Ju Mingfeng said it lightly, but Lin Shu couldn't take what he said lightly.

He silently covered his face, his eye circles were a little red, but his heart was getting heavier and heavier.Lin Shu was silent for a long time, feeling that the cruelest thing the world had done to him was actually not the hardships he encountered while growing up...but that God refused to make him fall in love with Ju Mingfeng.

He can be very nice to Ju Mingfeng, he can be close to him, and he hopes that Ju Mingfeng will be happy... Only Lin Shu can give Ju Mingfeng happiness, but Lin Shu just can't give the most perfect one. "happiness".

There is a pang of pathos about this fact.

Ju Mingfeng let Lin Shu know what love is, but Lin Shu couldn't repay the other party with an equally complete relationship.How good would it be if the feelings for a person could be determined by the subjective consciousness?If that's the case, Lin Shu will definitely decide to love Ju Mingfeng without hesitation, for the rest of his life...for the rest of his life.

But now, in his relationship, there is still one of the most important fragments missing.

This fragment is called heartbeat.

He didn't know if a moment of heartbeat was necessary in love.But such incompleteness always made Lin Shu feel a little guilty.

Then Lin Shu heard Ju Mingfeng ask: "What about you... how does it feel to you to go back in time?"

Lin Shu paused for a long time before saying, "Like a miracle."

A person who has never lost his parents will never understand what it is like to lose a mother when a teenager, or a father when a young man loses his father.In the movie "August Run", the black people in the church sang such a song called "Raise It Up" ("Raise It to Grow"), and one of the lyrics is like this.

"They keep telling me I don't need that man yet they don't understand/There's so much pain and stress and poverty I have to face alone/Because I have no one to turn to..."

It was a feeling of the world suddenly falling apart.Sometimes, pain or stress or poverty is not terrible, what is terrible is the feeling that the whole world has no fulcrum for you.

Liang Yuehua's death was too hasty, so she didn't have time to realize the fate her death might bring to Lin Shu.Lin Jinhua's death was a result of his own choice. He took his own pain and fear too seriously, far overshadowing his sympathy for Lin Shu.

But it took Lin Shu many years to find that fulcrum again, and even at the last moment he was not quite sure whether he had found that fulcrum.At one time, Lin Shu was actually very eager to get married and have children, because his desire for a family was engraved in his bones, and he shouted loudly all the time, hoping to rebuild everything he had lost and rebuild a perfect fulcrum.

That impulse is not suppressed by reason.Reason cannot suppress the true longing in one's heart, nor the original impulse from the deepest part of the soul.

It was Lin Shu's affection for Ju Mingfeng that suppressed this delusion.Lin Shu has always maintained a love for Ju Mingfeng that has nothing to do with lust. This love makes him rather endure such emptiness than hurt Ju Mingfeng.

When Ju Mingfeng rang his doorbell again, Lin Shu knew that he had no other way to go in his life.But that was just a little regret, not pain, nor unwillingness.Rather, there is a sense of peace of mind that I am finally home.

Then he realized that at some point, Ju Mingfeng had become his new fulcrum.

Lin Shu said it was like a miracle, that was his sincere words.This miracle is not because of the rewinding of time, but only because the mother died and came back to life.Time heals all scars, but the loss is still real, affecting every minute of your life many years later.

So fate gave him such a chance to redeem, and he was grateful.

Since the establishment of the future platform, the popularity has been rising every day, and the number of registered users has surged.However, the previous upward trend has been slow and steady until the second half of August, when the news that the novel changed the game was confirmed, many authors followed the official requirements and made simple publicity for the adapted game in their columns.

This incident caused an instant surge in the flow of people pouring into the platform.Since the establishment of Future Games, the mainstream user base has basically been some game enthusiasts, but most of this batch of influxes are mostly not, but just ordinary readers who are purely amwayed by the original game adaptation.

This group of people are almost all rookies.

