This game is awesome

Later, this place was nicknamed Victory Settlement Square by players, and it became a must-visit place for game players to check in and make pilgrimage.

It's like the gods are dancing at Nietzsche's grave.

........

Next door is Villa No. 405, Xunyin Studio.

Bai Zhuce knocked on the office door with a nervous mood.

Before Pei E opened the door, Bai Zhuce heard the cackling of geese inside.

It can be heard that Pei E must be very happy at this moment.

"Come in, come in! Sister Xiaobai, our family is rich!"

Pei E couldn't stop smiling.

As expected, I am his biological child!

Although Boss Pei had an expression that said "Why did I give birth to such a prodigal child like you?", the 500 million yuan was still deposited into the account of Xunyin Studio after repeated checks by the bank.

Five hundred million! Five small goals!

The son doesn't feel bad about spending his grandfather's money, but Pei E is one of those people who doesn't feel bad at all.

After receiving repeated notifications and confirmation calls from the bank specialist, she immediately asked the assistant sent by Boss Pei to supervise her and prevent her from spending money indiscriminately to make an appointment with the senior leader of the municipal department.

Beihai Villa, she, Pei E, is determined to get it!

How to take this piece of land will require a protracted battle and we have to negotiate with the municipal government bit by bit to avoid being taken advantage of and blackmailed.

But at the moment, there is definitely no shortage of money.

Pei E pulled Bai Jie to the balcony.

The wind in early March was a little cold, and Pei E shivered.

Bai Jie was wearing thick clothes, so she took off her coat and put it on Pei E.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaobai!" Pei E thanked her and gave Bai Jie a hug. She then pointed to a few villas in the distance and said, "I plan to develop that into a creative incubation center for the Linlang Project. It can be rented out to Linlang Project studios and small companies at a limited time and at a low price."

"As for the real estate here, with the launch of the Linlang Project and the influx of many studios and game companies, it can be developed into a creative park to provide for various industries that want to settle in the villa."

Bai Jie nodded and listened silently as Pei E excitedly explained her grand blueprint.

Bai Jie did not refute or complain in her heart as she did before, but just said with relief: "Well, you are right."

As they were talking, Bai Jie followed Pei E back to the office, and then gently placed her resignation letter on the table.

Chapter 211 [New Developments in Baldur's Gate]

Zhou Fulin felt a little regretful and was repenting for the violent behavior he committed when he was drunk. He was hesitating whether to apologize to Lin Xinran.

I have no idea that he lives like the wife in the boy movie, the husband who brings the boss home, the parent who invites the teacher to his home for tutoring...

At that time, Gu Qingshi, who had just returned to Beihai Villa, sneezed and remembered the bet between her and Zhou Fulin.

The Binary Competition has not yet been completed, the semi-finals are still open, and the finals will be further scored by a panel of expert judges.

But overall, "Kingdom Rush" scored 0.2 points higher than "Strange Stories of Mountains and Seas", and had 700 more recommendation votes, so it is a foregone conclusion that it will win the Guojin Award.

However, "Strange Stories from Mountains and Seas" still surprised Gu Qingshi.

The game has been uploaded to the Binary Contest official website and can be downloaded by anyone.

Because the game only lasts about 30 minutes, the Binary Contest officials did not take any charging measures.

Following the idea of ​​"know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger", Gu Qingshi downloaded "Strange Stories from Mountains and Seas" to his computer and played it for a while. He found that the game was quite interesting.

This is obviously a pigeon game based on the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" theme.

There has been no phenomenal work on the subject of porn in this world, resulting in few people knowing about this type of subject matter.

But "Strange Stories from Mountains and Seas" did a good job. In addition to imitating the essence of its predecessors, it also added "true spirits" - a bit like the cells in "Dead Cells", which can serve as game currency.

Because of the addition of "true spirit", "Strange Stories from Mountains and Seas" overcame the problem of "poor feedback effect" from the design level and solved the problem of "unbalanced feedback between death and progress".

But in terms of complexity and depth, it is far inferior to other games. The famous roguelike game "The Binding of Isaac" has an item system, and players can obtain different effects by combining items. Another roguelike game "Soul Knight" has a variety of weapons, talents and different professions.

"Shan Hai Zhi Yi" is much worse. Although Lin Xinran also designed a lot of skills, these skills are relatively independent in function and it is difficult to form a "combination effect", which greatly reduces the complexity.

Gu Qingshi let out a soft sigh.

She did see the problem, but had no idea where to start to fix it - she really didn't know how to cook pigeons.

Gu Qingshi closed the game and continued to watch other games on the binary competition website with great interest.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

The person who came in was Xu Qiu Sheng.

Gu Qingshi held her chin and took a look. She was shocked and said immediately, "Director Xu, please sit down first. I'll go get two cans of coffee."

Director Xu held a pile of documents and hastily refused, "I'll just drink some boiled water. I'm here to tell you the good news."

Gu Qingshi's face was filled with shock.

"Baldur's Gate has been developed?"

