In the Internet age, who still makes traditional games?

……

In the "Frost and Snow Project" livestream, which already had over 100,000 viewers, the black screen was filled with ceaseless, surging question marks.

A never-ending stream.

Growing more and more intense!

Everything that had just happened was far too sudden.

Moments ago, Zhu Meng said they had located the source of the bug and would give everyone an explanation. Then, they immediately started a livestream, taking everyone to an employee in the office.

Any normal person would naturally assume that this was to explain where the code had gone wrong and have the programmer fix the bug live.

Letting everyone be a cloud supervisor would be considered giving an 'explanation'.

Everything seemed logical and reasonable.

But Zhu Meng's thought process was completely different from what everyone expected!

After finding the programmer, they directly set him on fire?

Set him on fire???

This fire not only burned the person but also stunned the hundreds of thousands of netizens:

"Wait, wait, wait! What the hell is Zhu Meng doing!?"

"So, the source of the bug refers to the person who wrote the buggy code?"

"Zhu Meng's explanation means eliminating the bug programmer?"

"What an outlaw! !"

"Damn it, call the police!"

"It should be fake, right? It can't be a real murder, can it?"

"Hard to say, it looks too real!"

"At least the office is real! Zhu Meng's former art director posted the office environment to prove their identity, and it's exactly the same as in the video!"

……

Before the livestream viewers could finish discussing, the "Frost and Snow Project" account posted an update.

They brazenly released the video of burning the programmer as a sacrifice across the entire internet, along with the text:

[Thank you for your concern, the bug issue has been resolved.]

As a result, the netizens who hadn't finished complaining immediately moved the battlefield to the comments section to continue the debate:

"What a super-powered boss!"

"You call this fixing a bug??"

"We just wanted you to fix the bug, not to fix the person who wrote the bug!"

"My god, is it this dangerous to be a programmer at Zhu Meng??"

"Are you all serious? There's no way this is real, right?"

……

Netizens are certainly not fools.

At first, they were indeed startled by the live arson, to the point of worrying whether the Zhu Meng boss had antisocial personality disorder and suddenly went crazy and set a fire.

However, when the "Frost and Snow Project" brazenly released this video across the entire internet, everyone basically confirmed that it was fake.

—Who would voluntarily post their own crime recording online?

But this does not affect the huge repercussions this incident caused on the internet!

The video's popularity exploded!

This time, it wasn't just the ACG circle, but the entire gaming industry, and even the entire social network, was greatly shocked.

But this was not a bad thing for the "Frost and Snow Project"; on the one hand, it brought more attention from outside the circle, and on the other hand, it effectively shifted the focus.

—Who is still talking about bugs now!

Zhu Meng's boss angrily burned the programmer in the office!

Isn't this topic much more explosive than bugs?!

With Xu Meng's series of operations, the bug was still there, but no one cared anymore.

Even if the hired commenters and feminists were still trying to use the bug to stir up trouble, they were completely unable to set the pace again.

In fact, many people had already chickened out.

Yang Hui, who had been attacking Zhu Meng for objectifying women, gender discrimination, and having a company full of hooligans after verifying her identity, was frightened by the news of Xu Meng setting people on fire, and didn't dare to jump out and stir up trouble for several days afterward.

Meng Bing, the senior who didn't verify her identity but had been secretly saying bad things about Zhu Meng and Xu Meng through a side account, chickened out on the spot.

Not long after, she began to delete all the WeiGuang posts attacking Xu Meng, becoming an ostrich and pretending nothing happened.

Even Huo Dao, who had been talking about how high the gold content of the characters after the remake of "Frost and Snow Project" was, and how hard the modelers and animators worked, twitched his eyelids and twitched his eyebrows when he saw this video.

—This move was too deterrent!

Even if you know there's something wrong with this video, and the person who was burned is probably fine.

Just thinking about how Xu Meng could pour gasoline on someone's body without changing his expression, and throw a match to light them without any psychological burden…

Who wouldn't shudder in their heart when going against such a fierce person?

What if he gets anxious one day, rushes into your workplace while you're working, pours gasoline on you, throws a match, and burns you to death?

Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend.

"See, the problem is solved."

