Otherworldly Architect

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

"Dragon Hunter" has finally come to the scheduled launch time after another public beta.

On March 3, "Dragon Hunter" officially opened the account (hunter scroll) registration channel and the download of the game itself, and at the same time unlocked the dragon egg generation area in all areas in the Chaoyang Alliance, and unlocked all dragon raising stages for all players.

Starting from this day, players in the entire Chaoyang Alliance can finally play the full version of "Dragon Hunter"!

During this period, there is one more thing that must be mentioned.

Just half a month ago, the Galactic Empire sent a letter to Blue Star Studio—of course, it was not in the name of serious diplomacy, but a culture minister from the Galactic Empire.

The letter was delivered in the name of a private person, but in the upper left corner, there was a badge of the Milky Way star flower——

It is said that this emperor of the Galactic Empire had the title of "Duke of the Star Flower" before he ascended the throne.

After he ascended the throne, the former dukedom became the land directly under the emperor's jurisdiction; the badge and seal of the star flower naturally became the emperor's personal seal, which is still occasionally used in informal occasions.

The gateway of the Chaoyang Alliance has gone through layers of audits, and finally delivered the letter to the mailbox of Blue Star Studio...

Although it is a "private letter", but the gateway opened for inspection, can that be called an invasion of privacy?

Certainly not.

The two sides are so solemn and cautious, but the tone of this letter seems very relaxed.

Because in fact, it was not written by His Majesty the Emperor of the Galactic Empire, but was written by his close ministers after he nodded, so it was just a private seal.

Of course, the meaning it wants to convey is also written very clearly:

His Majesty the Emperor does not want to regard ancient dragon species as a taboo, just like when he came to the throne, he did not regard his own name as a taboo.

Everyone knows the so-called "taboo".

If the emperor's surname is "Zhu", the word "Zhu" cannot appear in articles under the sun;

The emperor of the Galactic Empire can abolish the stereotypes and bad habits of so many years, so it can be said that he is a very enlightened emperor.

And this letter, to put it bluntly:

【Our emperor doesn't care about avoiding taboos, you can use ancient dragons if you like.Our private letter communication means that we don't have to rise to the level of diplomacy, what love! 】

As soon as this letter was delivered, the curse on Lanxing Studio's head was completely lifted.

What diplomatic envoys, what auditors, what Ministry of Culture, what big bloggers... Nothing can shake "Dragon Hunter".

This is the most orthodox authorization from the Galactic Empire, and it is also the successor of the ancient dragon species!

It's as if a few civilians were fighting because of some interest disputes, and the fighting turned into a group fight.

At this time, there was a sudden thunder, and dark clouds billowed, and a celestial being who crossed the tribulation came overhead, and split the whole land with a wave of his big hand!

It is not a power at one level at all, right and wrong are divided like the creation of the world.

From now on, no one can talk about the ancient dragon species in "Dragon Hunter" anymore, and even if there is a criticism, be careful that you will be invited to drink tea that night.

The voices on the Internet suddenly disappeared, and everyone hid cowardly.

What sunspots and sailors, when they usually sit high and high and watch the fire from the other side, they are naturally afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

But when they encountered such a big event, their hearts forgot to beat, and they wished they could get into the cracks of the floor tiles, for fear of being revenged by Blue Star Studio.

The "Masked Hero" was originally prepared to sue, and even said that he had already made his calculations clang, and wanted to use this opportunity of being sued by Blue Star to make some big news.

But as soon as the Galactic Empire's authorization came out, he was almost scared to pee his pants on the spot.

After regaining consciousness, I immediately began to actively save myself: no more gold medal lawyers, no more appeals, no more disturbances, and even less of a team of journalists!

——And a fart lawsuit!Immediately fell to the ground and crawled forward, ready to hold the thigh of the person in charge of Blue Star and cry... Let's see if the other side will be merciful and let him go.

At this time, Blue Star's lawyer was not in a hurry to deal with the matter over there.

At present, everyone is surrounding the letter with the imprint of the star flower, looking up eagerly one by one.

"Fuck, is this really a letter from the emperor next door??!!"

"It wasn't written by the emperor, it was written by a member of the royal family. It is said that there are thousands of people with the blood of the ancient dragon next door. The emperor has been taking care of everything for a long time. I guess the emperor may not even know about it."

"No matter what, the rounding means that the emperor knows our game!!!"

"This letter, the more I look at it, the more it looks like the legendary 'gold medal for avoiding death'?"

"Hey, pinch me quickly, I feel a little unreal, I might faint... Ah, I can't breathe..."

"Mom!!! I played games and got under the eyes of the emperor next door! I have no regrets in this life!!"

