In the afternoon, the two people compared the drafts in their hands, confirmed that there were no major problems, and revised them and wrote a brief review.

At this point, the manuscript is finally completed.

When the two people just arrived at the company, one of them fell asleep at his workstation, while the other one submitted the evaluation manuscript with dark circles under his eyes.

Xiao Wang is the one who has the misfortune to run errands.

When he reached the door of the editor-in-chief's office, he knocked twice and was then let in by Editor-in-Chief Lin.

He had just entered the office and was about to speak when his voice was stuck.

Sitting at the desk, Chief Editor Lin was staring at the screen intently, moving and clicking the mouse in his hand from time to time, making a slight "bang bang bang" sound.

Xiao Wang heard a very classic music "Faster Than Light" again, and was suddenly shocked. He roughly knew what the editor was doing.

He didn't bother her and quietly put the manuscript on the table.

"Editor-in-chief, is the manuscript on your desk?"

"Leave it there, and send another copy to my mailbox. I'll take a look later... Oh, how many fleets are needed to kill this Ether Dragon?"

Xiao Wang touched his chin and said confidently, "I think 50K is enough. To be on the safe side, 80K is definitely fine."

"Thank you, it's okay, you can go back first."

"Hey! Okay! Remember to watch it!"

"Good good."

The conversation between the two was unexpectedly harmonious.

Just returned to the workstation, Xiao Li was sleeping like a dead pig. After Xiao Wang shook him a few times, it was time to change shifts and it was his turn to sleep.

Xiao Li had just woken up and was still a little confused. When his mind was clearer, he asked, "Have you submitted the manuscript?"

"No punishment, right? We've been delayed for a whole day."

"No. Don't worry. I'll take a nap first. You stand guard for me. Don't let anyone catch me sleeping on the job."

Xiao Wang became more and more sleepy as he talked, and soon he fell asleep on the table.

Everything went smoothly for the two of them. They didn't encounter any leaders who were looking for trouble, and they slept until the afternoon and got off work smoothly.

.......

The next morning, Xiao Wang hadn't even crawled out of bed yet. He opened his phone and scrolled through the video platform as usual.

At this time, other information platforms and review websites have already released their review results. The average score of "Stellaris" is 9.4 points, which is a very impressive result.

"Well, let me see what kind of shit my peers are writing."

Xiao Wang casually clicked on a review document and read the first line.

Well, the writing is exactly as shit as what he wrote.

The manuscript has to be finished within three days of the game’s release. Do you really think the editor is an iron man?

As expected, the wording of these reviews is unbearable. But it's not a big problem, as most players just look at the ratings and at most the brief reviews.

As for the several thousand words of reviews... most players' first impression is:

——Too long, I won’t read it.

After reading this review, Xiao Wang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with satisfaction.

The huge rock in his heart fell to the ground, and he started watching videos without any burden.

Maybe big data remembered his previous search content, and the refreshed video was related to the rating of "Stellaris".

Then, he froze.

“A new masterpiece? Stellaris has an average online rating of 9.4 points (without NGI), and may lead a new wave of sci-fi games!”

Xiao Wang rubbed his eyes and carefully read the content in the brackets.

"No NGI? Didn't the manuscript get submitted yesterday?"

Xiao Wang was surprised and directly opened the “New Game Review” column on the NGI official website.

At this moment, a heavy hammer hit him hard.

Really not!

The latest review draft was at 10:20 yesterday morning, which means that there has been no new review draft since 10: yesterday morning.

Damn it!

"That's impossible. I can't have dreamed everything that happened yesterday, right?"

Xiao Wang suspected that he had become Brother Huozi.

But the records of clocking in at work, chatting with colleagues, discarded drafts and emails in the mailbox cannot be faked. All of these prove that he did finish writing the manuscript yesterday.

hiss!

If so, the only possible reason is...

Xiao Wang called Chief Editor Lin with a trepidation. After a long wait, he finally heard Chief Editor Lin's weak voice, as if he was sleepwalking.

Hearing this weak voice, Xiao Wang's heart skipped a beat and a bad idea came to his mind.

"Hello, who are you?"

"I'm Xiao Wang from the review team. Editor-in-chief, you...didn't forget to upload the manuscript, did you?"

There was a moment of silence, followed by a cry of surprise.

"Fuck! I was so engrossed in playing Stellaris that I forgot about this!"

Chapter 207 [Opening Binary]

3 month 19 day.

Gu Qingshi just got off the plane.

The comprehensive management level of Tianjin in this world is quite good, and the air quality is better than that of Tianjin on Earth.

Li Xiaomeng was standing next to him, wearing a black suit and sunglasses, pretending to be a bodyguard.

Just a little short in height...

After the two people landed, Professor Jiang from Southeast University drove to pick them up personally and took them directly to the Southeast University campus.

