New Times, New Hell

Luo Feng's garden party lasted until the end of the Hungry Ghost Festival. After the [-]th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, all ghosts returned to the Yin Cao Division, and the Ghost Festival officially came to an end.

But in fact, during the daytime of the Hungry Ghost Festival, the garden party was overcrowded.

First, a large number of pictures and related information of the garden party were widely disseminated in the circle of friends, which aroused the curiosity of many people. Yes, it also sparked several hot searches on Weibo.

In this way, not only the locals in Fucheng, but also netizens all over the country know about such an interesting, special and amazingly effective garden party. Therefore, during the daytime of the next day, people who have time and conditions permit basically want to come and have a look. The most exaggerated What's more, friends from other places flew over to participate.

In the end, there was really no other way, Luo Feng could only limit the number of people in the garden fair, and temporarily increase the number of people... Well, ghost hands to maintain order.

The netizens who came here specially to participate but were blocked by the current limit were naturally unwilling, but they had no choice. At first, everyone thought that a garden party of this scale and effect must be a commercial event organized by a professional planning company. Some people even swore to analyze and deduce that the professional amusement park team and special effects team were behind it. It turned out that it was just an employee activity of the local company in the development zone.

What else can netizens say, apart from calling daddy with tears in their eyes, the other choice is to go crazy under the hot search and cue other domestic amusement parks and movie special effects teams to come out and get beaten.

Furthermore, many netizens followed the hot search, isn't this the company of the CEO and seniors?

CP fans cheered: The CEO and seniors are real! ... Although I can't tell what the relationship between the company's garden party and their relationship is, it doesn't matter, it's true anyway!

Then Jinglu Future official blog and Shang Que attracted another wave of fans.

Of course, more people were still amazed by the garden fair itself, and many people shouted that they hoped that Luo Feng would continue to hold this garden fair and make it into a special paradise.

Back to reality, it’s useless for those netizens who can’t get in because of the current limit to be reconciled. This is a private event of their company, and there is no entry fee. Just closed the door and stopped picking up customers, and the netizens had nothing to say.

But not all tourists are so qualified. Some of the tourists who are used to it directly made a fuss, and even alarmed the government of the development zone.

Speaking of which, the development zone has been included in the planning for several years, but apart from the science and technology park, the business popularity has not been developed so far. The main reason is that the location is relatively remote. Except for those who work here, no one usually comes to play. There have been several gourmet meals in the district, but because the activities were too ordinary, they didn't come up with anything famous in the end.

No one expected that a fair organized by a company in the science and technology park would accidentally detonate the flow of people in the development zone.

Not to mention the publicity effect and follow-up benefits brought by the garden party, the current safety alone is worth paying attention to. In the end, the district government made a decision and dispatched a team to help maintain order. It was suppressed.

The employees of Jinglu Future have also become favorites in the circle of friends in the past two days. When the number of garden fairs is limited and many people want to participate but cannot get in, the employees of Jinglu Future can bring five companies with their work cards. Friends other than friends come and go at will - so all the employees of our company, especially the programmers who have never been very sociable, have reached the pinnacle of their social career on this day.

During this period, some outrageous things happened. For example, after a few people entered the garden fair, they were about to sweep up all the goods in the stalls in the ghost market. These behaviors were protested by other tourists and sparked small There was a small conflict, and when the staff inquired at the end, these sweepers were actually purchasing agents...

It turned out that after the popular search at the garden fair, there were keen purchasing agents and scalpers who sensed business opportunities and posted news on the Internet that they could help friends from other places to purchase goods in ghost markets, and received enthusiastic responses from netizens.

Yu Zhengdu who heard the news:? ? ? ? ? ?

He opened the mobile phone shopping app and searched Ghost Market... Sure enough, a lot of shopping agent pages popped up.

Yu Zhengdu: ......... If anyone in the world is faster than a Hong Kong reporter, it must be a Taobao seller!

Looking at the popular purchasing agents, there are mainly small coffins, blue and white porcelain urns, etc. It can be seen that the current netizens also have no taboos.

