At the beginning of the new year, with the release of ar glasses, the popularity of pokemon was increasing day by day. Especially after a week, when Anti-Entropy's ar glasses were released simultaneously worldwide, the craze for pokemon quickly swept across the entire world.
Every day, there were all sorts of topics about pokemon online.
Famous actresses tore each other apart due to getting too competitive in pokemon battles.
A Legendary Pokemon was suspected to have appeared over the Pacific Ocean.
Eden and Elysia took a photo together with a pokemon.
Everyone stopped watching movies and stopped simping for beautiful women, immersing themselves in the world of pokemon every day, unable to extricate themselves.
Naturally, the sales of Anti-Entropy ar glasses were far ahead of Destiny and Shencheng Technology.
Anti-Entropy was happy, but Destiny and Shencheng Technology couldn't laugh at all.
The relevant departments of these two companies had been looking gloomy since the new year. The employees were cautious every day, as if walking on thin ice. The person in charge of the game aspect didn't even dare to breathe loudly, keeping his head down.
They had already anticipated the advantages brought by pokemon, but they didn't expect the advantages to be so great.
According to the predictions of relevant institutions, in just a few days, the economic value that the pokemon IP could represent directly rushed into the top five in the world. This fierce momentum shocked everyone.
If it was allowed to develop for another two years, it might even be able to compete with Homu, who is in first place!
As the main designer of pokemon, Yǔ naturally became famous in the industry. If it weren't for Cocolia's help, the endless stream of invitations every day would have been enough to annoy him.
Thanks to Cocolia's help, they had a very relaxing holiday.
The long half-month break allowed Yǔ and the others to finally relax their spirits, which had been tense for a year.
Every day, they didn't have to think about work. They could leisurely stroll outside, find some local specialties, or stop by some interesting attractions and join the carnival called pokemon together.
When they were tired of playing, they could also lazily stay at home, the four of them lazing in bed for a day, doing some meaningless things together, or even just staring at the ceiling in a daze.
However, such ease and casualness is what a holiday should be, isn't it?
Finally, a week after the global release of ar glasses, Anti-Entropy collected sufficient feedback. The person in charge had sorted out the relevant categories, and Yǔ also returned to Anti-Entropy Headquarters.
Without the initial pressure and tension from the beginning of last year, he handled the listed optimization suggestions in an orderly manner.
However, perhaps it was to be funny, but a few of the high-heat feedbacks that were collected made his forehead covered in black lines.
'Can't we just rest at home and let the pokemon go fight monsters and level up on their own?'
What kind of capitalist is this? No way!
"Why can't I even catch a Magikarp?"
Fishermen are like that.
"Why can't I do segs with pokemon!"
?
Heaven defying.
These suggestions were naturally dumped into the trash.
Data analysis, group discussions, work refinement, task assignment—a series of operations can be said to be completely efficient. Those staff members who were initially somewhat unconvinced due to his age had long admired him to the point of complete submission. The massive machine began to operate closely under his arrangement.
"Brother, have a cup of tea."
Because things were relatively complicated, even though Yǔ's efficiency was already very high, by the time he sent out the last document, the view from the window had become somewhat dim.
Having swiped some expensive tea leaves from Cocolia office, Seele brewed a pot of flower tea in the office to help everyone eliminate fatigue.
A year has passed, and Seele has 'graduated' from Cocolia side. After Yǔ and Bronya played rock-paper-scissors, Seele was officially hired by Yǔ as his apprentice personal secretary, waiting for him to be in a good mood to make Seele a full-time employee.
Seele has been working very hard to use unspoken rules, but unfortunately, Yǔ has never let go.
The fragrance of the flower tea quickly filled the entire room. Seele first brought a cup to her brother, along with a sweet kiss, and then picked up two cups and placed them in front of Bronya and Kaguya, who were trapped in the code hell.
The current work of the two people is more inclined to the technical side, so naturally they are the busiest.
"Seele, massage my shoulders~"
"Received!"
