Otherworldly Architect

April 4, 30 days after the game was released.

On Bluestar's official forum, some players discovered an easter egg about NPC Adam.

There were only a few replies to the post initially.

【Have you found out that Adam raised a little bird named "Red Stone Seven" before?Isn't this the name of Blue Star's AI? 】

[I know, Adam has a line that seems to say "If I die, who will take care of you?"]

[Upstairs, why haven't I encountered this line before?It sounds sad. 】

[Redstone No. [-] must have been made by Ling Lingqi!The Minecraft MOD he made has similar easter eggs in each of them. It is said that it is the name of the first puppy he raised. 】

[Adam's prototype is Ling Lingqi? 】

Blue Star's staff also saw this post by accident.

This was originally a small matter, but it just aroused the emotions in the hearts of everyone in Blue Star.

The first and only pet Ling Lingqi ever raised was called "Xiao Qi". The year it died of illness happened to be the year he was diagnosed with the disease.

After that, Ling Lingqi never kept pets again, because she was afraid that after her death, no one would take care of these little things.

It wasn't until later that he came across "Minecraft", which was a casual game that allowed players not to fight the whole time, allowing patients like him to live peacefully in it.

He re-raised a square puppy, also named "Xiaoqi".

Using this puppy as a prototype, coupled with his favorite redstone gameplay, Ling Lingqi silently continued to create the artificial intelligence AI "Redstone No. [-]".

After lunch, even Mingyan read this post and replied below.

[Adam's prototype is Ling Lingqi.He's sick and we hope he gets better soon, play the game we made and preferably smile at us again. 】

Because Mingyan was in real life, the ID of the reply was directly "Mingyan", followed by the title "Chief Designer of Blue Star Studio".

And because of his reply, the whole post was automatically added with the essence and a blue headline, so that everyone could see his speech at a glance.

In the afternoon, this post completely became the most popular post on the forum, and was quickly topped on the homepage of the official website.

[Group photo in the front row! 】

[Is it really the real body of the leader? ! ! 】

[The leader personally confirmed that Ling Lingqi is the prototype of Adam and did not escape. PS, I think I'm going to fall in love with Ling Lingqi...]

[I am Ling Lingqi's high school classmate, this is true.Ling Lingqi suffered from a serious genetic breakdown, and is still in the intensive care unit. The critical illness notice has been issued, and she may die at any time. 】

The news continued to ferment, and soon, a large number of players understood the cause and effect of the matter.

Let’s look back at what Ling Lingqi has done in Bluestar and in Bluestar’s games—he has produced many “My World” MODs for free, has taught the Redstone series, and participated in the production of “Bluestar Doomsday” 》, donated artificial intelligence for game design of "Redstone No. [-]"...

Before he knew it, he had made so many contributions to Blue Star.

And at last year's Blue Star Carnival, when this shy boy faced the audience, he didn't say a word to himself, but just smiled and said, "It's really great to be able to work in Blue Star Studio."

After the video of the carnival was unearthed, many players secretly cried.

They opened a new prayer post with the title: [Pray for Ling Lingqi, "Heroes will surely get their wish". 】

——This is the line of a female NPC in Mortal Soul.

Players responded one after another:

[I wish Ling Lingqi a speedy recovery!Get involved in making new games! 】

[I'm willing to exchange my fifty catties of meat for Ling Lingqi to recover and be discharged from the hospital! 】

[+1, I am willing to give thirty catties of meat, any more would be too skinny. 】

【I!The meat on my stomach, the meat on my cheeks, the meat on my thighs, everything is fine! 】

While this matter was still fermenting on the Internet, someone came directly to Blue Star Studio and found Mingyan himself.

This is a business partner of Blue Star, also known as the holder of the "Little Gold Medal" by fans, from a well-known pharmaceutical company.

He contacted Mingyan for no other reason than Ling Lingqi's illness.

Everyone's time is precious, and he also said straight to the point: "Our company has some technical cooperation with Suzaku Empire. Recently, I heard about Lingling Paint on the Internet, and I thought it might be of some help. .”

The Rising Sun Alliance spans six star provinces, and the second, third, and fourth star provinces all border on the neighboring Suzaku Empire.

Although the Suzaku people and humans are not the same race, they are quite compatible in concept, so these two cosmic kingdoms have always had a relatively close relationship.

The Rising Sun Alliance is known for virtual reality and cross-world technology, while the Suzaku Empire is famous for its medical and spiritual technology.

The Blue Star partner introduced a high-end technology from the Suzaku Empire. Currently, there is no open technology sharing, and few doctors in the Chaoyang Alliance know about it.

