Reborn to create a virtual world

In May of this year, Xingze set up an online game project.

In the few months before this, the module online function was a great success, and it was loved by many people for a while.The benefits of online mods are many. It allows players to interact with friends, and it doesn’t cost a lot of money like online games. Moreover, the mode of loading new mods avoids the lack of updates of open mods compared to real online games. The problem of losing its novelty and being eliminated.

The online mode provides players with the function of quickly synchronizing version materials, allowing players to temporarily enter other people's host mods for trial play even without purchasing new mods, which adds another way for game mods to recommend each other.

Under such circumstances, Xingze finally decided to set up an online game project.

However, the online game that Xingze will establish a project is very different from the traditional online game at this time. This difference is the server structure.In the current draft plan of the online game established by Xingze, the online game server is not a game partition, but on the contrary, each partition of the server is a different game world.

Use the same 3D character model, the same basic graphics engine and action structure, but each server will set up a different plot background and gameplay settings.After the player establishes and develops a character, he can travel through different servers and enter different worlds, and each world will have its unique properties, clothing, architectural style... and so on.

Such online games are essentially an extension of open engines and game modules, and their form of expression is closer to open stand-alone modules, but is quite different from the current form of online games.

And more importantly, Lin Shu plans to use the AI ​​system in this online game.In this way, the sub-game process will become a more lively and changeable world exploration process, rather than just a process of reading and viewing the world plot.

However, only the general design direction was drafted when the game project was established, and the specific design still needs to be set and developed one by one during the research and development process.

Going to school this morning, Ju Mingfeng seemed to be in a good mood and brought Lin Shu a lunch box.

Lin Shu opened the bento, first checked that there was nothing strange in it, and then sighed involuntarily. It is more diligent and virtuous to make a boyfriend than a girlfriend... What the hell?

He said, "Don't make bento next time, be careful that Brother Zheng gets suspicious."

Ju Mingfeng paused for a moment before saying, "No!"

Lin Shu was stunned.

Ju Mingfeng said very resolutely: "When it's rare to go back to school, isn't it a classic plot to make lunch for someone you like?"

Lin Shu made a black thread and said, "You've been reading some messy girl comics recently, aren't you?"

Ju Mingfeng rolled his eyes and said, "Who reads girl comics? It's so boring. In that kind of comics, the protagonist has no personality at all, and his IQ is like being eaten by a dog. Who wants to read it?"

Lin Shu: Knowing so clearly, you still read it.

If Bai Miao heard what Ju Mingfeng said, Bai Miao would definitely refute it back, complaining that he couldn't see Mount Tai, but Bai Miao was not there, so he couldn't refute Ju Mingfeng's prejudiced evaluation.

Then Ju Mingfeng said: "Actually, I just want to do it... so, can't it?"

Still holding chopsticks in his hand, he looked at Lin Shu seriously, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, the brows were slightly raised, his eyes were deep and provocative, reflecting the boy's appearance and temperament between immaturity and maturity, but It has a different kind of beauty.

Lin Shu's heart skipped a beat suddenly.

He has very little experience in love, even if he had a girlfriend before, the love is very shallow, most of them are in a state of more than friendship but less than lover after being confessed, so he can finally say goodbye peacefully.

Be it for Ju Mingfeng, or for others, Lin Shu is usually mostly passive, and rarely has emotions boiling in his heart, so at this moment, when he feels similar emotions, he can't help but show a glowing expression on his face. red.

Ju Mingfeng: Damn it.

He felt that Lin Shu fouled.

He clenched his fists tightly, and it took him a long time to restrain himself from making a move in front of the public. As a result, his entire face was wrinkled and twisted all of a sudden.

Seeing his face suddenly changed, Lin Shu thought that he was not feeling well, so she asked with concern: "...What's wrong with you? Does it mean your stomach hurts? Or is it a headache?"

Ju Mingfeng suddenly reached out and touched Lin Shu's face.

Lin Shu froze for a moment, looked left and right and found no one noticed, then rolled his eyes, and suddenly stepped on Ju Mingfeng's foot.This step was not very heavy, most of it was a warning, so Ju Mingfeng hurriedly sat upright.

After entering the company after class in the afternoon, Ju Mingfeng entered the office, turned around and locked the door, then hugged Lin Shu and gave him a heavy slap on the face.Lin Shu wiped the saliva off his face, then said with a low face, "Restraint me a little bit, if your parents know about it, you will be screwed if you mess around at school. No, if your dad thinks something is wrong, he just needs to throw you outside, and we will probably only have the role of 'A Thousand Miles of Beauty'."