……

Near the end of the Hungry Ghost Festival, Luo Feng's staff began to clear the venue. Although many tourists were still unsatisfied and strongly demanded to extend the time, Luo Feng's attitude was firm. The ghost market vendors and other staff directly closed the stalls and dismissed them. This is an activity for employees, and it is reasonable to close the business ruthlessly when the time comes. There is no other way, and everyone has no choice but to disband.

Because of yesterday's kidnapping incident, although it was resolved without any risk, Luo Feng and the district government attached great importance to it, and specially strengthened the patrol of the garden party and the surrounding area. Therefore, although there were many people, the activities in two nights and one day , It was all right, it was a very successful demonstration of a large-scale event.

Until the early hours of the morning, all the tourists were finally evacuated, all the ghosts disappeared, and all the teams maintaining law and order were withdrawn. The lively garden party for a whole day was silent, the lights were extinguished, and the magnificent and continuous buildings were plunged into darkness. Looking at it from a distance, suddenly, a little sense of illusion came into being.

The dense street lamps swayed gently, making the buildings more and more like another world.

Yu Zhengdu and Shang Que stood not far away, looking up at the scenes that only existed in books before.

Yu Zhengdu sighed: "It turns out that the underworld used to be like this. It's actually quite interesting. I don't think I'm so afraid of death now."

"This is just a part of the underworld." Shang Que said, "The underworld is vast, just like the world, it has its own mountains and rivers, and there are many places that have not been explored and passed down, but..."

He paused for a moment and did not continue, but Yu Zhengdu already understood what he meant.

It's just that people in Yang Shi will no longer know what those places look like.

Just like those dynasties, races, cities, and legends that have been subverted and submerged in the long history, all the things that have passed away are no longer there. People can only speculate about one or two of them from the few words passed down from generation to generation.

The Eight Views of the Yin Mountain are just a corner of the underworld, and the night walk of a hundred ghosts is just the epitome of all kinds.

"Speaking of which, I'm a little curious." Yu Zhengdu said suddenly.

Shang Que turned to look at him with doubts in his eyes: "What?"

Yu Zhengdu looked at the scene in the distance, and his voice was a little curious: "Aren't you the ghost king of Luofeng Mountain? Why did the Eight Scenes of Yin Mountain reappear, but not Luofeng Mountain?"

If I really want to say, Luofeng Mountain is also a famous mountain in the underworld, and its popularity in the world is much higher than that of the eight scenic spots of Yinshan Mountain. But the strange thing is that Shang Que, as the ghost king of Luofeng Mountain, is the only one in the reappearance of Luofeng Mountain.

After Yu Zhengdu finished asking, he didn't get a response from Shang Que for a long time. He couldn't help turning his head to look at Shang Que, only to realize that somehow, his face was suddenly a little dazed.

There also seemed to be a trace of indescribable emotion in those deep black eyes.

Yu Zhengdu was sensitively aware that he probably mentioned something that shouldn't be mentioned, so he quickly said: "If it's inconvenient, don't..."

"Do you want to see it?" Shang Que didn't let him finish, and suddenly turned his head to look at him, the emotion in his eyes had been suppressed, and he looked as if nothing had happened. Seeing Yu Zhengdu in a daze, he repeated the question again , "Do you want to see Mount Luofeng?"

Yu Zhengdu: "..." He didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Fortunately, Shang Que didn't embarrass him, and he didn't continue to ask for his opinion. He just raised his hand and tapped lightly towards the void. As his slender fingers slid across, the surrounding street lights suddenly went out.

The world was suddenly plunged into darkness. In just a split second, Yu Zhengdu felt as if he was trapped in a thick cloud that could not be melted away. The surroundings were absolutely black, and he could not see anything. There was also a biting cold wind blowing by. , got into the cuff of his shirt, making him shiver uncontrollably.

"Is it cold?" A hand suddenly stretched out from the side and held his palm. The hand was wide and slender with well-defined joints, and gently covered Yu Zhengdu's hand, driving away the biting cold all at once.

Yu Zhengdu suddenly settled down.

Immediately afterwards, a little fire light suddenly lit up in the thick darkness, the fire light was far away, as if it came from the distant horizon.

