Let you make animations and develop virtual Pokémon? Chapter 002

“Come in.”

Ye Xiao turned around and sat back down in his office chair.

Soon, the door slowly opened, and a graceful figure appeared at the doorway.

This was a woman with delicate features and smooth, fair skin.

Her long, dark hair cascaded like a waterfall over her shoulders, and a secretary’s uniform outlined her graceful figure. Her thighs, visible beneath black stockings, appeared very full yet without a trace of excess flesh.

At this moment, the woman was holding a steaming cup of coffee and carefully walking towards Ye Xiao.

When she reached Ye Xiao’s side, she leaned slightly forward and gently placed the steaming coffee on the desk.

The cleavage inadvertently revealed made Ye Xiao unable to resist glancing at it.

The woman’s name was Rui Qing, and she was the secretary the system had given him.

“Boss, about the online comments… have you seen them?”

At this moment, an undisguised look of worry appeared on Rui Qing’s charming face.

As Ye Xiao’s secretary, she was very concerned about the company’s future, and the overwhelming online criticism today made her somewhat anxious.

“There’s no need to pay attention to these comments.”

Facing Rui Qing’s concern, Ye Xiao unhurriedly picked up the coffee and gently blew on it.

He knew before producing this animation that if he didn’t change the plot and continued to have Ash only reach the top 32 in the Indigo Plateau Conference, being criticized a few times was inevitable.

However, in Ye Xiao’s view, the online criticism was just a small storm, fundamentally different from other works that were criticized. Most netizens were just following the trend and cursing a bit, but deep down, they actually loved this animation.

As a game planner in his previous life, Ye Xiao knew one thing deeply: sometimes, a regrettable ending is far more memorable than a perfect one.

If Ash had truly won the Indigo Plateau Conference, the audience might not be as eager for the subsequent plot developments as they are now.

Just like now, as soon as they heard he wasn’t making animation next but rather a game, fans across the entire network were in an uproar.

Rui Qing saw that her boss showed no reaction at all and immediately felt anxious for him, unable to help but say:

“But boss, it’s not just the online comments; even the team members are saying the same thing. We’re not doing animation properly, but instead thinking about making games…”

To leap from one field to another in one step is absolutely unrealistic.

To create a game, it would be impossible with the company’s current team. Making games and making animations are completely different things. The company’s current team could at most contribute in the art department.

This meant that the company would need to recruit professional employees in the game field, and the company would also need to expand.

Even if people were recruited, the process of developing a game is extremely complex, requiring the formulation of a game development plan, then game design, art and music production, programming, testing and debugging, and many other steps.

Moreover, this is a path that requires a large amount of capital.

Not to mention where her boss would get so much money, but even if a game were made, there’s also the risk of it failing miserably.

Now, with the entire network filled with criticism, what if fans don’t buy into the game once it’s made?

Therefore, Rui Qing couldn’t imagine what her boss was thinking.

In Rui Qing’s “you’re crazy” expression, Ye Xiao calmly sipped his coffee.

“No need to worry, I’ve already made thorough preparations. My business trip a few weeks ago wasn’t in vain.”

In fact, as early as last month, Ye Xiao discovered that his Popularity Value had reached 1%.

This was enough to indicate the success of “Pokémon Season 1.”

Since the Popularity Value reached the first milestone, the system rewarded him with a large number of Pokémon Points, which could be used to purchase items in the System Shop.

When he browsed the items available for purchase at 1% Popularity progress in the System Shop, he found high-tech technologies that surpassed modern scientific levels by decades.

Under these circumstances, in order for the game to quickly break through and become popular worldwide, Ye Xiao decided to directly take the high-end route that no company on the market possessed: virtual reality games!

He directly exchanged two black technologies in the System Shop, both of which far exceeded this era.

One was a virtual game development engine from 2080, and the other was a complete brain-computer interface technology.

Although the concept of brain-computer interfaces has existed in reality for a long time and has made initial progress, this technology is not mature, has low synchronization, requires extreme concentration to operate, and can only perform simple controls.

The complete brain-computer interface technology that Ye Xiao exchanged from the System Shop is difficult to explain with modern science.

It could actually ensure that the human consciousness could be separated from the physical body and connected to another virtual carrier while ensuring absolute safety, achieving 100% synchronization.

Although both are brain-computer interfaces, the technological gap is so vast that it cannot be described in words.

Undoubtedly, if this brain-computer interface technology, which only appears in anime and movies, were combined with a virtual game development engine from 2080, the entire world would undoubtedly cause an unprecedented huge sensation.

However, Ye Xiao had to face a cruel reality.

His starting point was too low; he had no money and no power. In terms of both fame and funding, he simply couldn’t compare to those big game companies.

With only the technology, he didn’t have enough funds to mass-produce brain-computer interfaces, let alone the unknown cost of developing and producing virtual games.

Even with these two technologies, it was a lone struggle.

Therefore, after much deliberation, he resolutely decided to contribute the brain-computer interface technology to the country.

Instead of looking for investors, it was more correct to directly find the country, although Ye Xiao admitted it was a huge gamble.

After two weeks of production and testing, the first true virtual helmet on Blue Star was born!

Subsequently, the country held a day of in-depth discussions and decided to cooperate with Ye Xiao.

At this moment, Ye Xiao knew he had gambled correctly.

The country, amidst doubt and belief, ultimately chose to believe.

In fact, in the eyes of the high-ranking officials of the country, his technology was given to the nation, and he had indeed made significant contributions.

But… what about the source of this technology?

The most professional and authoritative brain-computer interface teams in the world are far from capable of achieving what a young man in his twenties, who works in animation, managed to achieve on his own. Where did he get this technology?

The high-ranking officials could tell that Ye Xiao intentionally concealed something, but they chose to show him respect.

Regardless, with Long Nation obtaining this technology, it meant they were at the forefront of the world.

It’s important to note that this technology is not limited to the gaming field.

Once fully mastered, it will have broad application prospects in fields such as medicine, education, and even military.

Ultimately, the country invested currency to acquire 20% of Arceus Company’s shares, pledging to safeguard Arceus Company, provide all initial operating funds for Arceus Company, and not interfere with Ye Xiao’s future decisions.

For Ye Xiao, the funding for both mass-producing virtual helmets and developing virtual games was perfectly resolved.

He wouldn’t need to seek funding from anyone in the future if he ran out of money; this was the benefit of having the country’s backing.

He knew very well that for the country, this 20% stake was not important; what the country valued was his “mysterious” potential.

To be able to produce this technology in this era was simply not something humans could do.

Even if Ye Xiao directly claimed he was an alien or a transmigrator, the country probably wouldn’t have any doubts.
