To ascend, I had no choice but to create games

Chapter 358: Chapter 222: Conceptual Mech (Second Update)_2

Having realized there wasn’t much to do, he simply walked up behind Lin Nan and began peering over his shoulder at Lin Nan’s computer screen.

Already socially anxious, Lin Nan felt the hair on his scalp stand on end under the other’s gaze. He couldn’t help but turn around and say fearfully, “What… are you looking at my computer for? There’s no ‘large-scale’ content on my company computer.”

“I’m waiting for your computer to malfunction.”

“…Why are you so malicious!”

“I’m in operations, if I sold umbrellas, I’d also wish for it to rain every day.”

“Monkey, control your brother!”

After being dragged away, Mysterious Mirror still couldn’t understand why he was being expelled.

Being afraid that others’ computers might run into trouble, so you watch over them, what’s wrong with that?

Mysterious Mirror felt as if the morning had dragged on for an eternity, unable to find anything productive to do.

After lunch, Monkey noticed that his buddy had been deflated and was lying there listlessly.

Seeing how bored he was, Monkey kindly suggested, “Why don’t you go downstairs for a spin? The Kirin Industry on the first floor has a share in our studio. I heard they curse their machines every day; maybe you can be of some help.”

“But I feel like I can realize my worth better here,” Mysterious Mirror said, feeling wronged.

“You’d better go downstairs. If you keep being this bored, I’m worried you might get a bad idea and cut the network cables.”

“I could cut the network cables!”

“Go downstairs!”

Mysterious Mirror could only resign himself to heading to the first floor, where he soon found it to be much livelier than on the third.

Everyone on the third floor competed against the clock, not wanting to waste a single second, fearing they wouldn’t be able to work.

Each person was quiet and restrained, but it was said that after work, they would still get together to play. Currently, everyone was thinking about how to get Fang Cheng on board so that they could all have fun together.

Although it was his first day at work, Mysterious Mirror felt that something about this place was off.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The first floor was completely different.

In the office on the first floor, more than three hundred engineers racked their brains on how to make further improvements to their machines.

Standing at the entrance, just as Mysterious Mirror was about to walk in, he was stopped by the security guard at the door.

After explaining he was from the third floor’s operations, the burly security guard’s expression suddenly softened, which showed that Gao Tianyun must have given instructions beforehand – anyone from upstairs should be let in directly.

However, the guard still made Mysterious Mirror tidy up his clothes, wearing a lab coat, hairnet, and face mask, and instructed him that certain areas required absolute silence. Even speaking loudly could disrupt experimental data.

Beyond this, he was given a complete set of anti-static gear, ranging from anti-static gloves to anti-static wristbands, all types of gear were available.

Finally ready, Mysterious Mirror made his way inside and discovered that this area was divided into multiple sections.

The Rong City branch of Kirin Industry mainly handled software development and hardware testing. Hardware developed elsewhere would be brought here for testing and would only proceed to production if it passed.

Tests included but were not limited to impact resistance and machine performance. In some areas, one could see machinery being repeatedly dropped or subjected to simulated human impact to test their pressure resistance.

Looking at each testing procedure, Mysterious Mirror subconsciously said, “Seems unnecessarily complicated.”

“It’s very necessary.”

A man with a square face came over and spoke earnestly, “Impact resistance is an essential test, and it’s one of the most fundamental. We have to ensure that our machines have enough pressure resistance to be transported elsewhere. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself – Gao Tianyun, the boss of Kirin Industry. You’re the new guy from Fang Cheng Studio, right? What’s your name?”

“Mysterious Mirror.”

Upon hearing “Kirin Industry,” Mysterious Mirror thought it sounded a lot like “Artifact Spirit” and felt as if there was some fateful connection, which made him feel more fondly towards Gao Tianyun.

Gao Tianyun also felt that Mysterious Mirror, who seemed more transparent than human, almost machine-like, deserved more goodwill.

After checking Mysterious Mirror’s outfit, Gao Tianyun excitedly led him around, introducing the various aspects of the place.

When Mysterious Mirror knew they could make machines capable of running games, his eyes sparkled with excitement as he surveyed every process.

However, he soon pointed at an all-in-one PC ready for testing and said, “That machine seems to have a problem.”

“What’s wrong with it?”

“It’s not very confident.”

The strange remark made Gao Tianyun look at Mysterious Mirror with curiosity until the all-in-one PC underwent a stress test.

Initially, everything was fine, but a few minutes in, as the load increased, the all-in-one emitted a groan as if it couldn’t bear the burden, followed by a crisp snap, it ultimately ceased to function.

After testing, the engineer calmly stated, “Battery issue, next one.”

It’s common to encounter problems, but spotting them before the experiment is extraordinary.

Gao Tianyun looked at Mysterious Mirror with curiosity, “How did you know it was lacking in confidence?”

“It told me so. From the moment it entered the testing environment, it kept mumbling about not being good enough, not being able to take it, that it couldn’t breathe. And then, it died.”

Mysterious Mirror’s description excited Gao Tianyun even more.

He knew that some people, after conducting so many tests, would develop an intuition, sensing which machines had issues without even needing to test them.

He had seen one or two such talents before, but unfortunately, they were not from his factory, and they were quite old already.