The old fossil player, the chief designer of Ming Dynasty, has never seen the emperor of the interstellar era.

He was a little cowardly, and poked his boyfriend's hand: "The emperor's letter, do we need us to build a room for it?"

Xia Cheng pondered for a while and said: "It's not necessary, this is a personal letter, and it was sent from the 'Star Flower Territory' in name, and has nothing to do with the emperor next door. But you can't just throw it away, I suggest saving it for later. A trophy or something."

Mingyan finally stored the letter in a platinum data card, turning it into a sculpture with a specific image.

Then it was placed together with the trophy in the cabinet in the middle of the office area.

Through the most advanced bulletproof glass, one can see that this data card is golden, refracting diamond-like light under countless small lights, and engraved with a line of words:

[In the 40xx year of the solar calendar, a letter from Duke Xingchenhua. 】

It really felt like Blue Star had achieved an achievement!

If he wanted to name this achievement, Mingyan thought of several names.

——Shang Da Tian listened?

——The game has alarmed the Party Central Committee?

——A gold medal from the imperial court?

This death-free gold medal instantly made Blue Star Studio a lot bolder.

Ideas that were not dared to be done before are now filled in the drafts of designers.

And the proposal about "ancient dragon species" also reappeared on the discussion table.

Mingyan rested his chin on one hand and pondered for a while, looking at the anxious eyes of the crowded employees below, and said, "In this case, let's make another reward system?"

Everyone almost stood up and shouted long live to him!

Now, half a month later, "Dragon Hunter" is officially launched, with a brand new reward and encyclopedia system launched.

The game has a built-in encyclopedia this time, allowing players to freely query all dragon species that they have collected information.

The encyclopedia is not shared between players, but is unlocked step by step according to each player's situation.

Each dragon species has its own home page, which is locked at first.

Players only need to see the appearance of a dragon, and they can open up the most basic information, including the outline of Jackie Chan's image and the name of the dragon species.

Next, every time you observe this dragon species, you will slowly unlock the progress.

And get the dragon egg, you can directly unlock the information page of the dragon egg; raise the dragon egg step by step, you can get the information page of each stage in turn.

But to unlock the encyclopedia page and all the information of this dragon species, you need to raise at least a pair of male and female adult dragons, or observe at least 10 adult dragons (there also need to be male and female).

The existence of the encyclopedia is simply to drive those collector crazy players.

Just imagine, when you open your encyclopedia page, you find that the directory is full of holes: some dragons can already see thumbnail color pictures, some dragons are still a blurry shadow, and some dragons have not even unlocked the name of the dragon species !

And there are various classifications of dragons.

For example, there are five types of colored dragons: red dragon, black dragon, white dragon, blue dragon, and green dragon. As long as you collect one set, you can get the achievement "Colorful Lineup"... and there is a very small probability that the five dragons can summon "color dragons". "Dragon Mother", an extremely rare and powerful dragon species.

In this way, how many people are rushing to collect a set of illustrated books.

If you already have four dragon species, you will definitely feel extremely urgent and even anxious about unlocking the last dragon species.

The role of the achievement system in "Dragon Hunter" is basically to open more incubators so that players can raise more dragons at the same time.

Or some special props that can enhance strength.

Of course, the most special set of achievements in it comes from the [Dragon Hunter Contest] series——

[Dragon Proud World: Won No.1 in the Dragon Hunter Contest, awarded the corresponding title, and won a pair of golden reward dragon eggs at the same time. 】

[Flying Dragon in the Sky: won No.2 in the Dragon Hunter Contest, awarded the corresponding title, and also won a pair of silver reward dragon eggs. 】

[Dragon in the wild: won No.3 in the Dragon Hunter Contest, awarded the corresponding title, and won a pair of bronze dragon eggs as a reward. 】

[Ding Chenglongsheng: Win the 4th-10th place in the Dragon Hunter Competition, award the corresponding title, and randomly get a bronze reward dragon egg. 】

[Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate: Win the 11th-30th place in the Dragon Hunter Contest and award the corresponding titles. At the same time, you can choose a dragon species at will (except the reward dragon) and get a pair of dragon eggs. 】

[Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Win the 31st-100th place in the Dragon Hunter Contest and award the corresponding title. At the same time, you can choose a dragon species at will (need to be unlocked in the player's encyclopedia) and get a pair of dragon eggs. 】

Almost on the first day after "Dragon Hunter" was officially launched, players were already excited about the achievements of this series.

