Chapter 1: Fired
"Xiaoye, you have to ask your team to work harder. Our company is counting on this Dragon Ball mobile game to be profitable. Now that multiple advertisements have been released, we cannot fail to deliver the goods."
In front of the boss of the game company was a young man with thick dark circles under his eyes. His name was Ye Xun. He was 25 years old and was the main programming person in charge of the Dragon Ball mobile game "Dragon Ball: Gods Evolution".
Ye Xun was a nerd when he was a student, but because of his high talent in programming, he can be regarded as an out-and-out technical nerd.
However, this project was so rushed that Ye Xun himself had already worked overtime for a month, but the results still failed to achieve the expected results.
Faced with the boss's doubts, Ye Xun cheered up and patiently explained: "Boss, there are too many Dragon Ball mobile games on the market now. If our mobile game wants to be successful, in addition to being meticulous, we must also It must have unique features. Now I am working on the character lineage upgrade system in this mobile game. Once some programming technical issues are successfully overcome, it will be clearly different from other Dragon Ball mobile games.”
After listening to the explanation, the game boss sighed deeply, "Xiaoye, it's good for you young people to have ideals, but you know that we have invested quite a lot in order to win the copyright of this Dragon Ball adapted mobile game and the largest operator channel. Financial resources and time are not ideal.”
Ye Xun was troubled in his heart. As a technology obsessive-compulsive otaku, he could not forgive himself for being perfunctory with his favorite "Dragon Ball".
The boss continued: "If you really follow your idea and add a martial arts upgrade system and a bloodline upgrade system to the world setting of Dragon Ball, wouldn't that mean you have to overturn the planning team's original plan?"
Ye Xun knew that if he could not convince his boss, these excellent settings would not be implemented at all.
He coughed and said very proudly: "The Dragon Ball mobile games on the market now are basically under the banner of 'become a Super Saiyan and fight side by side', and then go on an adventure similar to the comic plot. But the problem is that no one has ever I have thought about creating new character settings within the original world framework of Dragon Ball. These new characters do not necessarily have to go on adventures with Sun Wukong and others. "
"In fact, I have studied the world setting of Dragon Ball and found that there are a lot of magical things that can be explored in depth. Logically speaking, the story background is also very large, which can completely allow newcomers to start a new story around the legend of Dragon Ball, but because of the super The Saiyans are so dazzling that we always ignore many memorable plots.”
Although Ye Xun explained his point of view in detail, the game boss responded impatiently: "Xiaoye, Xiaoye, you won't forget that the core soul of Dragon Ball is the character Sun Wukong. If you don't take risks with Sun Wukong, this Can it still be called Dragon Ball?”
"If there are no Super Saiyans like Son Goku, Vegeta, or Tarnks among the characters that can be chosen, will players buy it?!"
However, what I didn't expect was that no matter how the boss tried to persuade him, Ye Xun still used the old point of view to retort without being humble or arrogant: "With all due respect, the main core soul of the Dragon Ball world is only one: Dragon Ball. Others are not important at all, including Super Saiyan." So do people."
As soon as these words came out, the boss looked helpless. This Ye Xun was a young and energetic idealist. In the past year, he had been emphasizing the same argument with him: the core of Dragon Ball is Dragon Ball, and Sun Wukong can definitely do it. Make soy sauce.
"If we really make it according to your idea, all our company's investment will be in vain. It is enough to have famous skills such as Turtle Style Qigong, Kaio Fist and Yuanki Bomb, but you insist that the characters in it learn it Isn’t this a strange martial art technique?”
The boss couldn't help but get angry when he saw that Ye Xun was very stubborn. He was a businessman who only valued profits and did not care about ideals. Money transactions were not tolerated in the world of idealists.
"One more thing I've always wanted to ask you is, what is the setting of this super earthling? Is there such a setting in the comics?"
Seeing that his boss was in a bad mood, Ye Xun could only quickly and seriously reply: "Boss, I personally think that this setting of super earthlings is the highlight of the entire mobile game. Why can only Saiyans in this universe be able to awaken?" Super form, even god form? Are the people on earth destined to be an inferior race? This is what I said, there is too much to dig into. "
"Just imagine, in the game, players can control the characters of beautiful boys and girls warriors on the earth to evolve their bloodlines and upgrade their martial arts bit by bit. Isn't that the biggest selling point?"
The boss really couldn't stand Ye Xun's taking it for granted. He slammed the table and shouted at the top of his lungs: "That's enough! From today on, you don't have to be responsible for this project! I have signed a new game team to produce this Dragon Ball game." "You, you can rest now. As for the money issue, we can discuss it another day. After all, it's you who delayed the progress of the entire project. You can't let me pay the full termination fee!"
Seeing that his boss fired him directly, Ye Xun almost stumbled and couldn't stand still. He tried not to have an attack. He sighed heavily. In fact, it only took one more month to perfect the entire process, but the businessmen Already impatient.
"Xiao Ye, we are relatives, so I will give you so much time and opportunities, but you should understand my pursuit. Please understand me. At least I have given you enough time to achieve your ideal, but unfortunately your ideal cannot keep up with my pursuit. You can go home with your program code and rest. You don't need to come tomorrow. I will discuss the details of the termination with you later."
Perhaps realizing his own gaffe, the boss quickly added the latter sentence, but Ye Xun shook his head and left without saying a word.
When he announced the dissolution of the Dragon Ball mobile game production team, the members couldn't help but shed tears. It was not all because of losing their jobs. As long as young people have the skills, there are many IT companies. It's more of a sadness that their ideals cannot be realized.
After Ye Xun returned home with his computer, he seemed to have been drained of all his strength as soon as he entered the door. He knew that the boss was a pure businessman who just wanted to get the game on the shelves and make money quickly. He didn't care whether the mobile game had any characteristics. As long as he could make a lot of money after it was put on the shelves, he would leave after making money.
"I am naive, too naive, naive."
Ye Xun took a bottle of beer from the refrigerator and drank it alone at the computer desk. He looked at the desktop of Sun Wukong transformed into the Super Saiyan God on the computer screen and was fascinated for a while.
After a while, he was heard mumbling: "What's so great about the Super Saiyan God? Those earth-shattering monks in fantasy novels who ascended to the Broken World can destroy you. The world setting of "Dragon Ball" that only relies on combat power and destructive power to measure strength is itself the lowest end of the universe. What can your Kamehameha do? Did you win the Two-Dimensional Foil or the Mountain and River Map?"
After drinking a few bottles of wine, Ye Xun began to talk nonsense to the computer. If others heard it, they would probably laugh out loud, because Ye Xun said some unconvinced childish words.
For example, "If I were in the Dragon Ball world, I wouldn't let the Saiyans play a one-man show."
As he spoke, Ye Xun's consciousness began to blur. He felt very tired, and his eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and fell down desperately. Before his eyes fell into darkness, he still saw the desktop of Sun Wukong turning into a Super Saiyan God.
In this quiet night, Ye Xun's heart stopped beating, and then the computer also fell into a black screen and could never be turned on again.
On July 13, 2017, the famous game developer Ye Xun passed away peacefully at home at the age of 25. His inheritance was inherited by his parents. Perhaps it is gratifying that Ye Xun still has a younger brother and sister, so his parents are not alone.
