Zhao Jizhe just disappeared from the company, just as abruptly as when he came.

Not too many people cared about his appearance and departure. The only thing was Auntie Clean who asked Chu Tianheng nervously once: "Is Xiao Zhao not coming?"

"That's right, he has other arrangements." Chu Tianheng has always been the most gentle and talkative in the company, "Auntie, what's the matter?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll just ask." Auntie waved her hands again and again, stammering, "This kid is pretty good, I can't lift things, and he often helps me..."

On the day Chu Tianheng relayed it to Li Xuan, the three of them were having dinner downstairs, Qi Boyuan was also there, and he snorted coldly: "Pretending."

"Did you go to do divination? Why do you have such a big opinion on him?" Chu Tianheng glanced at Li Xuan, and said to Qi Boyuan.

In fact, he didn't have so many opinions on Zhao Jizhe, largely because he was not there the day Li Xuan smashed the cup, he didn't see the bloody scene, and he didn't know how Zhao Jizhe followed him to the hospital in a dark way.

"Does it matter? From my appearance, he has a tricky mind, which is completely outside the scope of my cognition. I have never seen such a person in the first half of my life, and it is best not to meet a second one in the second half of my life."

Qi Boyuan spit out half of a crab claw from his mouth, saw Li Xuan raised his eyes lightly, stopped the topic in time, and checked the time on his phone, "Then I'll go back to the company first, and I'll go to the bank later...Senior, you remember that you are going to the forum today, don't forget."

After coming out of the restaurant, Chu Tianheng went directly to the forum. Li Xuan found a secluded place and called Sheng Min. There were still two days before the primary election.Watch various dramas at home.

"The weather is fine today, let's bask in the sun on the balcony. Don't stay in the study all the time."

"Got it, why are you talking about me now?" Sheng Min said with a smile.

"No way?" Li Xuandao, "Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps? How can you be like this?"

While on the phone, he walked around the software park twice before going upstairs.It happened that Qi Boyuan went out: "Are you free this afternoon? I'll pay you this month's account when I come back from the bank."

"Okay." Li Xuan thought for a while, "Six o'clock."

Seeing that the administrative officer behind him was carrying a bag of things and throwing it out, Qi Boyuan coughed uncomfortably: "Then who... I forgot to ask someone to clean it up."

Where did he forget, obviously the administration forgot, Qi Boyuan remembered it today and reminded him again.

Li Xuan didn't say anything: "What time does that forum end, so I'll call the seniors together, and by the way, I'll have a look at "One Corner" last month."

"Okay, I'll tell him."

Qi Boyuan saw that the seat where Zhao Jizhe had been sitting was vacant, waved his hand in a rare good mood, and hurried out.

However, his good mood didn't last long. Chu Tianheng couldn't make it back for the six o'clock meeting, so he was still on the phone.

"Senior, why did you lose the chain? It's over at five o'clock? It's not far away..." Qi Boyuan took off his glasses and wiped them, "Why do my eyelids jump..."

"Because you slept too much." Li Xuan tapped the keyboard with one hand, and touched a mint from the drawer.

"You have forty-eight hours a day when everyone is like you."

Li Xuan snorted, continued to write the program, and chewed the mints. Qi Boyuan dialed it again, and this time it got through. He slid his hand and pressed the speakerphone, and heard Chu Tianheng's voice slightly anxious: "Bo Yuan, are you in the company? Li Xuan didn't leave, did he?"

"No... where are you?"

"Is Li Xuan here?"

The signal at the other end was probably not good, so Chu Tianheng asked again.

"I'm in the company." Li Xuan heard something was wrong and replied.

"That's good, you wait for me for a while, I'll be right there."

"No, what's the situation, senior? Don't play tricks on me." Qi Boyuan's voice suddenly increased, but Chu Tianheng's end turned into a series of busy tones, and he couldn't get through again.

"Stop calling, it should be in the garage or in the elevator." Li Xuan saw Qi Boyuan pacing back and forth in front of the desk, "Can you sit down, it hurts my eyes."

"No, half of what I said..."

Li Xuan frowned slightly: "I'll know when I come back."

As soon as the words were finished, the door was pushed open, and Chu Tianheng walked in hurriedly, holding a laptop in his hand, glanced at them, turned around and closed the door again.

"There is something that I don't think everyone knows yet." His tone was calmer than he heard on the phone, but still very serious, "I went to the forum in the afternoon, and someone from Yuanxin also came, and I met a former colleague."

While talking, Chu Tianheng quickly turned on his laptop, and explained: "The two of us didn't get along very well... He participated in many of Yuanxin's imitation foreign games.I saw him today and walked around, but he bumped into him by himself... and asked about you."

"Him?" Qi Boyuan pointed to Li Xuan.

The latter raised his eyebrows calmly, Chu Tianheng reported his name, and said, "Do you know him?"

"I don't know." Li Xuan shook his head indifferently, "Ask me what?"