Gu Qingci came here mainly to participate in the "Binary Competition" this time.

The competition process is divided into three parts, namely "preliminary round", "semi-final round" and "final round". The preliminary round is completed on the Internet. Contestants only need to upload their project books to the binary official website, and then enter the preliminary round after passing the AI ​​review. The overall difficulty is not high, but the project books must be complete and must not be similar.

After entering the preliminary round, the judging panel will be responsible for evaluating the market prospects, design patterns and innovation of the game projects, and then select outstanding projects to enter the semi-finals based on the results.

The semi-finals are divided into nine regions, namely North China, Central China, and South China. Participants need to conduct on-site roadshows to present their games to the judges and the audience. Finally, the competition committee selects the games that enter the finals based on the comprehensive scores of the judges and the audience.

Among them, Dongda University is hosting the team competition in the North China region.

Less than a month later, the first five levels of the first chapter of "Kingdom Rush" have been completed. In addition to the unique "barracks" design, a new unit "hero" has also been introduced.

Players can now manipulate hero units to intercept monsters on the tower defense path.

With these innovative points and the good numerical design of the game itself, "Kingdom Rush" easily passed the preliminary review.

Although it sounds easy, this simple "preliminary review" will block 99% of the contestants.

There were a total of 4.8 contestants and teams in the North China region of this binary competition, but only 576 passed the preliminary round, with a pass rate of 1.2%.

In addition to the strict requirements of the binary competition itself, another major reason for such an astonishing pass rate is that the levels of the contestants are too uneven.

In fact, most schools do not have any majors related to electronic games, but when faced with such national-level competitions, many schools will adopt a so-called "encouraging participation" policy: as long as you can pass the most basic review and enter the preliminary round, you will be given extra credits or even innovation and entrepreneurship points.

Just like the "Internet + Competition" in Gu Qingshi's previous life, the contestants were a mixed bag.

The semi-finals had already started four days ago, but it was not Gu Qingshi and her team's turn to play their game. It was not until the 22nd that Kingdom Rush was added to the judges' list.

Game day.

Gu Qingshi, Li Xiaomeng and Gu Qingzhi arrived at the binary semi-finals on time.

They walked through the creator channel and arrived earlier. After waiting for more than ten minutes, staff members guided the judges and audience to enter in an orderly manner. Soon, the auditorium was full of people.

Many spectators were talking and laughing with their mobile phones, while others were already looking around and taking pictures. From a distance, it looked bustling and lively.

There are two semi-finals every day, each lasting two and a half hours, with a total of 10 teams in each game. The audience seats are reserved by appointment, with 2000 seats available per day. Audiences need to fill out a questionnaire and be reviewed and screened by the event organizer before they can successfully make a reservation.

Therefore, the audience who can come to visit and rate the game have a better understanding of the game than passers-by, and there will almost never be an embarrassing situation where wasd does not know how to help the staff as needed.

The eight specially invited judges have already taken their seats on the judging panel.

These eight judges are either game designers from well-known manufacturers or expert professors majoring in electronic games from universities. In any case, there are small words under the names on their tables to introduce their identities and status.

The most notable ones among them are Geng Sanqiang and Hua Wenzon.

Geng Sanqiang, former A5-level game designer of Yungong, technical director of Yungong Electronic Studio, former creative director of Gulang New Star Studio, current founder of Horizon Entertainment, graduated from Southeast University.

Hua Wenzong is the editor-in-chief of "Game Console Holographic Technology", which is ranked third among the national electronic game newspapers and magazines, and a senior game reviewer.

Both of them are nearly 40 years old and have been working in the industry for more than a decade. One is a master who made a big name for himself in Yungong Gulang and then left, and the other is a big boss who brought "Game Console Holographic Technology" to the bestseller list. Both are of high quality.

On the other side, many contestants in the creators' seat had already started to panic.

"Why is Hua Yanwang here too? I can't handle his venomous tongue."

"Hua Yanwang? What bad luck! And that guy must be Horizon's boss Geng, right? Boss Geng, please show some mercy, please show some mercy."

"Oh, don't mention it. In the rematch the day before yesterday, Brother Geng scored six low scores in a row. Brothers, just wish yourselves the best..."

Hearing that both of them were difficult to deal with, all the contestants were nervous.

The competition officially started, the host came on stage to warm up the audience, the judges introduced themselves, and the judges came on stage to give speeches. In short, it was a bunch of repetitive words.

The contestants became increasingly nervous.

Gu Qingzhi was also affected by the tense atmosphere. The girl asked in a low voice: "Senior, are you scared?"

With a bang, Gu Qingshi hit Gu Qingzhi on the forehead, and Gu Qingzhi covered her head in pain.

"Does it hurt?"
