Reborn to create a virtual world

Ye Jiantong divided the breakfast between those who hadn't slept and those who had already woken up, then sat down next to Bai Chiwen and said, "Are you guys staying up late?"

The tone was unusually familiar.

Bai Chiwen replied with a sleepwalking expression: "I haven't slept all night, I think BOSS should give us a raise... It's too oppressive."

Then he put the spoon up his nose.

Lin Shu had black lines on his face.

Did he forget that his boss was also sitting next to him, and accompanied him to work overtime all night?

Bai Chiwen lacked sleep and his IQ dropped, but Ye Jiantong was still awake, and turned to look at Lin Shu.Lin Shu pretended not to hear anything, and put a spoonful of preserved egg and lean meat porridge into his mouth.

Well... it is fragrant and thick, salty and delicious, it is indeed a strong recommendation for foodies.

After eating this impromptu meal, whether it was breakfast or dinner, Lin Shu also went back to the small bedroom next to his office and curled up to sleep.It can be seen how conscious he is as a programmer, and he has set up a resting place in his office early in the morning.

While sleeping hazily, Lin Shu felt that there seemed to be some obstacle next to him. He wanted to push it away, but he couldn't. Finally, when he opened his eyes, he saw the faint golden sunlight leaking in through the gap in the curtain. Ju Mingfeng had a grinning face.

Lin Shu opened his eyes blankly, looked at Ju Mingfeng for a few seconds, then suddenly buried his head in Ju Mingfeng's arms, moved his whole body towards Ju Mingfeng, and then continued to sink into it. Dreamland.

At that moment, Ju Mingfeng felt his heart tremble.

He couldn't restrain the sweet smile that overflowed, stretched out his arms to embrace the sleeping Lin Shu, and hugged him again.

It was already afternoon when Lin Shu woke up.He changed his clothes and went downstairs, and found that the internal testing had been going on for a morning, and there were many bugs detected, but nothing serious, and someone was solving them step by step.

Ju Mingfeng dragged him out to eat.

Lin Shu was hungry all the time anyway, so he didn't reject his proposal.When he went out, he happened to miss a message about him that was circulating in the company.

He stayed up all night to solve the problem that most of the technical department had been busy all night.Although Bai Chiwen and other people's work achievements were also included, they still attributed the main credit to Lin Shu.This kind of attitude will inevitably give people an illusion that Lin Shu's ability is extraordinary, far surpassing Bai Chiwen and others.

So gradually, a rumor spread in the company that Lin Shu is actually a genius in computer technology like the legendary hacker Mitnick.

This rumor is becoming more and more exaggerated, because Lin Shu is younger than when Mitnick invaded the US air defense, and some of the technical content now is more complicated and advanced than it was decades ago.

A few days later, Lin Shu also heard about these rumors, but he didn't care.In fact, Mitnick was able to invade the US air defense decades ago, which is naturally very remarkable.However, the security technology used by the U.S. air defense back then is actually not worth mentioning now.

Some of the technologies he has mastered today are naturally ahead of everyone else.Even more than ten years later, it is still at the top level, but if you go beyond that era, slowly, these are the techniques that ordinary technicians can learn.

From this perspective, the most amazing genius is actually only time.The so-called "genius" of ordinary people, in addition to the difference in learning ability, is actually more of a gap in the information they are exposed to.

After solving the problem of the mistracking of the character serial number data, there were no major problems in the test.At this time, the arrangement of the internal test is roughly like this-the test department recruited some testers, but all the personnel from the technical department and the planning department who participated in related projects also joined the test team, and made adjustments while testing.

Lin Shu himself is one of them.

Ju Mingfeng is not interested in the tedious job of being a code farmer, but he does not reject such a fun job as testing games, so he happily joined the ranks of testers.

The testing of "Demon Realm" was mainly to test some basic functions and the performance of AI in the game in the early stage.After Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng had dinner, they returned to the company, found two free test computers, opened the program and started to play.

The icon of Xingzhe was displayed first, and then the icon was shattered and transformed into a bright galaxy, with a few more conspicuous stars dotted in it, serving as the server's icon.

There are four conspicuous stars, representing the initial four game worlds. Of course, only one can be clicked at this time, because Xingzhe only opened that server for the time being.

Lin Shu clicked on "Magic Domain".