"I guess I don't know each other." Chu Tianheng said, "It's weird, and there's no point, say..." The words are really bad, Chu Tianheng paused, "I said that I just jumped from Yuanxin and thoughtClimbing on high branches, you don’t even know it’s going to collapse.”

"How disagreeable are the two of you? Is your colleague a primary school student? Picking this kind of thing?" Qi Boyuan said speechlessly, "Senior, don't be too angry..."

"You let him finish first." Li Xuan got up and took a bottle of soda and threw it to Chu Tianheng, "And then?"

"I didn't care about it at first, but the more I thought about it, the more strange it became. Although his character is not good, but according to my past contact, he will not go crazy without reason." Chu Tianheng came back in a hurry. In such a cold season, he ran away abruptly.Sweating, "Besides, "One Corner" was originally on Yuanxin's monitoring and analysis list. It is not convenient for me to be here now. To be cautious, I called the colleague who left the job and asked him to help me inquire about it.I just came out of the forum and he sent me this."

Chu Tianheng opened the link on the computer, clicked a few times, and pushed it to Li Xuan.

This is a promotional introduction video for the closed beta version of the game. The moment he saw the page, Li Xuan pursed his lips. He clicked in, and quickly went through it in multiples. His fingertips stopped on the keyboard, and he sneered..Qi Boyuan looked behind him with a livid face, took the laptop from Li Xuan's hand, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want any face, at least change the skin, even the skin is so perfunctory."

"It's still shameful. This production company has nothing to do with Yuanxin on the surface." Chu Tianheng pointed to the company name on the login interface, and worked nervously all afternoon, and his tone was a little tired, "I checkedYes, it was registered and established last month, but Yuanxin must be doing technical support behind it. With this style of painting, I can see the shadows of several acquaintances... But the core content and gameplay are justIf you directly use "One Corner", you can tell at a glance if you know a little bit, or even played it."

Li Xuan didn't speak. In the office, there was only the sound of Qi Boyuan's continuous tapping on the keyboard, fast forward and freeze.Chu Tianheng drank his saliva and continued: "This is also what I find very strange. According to the usual practice, and even the situation of their previous internal meetings, it is reasonable to say that they would not copy so obviously, and "One Corner" is now aThere is a game with a name, and it takes time to pursue legal responsibility, but the risk of public opinion is huge immediately. Of course, this should also be the reason why another company was established to be the publisher. But in this way, there is another thing that doesn’t make sense, too much investment."

He frowned in distress: "I don't quite understand their motives for doing this. Yuanxin can achieve its current position in the industry, and most of its employees are capable. Many function settings in "One Corner" areIt's very complicated, and the amount of effort required to replicate it to this level is enough to develop a new game. Moreover, "Yi Yu" has such a high market share, and this kind of similarity is aimed at a certain type of players.Grab it? Increase the recharge discount? Then how to make money? At least from my point of view, this is a loss-making business."

No one answered the call for a long time, Qi Boyuan put down his laptop for a long time, but looked at Li Xuan, his tone and expression were a little subtle: "Last week, our server was not attacked again... yesIs it the same group of people?"

Chu Tianheng was puzzled: "It is Yuanxin's people who attacked our server? It's impossible, and it's not good for them."

Li Xuan shook his head. He looked at the pages that kept jumping on the computer screen. It was true that Yuanxin had been staring at "One Corner", otherwise it would be impossible to restore to this point in a short time.It is difficult to generalize which one involves more investment in imitating a game or copying it, but the latter is undoubtedly the riskier one.

They have no grievances with Yuanxin. Yuanxin is only for money. Whether it is skinning or plagiarism, it is impossible to copy with high restoration. Now, if they are willing to do this kind of loss-making business against them, someone will take it.It is for the greater benefit to fill the hole.

Who it is, don't think about it at all.

Even Chu Tianheng broke through this matter today...

"He came to you as soon as you went?" Li Xuan said.

"That's right..." Chu Tianheng heard something was wrong, and replied hesitantly.

Li Xuan pursed his lips tightly, knocking the mountain to shake the tiger, a consistent trick.Li Mingge is not afraid that he will know, what he is afraid of is that he will not know.

Chu Tianheng looked at his tense expression: "We have to think about how to deal with it. It's still in the beta test period, the internal test, the public beta, and there should be one season before the official launch..."

"When did the beta test start?" Li Xuan interrupted and said in a deep voice.

"The day before yesterday, the scope was very narrow, and it was only carried out within Yuanxin. I wanted to find a beta test account to come back, but I haven't got it yet."

The day before yesterday... Li Xuan was holding the table. The day before yesterday was closed and tested, and today he couldn't wait to let the news through. What kind of closed test was sealed for him to see.

Li Minger is waiting for him to give in. As long as he admits it, no matter how much the game has been invested in the early stage, I am afraid that the game will not be launched.He didn't lower his head. According to Li Mingge's aggressive posture, Shu Xin was probably seriously ill and couldn't afford it.

All crazy.