[Is the reward dragon a new dragon species? ! ! ! !Never seen it before! ! !What kind of prosperous and beautiful dragon species must be qualified to be a reward for the competition! 】

[What about the news about the Dragon Hunter Contest?What about the news?Light will release rewards to whet people's appetites, if you have the ability, just open a registration channel. 】

[This kind of competition should still be a battle, it's all over, it's about adult dragons. 】

[I just downloaded the game, I have already placed an order for a full set of sportswear and sneakers, and now I am waiting to go out to pick up dragon eggs! 】

[Hehe, I bought the sneakers three months earlier, my precious son, Daddy finally has the opportunity to watch you marry a wife and have children...]

[Reward dragons at high prices, any color is fine, and it can be auctioned on the platform.My 100 million funds are ready. 】

[Don't think about it upstairs, according to Blue Star's urine, the reward dragon must be bound and cannot be traded...]

Indeed, the dragon eggs that reward dragons are not tradable.

Unlike other dragon eggs, they can be traded freely before hatching and 1 day after picking them up.

It is said that it can only be traded on friends and forums. In the future, "Dragon Hunter" will open the trading market, allowing players from all over the league to trade freely.

Moreover, the reward dragon will definitely hatch safely. There will not be other dragons. If the hatching conditions are not met after the time limit, it will become a sick egg, and then become a dead egg, which can no longer be hatched.

In the words of the designer: "The treasures that are sent out must be insured."

But there is no unparalleled road, rewarding dragons can reproduce!

Like other dragon species, reward dragons can produce pure blood dragon eggs as a male and female pair, or they can mix with other dragon species to produce hybrid dragon eggs.

Of course, no matter what kind of dragon eggs, there will be no "insurance" on them.

The upper limit of bonus dragon's attributes is of course very high, but it does not break the balance, but is similar to the attributes of other rare dragons.

Rewarding dragons for being truly special should be their skills—

Each bonus dragon has a 50% increased chance of gaining a rare skill than normal when growing to the next stage.

Hybrids with bonus dragon bloodlines will also have a 10%-50% chance to increase, depending on the closeness of the bloodline.

This is an attribute that is basically ignored by non-chieftains, but for elite players who raise a large number of dragons, it is simply a way to reach the sky.

After the official website vaguely introduced the characteristics of the bonus dragon, they even figured out how to "wash attributes"!

Of course it's too early to talk about the Hunter Contest now.

Most people have just been able to hatch the dragon eggs and have a little time with their little dragons.

The first Hunter Contest was clearly planned to be held directly on the last day of the Blue Star Carnival——

Blue Star Carnival has now been forced to be extended to three days, because there are more and more games in Blue Star, players are getting more and more enthusiastic, and the two days have become cramped.

By calculation, around May 5th, almost 20 days have passed since the public beta, which is enough for those liver emperors to hatch the eighth batch of dragon eggs.

If you don't hurry to catch excellent wild dragon eggs, but pursue the reproductive path of eugenics, then you can also nervously catch up with the third generation of pure-blood dragons to grow into adolescence.

So now, most players are still in a hurry to cultivate their own "generation".

The day after "Dragon Hunter" was launched, the AR game swept away the previous decline and hit the list of major mobile games.

This game is not the type of free experience and payment in the past, but a payment of 30 yuan to download, and then a built-in paid mall.

There are no props to break the balance in the mall, and it still upholds the conscientious style of Blue Star Studio.

On the first day, some players shouted on the forum:

[Dad, you forgot to charge again, Dad! ! ! 】

[Dignified Big Blue Star has been working for half a year, and only charges 30 yuan... Even if you are a knight-errant expansion pack, you will earn more than that.You will starve and lose weight like this (sounds hoarsely)! 】

[I beg you to give me some skin... what?There are already nearly a hundred dragon species, and there is no need for skins at all?Then I beg you to send out a batch of paid dragon eggs, okay? 】

Very real.

It's been a long time since anyone persuaded Bluestar to spend so much money, because games like last year's "Assassin's Way" and earlier "Bluestar Doomsday" and "Mortal Soul" were all under the spotlight born.

All the media in the Sixth Star Province are reporting vigorously, and the approximate sales volume of each game is estimated by professionals to be similar.

So far, almost half of the top ten in the sales list are occupied by Blue Star.

The players were very pleased and a little proud watching this scene, after all, they were one of them.

It's been a long time since I had this opportunity to dislike Blue Star for not being able to make money, but——

[The country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change, alas!How many years has it been for Blue Star, and I still can't learn how to cheat money. Look at the dragon-slaying sword next door. Even the precious land of the women's market is almost finished, okay? 】

Everyone in Blue Star felt that their fans were really different... Kindness.

As a lightweight AR game, "Dragon Hunter" itself is not aimed at profit.

In terms of profit, which game can be as legendary as "League of Legends"?

Impossibly good cut.

