A Slight Smile is Very Charming

Part 27: I Won't Be Able To Stand It

"Dream Voyage in Rivers and Lakes 2"?

This familiar yet strange title makes Wei Wei turn her gaze from the computer to Xiao Nai. She blurts out, "'Dream Voyage in Rivers and Lakes' is coming out with version 2?!"

How come she has never heard about this news? Furthermore, she even gets to see the character designs of "Dream Voyage 2" on the Great Master's computer. What does this mean?

"The game is being made by you?" Wei Wei asks without thinking, but quickly rules it out, "That can't be. I remember 'Dream Voyage' is from Feng Teng (Soaring Wind)."

"'Dream Voyage' is indeed from Feng Teng, but 'Dream Voyage 2' will be a collaboration between us and Feng Teng."

His expression and voice are composed, as if he isn't disclosing something groundbreaking. Wei Wei is stunned for a minute before she could digest the news, "I don't think I ever heard about a 'Dream Voyage 2' though."

"It has not yet been announced to the public."

Wei Wei suddenly remembers, "So then the female thief stealing a man video is......"

Xiao Nai shakes his head, "No, about the video rights, I only knew of it a day before you."

Although he is collaborating with Feng Teng on "Dream Voyage 2," he has nothing to do with "Dream Voyage 1." "Dream Voyage 1" is a WuXia game solely developed by Feng Teng Technology as their first project under the Feng Teng Corporation. Since it's own by a different company, he naturally won't know what their marketing plans are. If it doesn't affect the planning for "Dream Voyage 2," there is no need for Feng Teng to consult him.

Xiao Nai wouldn't have collaborated with Feng Teng on "Dream Voyage 2" if he didn't take the funding and risks into consideration. And according to the collaboration contract, Feng Teng Technology is only responsible for the funding and sustaining the operation; the production will be completely his team's responsibility. Therefore, when Feng Teng Technology called advising that they wanted to add more features to the gameplay for stealing the bride/groom in "Dream Voyage 2," Xiao Nai was a bit surprised. When they explained that the idea came from the female thief video, Xiao Nai felt that it was pretty funny.

After thinking for a brief moment, he agreed to add the additional features to the stealing the bride/groom gameplay in "Dream Voyage 2," but he didn't tell Feng Teng that ASmileNaiHe in the video is actually him.

Feng Teng obviously doesn't know that ASmileNaiHe is him; the ID was registered under his roommates' recommendation when "Dream Voyage" first came out. He stopped playing it after a short while. It was not until he signed a collaboration contract with Feng Teng that he started playing again in hope to familiarize himself with the game.

Xiao Nai explains his relationship with Feng Ten while showing more character designs to Wei Wei. Wei Wei asks curiously, "What is the new features on the stealing the bride/groom gameplay?"

"To put it simply, there will be a setting allowing the player to launch the gameplay of stealing the bride/groom. Unmarried players who launch this will be able to fight each other to steal the bride/groom."

Wei Wei seems to understand, "So it's like launching the PK battles in the game?"

"Mm."

It does seem like a fun way to play, but wouldn't it become a mess? Wei Wei imagines the scene of all male and female players in the world fighting over the bride and/or groom, ::sweat::

After browsing through some character designs, Xiao Nai gets up from his seat to make some tea. Wei Wei, who's still looking at the computer screen, takes over Xiao Nai's mouse and continues browsing through them. She is so immersed in it that she has already sat herself in Xiao Nai's seat without knowing.