Ju Mingfeng also knew this was true, thought for a while, and said, "Cut, it will take at least four years... so annoying."

Then he thought about it, and suddenly said in a whimsical way: "How about we go to Yanjing to study like your mother hoped? If we go to Yanjing, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and everything we do can be much more convenient."

Lin Shu sneered and said, "Please do me a favor. If I go to Yanjing to study, I will either live on campus or at my uncle's house. It will only be more inconvenient, okay?"

Lin Shu couldn't believe that Ju Mingfeng had thought about such a bad idea before he said it.

Ju Mingfeng also found that he was in love with his brain again, and the ideas he came up with were completely out of standard.However, he lay on the sofa tossing and turning for a long time, but he still couldn't think of any other good ideas - the best idea was nothing more than the word "tolerance", but didn't he just don't want to bear it?

Ju Mingfeng was still struggling, but finally heard a knock on the door, and then Zheng Fangcheng asked: "Boss Lin, can I come in?"

Lin Shu quickly unlocked the door and asked, "Brother Zheng, what's the matter?"

Zheng Fangcheng said, "Have you read the news? It's about Fetion."

Lin Shu really didn't read it, so he asked, "What news?"

Zheng Fangcheng then replied: "Go online first, and search for the keywords 'Fetion' and 'Funds'."

According to what he wanted, Lin Shu turned on the computer and searched online, and found a lot of news—"Infringement lawsuits have been hit by Waterloo, Fetion may be in a financial quagmire", "After four thousand, seven thousand, three sets of lawsuits Hundreds of millions of compensation, Fetion's future is bleak", "The three major platforms have been blocked one after another, and years of plagiarism have finally suffered bad results"...Lin Shu clicked on the news and read it one by one, and found that most of the news was about Fetion's relationship with Bi Laizide The lawsuit was lost, so it was necessary to compensate 7000 million yuan for the news, and part of it is that the management of Fetion is currently contacting financing, hoping to read the current difficult news through this method.

Of course, there are still a few news articles that focus on analyzing the origin of Fetion’s difficulties, and believe that it is mainly because Fetion has invested too much money and effort in the two fields of online literature and open platforms in the past few years, but in the end it did not. These two fields overwhelmed Jinjiang and Xingze respectively, but were jointly blocked by these two websites, resulting in the inability to recover the funds in time, which led to the current situation.

In fact, according to Lin Shu's view, Fetion is too obsessed with shortcuts and user groups, and has never spent its energy on making good products, but has always spent most of its energy on controlling the user's psychology.

Many online games and related platforms are too obsessed with luring players to make impulsive consumption instead of allowing players to control the amount of consumption independently.Although this approach is easy to capture a lot of income in the short term, it is easy to consume players' enthusiasm for the game, which is extremely detrimental to the game industry in essence.

And this is actually the biggest difference between point card games and item games in a sense.

Xingze gave up such an approach from the very beginning.Although the player's mentality of impulsive consumption will never disappear, at least Xingzhe will not deliberately promote this behavior in this regard, and will try his best to allow players to enjoy the benefits of corresponding consumption after impulsive consumption. Instead of fetching water from a bamboo basket in vain.

This is the long-term benefit.

After reading several important news, Lin Shu said: "The centipede is dead but not stiff. Fetion is probably not so easy to fall. But if I have to say it, I think it is a matter of them wanting to come back to life in this situation." Difficult thing."

Zheng Fangcheng said: "If they take down all the games that involve plagiarism—"

Lin Shu said: "This is the question... how many 'original' games do you think Fetion has? Why did Fetion become the largest instant messaging software in China? There has been a rebound from players who have spent a lot of money. And without these supporting entertainment items, how attractive is the software itself?"

Then he paused, and then lowered his voice and said, "The most powerful part of Fetion... is actually in government operations and public relations. Do you know how many infringement lawsuits it has gone through in the past ten years, and how much money it has lost? Chinese copycats , because the early government itself supported the counterfeit strategy. In order to obtain more civilian technology faster and at a lower cost, our country released all restrictions and turned a blind eye to all copying and copying behaviors... …however there is a price to pay for doing so.”

For the country, the price is the decline of the original consciousness of the whole society; for Fetion, this quagmire is the price they have to pay.

After a while, shortly before Lin Shu's midterm exam, Fetion officially announced that it had accepted MS, a large overseas company, as a joint venture company.

As of this day, the chairman of Fetion, who was once omnipotent in the industry, has finally returned to the world.
