#2 Chicken Coop Collapsed: Occupying the sofa by myself! Brothers, big news! According to reliable sources, after Komera Yamamoto Studio was delisted, hundreds of top talents left Komera and joined Golden Wind!

#3 Turkey Flavored Rice Crust: Hundreds of people? Seriously? That basically puts them on par with major companies now? (Surprised)

#7 Seriously Injured and Collapsed: Stop talking nonsense. Golden Wind only took in seven people. It seems they established a new studio; an announcement should come later.

#11 Jiang Ziya Has a Headache: Damn! The Seven Renegade Ninjas! (Dog head emoji)

#16 With a Ma Yi Climbing: Hahahahaha, damn Seven Renegade Ninjas

#17 Litang Strongest Legend and Fierce Tiger: Losing both the battle and the people, Komera might start hiding things now

#34 I’m a Sliding Tackle: So ironic. Previously, Komera tried to use Little Polar Bear to control Chinese players by Chinese means, but ended up creating a united front. This time, Little Yellow did nothing and directly used foreign techniques to counter foreigners (Funny)

#53 Canned Cola 1: Feels like Little Yellow is setting up in Neon. This studio is full of Neon engineers. Will they directly send a Neon branch later?

#66 Little Lucky Leopard: Then the Neon branch’s logo will just be KOMINA with a horizontal bar on top (Side-eye smile)

#99 Plant Cilantro All Over the World: Single core becomes dual core, Little Yellow is about to really unleash...

Two days later, early morning!

Golden Wind’s announcement was released——

[Golden Wind V: We are very pleased to announce that Golden Wind’s second studio, "Steel Chain Fingers," is officially established today! In the days ahead, we will continue to uphold our high fighting spirit, sincere enthusiasm, and the pioneering Golden spirit to bring you more and better game works! Celebration!!!]

Not bad!

With Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao’s decision passed!

The next day, the seven “renegades” from Komera Yamamoto Studio arrived in China and joined Golden Wind.

Along with the seven joining, Golden Wind made corresponding internal adjustments.

The first was the old project department.

The original project department was officially named [Golden Experience Studio], Golden Wind’s first and core foundational studio, with a total of 16 people.

Jiang Yun served as the studio director, overseeing the entire studio.

As for Yuki and Sato, they were transferred out to form [Steel Chain Fingers Studio] together with the recently joined Seven Renegade Ninjas, which is Golden Wind’s second studio, totaling nine people.

Sato served as the studio director, overseeing the entire studio.

Gu Sheng, Lu Bian, and Xu Dajiang were also transferred out of the project department to become the directors and deputy directors overseeing both studios.

With the official confirmation of this news, the gaming industry buzzed with discussion.

Among them, the happiest was undoubtedly Golden Wind’s best partner, Yiyou’s CEO——

...

“Yan Sheng?!”

In the office, upon hearing Chu Qingzhou’s report, Shen Miaomiao trembled all over, her head throbbing painfully, and her hand unconsciously reached for the water gun in the drawer.

You dare to come here, you jinx?

Has he always been this bold? Does he not know I can fight?

Exactly!

Just as Golden Wind released the news announcing the establishment of “Steel Chain Fingers Studio,”

within two hours, a call came in from Yiyou. Yan Sheng said he would visit Binjiang in the afternoon.

But Shen Miaomiao did not want to see him. She feared she might lose control and kick Yan Sheng away.

“What does he want?”

Shen Miaomiao took a deep breath and patiently asked.

“President Yan only said he wanted to personally congratulate us, nothing else,”

Chu Qingzhou said,

“but judging by this, it’s probably about coordinating on a new project.”

Chu Qingzhou was very clever.

Golden Wind just announced the new studio’s establishment, and Yiyou immediately rushed to visit.

Was that really just to congratulate them?

If congratulations were the only purpose, why couldn’t it be said on the phone?

Was it really necessary to travel all the way from Zhongjing to Binjiang?

“So, I think there’s an eighty to ninety percent chance that President Yan is here to discuss project cooperation,”

Chu Qingzhou said,

“Steel Chain Fingers just started and has no projects yet, so they definitely want to get ahead and occupy one of our dual cores.”

Chu Qingzhou’s reasoning was solid.

Right now!

Golden Wind was a hot commodity!

Especially for various game platforms and motion-sensing pod manufacturers!

Little Yellow’s money-making ability was obvious, and Yiyou and Xunteng had already tasted the benefits.

Now, with the second studio opening, going from single core to dual core,

who wouldn’t want to grab this new thread?

“Hmm...”

Listening to Chu Qingzhou’s analysis, Shen Miaomiao crossed her arms and silently acknowledged how fast this was moving.

