Chapter 172 Unlucky Little Things (6k Subscription Request)

In order to impact the MOBA mobile game market and cope with subsequent competition, Lu Yao formed a gaming team of 300 people.

Among them, the project team led by the game science team alone has 187 employees. These employees are considered elites in the industry and have more or less experienced some relatively well-known projects.

This number is dozens more than the current Timi Studio. It will not be a problem to catch up and make the game in the next period of time. The problem is how to build a technological moat within this period of time.

The future of Honor of Kings will definitely be unique in terms of character design, mechanism design and in-game special effects, apart from other things.

Especially the in-game special effects design.

The King of Glory, which relies on selling skins as its main source of revenue, has invested a unique amount of research and development in this area. Not to mention the various particle effects and Dharma effects ten years later, Li Bai's "Feng Qiu Huang" series of skins in 2017 alone amazed many people.

There are even many King of Glory players who said that the "Phoenix" skin was the peak of the King of Glory when it was launched. Li Bai's "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" skin really amazed countless players.

In an era when most MOBA mobile games are still continuing the design style of several years ago, the appearance of "Feng Qiu Huang" perfectly interprets the fairy world in the hearts of young people. The Green Lotus Sword Immortal walks through the rivers and streams with his sword, and his white hair fluttering in the wind is simply so handsome.

I have also bought this skin for Lu Yao. Although it feels a bit light, it is really handsome and cool.

After that, Li Bai had all kinds of handsome and cool skins, but there were not many as fairy-like as Feng Qiuhuang.

Lu Yao’s requirement for the Game Science team is to be able to reproduce the level of Li Bai’s 2017 Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix.

This is indeed very difficult, because it not only requires consideration of the difficulty of development, but also the performance of most players' mobile phones.

But this game is scheduled to be released online in 2015, and by 2015, the performance of smartphones will be very good, and Apple's first-generation flagship phone 6sp will also be launched next year.

Lu Yao was still using this phone as a backup phone in 2019, and he had no problem using it to play the King of Glory at that time.

At the same time, Xiaomi will also release its first flagship model in early 2015. The top-end version will be equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, which is sufficient to support the operation of games.

When it comes to testing, Lu Yao will also use Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 series to perform performance tests.

As long as we can achieve the same level of graphics and special effects as the King in 2015 in 2017, even if we can't replicate it completely, but can only replicate % of it, it will be enough to create technical pressure on Penguin.

In particular, the Honor of Kings project was intended to make money from the beginning, but later it was allowed to survive because there were no other similar games. And after a large amount of subsequent investment, it has been getting better and better.

By the time the Penguin project team realized what was happening and tried hard to catch up and level up their technical capabilities, it was already too late.

Lu Yao now visits the game science team every day to check on the project progress, and then returns to the mini-game project team to produce the mini-games.

He plans to release two small games around September to test the waters.

The two mini-games are an airplane kitchen simulation management game called "Airplane Chef". This type of simulation management game has a fixed audience group and remains popular even after ten years.

Another one is the simpler and more brutal zombie fighting game "Shoot the Shooter". This game is still a small game with a fixed audience ten years later. A little man keeps upgrading and fighting monsters in the map. As the number of levels increases, the difficulty also increases.

The main feature is violent decompression.

The life cycle of this kind of game is not long, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy to get addicted.

Therefore, this type of game will undergo constant reskinning in the future, and each time it will allow the small companies behind it to make a lot of money.

But for Lu Yao, making money from these games is secondary. The most important thing is to release smoke bombs to the outside world and leave the impression of "Guang'an Games" to users in the gaming circle.

From then until the end of July, all the companies under Lu Yao's name were operating stably.

During this period, Monia also helped Lu Yao solve the problem of foreign models. Overseas independent sites and online stores were launched one after another, and the products of QQ track officially embarked on the road of export.

However, Lu Yao has almost no overseas marketing layout, and he does not have the energy to take care of this area for the time being, so he completely handed over this business to Monya to operate it. The price is that Lu Yao gave more shares of the foreign trade company to Monya.

