Chapter 69 -69: The Point That Breaks Out of the Circle
“Got the problem, how to solve it?”
Jiao Liang instinctively looked towards Wu Mu, as if he really was the chief designer of their company.
Wu Mu did have some ideas. “First, we should stop marketing the game as compatible with the hard life of the common people. The more we market it, the more likely it will backfire. If we don’t mention this aspect, players might actually praise the style as being realistic and close to reality.”
“Second, change the name of the mood value to Dignity Value. Poor clothing and food should make the characters feel inferior, affecting their dignity. Also, set an independent dignity ceiling for each selectable character. Those characters who come from poorer backgrounds and have faced more setbacks should be able to withstand a lower dignity value.”
“Third, reduce the penalties for a drop in Dignity Value and enhance the rewards. Change the penalties to be hidden and staged, shifting from an immediate reduction in work efficiency and experience acquisition to triggering a major punitive event once accumulated to a certain stage.”
“Fourth…”
Wu Mu spoke confidently.
Jiao Liang, Wei Chen, and other involved employees hurriedly took notes.
They were astonished again. Aside from his programming skills, Wu Mu’s keen insight into players and the market was somewhat shocking!
His suggestions indeed seemed to come from a high level of understanding, covering all aspects.
They could have come up with these ideas if they had meetings over a few days, but Wu Mu had been there for less than an hour!
In such a short time, he had not only identified the game’s hidden issues but even thought of solutions.
Their company had truly recruited a mastermind!
After discussing the solution, Mingyu Game started entering into urgent version update and repair work.
Wu Mu did not participate in these specific tasks, he had other things to do.
“Little Chen, get ready, accompany me out for a bit,” Wu Mu commanded Wei Chen leisurely.
Wei Chen slung a grimace, this guy really didn’t treat people like people. Just because he was his ‘antifan’, Wu Mu would ruthlessly mock him for a slightly bad attitude.
But the reality was more compelling; Wu Mu held a position higher than him, and had just solved a significant problem for their company. Now, even if he called their boss that way, the boss would have to stand up with a smile.

But why wasn’t this person resting in the office? What was he doing going out at this time?
After Wei Chen got ready, he accompanied Wu Mu out of the company, stiffly asking, “President Wu, where are we going?”
“We’re going to see the game’s filming location. I feel like your game’s scenes are still missing something,” Wu Mu said.
Missing something?
Wei Chen didn’t feel like they were missing anything, but he didn’t dare to disregard Wu Mu’s opinion at this moment. He went to the parking lot to get the car, and drove Wu Mu and Lin Qingyue to several main filming locations of the game.
On the way, Wu Mu had a heart-to-heart talk with his subordinate. “Little Chen, are you a fan of that star named Mo Mo?”
Wei Chen sulked, “Yes.”
Wu Mu seemed to sigh with regret. “Why is a young person like you chasing celebrities? Now is the time to strive hard, how can you waste this precious time. Sigh, I actually had high hopes for you, thinking of letting you be the chief designer once I step down, but how can I be reassured when you are still chasing celebrities at this age?”
You stepping down, my ass! You’ve only been the chief designer for one day, and you’re planning to hand it over to me!
Can you stop putting on these pretenses, you jerk!
Wei Chen struggled to suppress the urge to punch him, and resentfully said, “President Wu, your lesson is well noted.”
Lin Qingyue and two photographers were already laughing beside them.
Even knowing Wu Mu was messing around, one had to admit, the scene of Wu Mu solemnly lecturing Wei Chen was too amusing.
The group soon arrived at the first major filming location of All Living Beings, a place in Shen City Jinghai District resembling an urban village.
Wu Mu examined the urban village before him and quickly identified the prototype of the game’s scene.
Although the game had blurred it, the terrain and characteristics of the houses still matched what was in the game.
Wu Mu led Wei Chen into the urban village, his gaze scrutinizing the surrounding buildings, as if searching for something.
Wei Chen guessed he was probably looking for what their game was missing, but what exactly was it?
He couldn’t figure it out.
After following Wu Mu around for a while, Wu Mu finally stopped.
He looked at a storefront before him and chuckled, “Why doesn’t your game have this?”
Wei Chen looked up at the storefront sign—”Good Mood Leisure Massage Parlor.”
Wei Chen: “…”
Lin Qingyue and the others behind: “…”
Wei Chen was really annoyed, so you think our game is missing a bath center!?
Lin Qingyue couldn’t hold back anymore, “Hey, Teacher Wu Mu, this is supposed to be a healthy and positive program, you shouldn’t be promoting this kind of stuff, it will get banned.”
Wu Mu didn’t blink as he looked at her, “What am I promoting? Isn’t this a legit business? Why would it get banned?”
He continued, addressing the female therapist who had noticed them and was watching the camera warily, “Hey, is this place legit?”
The female therapist didn’t hesitate, “Of course it’s legit!”
Wu Mu grinned and spread his hands, “See, she said it herself that it’s legit.”
After having a bit of fun, he turned to Wei Chen and said, “Your vision for selecting scenes is really poor. Everything else can be less, but how can this be missing?”
Why couldn’t the massage parlor be missing, they were making a serious game, what was the need for this?
Wei Chen was clearly bewildered, not understanding Wu Mu’s point.
Wu Mu shook his head slightly. Honestly speaking, Mingyu Company made high-quality games, but their thinking and vision were a bit lacking.
There were also big issues with their marketing strategy. It was one thing that previously marketed topics easily backfired, but now they were even ignoring such a natural hot topic.
He thought for a moment and then explained in detail to Wei Chen, “The quality of your game is good, the texture and style are very unique, it has the chance to become a hit, but it currently lacks a point to circulate and attract traffic.”
“The theme of expressing the lives of the lower classes and the common people could have been that point, but due to the mechanism conflict, the more popular that point becomes, the bigger the backlash you would attract later.”
“Besides your theme, the easiest topic to spark discussion and most likely to go viral is this one.”
Wu Mu pointed at the massage parlor before them.
Discussing such risqué matters was too easy to get people talking. If done with a delicate touch and good content, combined with the quality of the game, Wu Mu believed it had a high chance of generating buzz.