Most games, they are doing it for love, not for money, otherwise they would have made the expansion pack of "League of Legends" early in the morning...

Although the original intention was not here, the biggest benefit that "Dragon Hunter" can bring to Blue Star should be the government's tax exemption policy.

At the beginning of the year, Blue Star took "Dragon Hunter" to sign up for the "Offline Health Campaign" organized by the Network Information Propaganda Department, and received a number of 1024.

Programmers are very excited:

"Ah! Perfect integer!"

"Comfortable! OCD is finally comfortable!"

"We won, and I knew we won when I saw the numbers."

Ming Yan slowly spat out a question mark: "...?"

It's rare to see programmers so happy, is it really stable?

On the second day after the official launch, it was the first time that everyone did not pay attention to the real-time data on the game platform, but collectively stayed on the backstage page of the Network Information Propaganda Department.

On the 24th hour after launch, the real-time data was returned on time.

In the sixth-star province yesterday, the number of steps per capita was 4189 steps, and the average distance was 3.1 kilometers.

As a comparison of the same period, when "Dragon Hunter" was not launched the day before yesterday, the average number of steps per person was: 2961 steps, and the average distance was: 1.9 kilometers.

By the way, in yesterday's exercise data, the ratio of running time to walking time has increased by about 20%.

Moreover, the variance of the step count data is very large. People who are willing to run more than 5000 steps are far more than those who were willing to run more than 3000 steps before.

In other words, the people who were least willing to exercise still did not move.

Raising the average score depends on those big guys running marathons!

The 1% of the top scorers even ran a marathon of more than 40 kilometers!

"puff!!!!!"

Everyone who saw the data was terrified.

In the interstellar era, people who are willing to run long distances cannot be said to be rare, they should be called gods directly.

Mingyan rubbed his eyes, and fell into deep thought: "Is there really such an immediate effect? ​​The gap of more than 1000 steps... Is there another work that just happened to go online?"

At this time, the inspector comrade standing at the back had a complicated expression.

He took the initiative to come over, handed over a tablet, and said, "Looking at the source of the data, no one dared to compete with you yesterday."

Mingyan took a look at it. Yesterday’s statistics showed that runners wearing AR devices and playing "Dragon Hunter" accounted for 89% of all extra steps.

"..."

In other words, these extra steps of more than 1000 steps per person are really for the Dragon Hunter.

Varian on the side also said cheerfully: "Boss, there were no games released yesterday."

This has been the case a long time ago. As long as Blue Star Studio announced in advance which day it would release a new game, no one in the Sixth Star Province would dare to directly attack it.

There was no need for publicity that day either.

Because almost all players will not learn about the new game through the advertisements of the day, most of them are waiting early, and many of them even set alarm clocks and memos.

So the recent Blue Star, as long as it is the week of the game's release, it is basically equivalent to everyone finally taking a holiday.

This time when the Dragon Hunter's data came out, everyone wasn't too surprised, but they still jumped up with joy.

Because Mingyan clapped his hands, and seeing them look over, he smiled and said, "Well, today we ranked first in the 'Offline Health Exercise' publicity list, and to celebrate the rewards of the six months of hard work we all have— —”

"Get the red envelope!!!!" someone screamed.

Ming Yan had no choice but to say: "Yes, go get the red envelope."

Everyone lowered their heads joyfully again, opened the Bluestar internal APP and began to receive red envelopes.

"?"

The examiner standing at the back stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck to look at the screen of the person next to him.

As a result, the other party gave him a blank look.

The inspector didn't care too much, because he was really curious now: Blue Star's red envelopes were sent directly on the APP?How much does each person send?Will it be released every time the game is launched, or will it be released only after making money?

Then, the examiner sees it.

The mediocre artist next to him, and a junior employee who has just been here for a year, was smashed with a red envelope when he opened the app.

The numbers inside made the examiner swallow.

Without taking his own face into consideration, he asked, "Your red envelopes...do you have them in every game?"

The clerk said: "Then how can I do it!"

The examiner breathed a sigh of relief.

I heard the staff say: "Of course it will be posted every month. Like I also participated in the tail of the production of "The Way of the Assassin" last year, so I will also get the monthly "Way of the Assassin" based on my contribution. Revenue bonus. This red envelope, as long as I am still working in Blue Star, will be given out until I retire, and they will chase after me after retirement."

Examiner: "..."

——Hmph, let you pull in front, now slap me in the face!

The clerk felt refreshed, and deliberately opened his red envelope from last month, wanting to show off to him.

The clinker inspector stopped looking at his phone, but stared at the back of Chief Master Ming's head in front of him, and continued to ask, "Is there any shortage of people for your...testing job?"

staff:"……"