And we have to go to their secret base to do it every month.

Another piece of news that is not considered news is that at the end of July, the great fight in Heaven finally came to an end.

In fact, the outcome of the great battle in Heaven had already been decided when Tao Sixing went to Luomahu Lake to find Lu Yao. Now it was just a declaration of victory after the dust had settled and the battlefield had been cleaned up.

This also means that Lu Yao no longer has to worry about certain things in the future, and he can live comfortably in Shangnan at his own pace.

……

In early August, after Lu Yao finished his work at the company, he sent a message to Sister Wang: "Where are you? Let's have dinner together tonight?"

Sister Wang quickly replied: "I'm downstairs at home. I'm busy today."

Lu Yao smiled and said, "Yeah, it's rare that I don't have any social events today, what are we having for dinner? Or should we cook at home?"

Sister Wang replied, "There's a new Shunde restaurant opened in the mall downstairs. I heard it's quite authentic. Want to try it?"

Lu Yao smiled and said, "Okay."

Ever since he sent a message to Sister Wang last year, his life with Sister Wang had lost the initial passion and pull, and gradually became dull. In addition, the local forces in Shangnan gradually disintegrated, and Sister Wang also left her original company and was no longer at risk of being cheated, so her life gradually became uneventful.

Lu Yao quite likes this kind of life.

Thinking back to the series of events last year, Lu Yao sometimes felt that those ups and downs and tense days were far away, but when he thought about it carefully, it had only been more than a month since he returned to Shangnan from Suyu.

“It turns out that I feel this way after more than a month.”

Humans are indeed creatures with a very disordered concept of time.

Lu Yao drove back to the parking lot downstairs of her home, then went up to the first floor and saw her sitting outside the Starbucks. She was wearing a loose, thin white satin shirt, loose straight black trousers, and a pair of high heels. She looked like a typical urban beauty.

It was already very hot in Shangnan in early August even at night, but Sister Wang was sitting outside Starbucks, contented and even in a daze.

I don’t know when a new children’s playground was built downstairs in the shopping mall. The colorful slides, climbing nets and various amusement facilities that Lu Yao couldn’t name have become a paradise for children.

The children from the nearby neighborhoods were having a great time playing inside, letting out all sorts of shrill cheers.

At this moment, Sister Wang was staring at the children's playground in a daze.

When Lu Yao came out of the mall, he saw Sister Wang sitting there like a statue, and he couldn't help but slow down his pace.

What was she thinking?
Could it be.
Some thoughts began to surge in Lu Yao's mind.

If he had not had the experience of studying abroad in the Future, he might have wanted a child because of "love" when he was twenty-six or twenty-seven, but after returning from studying abroad in the Future, he had no special ideas about children.

At least he doesn't want a child now.

In fact, men only want children particularly in two stages: when they are young and strong and are temporarily infatuated with love, and when they are old and weak and gradually feel the bleakness of their later years.

During the time between these two periods, men will not consider having children, because men in this period prefer to make money and go hunting in the forest.

Therefore, many DINK couples can get along well when they are young, but as time goes by, the relationship between the couple gradually becomes dull, and the sound of their aging and collapse seems to ring in their ears every day, so many DINK families begin to want children.

Then couples who had been together for more than ten or even twenty years soon became strangers.

A woman in her thirties is already an advanced maternal age, but she can still try her luck at this time, after all, medical conditions are good now; but for a woman in her forties, it is really beyond her ability.

Not to mention that some husbands in DINK families have had themselves sterilized in order to reassure their wives.

Seeing the look in Sister Wang's eyes as she looked at the children in the children's playground, Lu Yao's heart also twitched suddenly, as if he had been cut by an invisible blade.

Lu Yao calmed himself down and quickly walked over to sit next to Sister Wang.

Sister Wang also withdrew her gaze and forced a smile: "You're here."

Lu Yao smiled and said, "Have you been waiting for a long time? Are you hungry?"