"Senior, don't count the time." Li Xuan frowned, "There won't be an internal beta and public beta. If I don't reply, it will be online next week at most."

"Wait?" Chu Tianheng was taken aback, "Who is waiting? What are you waiting for?...How do you know there is no public beta test?"

"Because it's for him!" Qi Boyuan didn't get an answer from Li Xuan for a long time, so he couldn't help but looked at him and asked, "Is it?"

"yes."

Li Xuan answered happily, but Qi Boyuan didn't know how to answer it, and asked tentatively, "Do you know who it is?...your father?"

Chu Tianheng on the side was stunned: "Whose father? The one who came last time?"

"Does it matter who it is?" Li Xuan said.

Originally, Qi Boyuan was only guessing. He had only a half-knowledge about Li Xuan's affairs, and he didn't know his grievances. It was just that Li Mingge's aggressive attack that day really impressed him, and he didn't want to listen to Li Xuan's words.The meaning was guessed right, and I didn't know whether it was more surprise or more headache: "Is it not important? Your father wouldn't really treat you like this... Scared you? Don't want this expression, is it your own?""

"No." After a series of questions, Li Xuan only spat out two words indifferently.

"No?!" Qi Boyuan was taken aback, "Are you joking?"

"Is it funny?"

Qi Boyuan quickly looked at Chu Tianheng who was also surprised, and pursed his lips: "Then is it true? What should we do now."

"What to do, what to do." Li Xuan pressed his temples, "Are you out of work?"

Qi Boyuan gritted his teeth, reluctantly pressed his emotions, and pulled his mind away from Li Xuan's sudden life experience: "I am preparing litigation materials here..."

"It's hard."

Li Xuan said calmly, if Li Mingge could persuade Dong Yuanxin to do such a thing, he would not be afraid of them suing.Domestically, there are substantial similarities in the identification of game infringements. There are too many things to do, and the gameplay and mechanism are completely unprotected in current legal practice.

Qi Boyuan wanted to scold people: "This is not okay, and that is not okay, let's just stare and do nothing?"

"Do what you are doing." Li Xuan said coldly, grabbed the cup and drank, pressed the table and thought for two seconds, his fingertips turned white, and his voice was still very steady, "...theyIt should adopt an all-free model. For "One Corner", the update progress will be accelerated first, the new map will be launched in advance, and it will be completed in two days. Is the senior finished? If not, I will do it."

"All free?" In just one afternoon, Chu Tianheng really received too many messages.

Li Xuan only asked again: "Can you finish it?"

"Yes." Chu Tianheng tried his best.

"Will it work?" Qi Boyuan felt his headache was about to explode when he heard Li Xuan say the words "free of charge".Being frequently attacked on the server is already the limit. Who would have thought that there would be such a way of hurting the enemy eight hundred and self-defeating one thousand. "If it is really free, no matter how fast we update, it will be difficult to guarantee that players will not be lost."

"Probably more than that."

"Not only?! Can you still pay back?"

"Shorten the upgrade time, give away props..." Li Xuan disdainfully said, "That's all the means, do you still need me to list them one by one? You don't need to worry about it, the revenue of "One Corner" will definitely be affected.Clear. Push the financing as soon as possible. For the two companies I met last week, whoever gives the most will choose who. There is no need to talk about it, but it must be fast.I'll talk about it later."

"Your family, your father, oh, no, adoptive father, right? What are you going to do?" Qi Boyuan couldn't bear it anymore and asked again, "It's not your own, and there's no reason why you have to do this. You're going to fight hard now.? There is no other way? Can you at least explain the reason to me clearly. "

"For me, no. I can't tell. Do you want me to write a short essay for you now?" Li Xuan's eyes darkened, "Just say what you want to do."

"Are you still reasonable?! What a fucking bastard!" Qi Boyuan seldom swears, stalemate for a while, cursed viciously, and slammed the door hard to go out.

"Bo Yuan." Chu Tianheng wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Li Xuan, "It's okay, he went to discuss investment."

He glanced at the computer screen, the screen was so bright that his eyes were blinded, he turned his head and touched another mint and stuffed it into his mouth.

Chu Tianheng sighed: "Then I will also work on the update of "One Corner". Don't worry, I can finish it."

"I'm sorry, senior." Li Xuan twitched the corner of his mouth, "Qi Boyuan knew a little bit about it, but on your side, I really didn't mention it in the early stage."

"It's okay, you guys have known each other for a long time." Chu Tianheng shook his head without hesitation. In fact, he hadn't fully recovered from the series of accidents. Looking at this young man who was a few years younger than himself, he comforted him."Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I will ask someone to inquire about Yuanxin's side. Maybe it won't be so fast."

In fact, he still felt like he was dreaming. He came back from the forum in the afternoon, but he didn't feel very good. Why did he suddenly come to this point.

Li Xuan smiled noncommittally: "It's not impossible to go faster."

The word became a prophecy, the weekend after this sentence was finished, before they got the beta test account, the game named "Void Island" was officially launched out of thin air.