Their second line had just opened, and cooperation was already knocking on the door.

It seemed her previous thinking wasn’t wrong.

More manpower would definitely greatly promote the game development speed.

Since this was new project cooperation, no matter how much she didn’t want to see Yan Sheng, she had to.

Because this was related to the big matter of creating new orders herself.

She could endure it—it was just thirteen hundred million, there would be plenty of chances in the future, no need to care...

Bullshit!!!

Originally!

Shen Miaomiao thought she had adjusted her mindset.

But unexpectedly, when Yan Sheng arrived in the afternoon, his first sentence shattered her defenses!

“Hahahahahahaha congratulations! Congratulations, congratulations!”

“The new studio was established, great achievements at GDC, even the veteran company Komera was defeated and utterly broken by you guys. Triple happiness!”

“Joining the Billion Club is just around the corner, truly commendable! Hahahahaha!”

Damn it...

Shen Miaomiao clenched her little fists tightly.

Did he really have to say it?!

Didn’t he realize his flattery hit the wrong spot?

And he even mentioned the Billion Club!

Did he know if it weren’t for his backstabbing, they would have already joined the Billion Club!

Her head buzzed.

Fortunately, Gu Sheng was beside her, stepping forward to shake Yan Sheng’s hand:

“Thanks for President Yan’s good wishes. Steady progress—we hope to join the mid-sized game companies soon.”

“President Gu is young and promising, not rushing for quick success, definitely no problem...”

“Hahaha...”

With that, the group entered the meeting room.

Both sides took their seats; Chu Qingzhou brought in the tea.

After some simple greetings, Gu Sheng spoke:

“We have received President Yan’s congratulations, and on behalf of Golden Wind, we also express our gratitude to Yiyou,”

“We have maintained a close and friendly cooperative relationship,”

“Including this time playing against Komera, Yiyou gave us a surprise by waiving the commission for this game, encouraging and supporting us to the greatest extent,”

“Both Shen and I express our thanks.”

Gu Sheng was truly grateful and felt it was indeed appropriate to thank Yiyou.

This matter was handled very well!

Although he knew that Yiyou’s intention was to further woo them and guard against Xunteng taking advantage to snatch resources.

But in the end, Golden Wind benefited greatly, didn’t they?

From the start of the Escape project announcement to the game’s release,

Yiyou not only helped with publicity but waived their commission, almost like free help.

Logically and emotionally, a thank you was warranted.

At least from Gu Sheng’s perspective.

He did not see the expression on Little Nezha’s face beside him.

At this moment, Shen Miaomiao’s face was green!

How could this endless nonsense continue?!

Shen Miaomiao secretly glared at Gu Sheng with her eyes, full of resentment.

My blood isn’t even cleaned yet, and you’re rubbing salt in the wound!

If you’re grateful, be grateful! Represent the company’s gratitude! Why are you representing me?!

Do I look grateful?

The fact that I haven’t stabbed him to death proves that China’s legal education is quite successful, okay?!

“Hehe,”

Shen Miaomiao forced a smile and quickly changed the topic:

“So... this time President Yan came, it’s not just to congratulate us in person, right?”

If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don’t bring up past matters or I’ll really test the limits of the law.

“Haha, President Shen is always straightforward. I like your character!”

Seeing Shen Miaomiao bring up the subject, Yan Sheng laughed heartily and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

He had been thinking how to lead into the real business, but Little Shen was so direct that he could just go with the flow.

Yan Sheng pondered briefly, then said, “Indeed, I have an ungracious request this time.”

“Please go ahead, President Yan.” Shen Miaomiao relaxed and gestured for him to speak.

“The Mini Game Festival,”

Yan Sheng said,

“This year’s Mini Game Festival, I hope to invite Golden Wind to participate.”

Huh?

At the mention, not just Shen Miaomiao but even Gu Sheng was taken aback.

Mini Game Festival?

In theory, based on Golden Wind’s current fame, the Mini Game Festival should be unrelated to them.

If they wanted to release mini games, they could do so freely without needing the Mini Game Festival hype.

Gu Sheng remembered that last year, it was only after his persistent nagging that Yan Sheng reluctantly arranged a “special invited vendor” title for Overcooked, barely allowing participation, a genuine big bully on little company scenario.

What changed this year?

Yan Sheng actively inviting them?

What kind of show was this?

“Our current situation, is participating in the Mini Game Festival... appropriate?”

This time, Gu Sheng hesitated.

Yan Sheng responded:

“What’s inappropriate? The Mini Game Festival is designed for small and medium-sized companies. Your company... is still a small to medium-sized game company, right?”

Huh?!

Gu Sheng smacked his lips.

Hadn’t he heard this before?

Oh right, last year he said exactly that to Yan Sheng.