Sister Wang shook her head: "I'm not very hungry yet, how about you?"

Lu Yao: "We ate a lot for afternoon tea, and we're not very hungry. So let's find some entertainment first? Have a spa or something."

Sister Wang smiled and said, "That's perfect. Yongzhen just asked me to go get a beauty treatment together, and then have dinner with us later."

After living in Lu Yao and Sister Wang's home for a month, Lin Yongzhen had become good sisters and best friends with Sister Wang. During this period when Lu Yao was very busy, Lin Yongzhen often played with Sister Wang, Jian Xiaojie and others.

Lu Yao smiled and said, "Let's go~"

Sister Wang has a beauty and health salon nearby that she often goes to. Unlike many other beauty and health salons that practice pseudo-scientific health care, many of the health care methods here are ancient Chinese medical prescriptions, which are indeed useful.

Especially the masseurs here, they all have medical qualifications.

Lu Yao has come here a few times and it is indeed very comfortable.

Because his project was different from Sister Wang’s, Lu Yao took a shower first, and then received a massage in a private room with Sister Wang and Lin Yongzhen.

The extremely professional technique swept away the fatigue that Lu Yao had accumulated in the past few days and made him refreshed. However, Lu Yao had already finished his work, while Sister Wang and Lin Yongzhen had only completed one-third of it.

The beauty programs of these two women are not just about their faces. A truly good beauty program starts from the inside out, so their beauty programs are basically full-body programs.

Lu Yao got bored waiting here, so he said to Sister Wang and Lin Yongzhen, "You guys go ahead and do it. I'll go to the mall to get some fresh air, smoke a cigarette, and wait for you."

Sister Wang and Lin Yongzhen felt so comfortable and relaxed at the moment that they didn't want to talk at all. They just said "um" vaguely to indicate that they understood.

After changing his clothes, Lu Yao returned to the Starbucks on the other side of the mall, ordered an iced American coffee, sat down on a chair outside, and smoked a cigarette to relax while waiting for Sister Wang and Lin Yongzhen.

7:30 in the evening is also the busiest time outside the mall.

Young men and women from nearby make appointments to come here to drink milk tea and go shopping, and there are also young parents who bring their children here for a walk.

Familiar children are running, chasing, and laughing, and all kinds of noisy sounds come together to create a world full of the flavor of life.

Then a little girl who was hiding from her friends ran to Lu Yao in a panic and was suddenly tripped by the tables and chairs here. Fortunately, Lu Yao was quick-witted and stretched out his leg to stop her, thus preventing the little girl from falling to the ground.

Lu Yao immediately supported the little girl and helped her up, saying fearfully, "Be careful."

But even so, the little girl still threw her hands to the ground, which turned a little red.

Lu Yao pulled her up, patted her, and asked, "Where are your parents? Be careful when playing." His words were a little cold and hard, and the little girl seemed a little scared. Lu Yao had no choice but to force a smile and said softly, "It's okay, it's okay, go play."

It was not until she saw Lu Yao smile that the little girl timidly said, "Thank you, brother. You look so good."

The praise in a childish voice made Lu Yao feel quite proud.

Children’s worldview is quite simple, so if they say you are pretty, then you really are pretty.

Lu Yao scratched her nose and said happily, "No candy for praising me."

The little girl said in a baby voice: "My praise for you is as sweet as eating candy~"

Hey!
How can you be so flirting at such a young age?

Lu Yao smiled and said, "You are really good at talking."

But at this moment, a somewhat alert and serious voice came: "What do you do?"

The voice was approaching quickly, and Lu Yao felt a figure approaching quickly and pulling the little girl behind him. The little girl was frightened by the sudden scolding and hid behind the figure.

Lu Yao raised his head and saw a woman with a serious and bitter face. Looking at the woman's alert look and the little girl's frightened state, Lu Yao guessed that this should be the little girl's mother.

He stood up and replied, "The kid just ran over and almost fell down. I helped him up and then we chatted for a while."