The planet quickly zoomed in, and then burst into a vibrant animation on the screen.The young man in the white riding suit descended from the sky, and the girl in the pink and green petticoat took a bite of an apple, and then the chipped apple fell from her hand, rolling all the way, passing through the busy stalls and crowded shopping streets, and stopped at The girl at the door of the shop, the boy holding a basket of exquisite snacks... rolled all the way to the feet of a woman in a long black and red dress, and was picked up by her.

The black nails were reflected on the red notched apple, and finally a banner title and a loading interface - "Evil Realm" were pulled out.

This animation is very short, but extremely beautiful, and full of fairy tale atmosphere.In terms of character design, it maintains the consistent style of the future platform - realistic, natural, and textured.

In particular, the floating scene of Lolita's dress is so realistic and vivid that people are amazed. This picture alone can stand out among many popular games at present.

Then comes the character creation interface.

After Ju Mingfeng reached out and clicked on the "male" option, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked Lin Shu, "By the way, does this game have a marriage system?"

Lin Shu was stunned for a moment before replying, "Not yet."

When Ju Mingfeng heard the word "temporarily", he asked again: "It means not for now, but will there be in the future?"

Lin Shu felt that he had guessed why he asked this question, but he still answered honestly: "Maybe there is or may not be. Generally speaking, it depends on the future development. Sometimes the setting is not necessarily the more the better. Each setting It must allow players to have fun in order to have the value of existence.”

"For now, I think the marriage system is of limited use in online games."

Ju Mingfeng thought for a while, and then asked: "Then, if it comes out later, how do you plan to set it up? Is it set to be of the opposite sex to get married, or can the same sex be allowed?"

Lin Shu said: "...[-]% will not restrict gender. Although it may be difficult to judge, but I will try my best to fight for it. I have no reason to stand against myself, right?"

Hearing what he said, Ju Mingfeng was immediately relieved, and continued to build characters.

Lin Shu glanced at his profile, and uttered the last sentence in his heart—…and he didn't want to build a female account at all, and he didn't want to see Ju Mingfeng throwing a loli in a tutu into his arms , Nasty call him "Elder-in-law~~".

Don't doubt, Ju Mingfeng can really do this.His integrity is no more abundant than those male gods (mentally ill) on the Internet.

After that, the two manipulated their respective characters into the game. "Evil Realm" itself is a business-oriented and fantasy-style game in the four initial backgrounds. It also follows this model in terms of occupations, which are divided into life occupations and combat occupations.

What needs to be mentioned is that the other three backgrounds are all based on combat occupations, supplemented by life occupations, but only "Evil World" is the opposite situation, with life occupations as the main background and combat occupations as a supplement.

Lin Shu chose a chef as a life profession, which is quick to learn, easy to operate, and easy to make money in the early stage in "Evil World"; the combat profession is a mage, which is a powerful, costly, and strategic profession.

Lin Shu did not skip the operation guide, as long as she wanted to see if there was anything missing in the novice tutorial, but after reading it, she felt that the planning team did a good job in this point, and there was nothing special to add.

After entering the game, he completed the basic guidance, and then tried to interact with an NPC. "Magic Domain" incorporates artificial intelligence and voice recognition technology, so when you click on an NPC during a conversation, a chat box similar to a chat software will appear, with a small speaker on the right, players can choose voice input or text input through the chat box and speaker, Of course, you can also directly select the preset content on the left side of the upper part of the screen to interact.

The preset dialogue options appear randomly, and they are all pleasant conversations, including ordinary greetings, talking about the weather, city trends, the other party's recent situation, and so on.Players can learn information through these conversations, obtain information about NPCs, and even have a certain chance to brush NPC favorability through specific topics.

Once you know what topics can increase your favorability, you can come to the conversation regularly.It doesn't matter even if you don't randomly find a relevant topic, as long as you manually enter the topic, it can automatically trigger the topic.However, there is a cooling time for increasing the favorability of the same topic, and the favorability can only be swiped once within a certain period of time.

Other interaction options, by contrast, are less of a hassle.

Compared with dialogue, interactions such as doing tasks and giving gifts are obviously more suitable for brushing NPC favorability. There are tens of thousands of NPCs in "Demon Realm", almost every one of them has daily tasks, repeated tasks, plot tasks and favorite gift lists to brush favorability, and the specific value of the increase is much more powerful than using dialogue to brush.

It's a pity that Lin Shu is still at the pitiful first level in terms of life skills and combat skills, and he has no ability to be a character.