Xu Qiu Sheng picked up the water cup and took only two sips when he almost choked.

He smiled helplessly and said, "It's not even been a year since we started developing it, how can it be that fast... Now the second chapter has been completed, the third chapter is basically finished, and the social network of the main characters in the entire game has also been established. The technical team estimates that it will take at least three months, and to be safe, it may take four months."

"The more difficult part now is the side quests in Chapter 3. According to your request, we have to do the upper and lower city areas, which will inevitably involve a large number of NPCs and related side quests. Four months is still a safe estimate. If we follow your request completely and everyone has their own life trajectory, it may take less than half a year."

"Of course, if you think it's okay, we can also put side quests and the like in subsequent DLCs. Our players prefer this approach."

There was a hint of misleading in Xu Qiu Sheng's words, suggesting that he wanted to finish the game quickly without over-polishing it.

There is no need to even think about it. There is no way Gu Qingshi would agree to this.

This is undoubtedly an attempt to self-castrate, just like the Jack plot line that was cut at the beginning of Cyberpunk 2077, in order to compromise for the duration of the project. However, developers can compromise, but players may not.

If she really found out that a lot of the plot had been cut later on, Gu Qingshi would probably be locked up in a small dark room by angry players...

The players in this world are full of martial virtues and are capable of storming company buildings and holding parades and rallies.

Seeing this, Xu Qiusheng nodded and sighed helplessly, "Then we can only chew the hard bones."

Gu Qingshi was a little disappointed, but not too depressed.

The side quests are indeed difficult to deal with. The third chapter of Baldur's Gate 3 is completely different from the previous chapters. It is the chapter with the most NPCs and buildings. There is a quest in every house in the lower city. There are so many side quests that it is needless to say.

If you add the Uptown area...

Those copy editors must have lost all their hair.

She tapped the table and looked at the ceiling, neither intending to answer nor intending to answer.

"Can we mobilize players to help us design side quests?"

Director Xu was stunned for a moment, then repeated with some doubt: "Player?"

"Ah, I just said that."

Gu Qingshi also felt that it was unrealistic. She shook her head and just as she finished speaking, she suddenly had an idea.

Eh? Launch the player?

The girl blinked and suddenly remembered the three DND novels she had funded.

Those three books were completed years ago. With the price of 300-500 per thousand words, those ghostwriters wrote as if they were risking their lives, starting with 120 words every day. In three months, they finished all three books with million words, successfully breaking the fastest record for completing a million words on the entire Internet.

And without exception, all of them are masterpieces with a minimum subscription of 6,000, and one of them has an average subscription of 17,000.

Gu Qingshi invested 470 million yuan including tips and writing fees, and made back about 220 million yuan. He is also negotiating an IP license for about 60 yuan.

It was also through these books that Gu Qingshi realized that there was such a serious divide among online writers.

She only made 1.7 to 120 yuan for a book with million words and average subscriptions. And a book with an average subscription of more than was even worse, earning only yuan, and losing all her pants.

Some online writers who followed the trend and started writing DND or writing fan fiction of these books are even worse off. Some of them don’t even make 2,000 yuan a month and live on the minimum living allowance for full attendance…

Although they were miserable, Gu Qingshi suddenly felt that these failed authors could be reused!

What a great cheap labor!

Gu Qingshi thought about it and said to Director Xu: "You guys just follow the work schedule first. Leave this matter to me."

After seeing Xu Qiu Sheng off, Gu Qingshi immediately called Li Xiaomeng to the office.

Li Xiaomeng ran to the office happily, stood at ease, stood at attention, and saluted Gu Qingshi.

Gu Qingshi ignored Li Xiaomeng's jokes and went straight to the point, "Xiaomeng, don't you like reading online novels? If there is a chance for you to read novels to your heart's content, would you do it?"

Li Xiaomeng did not doubt him and asked curiously: "Of course, why not..."

A smile appeared on Gu Qingshi's face.

"Okay, Comrade Li Xiaomeng, the organization has decided to let you build a new online novel website!"

Chapter 212 [Cat Reading Essay Contest]

Li Xiaomeng was very interested in this proposal.

As we all know, there are two ways to write online articles. One is to post it directly on the Internet. The other is to submit it to the editor by email, which is referred to as "internal submission".

And she, Li Xiaomeng, also has a dream of becoming a writer.

At that time, Li Xiaomeng sneered at the author with 500 average subscriptions. Isn't it just writing a novel? How difficult is that!? I can write better than them even if I stick two green onions in my nostrils and dip them in sauce!

So, Li Xiaomeng confidently submitted her "masterpiece" to the editor.

Finally, on a rainy night in the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, her dream was ruined when the editor rejected her manuscript three times.

There was no thanks, no settling down, no meeting at the top, only a reply from the editor that was as if she was begging for mercy on her knees - begging Li Xiaomeng not to submit to her again.

So when Gu Qingshi asked her to create an online literature website, Li Xiaomeng was a little nervous.

She can't write novels!

"You are here to build a website, not to be an author. What are you afraid of?"