The woman's expression finally relaxed, and she said "thank you" dryly, then carried the little girl away.

The little girl, who looked about six years old, was carried by her mother. She looked a little depressed, perhaps because she was unhappy at the thought of going back like this.

Children only think about playing.

Sitting back at the door of Starbucks, Lu Yao continued to browse his phone, waiting for Sister Wang and Lin Yongzhen. After nearly an hour, Sister Wang and Lin Yongzhen finally came over arm in arm.

Lin Yongzhen greeted Lu Yao from a distance and said, "Sorry for the wait~"

She squinted her eyes and asked meaningfully, "Are you so hungry from waiting~"

Lu Yao stood up and said with a smile: "Beauty like you are always worth waiting for."

Sweet words are always a plus.

Lin Yongzhen and Wang Jie smiled. Just as they were about to enter the mall, a couple suddenly came over with their child. When they got to Lu Yao, the man of the young couple looked down at their daughter and asked, "Is this the person?"

Tears welled up in the little girl's eyes and her face looked very aggrieved. When she saw her father asking her, she couldn't help but nodded.

Then Lu Yao saw the man suddenly grab Lu Yao's collar and angrily asked: "Are you a human being? My daughter is only six years old and you have the heart to do that!"

Lu Yao was confused. What was going on?

Seeing this, Sister Wang and Lin Yongzhen immediately came over and grabbed the man's hand. They scolded him, "Let go! If you have any questions, talk to me nicely!"

The man was completely furious: "No way! Come with me to see the police!"

Lu Yao was afraid that Sister Wang and Lin Yongzhen would get hurt in the scuffle, so he immediately asked Sister Wang and Lin Yongzhen to step behind him.

Simultaneously.

He noticed that there were two sturdy and low-key men in the crowd whose eyes suddenly became gloomy and sharp, as if they were about to come over and stop this farce.

Those two people with completely different temperaments should be the ones sent by Rong Nianqing to protect him secretly.

But in this situation, if those two people really come over, they will definitely make things worse.

Because at this time, many people near the mall were already coming over with curious eyes to watch the fun.

Lu Yao quickly calmed down and asked with a cold look: "Are you going to hit me? Hit me or not?"

The man's arrogance suddenly wilted a little. In a society ruled by law, it is still a bit difficult for most people to hit someone, especially a man with a family.

Seeing this, Lu Yao said to Sister Wang and Lin Yongzhen beside him, "Call the police."

Seeing that more and more people were gathering here, and some were even taking out their cell phones to take pictures of them, Lu Yao wanted to resolve the matter quickly.

Soon the nearby police came over.

Seeing the police coming, the man who had been aggressive before immediately became wilted, and then told the police the whole story.

It turned out that after his wife took the little girl back home, he found red scratches on the palms of the little girl's hands. Then he questioned his wife why she didn't take care of the child, and then his wife wanted to teach the little girl a lesson.

Under the pressure from her parents, the little girl said that the scratches were caused by Lu Yao and that Lu Yao had touched her.

The police officer also became serious, squatted down and asked the little girl: "Is this all true?"

Tears as big as soybeans fell down the little girl's face. She looked so pitiful. She didn't say anything but just nodded to the police officer.

Then the police officer stood up and looked at Lu Yao: "What did you say?"

Lu Yao pointed to the camera on the door of Starbucks and said, "If we look at the camera, it will be clear. I am absolutely innocent."

The police officer agreed with Lu Yao's words, and then dispersed the people who were watching the excitement. He then took Lu Yao and the people across the street to Starbucks and retrieved the surveillance footage from the store manager.

The surveillance camera captured the little girl chasing and playing with other children, and then she suddenly tripped and almost fell. If Lu Yao hadn't stretched out his legs to block it, she would have fallen more seriously and might have been hit somewhere.

Then there is the scene where Lu Yao goes over and helps the little girl up.

