This game is awesome

There are actually quite a few people posting on forums and the like asking about the admission requirements for Miskatonic University, and whether an English proficiency test is required.

As a result, rumors spread, and some parents went to the teachers who guided the application and selection of majors to ask whether their children could be admitted to the University of Michigan...

These are all later stories, so let’s put them aside for now.

According to Gu Qingshi, the daily visitor volume of the Michigan University Library has reached 50,000, and most of them are players of Fanxing.

They clicked on it after seeing the link in Fanxing’s news feed.

After clicking in, most people confusedly searched in the search bar for the information leaked by "Uncle Gu".

"Dragon Pass" and "Baldur's Gate".

Gu Qingshi gave a detailed introduction to these entries, and after reading them, you can quickly jump to another entry:

"Forgotten Realms"

This is to allow interested players to have a preliminary understanding of the settings of DND.

However, Gu Qingshi does not intend to make Baldur's Gate a niche carnival that "can only be entered after reading the settings and rule book."

If this is done, it would be tantamount to moving the entire board game onto the screen, which is not conducive to players' play and does not conform to market trends.

A true IP-adapted masterpiece is something that even outsiders who know nothing about it can play.

IP is just the icing on the cake; gameplay and content are the real selling points.

At least many of Gu Qingshi's friends in her previous life had never been exposed to the rules of DND, were not clear about the various judgments and reactions, and did not know how to calculate numbers, but they could still play "Baldur's Gate 3" with great interest.

After playing the game, they will have a better impression of DND, an old IP, and be willing to learn about its content.

IP should not be a threshold for playing games, the two are always complementary.

......

......

Li Xiaomeng lay on the sofa like a salted fish, turned over and sighed sadly.

"Boss, when will my vacation arrive?"

Before the college entrance examination, Gu Qingshi promised her several days of paid vacation, but it has not been fulfilled until now.

Although she needs it anyway.

"tomorrow."

"real!?"

Li Xiaomeng's eyes lit up.

"Yes, let's go to the Magic City to play."

Li Xiaomeng's face fell instantly.

It sounds nice to say that I'm going on vacation in Shanghai, but in reality, don't I still have to go to work?

The World Game Expo will be held in Shanghai next week. Tang Manyan went there last month to decorate the Starry Exhibition Area on behalf of Gu Qingshi.

This year was the first World Game Expo, and it was held in a hurry, but the Shanghai government still put a lot of effort into planning the exhibition. All major game manufacturers in the country were invited to participate in the exhibition, and except for a few game companies from Citigroup that collectively boycotted and did not come, the rest chose to participate.

It can be said that heroes from all directions gathered together and heroes from four continents gathered together.

The "Best Game of the Year" at the exhibition is secondary. What is more important is to take this opportunity to show your face to the world and showcase your new games, which will facilitate the subsequent entry into domestic or foreign markets.

Since we are here to show off, the bigger the noise, the better.

According to a person familiar with the matter, Yungong invited quite a few video hosts and anchors with millions of fans to collaborate with them, and also invited dozens of professional cosplayers to appear on the scene wearing game character equipment.

There were even women's clothing designers on site.

They really understand what players want to see.

In order to compete with such a despicable opponent, Gu Qingshi naturally would not lose out.

Pretty girl? I will go on stage directly. Not only will I go on stage myself, but I will also bring Li Xiaomeng and your Pei E with me.

The main target is a Minotaur.

Now that the lineup is there, the momentum naturally cannot be lowered. Gu Qingshi invited a symphony orchestra to the scene to make it as grand as possible.

Gu Qingshi had just booked a flight to Shanghai when Tang Manyan called.

"Boss, the exhibition area has been designed..."

Tang Manyan's voice was weak, and she sounded frail and overworked. Gu Qingshi guessed that it was because of the argument with the organizer.

Gu Qingshi said guiltily, "Thank you for your hard work."

She asked Tang Manyan to strive for the largest possible exhibition area, which resulted in Tang being very busy these days - busy arguing with the organizers.

"Have you contacted the Lightspeed Symphony Orchestra?"

"We have contacted them. A whole orchestra of more than 50 people can come to the scene, but our exhibition area is still a bit small..."

"Just bear with them a little, if it doesn't work you can pay more!"

Tang Manyan was about to cry, "Boss, we can't add any more money, the funds are almost used up..."

Chapter 111 [On the eve of the opening]

"So, you must take me with you?"

