Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

“I have to hide the fact that Boss Pei had designed the skill mechanisms for this hero and treat it as a design from an ordinary gamer.

“The next question to ask would be what kind of outer appearance we should give this hero.
We already have a hero that’s based on Boss Pei.
Obviously, we have to base this character on someone else.

“Who should it be?

“Boss Pei must have someone in mind, but it was probably inconvenient for him to write it

out.”

Min Jingchao seriously considered this question and discovered that this hero could be very complimentary to Modest.
That was because Modest’s second skill could close lanes and knock enemies back, and this knockback had the effect of launching enemies into the air and moving them away.
Theoretically, it could follow up on the new hero’s ult.

In other words, Modest could activate his second skill from the back, thereby closing off lanes and knocking key opponents back.
Then, the new hero would use his ult.

Modest would maximize the absorption of damage, and both Modest and the new hero would deal as much damage as possible on their enemies.

Yes, they would be the perfect match!

Who was Boss Pei’s perfect partner in reality?

Of course, it was Big Boss Ruan Guangjian!

What’s more, the new hero’s abilities matched Big Boss Ruan Guangjian’s characteristics quite well.

The abstract image of an artist would be graceful and elegant.
At the same time—while Ruan Guangjian looked ordinary on the surface, he had actually been deeply influenced by art.
Every move of his carried the aura of an ancient literary genius.

At that thought, Min Jingchao felt inspired.

The new hero would be called: Literary Genius of the Winds, Ruan.
Ruan was an ancient Chinese calligrapher and artist, and his weapon would be a huge paintbrush.

His first skill would be violent scribbling with his paintbrush.
After three uses, he could summon a raging wind with his scribbling, causing all the opponents on the lane to fly into the air.

His second skill would be rapidly drawing a landscape painting of clouds and mist, which could block enemy projectiles.

His third skill would be wind-riding, which would allow him to pass between enemies.
His ult would be creating illusions.
He would create an illusion for all airborne enemies while riding the winds through thousands of miles to get to his target’s side.
Then, he would suppress and deal damage to the target.

After matching the hero’s packaging to his skills, Min Jingchao intently checked everything once through and discovered that everything blended perfectly.

“Could this hero have been custom-made for Big Boss Ruan? Was Boss Pei just embarrassed to make it too obvious?

“Yes, that’s very possible.
After all, Boss Pei had increased the remuneration of outsourcing companies previously just to take care of Big Boss Ruan’s workspace.
He had done all that just to make sure that Big Boss Ruan made it through the initial difficulties after moving to Jingzhou.

“Ah, are all friendships between bosses so hidden?”

Min Jingchao could not help but fantasize about Modest and Ruan fighting side-by-side among all the heroes in the future.

Just thinking about it excited him!

At once, Min Jingchao began tidying up all of the requirements for Ruan’s concept art.
He wanted to send them to Ruan Guangjian as soon as he could.

Since the hero was based on Big Boss Ruan, Big Boss Ruan had to personally design this hero’s outer appearance, of course!

Once the Traveler Bao Xu was released, it would be Literary Genius of the Winds, Ruan’s turn!

Min Jingchao was highly efficient.
In less than two hours, he had completed the list of requirements for Literary Genius of the Winds, Ruan.
He sent the list to Ruan Guangjian immediately.

At Halo Workspace, Ruan Guangjian sipped his coffee and continued doing his work.

All of a sudden, the icon for the chat software flashed in the bottom-right corner of his screen.
A pop-up window also appeared, displaying a document for download: ‘Literary Genius of the Winds, Ruan – List of Requirements.xlsx’

“Eh?”

Ruan Guangjian was stunned.
The next hero design was out so soon?

It was just last Thursday or Friday that he had started work on Traveler Bao Xu.
Now, there was a new hero already?

Ruan Guangjian accepted the download, opened it, and became even more shocked.
The hero’s surname was Ruan, and he enjoyed calligraphy and painting… He began to suspect if the hero was based on him, but then he wrote off the thought for fear that he was being too narcissistic.

At that moment, Min Jingchao sent him a message.

“Big Boss Ruan, that’s right.
Boss Pei designed this hero based on you.
I just added a few more details.
However, Boss Pei seems to want to keep this low-profile.
He doesn’t want anyone to know that he was behind it.
Don’t make it too obvious; just take note of it in your heart.”

Ruan Guangjian was speechless.

I just bumped into Boss Pei when I went to collect coffee earlier.
In other words, just then, Boss Pei had already designed a hero based on me?

Yet, Boss Pei had not mentioned it at all at Fish-Catching Internet Cafe…

Hmm, that fits Boss Pei’s restrained personality well.

Back when Halo Workspace moved to Jingzhou, Boss Pei had also appeared cool on the outside when he was actually warm on the inside.

He had not said much, but he had secretly increased the remuneration for outsourcing companies, thereby helping Halo Workspace to overcome its difficulties.

This time, he was being even more reserved.
Without a single word, he had created a unique hero for the game based on me.
Instinctively, Ruan Guangjian’s mouth spread into a grin.
He replied, “Don’t worry.
I’ll make the concept art look very impressive!”

Min Jingchao said, “Well, for its first skin, design a combined event with Modest.
It’s in both of the heroes’ background stories that they’re good friends, alright?”

Ruan Guangjian smiled knowingly.
“Of course.
I couldn’t ask for anything more.”
