"Fuck! There really is a Mr. Ou!"
"This year's mini-game festival is quite fun. There's even an opening warm-up."
"Maybe Lao Gu was shameless enough to want to participate in the mini-game festival, and Yiyou didn't dare to offend Mr. Ou, so he resorted to this desperate measure and swallowed his anger."
'The bully Ou Zong is confirmed'
'Hahahahahaha I'm dying of laughter'
'Ou Zong is so cute'
"I'm curious about what kind of mini-game today is that made Golden Wind hold back for so long and finally release it at the right time."
'It's probably some kind of silly game for two players, refer to "Who's the Daddy"'
"Fuck, that's going to be fun. I'm afraid Brother Sheng will make Mr. Ou collapse."
"A new concept to revamp the workplace, right?"
"I've never seen a developer live stream their own game, this format is quite unique."
'I'm curious if the games I developed will be easy to play.'
"I guess so."
"I don't know what kind of mini-game this time is."
'Can't wait to see the actual gameplay of the mini-games'
"……"
The barrage was full of enthusiasm.
In the live broadcast room, Gu Sheng had a very pleasant chat with the host.
Shen Miaomiao also gradually adapted to the rhythm of the live broadcast and began to add a few words from time to time.
The three of them talked for about ten minutes, and then watched several promotional videos of the participating mini-games.
The live broadcast went on in an orderly manner, and for a moment, the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
And at the same time.
Off screen.
Lu Bian, who was sitting in front of the computer, threw a peanut into his mouth and pulled down the microphone of his headset: "Hey, is there anyone who wants to bet ten dollars on which level they will collapse?"
As Lu Bian's voice sounded.
In the group chat room on the computer, the outer circle of his avatar flashed.
In addition to him, there are more than a dozen avatars in the meeting list.
good!
Tonight!
Right now!
All colleagues from the Golden Wind Project Department were hanging out in the online conference room, watching the live broadcast via microphone!
because!
They developed the game!
so!
No one knows better than them how much fun the live broadcast of this game will be!
In fact, the mechanics of the game Overcooked are very simple.
The main goal of the game is to cook.
After processing the ingredients according to the recipe, put them into the pot and cook them by boiling, frying, deep-frying or stir-frying.
Afterwards, serve the dishes in order according to the diners' orders, earn profits, and wash the plates and bowls after the diners have finished eating.
Then start cooking a new round of dishes.
It doesn't sound complicated.
But the key is!
The diners' orders will increase more and more, and each order is limited in time.
The time limit will be determined based on the complexity of the dish.
In this way, the originally simple single-core single-thread will become multi-core multi-thread, and there will be more and more of them.
This guest wants mushroom soup, that guest wants vegetable salad, and another guest wants a wrap.
When all the cards are piled up together, players will be in a mess.
Of course, things are far from over here.
Although most of the time, we say there is strength in numbers and two people working together will not be tiring.
But after all, it is impossible for two people's thoughts to be completely synchronized and unified.
Especially in this kind of urgent situation.
The order in which two players process orders may be completely different.
In this way, a situation will arise where you say east and I say west, you say beat the dog and I chase the chicken.
This is how chaos arises.
Once this kind of chaos occurs, the orderly building will collapse in an instant.
The situation will get out of control.
As soon as Lu Bian proposed the small bet, a discussion suddenly broke out in the group chat room -
"I guess 2-1, the one where the kitchen is on the truck," Oe said. "The two vehicles will disintegrate and separate, which is quite torturous."
Dajiang has a deep memory of that level. When the development was completed, he and Lu Bian did the level testing.
They are both game experts and close friends for many years, but they still had to try three times before they passed the level, which shows how difficult this level is.
"I don't think they can make it to the second level. After all, Mr. Ou is a new player in the game."
In this regard, Jiang Yun expressed a different view:
"I bet ten bucks that they'll start arguing before 1-4, because there'll be a new recipe on 1-4."
"Brother Jiang, you look down on others too much. Mr. Ou is not good enough, but Brother Sheng has better skills."
Jiang Shan said:
"I bet ten dollars on 1-6. The level of earthquake terrain drawing is quite difficult. If you don't prepare in advance, you can only stand below and stare at the burning pot."