In the general manager's office of Zhu Meng, Xu Meng smiled slightly at Song Zhicheng and the little assistant.

Song Zhicheng, the head of the operations department who had followed, and Chen Mengling, the little assistant who had come to deliver supplements, didn't know what expression to make for a moment.

Anyway, neither of them could really smile.

Especially Song Zhicheng.

He felt that the professional experience he had formed in 7 years of operations was facing a severe challenge at this moment.

"Can… can problems be solved like this?" Song Zhicheng couldn't help but ask.

From the transformation of the "Frost and Snow Project" announcement, he could see that the boss liked to take unconventional paths, but this was too unconventional!

"Why not?" Xu Meng asked rhetorically, "Haven't you seen celebrities exposing other people's gossip to suppress their own scandals?"

The latest and most complete novels are first published on 69shu.com!

"Ah?" Song Zhicheng and the little assistant were stunned at the same time.

"Is this the same thing???" The little assistant was puzzled.

"Don't worry about those details." Xu Meng waved his hand.

"In short, now the netizens are no longer staring at the bug, and the people causing trouble can't set the pace, so we can slowly fix the bug."

Song Zhicheng was still a little awkward in his heart, but he also knew that Xu Meng was right.

Although the method was a bit crazy, the public opinion crisis of the "Frost and Snow Project" was indeed solved easily.

"You will have a lot of things to do next, pay attention to online public opinion and player feedback, and be sure to maintain Mengjin well."

"In the future, Mengjin will be more important than the "Frost and Snow Project"."

Song Zhicheng looked at Xu Meng in surprise. Isn't Mengjin the player community of the "Frost and Snow Project"? Why is it more important than the game?

But this matter is still relatively far away, and Xu Meng did not explain too much.

He drank the supplement and called Peng Linmu to arrange the bug fixes.

By the way, he also issued a serious bug apology announcement, assuring players that Zhu Meng was doing its best to fix the bug.

After the announcement was released, the time had already reached 5:50 pm, leaving only 10 minutes before get off work.

As always, everyone had no intention of leaving work.

But what was different from the past was that now the entire company, from top to bottom, was immersed in a bubble of joy.

Everyone's face was beaming with joy.

Obviously, although Xu Meng did not publicly announce the specific data after the launch of the "Frost and Snow Project", everyone was an industry insider and knew enough about ACG games.

Just looking at the number of streamers broadcasting the "Frost and Snow Project" and the popularity of the live broadcast rooms, they had a rough idea in their minds.

Looking at the content and comments discussed by players in P station, WeiGuang, and their own Mengjin, it was not just a rough idea, but a basic understanding.

So everyone was immersed in the pure joy of hard work being rewarded, just wanting to enjoy this atmosphere for a while longer, and had no intention of leaving work at all.

Xu Meng had no choice but to come out and chase people away—

He clapped his hands and shouted, "Everyone, look over here! Everyone, look over here!"

"There is good news to announce to everyone." He said with a smile, "But you should already know this good news."

"The new version of the "Frost and Snow Project" has been a great success!"

"Six hours since the server opened, the revenue from all channels has exceeded 26 million! The current number of players online in real-time: 2.74 million! The highest peak online: 3.8 million!"

"These two numbers will continue to rise by the evening."

"However, we don't have to wait until the evening, we can draw a conclusion now—"

"Everyone, we have successfully created a miracle—reviving the "Frost and Snow Project", reviving Zhu Meng, in a month!"

Thunderous applause immediately erupted in the office.

Everyone's palms were red, but they didn't realize it, and they clapped harder and harder!

Some sensitive female colleagues even shed tears with red eyes.

—The previous month was really too hard.

Xu Meng shouted loudly in the applause: "I won't say any more nonsense!"

"Everyone gets a bonus!"

"Keep going for another week, and all departments will take turns to take a vacation!"

"No work tomorrow afternoon, collective dinner! Those who don't want to have dinner can leave work early!"

"Now, get off work, dismiss!"

The applause immediately became more enthusiastic, and outgoing colleagues cheered on the spot.

The entire company, from top to bottom, was jubilant.

At this point, Zhu Meng's crisis of bankruptcy finally disappeared.

Asking for monthly tickets, asking for follow-up reading, asking for recommendations!