Xu Qiu Sheng stood in the airport waiting hall with a wry smile, while Gu Qingshi and Li Xiaomeng were playing mobile games on massage chairs next to him.

He looks like an old father who is taking his daughter out...

"Director Xu, you have to go!"

Gu Qingshi rubbed the screen and said, "We are going to announce the new game Baldur's Gate. Director An is going, how can you be absent?"

This is a lie.

In fact, Gu Qingshi's real purpose in bringing Xu Qiu Sheng to the World Game Expo was to help Xu Qiu Sheng build up his reputation, and at the same time to build up Fanxing's reputation.

The internal reorganization of Gulang Technology has brought about quite a shock to the industry. Except for Yungong Xiaokaihua, other manufacturers are more or less regretful about the withdrawal of former Gulang core members such as Xu Qiu Sheng.

The purpose of letting Xu Qiusheng attend the World Game Expo this time is similar to announcing the "return of the Dragon King"...

Xu Qiusheng left Gulang, so naturally the award for the best performer of the year was not given to Xu Qiusheng, but at this time:

Xu Qiu Sheng stood at the booth and announced that he would develop new works in Fanxing.

——Isn’t it just a naked declaration of war?

If the media exaggerates it a little bit and netizens exaggerate it a little bit, the plot of the Dragon King's return will be very popular!

Gu Qingshi would not miss this opportunity to take advantage of the popularity.

Of course, Gu Qingshi never said that she wanted to compete with Gu Lang. Everything was fabricated by the media. Please do not believe in unofficial news. It is recommended that all parties do not take it personally.

Gu Qingshi turned off the screen of her mobile phone and grabbed Li Xiaomeng's chubby face with an expressionless face.

“Ouch, it hurts!”

"Ticket check, stop playing your crappy game."

......

......

Compared to Gu Qingshi who was enjoying the relaxing and comfortable life, Tang Manyan who was far away in the Magic City was almost exhausted.

Magic City, Shanghai International Convention and Exhibition Center.

There are a total of sixteen exhibition halls in the convention and exhibition center, of which Halls 1 to 5 are for participating game companies, and Hall is the main stage for press conferences and award ceremonies.

Fanxing, Yungong, and Gulang are all in Hall 5.

At this time, the huge exhibition hall was still very empty, with only staff from various game or curatorial companies walking around.

The exhibition area of ​​Yun Palace is closest to the entrance. When you come in, you can see the heroic cosplayers. The exhibition area next to them is very spacious - big and empty.

Unlike Yun Palace, which has many sculptures of its own game characters, you can tell at a glance that it is Yun Palace's exhibition.

There is nothing on Fanxing's side except the Fanxing logo.

The area of ​​several hundred square meters is enclosed by railings, and there are several expensive-looking but unknown devices placed on the four corners.

And a booth stacked in the middle.

When others saw this, they were all scratching their heads, wondering what Fanxing was up to.

Tang Manyan was in the staff lounge of the convention and exhibition center, lying on the table, looking exhausted.

Next to her was Bai Jie, the chief planner of Xunyin Studio. Bai was ordered by Pei E to help Fanxing.

However, Bai Zhuce was completely unable to help these days. Before she could do anything, Tang Manyan had already solved the problem.

So much so that she is now doing her old job.

——Make hand-made lemonade.

Bai Jie looked at Xiao Tang's weak appearance and asked with concern: "How about taking a rest first?"

"Woo~" Tang Manyan cried out, "No, there is still a team of people that haven't been invited yet."

"besides!?"

Bai Jie was so shocked that her voice broke.

In the past few days, Tang Manyan has been on the phone from morning till night to negotiate contracts with people, including but not limited to: the organizer of the exhibition, the curator of the curatorial company, the expert group, the Light Speed ​​Symphony Orchestra, a fashion design studio, a construction company, a furniture factory, the Shanghai Anti-Japanese War and Military Museum, the Wargame Club...

Bai Zhuce had no idea why Tang Manyan contacted these unrelated companies and institutions at the same time.

Just like she couldn't understand how Tang Manyan saved "Eternal Life".

"How about taking a break first?"

Tang Manyan was very stubborn, "It's about to start, I can't hold the boss back..."

Bai Jie was a little surprised. Does this kid really treat the company as his own home?

Tang Manyan was still weakly dialing the phone, and looked up and asked:

"Sister Xiaobai, when will my boss come?"