"That's the soul lamp." Shang Que said.

The soul lamps lit up one by one, slowly outlining a faint shape.

I saw a place outside the horizon, under the reflection of the soul lamp, a majestic and majestic mountain ridge slowly emerged.

"That's Luofeng Mountain." Shang Que's voice was light.

"It's so spectacular." Yu Zhengdu said, he was actually at a loss for words, the mountain was too far away and too dark, all he could see was a mountain covering the sky and the faintly visible soul lamps, and what was there on the mountain? , but I can't see it at all.

The soul lamp floated on the back of the mountain, stretching all the way, like an invisible team holding a lamp, trekking along the winding mountain road, drifting slowly and with difficulty to the halfway up the mountain.

Immediately afterwards, the place on the mountainside was also lit up, like fireflies in the black sea, gradually spreading, slowly forming a galaxy.

The gathered flames finally dispelled the thick darkness, and Yu Zhengdu could finally get a vague glimpse of the scene on the mountainside.

Tall city walls, continuous villages, moving chariots and horses, and various figures of strange shapes.

The soul lamp floats in it, and the faint light barely outlines the shape of the city, but it is not very clear.

"That's the ghost town of Fengdu." Shang Que's voice was distant, with a hint of nostalgia, "Luofeng Mountain is located in an extremely dark place, and there are [-] ghosts under the mountain, and [-] ghosts live in the ghost town..."

The corner of his mouth suddenly curled into a faint smile: "So since ancient times, the Three Realms have agreed that Luofeng Mountain gathers the most powerful resentment in the world, and will eventually give birth to a disaster that will destroy the world."

For some reason, when Yu Zhengdu heard this, his heart suddenly jumped, and some thoughts flashed through his mind, but before he could figure it out in the future, he heard Shang Que continue: "But look at it now. Come on, all the powers of the three realms guessed wrong, the world was not destroyed by Luo Fengshan's resentment, but it collapsed due to his own inability to support it."

There was no sarcasm in his tone.

Yu Zhengdu couldn't say a word.

He suddenly understood what the weird feeling that had been hiding deep in his heart was. In order to save Peggy, they had a big battle with the demon Taoist Golden Crane Temple.

At that time, the Golden Crane Temple once said: Luofeng Mountain was sunk into the ground thousands of years ago, and the ghost king of Luofeng Mountain has long been...

Luofeng Mountain did not disappear with the collapse of heaven and earth, but sank thousands of years ago.

Why is that?

What happened to Luofeng Mountain Ghost King?

Yu Zhengdu wanted to ask, but couldn't ask. He was a little unsure whether this was a question Shang Que wanted to hear.

"The current Jifu is very good." After a long time, Yu Zhengdu said.

Shang Que looked at him straight, with some doubts in his eyes, as if he didn't understand why he said this suddenly.

Yu Zhengdu also looked over, with a little smile in his eyes, "It seems that Yangjian will not stay in the previous era forever. No matter how powerful and glorious the dynasties recorded in the history books are, we must continue to move forward. Qin and Han are very powerful. The Tang and Song Dynasties were very prosperous, and these histories are very good, but for me, I still prefer socialism, the era with air conditioners, computers and mobile phones..."

"I think you're fine, and you're fine now." Yu Zhengdu suddenly raised his fist, and said brightly, "Come on, Shang Xiaokui, let's fight for the rise of the new socialist hell!"

Shang Que: "..."

"You're right." Shang Que chuckled suddenly, raised his right hand, and lightly touched the void.

Yu Zhengdu followed his gestures and saw the majestic distant mountains, and the will-o'-the-wisps all over the mountains disappeared in an instant.

The thick black dissipated, revealing the world they are in now, the streets of the Fucheng Development Zone.

It was already the moment when night and dawn intertwined, and it was the darkest time of night.

There was no one around, only the slight wind blowing, bringing a little rustling of clothes.

The dense street lights illuminated the black world, illuminated the scenery of the garden party not far away, and illuminated the eyes of the people nearby.

