Lin Wan couldn't understand, which was normal, because before, when she was at Tianhuo Studio, the project she worked on was *Bullet Marks*. After arriving at Tenda, she participated in the production of *Sea Fortress* and *Game Producer*, and all of these were PC games.

*Battle Song of Hot Blood* is a web game, which can be seen as a completely different species from the above games.

Web games have a unique design philosophy and ideas, and various mature system gameplay are rare in PC games.

Lin Wan has not only never participated in the research and development of web games, but has not even played web games, and is not interested in them at all.

And when Ye Zhizhou and others have meetings, they use some common terms in web game development, mixed with some English abbreviations. When describing gameplay, there are many colloquial and internal abbreviations for the gameplay.

As a result, even though everyone is communicating in Chinese, Lin Wan can only understand 30% to 40%.

In a word, she knows every word clearly, but when they are put together, she can't understand what it means at all...

Lin Wan could only silently take notes, neither nodding nor asking questions.

She didn't nod because she really didn't understand and didn't want to pretend to understand. She didn't ask questions because she was worried about exposing her ignorance and embarrassing Tenda and President Pei.

Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin would secretly look at Lin Wan's expression after each section they explained.

They saw Lin Wan with a solemn expression, constantly writing and drawing in her notebook, her expression inscrutable, and they didn't know what she was thinking.

Although she looked very young, everyone didn't dare to underestimate her, because they all knew that President Pei's employment was always unconventional.

Those who can be valued by President Pei either have real talent and practical learning, or have deep potential to be tapped. In either case, they must never be offended.

Ye Zhizhou would pause slightly after each section, wanting to give Lin Wan some time so she could express her opinions.

Although President Pei didn't change this design draft at all, who knows if this development director might have some brilliant ideas?

However, Lin Wan just silently took notes and didn't say a word.

Ye Zhizhou even began to doubt himself.

Why didn't President Pei and this director have any revisions?

Is the design draft I wrote really that perfect?

Impossible, right?

Or am I underestimating myself too much?

...

Finally, the design draft was all explained. Ye Zhizhou briefly explained the construction period, the approximate amount of art resources this time, and the budget required to purchase various resources, which was just over two million.

Then, Ye Zhizhou looked at Lin Wan.

This director should say something this time, right?

Otherwise, what are you here for?

Feeling everyone's fiery gaze on her, Lin Wan also panicked a little.

What should I do? I basically didn't understand what they said for so long!

Even if I understood a part of it, I definitely can't bring it up for discussion, because what I understood is obviously very basic. Wouldn't it be exposing my ignorance if I brought it up?

Fortunately, Lin Wan remained calm in the face of danger and successfully grasped a place where President Pei would definitely be dissatisfied.

"The other problems are not big."

"It's just this budget... according to my understanding of President Pei, it definitely won't work."

Ye Zhizhou was a little nervous. As expected, the budget still couldn't pass in the end!

A budget of two million is a bit too much for web games.

In the web game model, the R&D funding only accounts for a very small part, and most of the other money is used for marketing, such as buying click ads on web pages, paying celebrities, and so on.

This is determined by the characteristics of the target group that web games are targeting.

Web games mainly target office workers and local tyrant bosses. These people don't have high requirements for game graphics, and many of them secretly play during working hours. They don't want to bother with operations or use their brains.

They just want to spend money and click the mouse to slash people.

And these people often have strong spending power, so saving the R&D money and spending it on promotion can maximize the game's benefits.

But when Ye Zhizhou was making the budget, he was unwilling to do it in the traditional way.

It was not easy for President Pei to finalize it, and this time the game name is "Power Enhanced Version." He can't make the graphics the same level as ordinary web games, right?

Art resources must be high-definition, and various gameplay must be optimized to perfection.

Adding this and that, it added up to more than two million. Ye Zhizhou had specifically discussed it with Wang Xiaobin and was very satisfied with this budget.

However, it's still exceeded?

Ye Zhizhou looked at Lin Wan nervously, thinking, at most, cut off three or four hundred thousand, and he can't cut off any more!

Lin Wan continued, "I think... I'm afraid it will take at least four million for President Pei to approve this project."

"Forget it, you should just add it to five million, so you don't have to bother a second time when President Pei sends it back."

Each time the budget is overturned, all the art resource lists, various plans, and the artists and programmers contacted on the resource website must be replaced.

If it is increased from two million to three or four million, doubling it all at once, these plans basically have to be redone. After all, the changes are too big, and it can't be done by simply changing a few artists.

So Lin Wan very thoughtfully helped them raise the budget directly, so as to save them from having their hard-earned budget sheet sent back by President Pei and redone.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Ye Zhizhou almost thought he had heard wrong.

Two million is too little? Add it to five million?

Directly super doubling it, is that okay?

But looking at Lin Wan's serious expression, she was definitely not joking, but was giving a very serious warning.

Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin looked at each other and hesitated, "Five million? Isn't that a bit too much..."

"Actually, we don't need that much money. Two million is enough, really enough."

Lin Wan shook her head: "It's enough for you, but far from enough for President Pei. You don't know how meticulous President Pei is about these details. Listen to me, just add it to five million."

Looking at Ye Zhizhou, who was dumbfounded and lowered his head to revise the form, Lin Wan couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"I finally understand why President Pei sent me here!"

"In addition to learning about the design knowledge of other types of games here, there is also a very important point, which is to convey the Tenda spirit!"

"Ye Zhizhou's cautious and budget-making appearance is really like the former Lü Mingliang."

"President Pei is busy with work and can't be everywhere, so it's just right to send me here, on the one hand to give me an opportunity to exercise, and on the other hand to correct these people's bad habits!"

"So, I should guide them more in spirit, so that they can strive to keep up with Tenda's pace."

"President Pei didn't lie to me, this is really a very important job!"

Ye Zhizhou quickly went through the budget, his brows furrowed.

"But... if the budget is really increased to five million, we will encounter a new problem."

"We are just a web game, even if all the resources are replaced with high-definition versions, and a few excellent original artists are hired to do concept design, I am afraid that this money will still not be spent..."

"Moreover, we are now using the official platform's 2D engine, which will not support these high-definition resources very well, and the effect may not be particularly obvious at that time."

"In short... the cost performance will be very poor."

Lin Wan thought for a while: "Then change the engine, just use 3D directly."

Ye Zhizhou was speechless for a moment: "Use 3D... then we can't make a web game. The amount of art resources that need to be transmitted is too large, and the current network speed is too slow to load."

The web game model is to play as soon as it is opened, and all art resources are transmitted in real time.

Limited by the network speed, the resources cannot be made too large, otherwise the transmission will be very slow. The player has already walked to the next scene, but the resources of this scene have not been loaded yet, wouldn't that be very embarrassing.

When Lin Wan played *Battle Song of Hot Blood*, she could see "resource loading" every time she went to a new scene, because of this.

After discussing and discussing, the problem was still not solved.

Lin Wan was very clear that a mere budget of two million would definitely not meet President Pei's requirements, but limited by the web game model, increasing the budget to five million would not significantly improve the graphics.

Unless it is no longer a web game, but a PC game, so that players can download all the resources to their computers.

But in this way...

The game type has changed, wouldn't it be completely unrecognizable, a pile of scattered pieces?

Wang Xiaobin coughed twice: "Ahem, I think, if we must use high-definition resources to make a 3D version, we can try to make a micro-client."

"That is, a mini client."

"Compared to PC games, players need to download fewer resources, and the configuration requirements for the computer will not be very high; and compared to web games, the graphics can be significantly improved."

"Of course, it is also possible that it will not please both sides, and the risk is very high."