"I guess 2-2"
"2-3, Brother Sheng is really strong"
"Brother Sheng is so fierce mainly because another person obeys his orders. Do you think Mr. Ou is someone who obeys orders? I also guess 2-1."
"Have confidence. I'm prepared to win 100 million and 10 billion. I guess 3-1."
"3-2"
“…”
As a group of employees in the project department made fun of the senior executives, they spoke up actively!
Not long!
A lot of red envelopes were sent out in the group of the Return a Favor Action Team.
Everyone wrote their guess on the cover of the red envelope and sent it to the group.
Let’s bet on when the two people in the live broadcast room started fighting each other.
Only employees who guess correctly have the right to grab the red envelope.
As the bets among the players were concluded, the opening of the mini-game festival in the live broadcast room came to a temporary end.
"...It can be seen that the manufacturers participating in our mini-game festival this year are also very strong."
After saying this, the host looked at Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao:
"You two have both seen the video that was just shown. Who do you think will win?"
"Let's go for the dress-up adventure," Shen Miaomiao said, "After all, there are relatively few female-oriented games at the game festival. This game is very exquisite in both modeling and illustrations."
The host nodded: "Where is Mr. Gu?"
"I think the quality of the games we've just seen is pretty good,"
Gu Sheng is very sensible:
"Some of these games in particular have very innovative and eye-catching gameplay."
Compared to Shen Miaomiao's answer, his words were very ambiguous.
Because Gu Sheng knew that Shen Miaomiao, as the president of the company, was generally perceived by the audience as the company's mascot, which was not very professional.
Therefore, she can stand in the player's position and express her preferences freely.
But he is different.
In the eyes of outsiders, he is the soul of Golden Wind, and at the same time, he has gradually become a weather vane for updates and iterations in the gaming industry.
If he favors a game at this moment, then, not bragging, that game will instantly become a favorite in the competition.
This is unfair to other games.
The host also understood Gu Sheng's conservatism, so he nodded:
"The manufacturers' works are wonderful,"
"Then I also heard that the two of you who were guests in the live broadcast room today also brought a fun little game, which will be used as a warm-up for this mini-game festival, and the official version will be demonstrated today."
"Mr. Shen, can you introduce him to us?"
"Uh... sure,"
Seeing the host's eyes turned to her, Shen Miaomiao hesitated for a moment and thought, why are you looking at me? You are looking at Lao Gu. I didn't participate in the production, so how would I know what kind of game this is.
However, when the conversation got to this point, Shen Miaomiao also reacted quickly, a light bulb went off in her head, and she came up with an idea:
"The game we brought this time is a multiplayer role-playing cooking game that supports up to four people on the same screen,"
"It allows everyone to spend their free time with friends or lovers."
“Experience the atmosphere of the city, make exquisite culinary dishes, and let customers enjoy the food and feel satisfied.”
"Friends deepen their friendship, and lovers enhance their affection,"
“It is a casual game with a very cute cartoon style.”
Hi, hi! I'm so smart!
Shen Miaomiao secretly praised herself in her heart.
She recalled the conversation she had with Gu Sheng that day when they were catching lollipops.
If she remembered correctly, this was how Gu Sheng introduced the game to her that day, and she copied it almost word for word.
Shen Miaomiao was very satisfied with her answer.
He didn't notice at all that Gu Sheng's mouth twitched beside him.
Damn it.
Gu Sheng secretly cursed himself for talking nonsense.
I shouldn't have fooled around in the first place.
Now, it seems that little Nezha really regards this work as a relaxing and enjoyable casual game, and his heart is full of longing for comfortable cooking.
I wonder what expression I will have when my imagination is shattered.
Just thinking about it!
Over there, the host's business also came over:
"Wow, it sounds like a very leisurely and relaxing game. I'm sure the audience in the live broadcast room can't wait to play it,"
"Then the live broadcast room will be handed over to you two."
"Let the two of you bring us a relaxing, leisurely, and enjoyable cooking journey—"
After the host finished speaking, the camera switched and the main interface of "Overcooked" appeared on the big screen behind the live broadcast room.
Relevant staff came in and distributed wireless controllers to Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao.
