This game is awesome

Gu Qingshi thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Meng, go to the job search website and recruit some people. The requirements don't have to be too high."

Not demanding? That's easy.

Li Xiaomeng agreed immediately and the task was completed smoothly.

.......

.......

Gu Qingshi did not stay in the offline store for long. After sitting for a while, she went back to Beihai Villa.

Beihai Villa, Development Department 2.

The employees of Development Department 2 are carrying out an exciting group running activity.

"I met an ogre, who can help me?"

"I'm coming, my fire is thirsty!"

"The monk's fists and feet will protect you."

"Keep going warriors, my brothers and sisters, grandparents, uncles and aunts will be here soon."

As soon as these words were spoken, several people looked at the necromancy wizard.

The wizard's surname is Yuan, and his given name is Ji. He is a senior AI technician with good eloquence. I heard that he used to be a bartender.

"Uh, is there a problem?"

"You seem to be taking it a little too far."

Snapped!

Xu Qiusheng pushed the door open and saw several people gathered together whispering. He asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

Several employees immediately sat up straight, and Yuan Ji answered seriously:

"Looking for inspiration, you know, Boss. Inspiration is something illusory, a kind of epiphany. Boss, do you know what epiphany is?"

"I'm not a fool..."

Xu Qiu Sheng swore unconsciously. After coming to Fanxing, he spoke more and more freely. The people around him were easy to get along with, so there was no need to be cautious all the time.

Yuan Ji's expression immediately became serious, shocking Xu Qiu Sheng.

"Boss, sudden enlightenment is a Buddhist concept. It's awakening. What should we awaken to? We need to realize 'emptiness'. This emptiness is very interesting. Chinese people often say that the source of all things in the universe is such-such..."

What the hell, I asked you what you are doing here, and you even brought this up with Buddhist principles...

Xu Qiusheng was speechless, "Don't talk nonsense."

"The planning team has reset the second-ring skills of the mage. You will follow the new plan later and throw the old one aside."

As soon as these words came out, the entire programming team wailed.

"Boss, this has been changed twice, please let our brother go!"

“This is the final version.”

"Boss, please be more careful. You said the same thing last week!"

"Ahem! This is really the last edition." Xu Qiusheng was a little embarrassed and immediately changed the subject, "What are you playing on the table?"

A few slacking employees consciously put the dice in their pockets.

The convenience of board games is that a few people can get together and play with a dice.

"I didn't do anything, I didn't do anything..."

Several people denied it with a smile.

"What are you doing if you are not doing anything?" Xu Qiu Sheng also noticed something and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Did you guys make a Baldur's Gate board game?"

Seeing that something was wrong, several people immediately switched modes.

"Fuck, boss, you see through everything! Goethe said: A person with sharp vision and profound insight, who can also admit that he has limitations, is not far from being a perfect person. Boss, you are just half a step away from being a perfect person! Boss, you know what a perfect person is, right? A perfect person is..."

"Just shut up first."

Yuan Ji immediately shut his mouth and scratched his head with a smile.

Xu Qiu Sheng knew exactly what these bastards were trying to do. This guy, who was talking nonsense, must have been slacking off by playing board games.

But that doesn’t matter. The key point is that they actually created the “Baldur’s Gate” board game!

Xu Qiusheng immediately asked curiously, "I remember the planning team hasn't made a skill list for levels 8 and above, and some background settings haven't been given yet. How did you guys come up with it?"

Immediately another employee raised his hand.

"There is a detailed setting book in the library of the University of Michigan, and I made it according to that. Yuan Ji sorted it out and combined it with the rules of the third edition of the Northern Icefield."

Xu Qiu Sheng's eyes lit up again.

Yuan Ji is a talent! The CRPG version of Baldur's Gate has not been released yet, and DND is not well-known. We need to use some means to promote DND and pave the way for its release.

As a result, someone in the studio made a TRPG version of "Baldur's Gate"!

Although the plot is probably made up by them, the skill tables and rules have been worked out! All that's left is for an author to customize the plot, and it will be a brand new campaign.

Isn’t this a great opportunity to promote DND?

"You guys go to the office later. I'll go and ask Mr. Gu for instructions."

Xu Qiu Sheng left happily, leaving a few people staring at each other.

One of them asked, "Our problem isn't that serious, is it? Is Mr. Gu going to intervene?"

Yuan Ji wailed, "Please don't, I cherish this job! You all know that my family is poor, I have an 80-year-old mother and a 3-year-old baby..."

......

......

Gu Qingshi's office.

Xu Qiu Sheng hasn't arrived yet, but Li Xiaomeng came in first.

Gu Qingshi looked up, then lowered her head and continued to browse her phone.

"If you have something to say, tell me now. If not, accompany me home later."

Li Xiaomeng was startled and stopped moving forward.

"Boss, I'm still young..."

Gu Qingshi was annoyed, "I didn't bring my key, can you help me open the door!"

During this period, Li Xiaomeng often visited Gu Qingshi's house, so Gu Qingshi simply gave her a key.

"oh oh!"

"Hurry up and get down to business."

Li Xiaomeng scratched his head and said, "I forgot."

Gu Qingshi was speechless, "What's the use of you. Forget it, Director An has asked for leave today, you go and replace her later..."

"Boss, I remember now!"

Li Xiaomeng slapped his forehead and said excitedly: "An author said he wants to write our fan fiction!"

Gu Qingshi: "......"

Chapter 124 [An ordinary fortune-making pen; a poor family pretending to be a monkey]

Write fan fiction.

Of course, this is not a fan fiction of Gu Qingshi, but a fan fiction of Cthulhu.

As the incident of Qing Yun plagiarizing "The Rat in the Wall" fermented, the University of Michigan Library gradually appeared in the public eye.

But the first people who attracted it were not occult enthusiasts or cult fans, but online writers.

"Author of online articles?"

Gu Qingshi's eyes widened and she exclaimed in amazement.

What kind of online writer is so desperate as to touch upon the fundamentalist Cthulhu mythology?

In Gu Qingshi’s previous life, there was a curse circulating in the online literature circle that was deeply rooted in people’s hearts.

If you want to fail, write a Western fantasy.

I want to die violently, Cthulhu.

This is not something that was brought up casually. As an imported product, Cthulhu mythology itself is seriously incompatible with the online literature market.

Writing pure Cthulhu mythology, such as "The Herd of Babi", "Taiping Witchcraft", "Ghost Riding Bodhisattva" and so on, is just for fun in a small circle.

It is really difficult to integrate the online literature into it. The core of online literature is emotional satisfaction, but fear accounts for the majority of the emotions that Cthulhu Mythos can provide.

Aren't most people reading online articles just for fun? Who wants to be scared all the time?

Even when reading a horror story, isn't the ending always that the protagonist escapes? How can it end with the entire army being annihilated?

If you use the style of online literature to write about Cthulhu, you will most likely end up with a weird monster in the skin of Cthulhu that will please no one.

That's why Gu Qingshi was so surprised when she heard that someone was going to write a Cthulhu fan fiction.

However, this incident did remind Gu Qingshi of writing online articles.

Seeing that Gu Qingshi didn't say anything, Li Xiaomeng asked again: "So do we want authorization?"

"Give it to him. As long as the tribute is clearly expressed in the text, we won't pursue it."

Gu Qingshi took this very easy.

As for IP, if you hold it tightly in your hand, it will become more and more rigid; but if you release it, it can become living water and bring long-term prosperity.

"So should we change the agreement to explicitly allow commercial use?"