Shang Que waved his hand casually, and those continuous buildings, Ghost City, Naihe Bridge, Poqian Mountain, Blood Stained Pond, Evil Dog Village... everywhere, piece by piece, collapsed in the blink of an eye.

Turned into soot, turned into a dream.

Mountain city walls are nothing but mirages.

The square is still the original square, and the open space is still the original open space.

In this huge space, it seemed that there had never been such an unprecedented event, and the memory of just a moment ago was like a big dream in life.

"Oh, what a pity, our company is too poor." Yu Zhengdu held his hands in his pockets, sighing, "Otherwise we would buy a piece of land, hold garden fairs every day, and make a fortune selling tickets!"

Shang Que: "..."

Shang Que endured it, but in the end he couldn't, and said resentfully: "You just said that the underworld is good like this, but now you think our company is poor!"

"It's not contradictory." Yu Zhengdu retorted with reason and evidence, "Doesn't this better show that I am a dedicated and good employee? I can brag about how poor the company is! Give me a raise!"

Shang Que: "..." He couldn't refute it!

Yu Zhengdu saw him so depressed that he couldn't speak, couldn't help laughing "haha", and patted him on the shoulder, "I'm kidding you."

Shang Que thought about it, and said seriously: "I'll give you a raise tomorrow."

Yu Zhengdu raised his eyebrows, and hugged his arm very sensibly: "Boss, you are such a good person!"

Shang Que:! ! ! !

Why do you have to accept a good person card when you give him a salary increase!

***

The continuous impact brought by the Ghost Festival Garden Parade is even more far-reaching than what Zhengdu expected at the beginning. If Shang Que's beauty was used to gain a little popularity among netizens, this time it was a complete explosion. As long as netizens online , more or less heard about this grand event, and even the sales of the company's products also skyrocketed.

But what surprised everyone most was the follow-up cooperation.

The first group of people who came to the door were Zhao Ruola's friends, who were also executives of other major companies. Zhao Ruola didn't know why at first, but when she explained it later, she was a little dumbfounded.

It turned out that the employees of various companies were envious and jealous after seeing the hot searches on the garden fair on the Internet. They all hinted that the company's administrative department hoped that their own company could also do more, and that the activities could be held at the same level as the garden fair.

As Luo Feng's garden party continues to be a topic on the Internet, this sentiment has an increasing impact on everyone, and it has even been reported that some employees of the company have secretly submitted their resumes to Jinglu Future.

On the one hand, the administrative departments of various companies are a bit overwhelmed, and on the other hand, they themselves don't want to have an event of this size.

But after carefully studying the videos and information on the Internet, everyone came to the same conclusion: they can't do this by themselves.

As far as the technical content of this garden fair is concerned, it can no longer be solved simply with money.

Of course, the employees can see this truth, but they can't stop everyone's itch. Even if they can't completely replicate this garden party, it's good to have one or two points in it. For example, the ghost market makes everyone envious. no.

Small companies have intentions but no ability, but large companies have a lot of funds and pay more attention to the humanistic care and cultural construction of employees. In addition, this garden party has indeed caused a sensation, and even the executives of many companies are a little moved.

So those who had cooperated with Luo Feng in the past, and those in Zhao Ruola's former circle got the best of the best, and came to find out which planning company they hired for their activities.

Unexpectedly, when I asked, the activities were all done by Luo Feng himself. Everyone was surprised that Luo Feng had this kind of technology, and they also fell into a dilemma. This is an activity done by others, so it cannot be bought with money up.

Unexpectedly, after hearing the questions from old friends, Zhao Ruola only smiled slightly and said, "No, you can buy it with money."

Everyone: "..." This is not the temperament of the Zhao Ruola they knew!

Yu Zhengdu and Shang Que who received the news from Zhao Ruola also said: "..."

Seeing their silence, Zhao Ruola was still puzzled: "I think it's good to undertake the internal event planning of a large company. Based on my previous work experience, this quotation is very high, which can relieve the financial pressure we face. Or What's the taboo about saying this, we can't do it?"

Yu Zhengdu: "...No."

Shang Que: "...No."