"Hi." He could only simply greet the other party, and then said, "Sir, I'm new here. Can you tell me how to get to Sweetheart Restaurant?"

But Shen Yun, the shop owner wearing a cowboy hat, looked at the screen vividly before replying, "New here? It's rare to see newcomers recently. Welcome to Mulan City."

He took off his hat and bowed to the screen.

"Give me your map, and I'll mark it for you." He said, and then a blue dot representing Sweetheart Restaurant appeared on Lin Shu's map, "Welcome to my store to buy fruits and vegetables in the future."

Although it was only a few short conversations, the tone of voice was natural and smooth, and the responses were precise and clear, basically no different from real people.

Lin Shu thought for a while, then tried to speak again: "But sir... I don't really understand maps."

After hearing this, the uncle named Ai Boer replied: "Don't understand? Then open the map first."

Lin Shu paused for a few seconds and did not open it.As a result, three seconds later, Aibol urged: "Hello? Did you hear me? Open the map."

Lin Shu reached out and clicked on the map.

Then a pen appeared on the map, pointing to the point where the player is currently - "Do you see this arrow? This is where you are currently."

Then the pen pointed to the blue dot representing the destination, "This is where the sweetheart restaurant is located."

"Go straight along this road and turn left when you see the fountain. The sign of Sweetheart Restaurant looks like this..." A picture of the building of Sweetheart Restaurant appeared on the map, "Just go in."

Really detailed directions.

After Lin Shu turned off the map, Aibol asked, "Is there anything else?"

Lin Shu hesitated for a moment, then said: "No more. Thank you, uncle, I will send you delicious food next time."

Ai Boer scratched his head and said, "Don't call me uncle. Don't look at me like this, I'm still very young, call me Big Brother Ai Boer."

It's really close to a real person's reaction.Lin Shu couldn't help admiring the plot setting and text writing of the planning team.He bid farewell to Ebol, and after a few steps, he found another NPC to interact with. During the interaction, due to the personality setting, the characters reacted differently, but they were still lively and flexible.

The AI ​​intelligence of the online game version, through various details, seems to be better than the stand-alone version.The more vivid and detailed 3D performance also makes the characters more real and vivid.

Lin Shu thought it would work.

After testing the performance of a few NPCs, he didn't continue to test - anyway, he is not in the testing department, and he is not responsible for this kind of work.

Following the basic instructions, Lin Shu found the location of the main task along the way, and then began to look for the task object to deliver the task.

In the setting of Moyu, the player starts as a teenager who came to Mulan City for the first time to make a living.They start out with a letter of introduction for delivery to one of the five newbie shops in town.After delivering the letter, they will get the identity card provided by Mulan City, a job, and a room where they can live temporarily.

Next, players have to work hard to get promoted and make money to gain a firm foothold in Mulan City.For example, Lin Shu chose to be a chef at the beginning, and he would get a job at a sweetheart restaurant. He had to plant, buy, or hunt out of the city to obtain various ingredients and work in the restaurant to earn money.

"Demon Realm" is different from the other three versions. It does not focus on combat itself, so you can go to the mercenary guild to hire various combat NPCs, hire them to go out of the city to hunt, collect various materials, or escort players to explore the maze.In terms of settings, the efficiency and harvest of players' personal collection will be better.

But in addition, players have to work in the shop.All the daily tasks of Moyu can be completed in the store. The store will refresh customers regularly. Complete the customer's order to get a certain amount of money. One of the daily tasks is to complete a certain amount of orders every day, and then you can get the day's salary.

In addition, there are other daily tasks, such as obtaining a certain number of S-level evaluations, such as earning a certain amount of money, and such as how many life occupation experience points.

And the process of part-time work is not very boring.The cooking profession has a complete production process, including cutting vegetables, cooking, and seasoning.Every incoming guest has a different taste. Players can follow the recipe completely during the process of completing the work, or make adjustments by themselves, and even increase or decrease the ingredients.These behaviors may increase the evaluation, or may reduce the evaluation, and players need to explore by themselves to master it slowly.

If you are a tailor working in a clothing store, you will be choosing and making clothes for customers. Customers will have their favorite styles and color preferences, which are also things that players need to pay attention to.

In addition, players can also develop and improve new recipes by themselves.During the game, players will slowly collect a variety of different ingredients, and the more ingredients they collect, the more combinations they can match, and the more products they can provide to customers during part-time jobs.

Of course, so far, all the life skills of the four game backgrounds can do things.

