Chapter 305: Funny, Funny

The employee who leaked "clanad" was named Luo Mao. After paying a huge penalty for liquidated damages, Luo Mao packed his luggage in the dormitory and prepared to leave.

"Luo Mao, why do you do this?"

Su Hui, a friend in the same dormitory as him, looked at him and asked, both of them were old employees of the game production department. Su Hui never expected Luo Mao to leak the company's game secrets.

"I have long wanted to change jobs when people go to a high place, so I gave them some sincerity." Luo Mao replied: "Shui Munianhua's salary is twice as high as here, and they also provide the penalty for liquidated damages. Su Hui, there is a shortage of painters there, otherwise you will definitely have better development opportunities than Phoenix Company if you go there with me."

Nowadays, there are shortage of painters everywhere, and many people in Phoenix Company have been poached this year.

"I won't leave." But Su Hui refused: "No company's works can be better than Teacher He Xi, I want to stay."

He looked at Luo Mao and asked, "Didn't you also say that it was interesting to make "Fate/staynight"? You forgot the sensation of the game's release and the scene of everyone celebrating together? At that time, you swore that you wanted to stay in Phoenix Company, but why did you regret it now? Is money more important than games?"

"...Money and games are important." Luo Mao stopped the action in his hand, looked back at Su Hui, and said coldly: "But Shuimu Nianhua has made six games of the same type, and what about Phoenix? I did nothing this year - it is outdated, and Teacher He Xi can't keep up with this era!"

Luo Mao pointed outside and said, "Look at the outside world, the text adventure games on the market are all from others... Teacher He Xi has lost his authority. He is a cartoonist and cannot focus on making games. We will only bury our talents when we stay in Phoenix Company. You should know that this is the golden age of text games. If you don't take the opportunity to change jobs, when other companies no longer need painters, we will never have a chance!"

His quick words made Su Hui a little angry for a moment.

"This is not your reason for leaking the secret. And..." Su Hui gritted his teeth: "I believe that Teacher He Xi, he will definitely be able to create a miracle again."

"Okay, just keep dreaming!" Luo Mao shook his head and cursed: "The market is different now than a year ago. Players are spoiled by other manufacturers. What can He Xi do? He can't change anything. Don't live in his myth. The reproduction of "Pokemon" is proof that the work was obviously successful, but he still said it was not successful!"

"Who is the idiot in the world who will recreate a successful work? It's ridiculous to want to be better, I don't think it can be better!"

Luo Mao was dissatisfied with He Xi's decision and was also dissatisfied with the speed of Phoenix Company's game. He packed his luggage and carried it straight up and walked towards the door.

"Wait!" Su Hui finally stopped him and asked coldly: "You haven't taken away the script of "clannad"!?"

"What's the best thing to bring with that kind of idiot script? It's not a good story!"

Luo Mao said and left. There was already a car waiting for him outside the employee dormitory, and it was Su Hua's license plate.

"Senior, welcome..."

A handsome young man got out of the car. He helped Luo Mao put his luggage and brought him into the car. The two sat in the back seat and started talking after the driver left the car.

"I will take my senior to settle down first. The company has arranged an independent employee dormitory for you, which is much better than the environment here in Phoenix Company." The young man smiled and said, "There is a welcome party tonight. There are not many people in our department. The minister said that the arrival of the senior is a big event and everyone must attend!"

The young man's words made Luo Mao feel a little fluttery. This young man is an employee of Shuimu Nianhua's writing adventure department, and Shuimu Nianhua's headquarters is in Su Hua.

The reason why he called Luo Mao a senior is very simple. As the first text adventure game, the producers of "Fate/staynight" are called seniors by their peers outside. Many companies want to dig these artists from Phoenix Company, and then often give them titles such as "core artists of "Fate/staynight" and "Seniors of "Fate/staynight".

Although it is fake, many players will believe it and the advertising effect is very good.

"By the way. Senior, have you got the text script for "clannad"?" asked the young man.

"Yeah, it's all on my phone." Luo Mao's mouth smiled: "They let me go without checking it. I don't know what they thought about it... But this text script has no highlights, and I think it doesn't matter whether they hide it or not."

The young man was curious: "I heard from the minister that this is a happy campus story. What exactly does it tell?"

"It's nothing, it's just the daily life of some high school students." Luo Mao replied: "And the protagonist is similar to a bad boy. Except for being funny, everything else is very ordinary... Unfortunately, this script is not a complete script. Teacher He Xi, who is in charge of the script, is still writing it, and he has only written a few chapters now."

He frowned slightly. The story of "Clannad" is too ordinary, so ordinary that it doesn't look like He Xi's work.

"It would be great if I could stay in Phoenix Company for a long time. I could figure out what this story is about." Luo Mao sighed.

"Senior, don't worry." The young man quickly spoke out to comfort him: "I know the story at the beginning. Since there are no highlights, it will naturally be gone. The theme of "Fate/staynight" is set at the beginning of the Holy Grail War. This is the reason for its success. Do you think the theme of "Clannad" will surpass it?"

Luo Mao shook his head, the theme of the game is very important.

The story of "Clannad" is about the protagonist meeting an introverted and timid girl and trying to help her establish a drama department... Ordinary campus works, and the content is funny, and it is a joyful game. Luo Mao believes that its theme should be a cheerful campus love story, but He Xi said that the theme is a family, which is very strange.

He Xi didn't tell others what the specific meaning was, but the family didn't have much. The text scripts that Luo Mao saw had no superpowers, no battles, and even dark things. They were just funny and joyful. He couldn't see anything special about a group of high school students' stories at school after thinking about it.

"I guess Mr. He Xi has given up on the text adventure game!" Luo Mao stopped thinking deeply and said, "The clannad has a lot of funny jokes, and the others are very common, but... the minister asked me to bring back the text script. He didn't want to copy it, right?"

"How is it possible... plagiarism is illegal."

The young man shook his head quickly and smiled, "The part of the content you showed to the minister, the minister said that the happy word game is very interesting... We want to use this script to refer to the new game, and we will definitely not copy it. Of course, some similarities are inevitable, but our speed is faster than Phoenix, so that doesn't matter."

He said: "We are a professional gaming company!"

Luo Mao was stunned and nodded: "You are right."

Shuimu Nianhua's production speed is faster than Phoenix Company, and their text adventure games are relatively small, so they will definitely be completed before "Clannad". Even if there are similar plots, Phoenix Company can only break its teeth and swallow it.

"Teacher He Xi, don't blame me..."

Luo Mao narrowed his eyes. He didn't think he was wrong. What was wrong was that Phoenix Company was too poorly alert.

However, Luo Mao didn't know that after he left, the game production department of Phoenix Company immediately held a video conference, and all members signed a new confidentiality agreement. In the future, as long as the content of any game is leaked without permission, Phoenix Company will take severe measures to crack down on it. Precedents like Luo Mao will not appear again in the future.

Of course, Luo Mao’s incident also brought tension to some employees. They asked at the video conference: “Teacher He Xi, can you prepare a new text script? The original one must have been known!”

Meng Huo refused this question without hesitation.

"No, just know, there are only a few chapters of campus plot."
Chapter completed!
