss Pei, I don’t want to take a break. I want to work overtime!”

Pei Qian’s expression darkened. “Overtime? Why are you so suicidal?”

Pei Qian’s confident and impassioned speech confused Hu Xianbin.

For some reason, his fearful mentality was completely gone, replaced by an indescribable calmness.

What Boss Pei said made sense!

If the goal of this game was just to earn some small money, it would not be a problem to avoid Fantasy Battle. It was completely reasonable.

However, Mission and Choice had invested so much money that it could be said to have cut off all means of retreat. Its goal was not only to earn a little money, but also to wash away the shame of the domestic games and show the new style of domestically-produced games to all players.

If he admitted defeat, wouldn’t he lose in terms of momentum?

However, Hu Xianbin thought about it and said, “Boss Pei, I understand the release date of the game, but the film schedule…”