Lazily leaning back in the chair, Yǔ stretched hard, then picked up the teacup, and the suitable water temperature made him pour it directly into his mouth without thinking.
He was thirsty, too lazy to taste the tea, and he couldn't understand it anyway.
Putting down the cup and smacking his lips, he whispered after Seele came over: "It doesn't feel as good as juice."
Dong.
Seele angrily tapped Yǔ's head, but didn't use much force, so it didn't hurt at all.
"Seele put in a lot of effort to make this flower tea, how can Brother say that!"
Putting her hands on Yǔ's shoulders, she massaged him with moderate strength while complaining.
"Hmm, a little lower... It's delicious, but I've been tired all day, and now I just want to drink something sweet~"
"No! Brother always puts a lot of sugar in his juice, and drinking too much is bad for your health!"
"Okay."
In terms of diet, Seele is the undisputed overlord in this family, and even Yǔ doesn't have the courage to resist. Occasionally, when he wants to secretly eat some junk food, he has to drag Bronya or Kaguya along, so that they can help share some of the blame if they get caught.
"Huff..."
After a while, Bronya stood up from in front of the computer. After letting out a long breath, she staggered to Yǔ's side, straddled his lap, and leaned weakly on him.
Fortunately, Yǔ's chair was big enough, and there was more than enough room for two people.
"I'm about to burn out..."
Since coming over in the morning, Bronya's hands haven't stopped typing code. Except for a short break for lunch, she has been working until dusk. Now her brain is dizzy from all the lines of letters.
"Sister Bronya has worked hard~"
Seele poked her head out from behind, looking at Bronya who was hugging her brother tightly.
"Yeah~"
Burying her face in Yu's chest, Bronya closed her eyes, using this warmth to dissolve her mental fatigue.
Although her figure and dress look quite mature, she often acts like a cute and spoiled little animal in front of him, which adds to Bronya's attraction.
At first, Bronya was a little embarrassed to do this, but after Seele stole the show so many times, she finally deeply understood the principle that a crying child gets candy.
Reaching out, Yǔ put one arm around Bronya and gently touched her head with the other, softly saying in her ear: "You've worked hard, rest well."
At this moment, noticing Kaguya walking over, Yǔ casually asked: "How was today?"
Her condition was much better than Bronya's. Gently stretching her body, Kaguya slowly said: "I'm fine here, they are all minor problems, and they are not difficult to deal with, but Bronya's side..."
Turning her gaze to Bronya, Kaguya's tone was filled with pity: "A section of her code needs to be re-written, and after it's done, a bunch of inexplicable bugs appeared again, and then..."
Kaguya didn't say much about the rest. Yǔ, who also knew something about this, felt like he was wearing a mask of pain just thinking about it, and the hand that touched Bronya's little head became even gentler.
Kaguya let Seele rest for a while, and she replaced Seele's position, putting her ten fingers on Yu's head and gently pressing. The skillful movements were like a clear spring, slowly washing away Yu's fatigue.
"Kaguya, can you help me massage me later?" Bronya raised her head, looked at Kaguya, and her eyes showed longing.
"Okay~"
Bending down and touching Bronya's head, Kaguya replied with a smile.
Casually helping her brother tidy up the documents on the table, Seele asked curiously after seeing the writing on them: "Brother, is pokemon going to be updated?"
"Yes, we are preparing for a hot update in a week."
"Update?"
"How come I don't know?"
Voices of confusion came at the same time. Yǔ shook his head and rubbed Kaguya's fingers, and the hand touching his head lowered to pinch Bronya's face: "This was decided when I went to a meeting with those operation managers this afternoon. You were all busy this afternoon, so I didn't call you."
Motioning for Seele to put the documents in the cabinet, Yǔ continued, "Didn't we handle a lot of players' opinions and suggestions today? The specific improvement tasks have also been clearly assigned, and they are expected to be completed within five days, leaving two days for testing. The hotfix will be updated in a week."
Speaking of this, Yǔ paused for a moment, then his tone became smiling: "Moreover, the first event of pokemon will also be launched after this hotfix update."