Everything seems to be in order, and there is a lot of anticipation in the barrage.
But at this moment, everyone in the Golden Wind Project Department was laughing like crazy!
'Who taught Mr. Ou to introduce the game like this?'
'The director, hahahahahaha, who else could it be except the director'
'This is outrageous, Brother Sheng'
'The director knows how to introduce the game'
'I can't wait to experience the fireworks'
'The pot is on fire and the stove is roaring. Isn't it just to experience the smell of fireworks? There's nothing wrong with that. Hahahahaha'
'It's hard to imagine Mr. Ou's mental state after he enters the game.'
"I am dying of laughter. Brother Sheng is risking his life for the sake of the show."
"Why don't we go to Zhongjing to pick up Brother Sheng? I'm afraid that after the broadcast ends, the Ou Zong will bury the director on the spot."
'Here we go! Buy it and leave it alone! Brothers and sisters!'
With laughter and cheers, a shout of “Here we come!” appeared in the conference room.
Everyone focused and looked at the live broadcast room!
…
And at this moment!
Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao were also ready!
Shen Miaomiao's little face was filled with smiles.
This was her first time playing games with Gu Sheng. Oh no, it was her first time playing games with a boy.
How will I behave later?
Shen Miaomiao's little head was full of thoughts.
Should I be more dependent on him, help Lao Gu with his chores, and then let him lose himself in his praises of "You're so awesome"?
Or will you take the initiative to assume the role of a little cook, doing the three tasks of washing, cutting and frying, showing off your cooking skills and impressing Mr. Gu?
oops--
It's really hard to decide.
Just as I was thinking about it, I felt Lao Gu next to me poking me with his elbow:
"Hey, it's time to choose someone."
"Huh? Oh oh oh oh."
Shen Miaomiao came back to her senses and looked at the screen.
But at this time, Gu Sheng had already chosen the character, a raccoon master who was in a wheelchair and was disabled but strong-willed. He looked like a man who was determined to pursue his dream of cooking even with a broken leg.
Very abstract.
Snap, Snap——
Shen Miaomiao moved the joystick, flipped through the characters in the game, and selected her own character - a cute little girl with twin ponytails.
"I still look better,"
After choosing the role, Shen Miaomiao looked at Gu Sheng with satisfaction:
"I'm ready! Let's get started!"
Just say start!
The barrage was full of cheers——
'Wuhu! We are finally here!'
'This game does look pretty cute'
'It feels very suitable for relaxing with friends'
"Golden Wind actually makes this kind of normal game. I'm really surprised."
'In my lifetime'
"Don't worry, I always feel that this game is not that simple."
"Indeed, after all, Master Gu didn't say a word when he was introducing the game just now, and coupled with the image of him sitting in a wheelchair..."
"I have a bad feeling..."
As the barrage of comments continued, the game screen appeared.
Whoosh—boom!
Fireballs fell from the sky, the city was in chaos, and flames shot up into the sky.
A huge monster made of pasta and red meatballs, taller than a building, holding a knife and fork, is wreaking havoc in the city.
The Onion King stood on the roof of the tallest building in the city, looking at the Spaghetti Monster with a serious expression: "Hey hey woo woo hey woo (The Spaghetti Monster is too powerful) woo woo hey woo woo hey (Hurry up and try to hold it back)!"
The outrageous opening animation instantly filled the live broadcast room with joy!
"Fuck! The Flying Spaghetti God Cult!"
'Hahahaha what a stupid villain'
"That's too crude. I was wondering how could Golden Wind's mini-game not be abstract."
"This fucking Onion King really made me laugh to death, onion language, right?"
'It's outrageous'
'This is the most fucking ridiculous villain I've ever seen in a game.'
"It's so funny..."
"This is... the villain you designed?!"
Shen Miaomiao was also stunned when she saw this scene:
"This ball of pasta?"
“How oppressive!”
Gu Sheng shrugged:
"A pile of pasta taller than a building, it's scary to think about it ."
"I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand your definition of horror..."
Shen Miaomiao shook her head, feeling that Gu Sheng was more or less seriously ill.
As he was speaking, the opening animation ended and the teaching level appeared.