But there are benefits to not playing much of the game.The advantage of newcomers is that they are full of novelty in everything, they have much more patience for plots than veterans, and the joy of playing a good game is much greater than veterans.Of course, it is not without weaknesses, that is, the difficulty of the game they can accept is lower, and many times they need in-depth game guidance in order to play smoothly.

For this reason, Lin Shu specially reminded Du Sitong that during this period of time, a novice area was specially opened, and he began to recommend some pre-determined combination module configurations.For example, a modern background, mixed with popular characters from three to four novels, has its own mood tree and a game combination configuration that simply develops a business model.

The popular characters in the novel will create a sense of intimacy for the batch of readers pouring in from the original novel website. The cultivation and business model is suitable for most girls who do not like fighting, and the core content of the mood tree system can combine games and games on the platform. Different from other games, the semi-intelligent design makes it easier for many players to get emotionally attached to Two-dimensional characters. As for other complicated modules, Lin Shu asked Jinghe to uninstall them all to avoid confusion for novices.And if new players want to try out more game functions in more depth, they can find the mod list to purchase and load by themselves.

In this way, until the last day of August, the number of registered users of the future platform has reached 79, and the total number of downloads and mod purchases has reached [-]. On average, a registered user has purchased nearly eight mods—although there are many of them. Some of them may be just a few dollars for character design, or general commercial materials, but when these consumptions are aggregated, the benefits will be very great.

Among these revenues, for any modules created by the engine system, the official platform charges 40% of the platform commission, which is slightly lower than most current original literature platforms, and only cooperates with Jinjiang Literature The city is quite.However, if the material is completely original, only 5.00% transaction tax will be collected.

The popularity of the platform has attracted many material creators and game makers.In the past few months, through Bai Miao's unremitting efforts and persuasion, the number of registrar and illustrators on the platform has finally increased to more than 80.These illustrators have signed a contract with the website, and will upload a certain amount of character designs, CG or background images every month for general use (non-unique authorization, low price) or special purpose (unique authorization, the price is comparable to similar authorizations) ) for sale, and at the same time accept original painting tasks from other original game producers or official releases.During this process, the website takes 5% of the handling fee, and Bai Miao personally takes 1% as an intermediary for the painters, and is responsible for recommending typesetting for them.

Also because of this bonus, Bai Miao mobilized the painters very hard, racking his brains every day trying to sign more painters.

In addition, a group of very good character modules and plot copywriting have also appeared. Lin Shu doubts that there may be professional writers or editors hidden behind these copywriting, but at least he can't find out from the registration information alone. Clue.It's a pity that the company currently doesn't have an intermediary in charge of text content, and Lin Shu doesn't want to arrange such a staff in the short term in order to avoid forming a competitive relationship with the original novel platform too soon.

With the hot development of the platform, the website has also begun to attract the attention of the outside world.Since the past two weeks, Du Sitong has received several interview appointments from game or computer magazines.With the help of Zheng Fangcheng, Du Sitong accepted interviews from several influential magazines and media, and introduced the platform and the company.

Among them was the insistence on interviewing the mysterious boss of Xingze, which Du Sitong also satisfied under certain circumstances—Lin Shu, a magazine and a media outlet each conducted a telephone interview.

Because it is a professional magazine, the content of the interview is also relatively professional.Ninety percent of the other party focused on the game itself and some special technical applications during the entire interview process, and only gossiped about a few private information at the end of the interview.

In the previous professional content, the reporter mainly asked Lin Shu about the engine, the motivation for this platform, how to overcome some technical difficulties, and the expected development direction of the platform in the future.Lin Shu replied one by one.

"The reason for making this platform is because I am very interested in foreign stand-alone online platforms such as Steam, as well as self-made mod functions of some games such as "Neverwinter Nights" and "The Elder Scrolls". Daewoo's "Star A part of the event editor was once added to a certain work of Volunteer Series, but this function was quickly discarded. But I don’t think this function is not easy to use... In a sense, I think this function is It is possible to wirelessly extend the life of a stand-alone game, but there were too many bugs when Daewoo made this function. I wondered if there could be such an engine system that could infinitely add new plots, new routes, and new characters, so that you can always experience fresh game functions, but you don’t need to search and wander between various games all the time.”

