Chapter 169: Chapter 169 – Production Team Leader



A man with a goatee was already waiting for their arrival in that room. When he saw them entering, a smile bloomed on his face.

"Oooh! Hello, Flexy! Hahaha, it\'s been a long time since we met. It seems that you\'re already a big streamer, huh? I still remember our first meeting 2 years ago when we shot your ad together. But look at you now."

"Johnson! Hahaha, that was embarrassing. So it\'s already been two years? And you are promoted from a cameraman to a production team leader, huh? Congratulations."

"I am pretty lucky." The goatee man answered with a chuckle. Then, he turned to Breeze and extended his hand, "Hello, I believe this is our first meeting. Name is Johnson. Feel free to call me Johny if you want to. It\'s nice to meet you."

"Likewise. My name is Breeze. It\'s nice to meet you." He shook Johnson\'s hand with a friendly smile.

"Quite a polite boy, different from those who worked with me lately. Tsk tsk tsk, if only they are just like the two of you…"

Johnson shook his head and clicked his tongue many times.

"They didn\'t even shake my hand just because of my untidy appearance. They don\'t understand art and politeness, that\'s why they aren\'t as successful as you guys."

It seemed like some streamers were rude to him. Max couldn\'t help but doubt what he said. Were streamers really acting rude to other people?

When he remembered it again, there was some news about influencers who tried to get free stuff just because they had many followers, like eating in a restaurant and paying for it by \'posting\' it on their social media.

They also said the restaurant should be grateful because they promoted it if that wasn\'t enough. If that wasn\'t enough, some also acted arrogant just because they were slightly \'famous.\'

Most of them caught a strange illness called star syndrome, which made them forget about common sense. It was a sad sight.

\'Yeah, I can imagine it. That\'s why Director Hugo acted that way when we first met. Though he became more friendly as time passed.\'

After the introduction was over, they sat around a table, and Johnson explained the preparation and how the schedule of the monthly segment.

According to the production team leader, they would invite Evelyn Rees for the monthly segment. The viewers also had positive views of her and liked her presence.

Not only that, but she recently got a boost in popularity thanks to hosting the Knight\'s Journey program, so she was the perfect choice to host the monthly segment.

Both of them had no problem with the host. Rather, Max was relieved that the host was someone he had met before and famous for not digging a streamer\'s secret. Still, this was a podcast, and things would be different, so he wouldn\'t lower his guard.

Also, there was a silver lining in this time\'s monthly segment. It would be held in a VR world.

"We will announce 3 new games that will be released in Q3. Can both of you be the first tester for one of the games?"

"Is it the one that Mr. Taka mentioned before? He said this new game focuses on movement." Max asked curiously.

"So he already told you about it." Johnson nodded, "You\'re right. The marketing team thought it would be best to ask both of you to alpha-test that game. It\'s based on Tag Game IRL and has a lot of customized obstacles."

\'Customized obstacles? That sounds interesting.\' He thought as he listened to Johnson\'s explanation about the test game. \'If the player can create obstacles themselves, this game might be perfect to practice and learn movement.\'

His curiosity peaked. Unfortunately, Johnson didn\'t know the details of the game as he was only responsible for production, like recording and livestreaming. The detail was apparently kept a secret to become a surprise to get their honest reaction.

After the explanation was done, Johnson asked them to visit the VR room prepared for them before 6 PM for rehearsal.

Johnson left afterward, as he had to supervise his team, leaving both Max and Flexy alone in the meeting room.

"What do you think? Will you alpha-test that game?" The orange-haired streamer asked, "To be honest, we aren\'t responsible for it. They probably have recorded gameplay if we refuse to test it."

"I am thinking of accepting it," Max responded immediately, leaning back on the chair.

"Mr. Taka had teased me about this game when he offered me the affiliation contract. And actually, one of the reasons why I decided to sign is because I am interested in this movement game. So, well… I would test it. What about you?"

"Me?" Flexy raised his eyebrows, "If you test it, then I would too. I don\'t want to be left alone, dude."

"Hahaha, you\'re right." He laughed together with his friend.

Then, he rapped his hands against the armrest.

"The fact the players can make an obstacle, and probably the map, is interesting. Is there any game similar to it?"

"There is one." His friend answered, opening a screen. He used the virtual keyboard to type something before sharing the screen with him. "Look at this."

On the screen, a game named \'Tag Map\' was shown. A preview video that showed the game was played as soon as Flexy pressed it.

A familiar place appeared in the video. Max recognized the design. It was similar to the Tag House, where he shot the ad yesterday.

The scene of a man running around the obstacle, jumping over, and creating obstacles appeared on the video. When Max watched it, one thing to describe it flashed in his mind.

"It looks boring." He said.

Flexy, who heard that, burst into laughter.

"Right?! Just being alone in that space looks boring. The obstacle creation is also not that creative. We can create one in our own Lobby, just like what you did." The orange-haired streamer explained, "Still, there is a silver lining. This game is perfect for professional athletes to train. But, I won\'t call it popular."

"I see…" Max muttered. He realized why Flexy looked a bit adamant when he heard about Biozone Entertainment\'s new game. "Do you think the new game will fail?"

Smiling gently, the energetic guy only looked at him without saying anything.

\'Silent, huh? He doesn\'t want to say anything about this game.\'

Just as he said, they could do it in a Lobby if it was just an obstacle-making game. They could also train in it without buying a new game. Biozone Entertainment surely also noticed it. But why would they publish such a game? It was too risky.

\'It\'s no use thinking about it. I am neither a marketing specialist nor someone who can guess a trend. I am only a player, a gamer, and a streamer. My job is to have fun without thinking about something complicated.\'

Max looked at the ceiling and heaved a sigh.

\'If this game is good, I will play it. It\'s that simple. Maybe that\'s what Flexy tried to tell me. Damn, this guy loves to play around and see people suffer for his amusement.\'