"The effect on humans has not been widely tested, so there is no guarantee of a cure." He said, "Specifically, it may depend on the nature of the patient himself."

But in any case, this is the only treatment that Ling Lingqi has not tried yet.

Mingyan said after listening, "We will immediately contact Ling Lingqi's attending doctor and family members. I think they will also be willing to try."

Sure enough, the result of the preliminary communication was the same as what Mingyan thought.

Ling Lingqi's parents have divorced long ago, and his mother is currently taking care of him.

As soon as the lady heard that there was another method that had not been tried, she immediately decided to rush to find out the situation herself.

Next, it really depends on Ling Lingqi's fortune.

Everyone in Blue Star Studio hung the same blessing bag on their workstations, quietly praying for Ling Lingqi.

Netizens on the Internet also began to make spontaneous donations.

And Mingyan closed the donation channel of his account early in the morning.

At the same time, Ling Lingqi's mother also updated the blog and said:

[Blessings are the best help. We are not under too much financial pressure at the moment and don't need donations for the time being. Thank you everyone. 】

Mingyan thought that this matter had come to an end.

Because "Mortal Soul" has been released, Blue Star Studio also began to give employees a long vacation as usual.

But what I didn't expect was that Ling Lingqi's matter was taken advantage of by others.

At the end of May, in the "Mortal Soul" forum on the Atlas home platform, a liar with the ID "Master Lan Xingming" appeared.

The image he appeared was a complete copy of Mingyan's avatar at the Blue Star Carnival.

This person started a donation crowdfunding post on the forum, and also invited people to meet online to donate directly face-to-face.

This matter was quickly monitored by the Internet police and stopped in time.

However, the case is currently under investigation and the police did not disclose more information.

At this time, some people secretly hired the navy and deliberately spread false news:

[Blue Star made a fortune!Using sick employees to operate, induce players and passers-by to donate, enrich their own pockets, and don't care about Ling Lingqi's life or death! 】

[The amount involved in the case is as high as hundreds of thousands, and Blue Star's new work "Mortal Soul" is suspected of money laundering! 】

Because there are liars first, there are indeed victims on the Internet who have made related speeches.

Therefore, some passers-by who did not know the truth had preconceived it, subconsciously thinking that someone from Blue Star was using crowdfunding to cheat and launder money.

It was already Monday of the following week that the news reached Blue Star Studio.

Mingyan's secretary was so angry that her nose was crooked, and she said, "Who the hell is eating human blood steamed buns! Ling Lingqi is still receiving treatment, how can they say... how can they say such things?!"

Mingyan smelled a familiar smell from the style of these sailors.

He called the leader of the marketing team and Schrödinger's network security team members.

In just two days, they quickly found the force behind this public opinion attack——

Cruise capital.

After the final report came out, Mingyan understood everything at a glance.

The cruise ship is discrediting Blue Star Studios in an organized and disciplined manner, because their new game "Pioneer of the Herd" has just launched——

The results are extremely dismal! !

Tingxi Studio has just experienced a storm of public opinion. Players, fans, and passers-by are all very tired of Zhu Wenshu, which directly led to the tragic loss of the new game that Tingxi was counting on.

Some people even didn't play the new game at all, and directly gave the lowest score of the bad review, because the last game "Grasp of the Empire" turned into a garbage game that robbed money in the end.

In this situation, some companies will choose to deal with it coldly, and some companies may sincerely apologize and redo the game...

Some designers may take the blame and resign, while others don't care and continue to cheat money...

Now that Zhu Wenshu holds a large amount of capital, he obviously chose another path.

He wants to shift the focus of public opinion!

The current "Mortal Soul" has such a great momentum, as long as it is a sensational negative comment, it will be easy to spread. This is the weakness of modern human nature, and it is quite easy for the navy to add fuel to the flames.

Unfortunately, Zhu Wenshu made a mistake.

[——Hundreds of thousands of dollars involved? 】

Varian Wrynn, the head of Blue Star's art team, directly posted a video on his personal blog, showing his chubby image to the camera, even with a smile in his tone.

【You don’t necessarily look down on us too much, do you?Do you know what level of numbers can make the teacher motivated?Did you know he earns an average luxury car for every spark of his inspiration?Do you know the amount of donations made to Lingling Paint within our Blue Star? 】

The following video has only one content - Varian posted the donation confirmation letters of several colleagues.

The figures above all start from 2 yuan.

The tallest person is Mingyan, who directly donated 88.

The total amount of donations from Blue Star exceeded hundreds of thousands early in the morning, which is why Ling Lingqi's mother directly stated that no donations are needed for the time being.
