When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay

"Damn it! Why is this happening!!"

Lilith scratched her head angrily, and the golden reverse cross hairpins on her twin ponytails were shaken by the waves.

Obviously, her mentality has been a bit broken, and she has completely lost her position in public opinion regarding the BUG. No matter how hard she tries, she can't put the blame on Gu Fan.

But just when Gu Fan thought that this questioning was over safely, Lilith once again found a new direction of attack.

"Okay, let's forget about the code, but how do you explain the tester thing! How could you choose such a person to be the test team leader!"

As she spoke, she took out a piece of paper from her arms and threw it on Gu Fan.

"Just in time, take this opportunity to explain why you hired a person who doesn't know how to play games to be the test team leader!"

Gu Fan picked it up and saw that it was Su Tong's resume.

I couldn't help but feel a "thump" in my heart.

He had been wondering before why Lilith never mentioned it after he recruited Su Tong. Was it because she was busy with other things in hell?

It seems now that Lilith didn't pay attention. The reason why she didn't mention it was just because the game "Sisyphus" had not been completed at that time and there were no bugs, so the timing was wrong.

Now, Lilith is planning to settle the score in the future!

But Gu Fan still looked as normal, and he had already prepared for this.

"You're talking about Su Tong? Isn't she the best candidate for the test team?"

Lilith snorted coldly: "Then let me ask you, there was a man named Ren Yu before, who was obviously a senior tester and more powerful. Why didn't you want him?"

Gu Fan spread his hands and said, "Shouldn't you ask yourself this?"

Lilith was stunned for a moment: "What does this have to do with me!"

Gu Fan said confidently: "That's because I don't want it? That's because they won't come at all! It's not just Ren Yu, there are several people who were interviewed that day, and they didn't come! Who asked you to forcefully stipulate that the maximum number of employees in our company is I can only get 80% of the salary from other companies!

"If someone changes jobs, his salary will be reduced. If you don't stab me on the spot, it's already a big deal, okay?"

"I'm risking my life to recruit for you!

"It's hard for a good woman to make a meal without rice. If I can find an employee like Su Tong who is willing to cut his salary and find another job, it's already a stroke of luck, right?"

Lilith was a little choked. Indeed, this is not a question of whether or not, but a question of whether they can come or not!

Employees can take up to 80% of the highest salary in other companies. This is written in black and white in the contract. Gu Fan can only act in accordance with the contract.

Lilith's voice obviously dropped an octave: "Then you can't recruit someone who is so good at playing games to be the test team leader!"

Gu Fan asked back: "Who said that gamers can't do tests? You're just an amateur!

“First of all, food now does not mean food in the future.

"Secondly, the profession of game testing should not have any requirement for game level at all!"

Lilith was shocked. This was the first time she heard this statement: "Why?"

Gu Fan explained: "It's very simple. Let me ask you, in this world, are there more people who are good at playing games, or are there more people who are bad at playing games?"

Lilith was stunned for a moment: "There are many people serving food."

Gu Fan nodded: "Isn't that right? Even in the same game, the game experience of novices and masters is completely different. Masters are very good at playing games, but they are likely to ignore the problems that novices will encounter.

“On the contrary, when a rookie serves as a tester, it is easier to detect problems and reflect the true state of players when playing the game!

"It's like doing math problems. Those academic gods can't explain the problems to the scumbag students, because the steps they can see at a glance and don't need explanation at all are insurmountable in the eyes of the scumbag students.

“So is there anything wrong with me hiring a rookie player as a tester?

"What's more, she graduated from Teito University, which means she has a high IQ, strong mobility, and is easy to persist in doing things. Aren't these all necessary qualities for game testing?

“It’s already great to be able to get it at this price, why do you still dislike it?

"She's a little better now, but there's a lot of room for improvement!"

Lilith was dumbfounded and seemed a little shocked by Gu Fan's shamelessness.