Then what needs to be mentioned is the game behavior that only the background of "Evil Realm" can perform-open a shop, buy various production real estate, hire employees, and build homes.

Similar settings have appeared in stand-alone games on the future platform, but online games have improved and upgraded the design in this regard.This comes with the main system, but only in the version of "Magic Domain" does the corresponding resource setting exist.

In order to distinguish several versions, in addition to the plot and scene style, the planners also distinguished several versions in the design of game functions. Each version has its own unique gameplay, and the business industry is exclusive to the version of "Magic Domain". play.

Lin Shu himself doesn't particularly like management and development games, but he can play them.In his opinion, the design of "Magic Domain" in this aspect is still very interesting, but I don't know if it is interesting enough to actually play.

At present, there are very few online games developed by the main business in China. For Xingze, this is also a quite bold attempt.In order to enhance the interest in this aspect, Lin Shu also specially set up a special interactive project, which is "banquet".

This "banquet" is not the kind of banquet that has almost no practical effect in traditional online games. For the banquet in "Magic Domain", after the player selects the venue, they can use various furniture and disposable props to decorate independently. Every food and drink at the banquet must be prepared in advance, and various activities can also be arranged.

——This is also the reason why Lin Shu thinks that they no longer need the project of getting married...because players can arrange this kind of event by themselves.

However, what the actual effect is, needs to be evaluated by players after the official opening.

Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng had been playing games in the afternoon.After playing with management for a long time, Ju Mingfeng went around the field and found that most of the monsters couldn't help fighting, so he thought of exploring areas with higher risks.

To be honest, the combat system of "Demon Realm" is actually the same as other versions, but the monsters are set to be relatively weak. Even without mercenaries, it is easy for players to leapfrog to fight monsters.With mercenaries, there is no pressure to single out the boss of the same level dungeon.

When it comes to combat, Zombie is an unsocial game.

But it can cooperate to open a store, rent together, hire each other, date, and conduct various double-player competitions... There are not too many non-combat social activities.

Ju Mingfeng wanted to try these functions... Unfortunately, he had no money in the early stage of testing.

Neither did Lin Shu.

He complained to Lin Shu: "Is there no cheating device?"

Lin Shu replied: "Yes, but I won't prescribe it for you. Let's test it honestly."

……mean.Ju Mingfeng slandered, and then continued to collect materials honestly.

The setting of "Magic Domain" is still very interesting.After a few days, the second version was also completed, which is "Xianyin" with the background of Xianxia.The selling points of this version of the game should be "Fairy Fighting" and "Flying to the Sky".In addition, the selling points of "Stars" with a sci-fi background should be "Mecha Starship Battle" and "Interstellar Vehicles".

In actual installation, the online game full name "Infinite Time and Space", the installation package is divided into two parts, one is the system installation package, which is the main game content; the other is the world information package, each background has an independent data package, players can choose to install it.

And in the subject's system data, AI personality data accounted for most of the content.This part has more than 30 G of content.

Lin Shu also joked: "Our game should be the online game with the largest data packet so far, right?"

But Ju Mingfeng said, "Why don't you say that our game is definitely the most fun game in the world right now?"

Lin Shu thought for a while, considering whether to be humble.But after thinking about it, he realized that he, like Ju Mingfeng, felt that what they were making was the best game in the world, so he decided not to be hypocritical, and said, "Okay, the biggest data package, the best game. This I still have confidence."

After all the versions are completed, it is almost close to the start of school.When Lin Shu and others went to the orphanage for the last time, they prepared carefully.

Ye Qingdie went to the furniture store with Lin Shu, bought a children's bookcase, and then went to the bookstore to choose a lot of books for children.

Lin Shu said, "Let's focus on storybooks... buy some literacy cards and English cards. Add a set of "One Hundred Thousand Whys"."

Ye Qingdie scanned all the books in this area, and then saw several stacks of tracing red books, so she asked Lin Shu, "What about this one? Do you want to buy it?"

Lin Shu took a look and made a decision in a second: "Take two copies of each."

In addition to these, Lin Shu also took some preschool education DVDs.He didn't buy building blocks, because the orphanage didn't lack them.But he bought some playdough and colored paper at the stationery store—the kids would love these.

After buying these, Ye Qingdie took a look at the small book and said, "Everything should be ready... Do you want to buy anything else?"

Lin Shu thought for a while and said, "This is the last time... let's go buy a good hearing aid for your big friend."