In the eyes of the outside world, the biggest difficulty of this event, that is, the special effects and props are the easiest for Luo Feng, and they are all brought by ghosts. Luo Feng wants to undertake these activities, as long as he recruits a group of strange-looking ghosts Staff will do.

They were just astonished that Ms. Zhao, once a technology tyrant, started the process of profiteering so quickly...

Obviously, the vice president, who has not been in the job for a long time, has already felt the poverty of this company... and consciously joined the ranks of finding ways to make money for the company.

It's really heartbreaking to hear.

The second person who came to the door was Wei Pin. As Luo Feng's earliest customer, Wei Pin had already owned a complete set of Luo Feng's products, but this time he came to the door because he wanted to talk about a new cooperation——to buy Luo Feng's Ghost Festival The IP of the garden party is used for game adaptation and development.

Shuangjiao Technology, founded by Wei Pin, is the largest game company in Fucheng. It has developed several popular games—many of them are addicted to by Shang Que. The response from the game market is relatively mediocre. At present, it is mainly relying on its old capital. Several studios of the company have not been able to launch an eye-catching solution for a long time. Wei Xiao is inevitably a little anxious.

This time, he accidentally saw the video of Luo Feng's Ghost Festival Parade on the Internet, which shocked him. It's a pity that he was not in Fucheng during the two days of Ghost Festival, so he couldn't come to experience it in person. Soon he had an idea, and immediately approached Luo Feng and proposed cooperation.

The cooperation proposal put forward by Wei Pin received strong support from Shang Que and was approved by one vote.

Yu Zhengdu: ... He really wasn't surprised at all.

In the end, Yu Zhengdu still gave some suggestions. The cooperation between the two parties will be carried out in the form of authorized sharing. After the game is launched, a share is drawn from the profit.

After Yu Zhengdu made this suggestion, Wei Pin hesitated for a while.

This form of cooperation seems to have advantages and disadvantages for both parties. For Luo Feng, if the game development is not successful in the future, they may not get any money, but if the game can sell well, they will receive a lot of money. Constant dividends.

For Shuangjiao Technology, part of the risk can be reduced. For example, if the game development fails, they can at least save a sum of money to purchase IP.

But Wei Pin will come to talk about this cooperation in person. In fact, it is precisely because he has extremely high expectations for this IP. In his opinion, the probability of success of this game is very high, so the form of sharing is actually a disadvantage for Shuangjiao. .

However, Wei Pin finally agreed. On the one hand, he was determined to win this IP, and the necessary concessions were inevitable. Both sides left a bad impression.

The most important thing is that during the entire negotiation process, Yu Zhengdu showed no signs of giving in. Shang Que seemed more interested in the game itself than in the form of cooperation, but the problem was that he showed an attitude of being driven by Yu Zhengdu throughout the process. The way Du makes a decision...is very confusing.

Both parties are cheerful people. After confirming the form of cooperation, other small details are not too entangled, including Shang Que's request that he can personally participate in the planning process of the game in the future, and Wei Pin readily agreed.

According to Wei Pin's thinking, Shang Que is the person who knows the details of this IP best. He is willing to take time to participate in the planning of the game. This is a good thing that Shuangjiao Technology can't wait for.

I just don't know why Yu Zhengdu kept wearing a bewildered smile throughout the signing process.

After they signed the contract, Yu Zhengdu shook his hand and said very politely: "President Wei, please forgive me in the future."

Wei Pin: "...???"

He didn't quite understand Yu Zhengdu's words for a while.

Seeing Shang Que in high spirits, he couldn't wait to put forward his first game suggestion: "I think this game can produce a magic weapon that can kill the enemy 100% of the time. There is only one in the whole server. I will design the acquisition conditions... "

Wei Pin: "...!!!!!!"

Does he regret it now?

The author has something to say: a special explanation: there are some differences in the descriptions of the underworld and Luofeng (feng) mountain system in various materials, and the settings of the underworld in Buddhism and Taoism are also different, and many records are contradictory There are also differences in the settings of different dynasties.

So I made a lot of private settings for this article, if you see some settings that are different from the settings you have seen in other places before, don't be too entangled.

Wei Pin: The professionalism of this product has been seriously challenged today!