Gu Sheng chuckled a bit.

This really is... what goes around comes around.

Seeing Gu Sheng’s amused expression, Yan Sheng laughed heartily as well!

“President Gu, this seems familiar, huh? Hahaha, just joking, don’t mind me,”

Yan Sheng waved his hand and spoke seriously:

“This year marks the tenth anniversary of Yiyou’s Mini Game Development Festival,”

“On this occasion, after internal discussions, we decided to upgrade the Mini Game Festival and create the ‘Mini Game Overseas Expansion Plan.’”

“After selection, the top ten games in the Mini Game Festival will receive support from the overseas expansion plan,”

“At that time, Yiyou will personally design overseas promotion plans for these ten games and cooperate with well-known foreign game platforms to jointly provide broader distribution channels for these overseas mini games.”

“To boast a little...”

“It’s also a small contribution to the budding domestic game industry!”

After speaking, Yan Sheng smiled slightly and nodded.

Hearing this, Gu Sheng was deeply moved.

He suddenly thought of himself three years ago, thought of Golden Wind three years ago.

He knew Yan Sheng was not boasting.

Because all along, Yiyou had been supporting the advancement of the Chinese game industry.

Whether it was the Mini Game Festival, the Rising Star awards, or motion-sensing pods going overseas,

Yiyou had been promoting industry development and progress in its own way.

This was Yan Sheng’s professional integrity as a game developer and his ideal for which he fought.

It could even be said,

Golden Wind maintained such a close relationship with Yiyou largely because Gu Sheng admired Yan Sheng’s attitude toward games and respect for the entire industry.

Now, Yiyou upgraded the Mini Game Festival again to support the budding Chinese game industry.

Personally, Gu Sheng himself had emerged as a “Rising Star” through the Mini Game Festival, and Golden Wind had risen rapidly through this platform.

Business must not forget its roots—that was Uncle Shen’s advice.

Officially, Yiyou stood on industry development and contributed to Chinese game progress, and Golden Wind, as one of the most influential domestic developers, had an obligation to lend a hand and support Yiyou.

Only by progressing together could the market expand—that was also Uncle Shen’s advice.

Both personally and officially, Gu Sheng had no reason to refuse.

So he nodded:

“Perfect timing. Now that Steel Chain Fingers has just been established, I, as director, also need a project to verify their capabilities. Mini games have low investment and quick results, very suitable. President Yan, how do you need us to cooperate?”

Hiss—!!!

Hearing Gu Sheng agree so smoothly, Yan Sheng’s face lit up with joy!

He hurriedly said, “Actually, for a top designer like President Gu, this is not difficult. Just like previous years, launch a medium to small scale game as the flagship game for the overseas expansion plan.”

Yiyou wanted Golden Wind’s reputation as the flagship.

That was it.

Gu Sheng was about to nod when Yan Sheng hesitated, then continued:

“But...”

“But what?” Gu Sheng nodded. “Please go ahead.”

“It’s like this. Alongside the overseas expansion plan, we are also preparing to further develop the mobile game market,”

Yan Sheng said:

“So could we trouble President Gu to produce a cross-platform game playable on both PC and mobile devices?”

“Cross-platform... playable on both ends?”

Gu Sheng’s heart jolted!

Buddha forgive me, Link, but when he mentioned cross-platform, I really couldn’t help but think of that game.

Fortunately!

Seeing Gu Sheng dazed, Yan Sheng quickly added, “Uh... something like Plants vs. Zombies, where you can sync progress between PC and mobile with one account.”

Oh—

“I see... hmm... I think I understand President Yan’s request,”

Gu Sheng relaxed and asked:

“What’s the schedule for this Mini Game Festival?”

“Starting mid-next month, ending at the end of the month, simultaneously launching the Mini Game Overseas Expansion Plan,”

Yan Sheng smiled sheepishly:

“The timing is indeed tight. Originally, I didn’t want to trouble President Gu, since you’re developing Escape from Hell, but now that Steel Chain Fingers is established, I thought...”

“There’s still time,” Gu Sheng waved his hand, signaling Yan Sheng not to worry. “There’s enough time.”

“That’s good, that’s good,”

Yan Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and extended his hand:

“I’ll be waiting for President Gu’s good news.”

Gu Sheng also extended his hand: “Won’t disappoint you, President Yan.”

The two shook hands and exchanged more greetings!

As Yan Sheng was leaving, he suddenly remembered something:

“Oh, right, President Gu, I have a small curious question, don’t mind me.”

Gu Sheng nodded: “Please go ahead, President Yan.”

“Uh...” Yan Sheng hesitated a moment: “About the name of our studio... Steel Chain Fingers? Is there a special meaning behind it?”
