Technology dominance starts with learning machines

Chapter 59 Intelligent Game NPC?

As the dawn breaks, a brilliant pale light appears on the horizon.

Li Ya was like a little bird that was injected with infinite energy, and Li Pingan didn't even need to remind her.

I got up early before it was fully light.

Looking at the brother who kept yawning, Li Ya kept urging him:

"Brother, hurry up, I need to grab a good bed!"

"I don't want to live on the top bunk."

"Preferably the lower bunk by the window."

"There's also military training... I heard from other students that it's very interesting."

Li Pingan looked helplessly at his excited sister, thinking to himself:
The girl was looking forward to the military training with great joy, but she really experienced the boring drills under the scorching sun, the mechanical and repetitive movements and the strict discipline.

Once you realize the boredom and fatigue of military training, you will probably regret it.

I really don't understand what she is looking forward to.

Don’t you know that even if you put sunscreen all over your face, it won’t change the fact that you will get tanned in a week?
It takes an hour to drive from my hometown to the county town.

Li Ping'an drove to the gate of the county's No. 1 Middle School, only to find that the gate had already been surrounded by a crowd of people.

The county's No. 1 Middle School has never allowed vehicles from outside to enter the campus.

Even on special days like the start of school, no outside vehicles are allowed to enter the school.

Because of this, when you look around, you can see that both sides of the road are already filled with private cars, one next to the other, forming a long queue.

Li Ping'an took great pains to find a vacant space a little way away to park his car, and then accompanied his sister through the bustling crowd to complete the admission procedures.

……

"Your class teacher said that you will have evening self-study tonight. Don't run around when you come to school. Get familiar with the people in the same dormitory."

"If anything happens, remember to call me first."

At this moment, almost all the girls' dormitories have arrived.

Parents are making beds for their children.

Li Ya, who arrived relatively early, got the lower bunk by the window as she wished.

After everything was settled, Li Ping'an left one thousand yuan in cash for his sister.

"The company still has something to do, so I'll leave first."

"Okay!" Li Ya, who was sitting on the bed, nodded.

After leaving school, Li Pingan drove directly back to the company.

On the way, Li Pingan couldn't help but feel a little worried:
This girl is going to start her military training tomorrow. I'm really afraid that after the training is over, when she gets tanned, she will cry and call me to complain.

On the way back, Li Ping'an was immersed in the warm atmosphere created by the dynamic DJ. Suddenly, a crisp cell phone ringtone broke the rhythm of the music.

He glanced at the large screen in the car and found that it was Old Wu calling.

Li Pingan raised his hand and pressed the quick answer button on the steering wheel, and said calmly:
"Hello? Old Wu, I'm on my way back to the company. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I'm driving."

In Luzhou, Wu Wenbin stood by the window of his office and said with a slightly excited look:

"Boss, I just received a call from the editor-in-chief of Qidian Chinese Network, the top online writer.

The other party was very interested in the intelligence level of the pet elves developed by our Zhilifang Technology Co., Ltd., and believed that the core of the pet elves was very suitable as a free NPC in the game.

They have rich IP resources, and we have the technology to be responsible for game development.

Boss, do you think we should move forward with this cooperation?"

Pokémon is a product of artificial intelligence. Although it is not a complete version, Li Pingan has long foreseen its potential as a game NPC.

What was unexpected was that the first to actively seek cooperation was not the game companies, but Qidian Chinese Network, which holds a large number of novel IPs.

The revenue that a hit game can bring is like a money-printing machine! This shows how profitable games are.

As for the skins sold for Pokémon, they are not worth mentioning in the game.

Li Pingan pondered for a moment and responded calmly:

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you to negotiate the business.

Since they only provide the IP and we are responsible for all the development work, you can think it over before negotiating with the other party about the distribution of the game revenue after development is completed.

Don't forget to take development and subsequent operation and maintenance costs into consideration.

Well...originally I planned to wait for a while before hiring a group of backend developers.

Now it seems...you should let HR start recruiting now, and it would be best if you can directly recruit talents from other companies.

With the boss's words "full authority is left to you", Wu Wenbin suddenly felt full of confidence and courage!
"Okay, boss. I will first review the relevant information on this cooperation in detail, and then have in-depth discussions with the other party."

"I said, I leave this matter entirely to you."

That afternoon, when Li Ping'an drove back to the company, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon.

As soon as he returned to the company, the first thing Li Pingan did was to order a takeaway.

Li Ping'an pushed open the door of Old Wu's office while ordering takeout.

But he found the house empty.

Seeing this, Li Ping'an came to the front desk, only to see the girl at the front desk curled up on a recliner under the front desk taking a sound nap.

Seeing this, Li Ping'an, instead of getting angry, nodded happily.

What does it mean that the girl brought her own lounge chair and blanket?
This shows that they are ready to develop in the company for a long time!
Li Ping'an was very happy to have such a dedicated and responsible employee.

What's more, it's lunch time after get off work, so what's wrong with people taking a short rest?

Li Pingan tapped the desk lightly, cleared his throat, and asked softly, "Do you know where Mr. Wu went?"

The girl, who was immersed in her dream, was startled by the sudden noise and subconsciously wanted to get up to check.

Unexpectedly, in a panic, there was a muffled "bang" and the girl's forehead accidentally hit the edge of the table. She covered her forehead with her hands, tears welled up in her eyes and almost burst out.

"Mr. Wu went out at noon and didn't tell me where he was going."

The girl endured the pain and looked at Li Pingan with a hint of grievance and innocence.

When Li Ping'an saw the girl's appearance, he knew that he was the culprit.

He coughed lightly, said "hmm", and then turned around and left quietly without making a sound, muttering to himself:

"Guilty, sinful."

After returning to his office, Li Pingan sent a message to Lao Wu.

"Are you going to discuss cooperation?"

I don’t know how Old Wu does it, he always replies to messages within seconds.

"Boss, I'm already on the train to City S."

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

“It’s packaged!”

I didn't expect that Old Wu, at his age, could communicate as well as young people and was not out of date.