"So you thought of using mods to connect the game, right? Before the interview, I also tried your game. To be honest, the game is really interesting, but there are too many related mod functions, and many mods are not Understand what is going on. Can you explain to me how these functions are used and how they are combined?"

Lin Shu replied: "...Let me briefly introduce the principle, maybe not so detailed. In the games made by the future engine, all function modules, plot modules, and character modules exist independently. They are generally For example, it is connected with your character and data file. Functional module refers to a certain function, such as operating a store, such as character skill system, etc., which are generally divided into several categories, that is, economic , props, skills and others. They will help you when you take the plot line - for example, if there is a gift system in your game, you can increase the favorability of a character by making money to buy gifts, otherwise You can only increase or decrease the favorability according to the preset plot interaction and dialogue selection in the original character module. Generally speaking, the function module is mainly the interference of some data.”

"The plot module is a main plot, such as the occurrence of a case, the participation of a design competition, and the preparation of a dance performance. If the plot is expanded, then the pursuit of the general trend of the world in "Three Kingdoms" , or like the process of becoming the leader of the white way or evil way in the old game "Wulin Heroes", it can be regarded as a main plot, a kind of plot module. The character module is generally a strategy for developing love Objects, they will have preset behavior patterns, interactive plots, and even according to the functional modules you install, they will also have data such as skills and properties. They will interact with you, and at the same time join a certain Plot module. For example, in the plot module of a case, a non-mainline character whose personality is 'intelligent', 'dark-bellied', and 'narcissistic', whose property status is 'rich', and whose family status is 'celibate' is required When joining, the plot module will give priority to extracting qualified characters from your character module, and then arrange them into the plot."

"Story modules and character modules have preset mainline tasks and ending conditions. If you complete the tasks or meet the conditions, there will be an ending. However, even after the ending, your game will not end, but you can continue to load new The main line of the game, or choose other characters to continue the plot. If you follow the love line, you can also break up with the object of the previous round, or directly choose a new character to inherit the file and continue the game. If you follow the plot line, such as "Three Kingdoms" And so on... You can also load a "Han Wu Da Di" or something to play after you finish playing the previous game, right?"

"That's about what modules are for."

The interviewer listened, but said: "After listening to your introduction, I also kind of want to go back and continue playing games."

Lin Shu said, "A smart choice."

The reporter suddenly laughed and said, "But the interview is still going on. Let's finish this interview first." Then he paused and asked, "...is there really such a module as "Han Wu Da Di"? ?”

Lin Shu said: "...No. But there is a female-oriented module called "Your Golden House and My Tears", which can fall in love with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."

The reporter was a man, but he laughed when he heard this answer, and said, "...Forget it then."

……

At the end of the interview, the reporter asked: "Speaking of which, Mr. Lin, your voice sounds very young. Are you an adult?"

In fact, where is youth?Lin Shu's voice was still a child's voice at all.It's just that his tone of voice is so adult that it's hard to imagine that he is a child, so I just thought his voice was relatively high-pitched.

Lin Shu smiled and said, "Guess?"

Subsequent interviews were broadcast on magazines, websites, or programs, and the reputation of Xingze and the future platform became more and more famous.From the establishment of the platform to the present, Xingzhe has been developing steadily and rapidly. According to this situation, it is almost only a matter of time before it grows.

But there are also a lot of sweet pains mixed in - for example, the server has been a little stuck recently... This is the second one added this month; the business of technical customer service is getting busier... Zheng Fangcheng feels that the company There should be a dedicated HR manager - hiring three times in two months is a pain in the ass.

But overall, these are sweet pains, for all of them.

Because of the frequent overtime work and a lot of business during this period, Lin Shu checked the company's accounts and gave everyone a big red envelope to comfort everyone's physical fatigue.

Afterwards, Lin Shu's interview was broadcast on the Electronic Culture Channel, and the attention it aroused was not too big, but it was not too small.