"Event? The one mentioned at the year-end meeting?" Kaguya's voice carried some surprise.
"Yes, that's the one."
"Release it so soon?" Bronya opened her eyes, climbed up a bit, and looked straight into his eyes, as if trying to judge if he was joking.
"Originally, I planned to release it after a while, but who would have thought that the ar glasses would sell so well? Currently, all global inventory is sold out, and the number of activations has exceeded 100 million."
Although his voice was helpless, the joy in his eyes couldn't be concealed. He kissed Bronya's lips, and Yǔ's voice rang out again: "So, the previously predicted progress is no longer suitable for the current players. Can you believe that some hardcore players in North America have already leveled up their pokemon to level 50 or higher?"
This is not the pokemon game in the game console. Whether it is the experience bar or the difficulty of the battle, it is much more difficult than in the game console.
"So fast?!"
"It's that fast. The background data shows that that person has been grinding for seventy-two hours in one go, slept for a while, and then continued to grind. I'm really afraid that something will happen to her. What if she dies suddenly?"
"Hmm..."
Seele walked over and suddenly tentatively suggested, "Then, should we set up an anti-addiction system?"
"?" (ㆆ_ㆆ)
Suddenly, three meaningful gazes turned to Seele's face, causing the little girl to shrink back involuntarily.
"W-what's wrong? Did Seele say something wrong?"
"Seele, you must never let this sentence out of this office."
Bronya's faint voice sounded, and Kaguya also added, "Well... let's not talk about this matter anymore."
"Tsk tsk tsk, you're really cruel, Seele. Do you want to see me being scolded by tens of millions of people?"
"Eh?! S-Seele didn't mean that!"
Seeing Seele's flustered appearance, Yǔ quickly grabbed her hand: "Don't be nervous, I'm not blaming you. Your idea is very good, but most of the players are adults, and they won't like this feeling of being disciplined."
Pulling Seele to his front, letting her squeeze together with Bronya to be hugged by him: "Forget about the anti-addiction system, but some prompts can pop up after players have played for a certain amount of time. As for whether they will care, that's none of our business."
"Those prompts, Seele."
Looking down at her, Yǔ said with a smile: "Since it's your suggestion, then I'll leave it to you to write, no problem, right?"
Hearing this, Seele, who had been a little worried because of the serious appearance of the three people just now, immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily: "Yes, leave it to Seele!"
In fact, these things are not necessary. Everyone is an adult, so naturally they have to be responsible for their actions.
But well, Seele's happiness is the most important thing, and this is not a troublesome thing anyway.
"Where were we just now?"
After being rubbed by Seele for a while, Yǔ realized something and suddenly said.
"New event."
"Oh, right, new event. It's time to unveil some of the Legendary Pokemon for the players."
Supporting her body to stand up, Bronya sat back in her chair, and Kaguya also walked over to massage her head.
"What are the specific arrangements?" Bronya said lazily, with her eyes closed.
"The plan has been finalized, and it is expected that there will be one hundred Legendary Pokemon and Mythical Pokemon spawning worldwide."
"One hundred? ! Isn't that too many?"
"You have to consider the population base, and the next batch of glasses will be sold in a few days, which means tens of millions of new players joining. One hundred is already very few."
Saying with some amusement, Yǔ continued: "Moreover, the Legendary Pokemon appearing this time are all secondary gods, like Moltres, Articuno, and Suicune, Legendary pokemon with groups. It shouldn't be inconsistent with the setting. After all, we are making a game for everyone to play. There can be only one of each level one god, but for these level two gods, let's give everyone more opportunities."
As Legendary Pokemon with vigorous energy, it is also very reasonable to have a few more children, right?
"What about Mythical pokemon?"
"For Mythical beasts, there are almost Shaymin, Meloetta, Darkrai, which are weaker, but I also put a powerful Mythical pokemon in it."
"Which one?"
Meeting the curious eyes of the three, Yǔ said with a smile: "Benares."