It's just that Lu Yao was too big, and most of the little girl's body was blocked from behind, leaving only a small head exposed. You could also see Lu Yao scratching the little girl's nose.

Lu Yao recorded the footage in the monitoring room, and then kept the camera on and said, "She praised me for being pretty, and I was so happy that I chatted with her for a while. The actions were a bit intimate, but then her mother came and took her away."

This explanation is reasonable.

The police officer also tends to agree with Lu Yao's statement. Children will always talk nonsense in order to shirk responsibility and avoid punishment from their parents. Children don't even think that they are lying because they have no concept of lying.

The little girl's parents also agreed with this statement, and looked at the little girl with increasingly unfriendly eyes.

Lu Yao couldn't bear to watch and said, "No one would scare the child like you do. If he falls, he falls. It's good that nothing happened."

The way this couple treated their children reminded Lu Yao of his own childhood experiences. His father's discipline of him was also very high-handed. Just because he used chopsticks to dig a few more times in the dish while eating, his father hit him hard on the head with his chopsticks.

Lu Yao could never forget that kind of erratic fear and pain.

The little girl's father had a gloomy face. Facing Lu Yao's persuasion, he forced a smile and said stiffly: "Well, I'm sorry that I misunderstood you."

After saying that, he looked at the police officer again: "Thank you for your help as well."

The police officer waved his hands and said, "It's ok, the misunderstanding has been resolved, let's all go."

When I returned to the mall, the Shunde restaurant I wanted to eat was closed.

Lu Yao was angry and hungry. He scratched his head and smacked his lips, "It seems that tonight is not going well."

Lin Yongzhen comforted him, "It's all right once the misunderstanding is resolved. I know a very good seafood restaurant. Let's go there. I'll treat you."

Lu Yao waved his hand: "It's best not to go out when things are not going well."

Especially when bad luck has already happened, superstition says that bad luck will affect your future fortune, so it is best to stay dormant at this time. A more scientific view is that a bad mood at this time can easily make you make decisions that you would not normally make, thus causing a chain reaction.

Sister Wang smiled gently and said, "Then I'll be in charge of the cooking when we get home tonight."

Lin Yongzhen immediately turned into the atmosphere group: "That's great, I have a good meal tonight."

Lu Yao also smiled and said, "Okay."

It was already late to buy groceries at this time, but luckily there was still some stock at home. Sister Wang used the existing ingredients to make four dishes and a soup, which was quite hearty.

Until before dinner, Lu Yao was browsing various information on the Internet.

Sister Wang also knew that Lu Yao had changed a lot, so she asked, "How is it, is there any bad public opinion on the Internet?"

Lu Yao shook his head and said, "Not yet. Maybe this is just a small matter and it won't ferment."

This is the best result.

But Lu Yao did not dare to relax his monitoring of online public opinion. He is now a big blogger with three million fans on Weibo, and he has even more fans on Shangnan. If this matter ferments, he must publish a statement to clarify it for himself as soon as possible.

Lu Yao finished his meal absentmindedly, and then browsed the Internet on several devices at the same time.

By midnight, the video of him being grabbed by the collar in the shopping mall downstairs was uploaded to the Internet.

This video was first circulated in WeChat Moments. The person who uploaded it knew Lu Yao, and the caption was: "Is this the founder of Shangnan scumbags? Why did he get beaten?"

Then the poster’s circle of friends also included people who knew Lu Yao, and the video spread like wildfire online.

When a fan of Lv Yao tagged him online, he posted the footage and conversations he had taken in the surveillance room to his homepage and captioned, "I know you're here to watch the show, go tag your adopted son and see."

Seeing Lu Yao’s active self-affirmation, Lu Yao’s fans were delighted.

"Good fellow, is Lu Ze afraid of being slandered by others? He has even prepared a self-incriminating video."

"You are very alert~ Lu Ze~"

"Damn! I thought Lu Ze was finally going to collapse."

"Why do I feel like this is a play directed and acted by Lu Ze himself? Do you have no work to do?"