Liang Yuehua had known about this for a long time. Liang Jiwen's father, Lin Shu's second uncle, and the only brother in Liang Yuehua's generation, Liang Jingyan himself was the middleman who informed Lin Shu that he wanted to interview Xingze for a certain program of Electronic Culture. The situation is also clear.

But I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, no one mentioned a word to Liang Jiwen.So when everyone gathered around the TV and started watching programs and listening to related news, Liang Jiwen didn't know what the news had to do with his family.

But he himself has always been interested in news about electronic technology, and this time the news is about games, so Liang Jiwen didn't ask any more questions, but just listened attentively. At the end, he said: "This platform sounds really good. It's fun, let me write down the URL later."

Then at this moment, Lin Shu's introduction to the nature of the game and a screenshot of the telephone interview appeared in the background.

Lin Shu's tone was steady and logical during the interview. Liang Yuehua and Liang Jingyan couldn't help but smile. Only Liang Jiwen couldn't understand, so he raised his head and blinked, and suddenly said: "This voice sounds a bit like Lin Shu's." Like it."

Several adults suddenly looked at each other, and then asked: "You don't know?"

Liang Jiwen looked blankly at his parents and aunt.

Liang Yuehua looked at Lin Shu and asked, "Why, you didn't tell your cousin?"

Several adults didn't deliberately publicize this matter to the children, but they didn't deliberately conceal it either.They all thought that at such a young age, Lin Shu would definitely not be able to resist showing off to his peers.

Unexpectedly, the child was so tight-lipped.

Lin Shu didn't like to talk about these things with Liang Jiwen very much, he was still on guard against the other party - competitors were his real attitude towards Liang Jiwen.Although it is not necessary now... But the mentality cultivated over the years will not be easily changed.

This child has had a bad habit since he was a child, and he pays attention to "emotions and anger are invisible".No one taught him this kind of thing, but he learned it by himself.

So Lin Shu has always disliked revealing his information, plans, and ideas to others. Unless it is necessary or beneficial to him, he neither likes to show off nor show off.He likes to silently bury cards for himself and bury traps for others.

But at this moment, it seems meaningless and unrealistic to keep hiding Liang Jiwen's secrets.So he smiled and said, "I didn't tell you. I'm a little embarrassed to tell Brother Ji Wen, it's like showing off."

So his uncle and aunt both praised Lin Shu for being so easy to be shy, saying that he is cute, but Liang Jiwen looked at his cousin and then looked at his cousin silently, then looked at the screen silently with his ears up, surprised...and a little inexplicable melancholy.

In the evening, Liang Jiwen asked Lin Shu, "Why didn't you tell me you made games?"

Lin Shu didn't expect him to question himself so directly, but he still said, "I just feel embarrassed to say it, and it's not a game I made alone."

Liang Jiwen said, "Why are you embarrassed? I won't be jealous of you just because you made the game first." He stared at Lin Shu for a while, with a sad tone, "If Lin Shu, you made the game, I would only Happy for you."

Lin Shu said, "Don't you know now?"

Hearing what he said, Liang Jiwen felt that he couldn't find a suitable answer for a long time.

To be honest, if Liang Jiwen had known the news the day before, he probably would have been very excited, and maybe he would have asked about Lin Shu's process, but at this time he felt quite boring and in no mood to ask.

But the child's mood changed a lot, so although the atmosphere was a bit awkward the night before, Liang Jiwen was not in any mood the next day, and began to register the account of Future Games with great interest, and began to choose games.

Then at this moment, Lin Shu received a call.Zheng Fangcheng said with a serious tone, "Boss, are you busy now, is it convenient to surf the Internet?"

After Lin Shu expressed his affirmation, Zheng Fangcheng asked him to search for news information on the Internet, and the keywords he gave were "Fetion" and "New Project Launch".

Hearing his tense tone, Lin Shu didn't waste any effort, and immediately searched for relevant information.