The wheelchair raccoon and the little girl appear in the top-down perspective.
Shen Miaomiao was on the left, surrounded by a circle of stoves, with two chopping boards in front of her, responsible for cutting vegetables.
Gu Sheng is on the right, with two boxes of raw materials in front of him. He is responsible for providing the raw materials and serving the pasta monster.
Ding ding!
As the bell rings, the order will appear at the top of the screen!
The dishes in this level are very simple, it is a vegetable salad.
The ingredients are cabbage, or cabbage and tomatoes.
It only needs simple cutting and then it can be served.
Shen Miaomiao rolled up her sleeves: " Come on, food!!!"
Before he finished speaking!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh——
A pile of turnips and tomatoes flew over.
Looking at Gu Sheng again, he had already pushed his wheelchair to the raw material box and threw the raw materials over.
"Hey-hey hey hey! Slow down! Four sets of Pu!"
Shen Miaomiao felt that if she continued like this, she would be buried by the vegetables, so she quickly called a halt!
"Old Gu! This is a casual game! Relax! Got it? Take it easy!"
"Besides! We are a clean and hygienic restaurant that meets food safety standards! How can we throw raw materials on the ground?"
As she spoke, Shen Miaomiao picked up all the food on the ground and threw it into the trash can.
A feeling of secret satisfaction.
If our game could be like this one, where all the money can be thrown into the trash can, I would have been financially free long ago.
After saying that.
He waved his hand: "Start over, don't panic."
Shen Miaomiao's operation opened Gu Sheng's eyes!
I even couldn't help but laugh out loud and nodded: "Okay, is that what you said?"
Shen Miaomiao looked at the order at the top of the screen and nodded affirmatively: "I said! Our restaurant! Clean and hygienic!"
"good,"
Gu Sheng chuckled, and began to slowly take out the turnips from the box. He pushed his wheelchair to the partition between the two of them and put the turnips on it:
"please."
"That's more like it,"
As she spoke, Shen Miaomiao picked up the vegetables and came to the chopping board. She swung the knife and put the vegetables into the plate:
"Waiter, serve the food!"
"Okay—"
Gu Sheng shouted:
"Laobaijing's authentic vegetable salad is ready for you!"
Brag——
The vegetable salad was thrown into the pasta's mouth. With a ding-dong sound, the tip was received and the progress bar went up a small space.
Shen Miaomiao was very satisfied and was about to speak.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Three orders appeared and Tomato joined the battlefield.
"Two servings of coleslaw! Two servings of coleslaw with tomatoes! Sorry for the wait!"
As Gu Sheng spoke, he slowly took out a turnip, then another turnip, then a tomato, from the ingredient box and brought the plate over.
Trip after trip.
Shen Miaomiao looked at Gu Sheng who was pushing the wheelchair, and then looked at the three orders that were simultaneously entering the countdown, her tone slightly anxious:
"Master Gu? Do you want to... throw that turnip to me?"
“Tsk!”
Gu Sheng was unhappy:
"We are a clean and hygienic formal restaurant! How can you just throw ingredients around?"
"I……"
Shen Miaomiao looked at Gu Sheng's smug look, glared at him, and said stubbornly:
"That's great progress, Chef Gu. We are such a restaurant that demands very strict quality!"
"Thank you for the compliment, boss," Gu Sheng nodded, "Food quality is more important than Thai..."
Before he finished speaking!
Ding ding ding ding ding——!!!
Five more orders appeared!
Shen Miaomiao's eyes, which were not small to begin with, instantly became like light bulbs!
The original three salads weren’t even finished yet, but five more were added!
The orders on the screen instantly became a string!
Shen Miaomiao's face couldn't help but change!
"Throw the turnips to me!"
"ah?"
His expression changed so quickly that even Gu Sheng was caught off guard:
“But our food safety is not good.”
"Yeah - you're safe!"
Shen Miaomiao slapped Gu Sheng's thigh, then pointed at the spaghetti monster on the screen:
"You're talking to that idiot about food safety. I'm already being merciful by not adding arsenic to his food!"
"Hurry up! Throw it over here!"
“Oh my god!”
Gu Sheng was shocked:
"Sichuan Opera face changing???"