She immersed herself in thinking for a long time, seemingly trying to think of something that could refute Gu Fan, but unfortunately, she failed in the end.

Finally, she said angrily: "Okay, I won't pursue the bugs in the game, but this test team leader, don't think of just fooling me, I still have to talk to you!

"You two stay and work overtime on Monday night! I want to meet her in person!"

After saying that, Lilith angrily took two cans of Coke from the refrigerator and disappeared in an instant.

…

…

At 9 a.m. on Monday, Gu Fan came to the company on time.

I ordered a cup of coffee downstairs and looked out the window while drinking, feeling very good.

"Sisyphus" experienced a sluggish day after its release on Saturday night. Because the promotion method was relatively simple, its stamina was seriously lacking, and it even made people feel that it was about to cool down.

But on Sunday night, after Professor Ding discovered the two bugs of "Rolling Stone Acceleration" and "Dragon Wings", the popularity of the game instantly picked up!

Almost overnight, his live broadcast spread all over the Internet, and the popularity of the game "Sisyphus" instantly became popular, and it continues to grow and hit new highs!

During the day on Sunday, the game had already had 230,000 downloads, but sales were only over 700, which is simply appalling.

Most players have no desire to buy after trying it.

But things are different now.

Not only did the number of downloads skyrocket, reaching 300,000, but the sales volume also increased significantly, directly increasing by a single digit, soaring to more than 5,000!

Obviously, many players have already placed orders without trying it out.

Those who originally wanted a refund have completely given up the idea of ​​a refund.

Because through a large number of videos and live broadcasts, new players have determined that there are points in this game that attract them, namely "Rolling Stone Acceleration" and "Dragon Wings", so their desire to buy has also increased significantly.

The more obvious increase in popularity is the number of people live streaming this game.

Open the major live broadcast websites, and "Sisyphus" has almost swept the game area, and not only stand-alone game anchors, but many online game anchors are also playing it!

There is also a group of people specifically testing "Dragon Wings".

Of course, in addition to "dragon flapping its wings", they are also trying every possible means to test other possibilities, such as "dragon raising its head", "dragon wagging its tail" and the like.

That is, after riding the dragon, try jumping to other places on the dragon to see if you can bounce higher.

Although the test result is that the height of "dragon flapping its wings" is much higher than that of "dragon raising its head" and "dragon wagging its tail", confirming that the latter two have no practical value, this kind of live video still received high ratings online. heat.

There is no doubt that with this kind of popularity, "Sisyphus" will usher in a full-scale explosion of popularity!

So far, everything has gone according to Gu Fan's plan.

The only slight hidden danger was that Lilith took aim at Su Tong's gaming skills and insisted that she was not qualified as a test team leader.

Tonight, Lilith was coming in person, and Gu Fan had to prepare in advance.

After thinking for a long time, Gu Fan looked at Su Tong on the other side who was working hard on the computer.

Since the game "Sisyphus" was officially released, Su Tong's work as the test team leader has been completed. Like Gu Fan, she no longer has any work on hand.

But unlike Gu Fan, who fished and paddled every day, Su Tong was always busy.

Every time Gu Fan watched, she was playing "Sisyphus".

"I don't know how good Su Tong is at playing this game."

Because Gu Fan was quite busy, writing code every day during the development period, and fixing bugs during the testing period, so he basically just checked Su Tong's game progress during the first week of testing.

At that time, although Su Tong cleared the game, it was mostly a pile of failures. It took more than 40 hours, which was almost three times longer than the estimated average clearance time of 15 hours for players.

By the second week, Gu Fan was busy with a series of things before the game was released, and he had no time to pay attention.

He just made sure that Su Tong had not found the two hidden core mechanisms of "Rolling Stone Acceleration" and "Dragon Wings", so he felt relieved and went to do his own thing.

So far, Gu Fan has not asked about Su Tong's game progress for about ten days, and he doesn't know how she is playing.

If Su Tong's level of playing this game can be significantly improved, maybe Lilith can be silenced?