Then I saw the news all over the world, everyone was reading Fetion Games is about to cooperate with UV, a famous Korean game production company, to jointly create the largest original game trading platform in Asia.At present, the two parties have launched an engine project to produce the most innovative and outstanding original game production software that can satisfy players of all levels.

The propaganda was spread all over the sky, almost all the news sites that Lin Shu was familiar with, and some sites even had news videos.

The man talking in the video is in his early thirties. He looks friendly but has a confident temperament.

Lin Shu recognized this person.

Miao Yizhi has a name that doesn't match his appearance and personality. He used to be the general manager of Fetion Games. At least on the eve of Fetion's crisis, he was the CEO of Fetion Games.

However, at that time, Fetion was already at the end of its strength, and the continuous infringement lawsuits had already dragged the entire group into the quagmire, and several defeats had even ruined the reputation of the entire group.Miao Yizhi, who was entrusted with a heavy responsibility at the critical moment, took many emergency measures to try to turn the tide, but he was only a little short of success.

Because he met Li Zewei, the most famous intellectual property lawyer in anti-infringement.

Of course that's another story.

To be honest, Miao Yizhi did an excellent job compared to those stupid tricks that made the entire network dumbfounded when his predecessor was in office.

It's just that the timing wasn't right after all.

After Fetion was acquired, Miao Yizhi didn't show up much, and Lin Shu didn't pay much attention to him.However, in commercial infringement lawsuits, Miao Yizhi's handling as the defendant has always been used by universities as a classic negative teaching material to distance students, so Lin Shu is very familiar with the name Miao Yizhi.But he didn't expect that this time, the other party entered Fetion's management so early.

Zheng Fangcheng said: "This is a very strong competitor."

Fetion's momentum at this time is indeed in full swing, except for a few giants in the industry, there are almost no companies that can steal its edge.But Lin Shu didn't feel too nervous.

He said: "Brother Zheng, please stabilize first. There is a big gap between project approval and the actual online platform. Besides, our engine system is not without competitiveness."

Zheng Fangcheng said: "But we will definitely be at a disadvantage in terms of publicity, and Fetion has many favorable resources. It has the largest instant messaging user base in China, and Kuaishu is directly a group under its name. They have advantages in various aspects .”

After hearing this, Lin Shu was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "By the way, Brother Zheng. Has the contract for "Legend of Destiny" been signed?"

"!?" Zheng Fangcheng was startled, and then said, "It has already been signed, and there should be no accidents."

Lin Shu thought for a while and said, "I hope nothing has changed."

But what changed later was not the contract of Legend of Destiny, but the movement of Jingshui.

Du Sitong has been talking about some works of Jingshui Academy, but because of the price issue, the negotiation has not been finalized. It has only recently achieved some results. Du Sitong just negotiated the terms with the other party the day before yesterday, and only the final step of signing is left.

However, the subsequent signing was not completed, and Jingshui has been delaying the formal signing.When Du Sitong went to urge them today, the other party said that there were some problems with all the contracts and needed to be discussed again.

In Lin Shu's impression, his teacher Du was really a good-tempered little girl, but when she received this call, she completely exploded.If it wasn't for lack of strength, Lin Shu suspected that she would directly crush the phone in her hand.

House seemingly endless rain.

Lin Shu thought for a while, and said to Du Sitong: "There is no need to discuss the authorization from Jingshui, it is meaningless. Next, Mr. Du, please contact the management of Jinjiang. I think we may have further cooperation."

Du Sitong asked: "I don't care about Jingshui?"

She had been entangled with the other party for so long, and when she first heard Lin Shu say that she was going to give up, she felt extremely uncomfortable and unwilling.

Lin Shu didn't know what was going on in her mind, so he just said very seriously: "There is no need to talk any more over there. Even if we talk, it will be a waste of time. Your time is precious, so it's best not to spend it on it."

Then he said again: "It is very difficult for us to get the original works of Kuaishu, especially after Fetion intends to involve similar platforms. So we can enter into further in-depth cooperation with Jinjiang. First of all, from copyright Open up."

"Comprehensive cooperation, I believe it is also very beneficial to the other party."
