Build a gaming empire from scratch

"A cash transport truck for a casino?" Lin You was puzzled: "Are they going against the casino?"

"Xiaomeng doesn't know."

Lin You thought about the matter at hand, and decided to go to Fan Rui first.

He had seen enough of the liveliness of simple player fights yesterday.

It's just that as soon as he arrived at the virtual office where Fan Rui's team was located, he saw everyone staring at a huge monitor with rapt attention.

In the video on the monitor, a long row of cars parked outside the Continental Hotel, and a group of gunmen wearing mahjong masks got off at the same time.

Then there was no nonsense, and the lobby of the Continental Hotel was shot.

"Damn!" Lin You was also very surprised, and couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Xiaomeng, didn't you say that the gangsters went to rob the cash truck in the casino? Why are they here at the Continental Hotel?"

Xiaomeng also cooperated with her and lowered her voice, and replied in a whisper: "These people are not the gangsters who robbed the casino yesterday. Xiaomeng just wanted to tell the owner that they were the ones who planned to attack the Continental Hotel yesterday." people."

"It means that there are two waves of gangsters doing things at the same time at the same time, and the group attacking the Continental Hotel is someone else pretending to be?"

"That's right!" Xiaomeng affirmed, "It's fake."

"Okay..." Lin You was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was nothing surprising.

——There is nothing the players can't do.

"Let them go."

Lin You stepped forward and patted Fan Rui on the shoulder, waking him up from watching the excitement.

It's the same process as Shen Ping's. Let's talk about the virtual concert first, and then look at the selection of honorary players.

The final result of Fan Rui's discussion was that 100 of the 40 honorary players were given to the top 40 players in the [Killer Ranking].

The reason is: "It's only been a week since the game was officially launched. The online time of the players is exaggerated, and there is very little exploration in other areas. The main energy is on the completion of the main task. Therefore, it is difficult to avoid the selection of honorary players in the first round. This one."

【Killer Ranking】, it will be officially unlocked only after the player completes the main mission.

And now the [Killer Ranking Battle] has not yet started, the current killer ranking is almost the order in which players clear the main task.

Only a small number of those who rank high and have completed many reward tasks in mainland hotels, or happen to kill players who rank much higher than themselves, will improve their rankings.

But according to the data given by Fan Rui, at least 40 of the top 6 have changed their rankings, and the overall changes are very small.

"After a month, the players will be familiar with Night City and have explored more ways to play. When the time comes for the selection of honorary players, we will appropriately reduce this part of the quota." Fan Rui finally explained.

"OK." Lin You nodded in approval.

After that, I went to the game development world of Xiaochun's team, found Xiaoxia, an intern, and notified her of the arrangement of the virtual concert.

By the way, I also took a look at the development progress of the new game.

It's just that in the new game, something happened that seems a bit outrageous to Lin You.

Along with the development of this game, its name has been vacillating, and the name of the development world has always been [Cube World (tentative)].

In this process, "Infinite World", "Building the World", "Creator God", "Endless Journey", "My Homeland", "Free World"... one name after another was proposed and rejected.

Until now, the main body of the game is finally completed, and everyone's energy is about to turn to the world of modules, but it is still not really settled.

In the end, Xiaochun had to vote for all names to have a fair competition.

The result is "My World", with a slight advantage of only two votes, defeated the No.2 "Cube World", which has been called Shunkou by everyone.

—— Lin You also saw that the ranking was almost at the end of "Mini World".

While he felt it was funny, he could also understand it: in the virtual reality mode, the game world was astonishingly large, and it was reasonable that the name "Mini" was not recognized by everyone.

However, after going around in a big circle, he returned to the original point, and Lin You was somewhat dumbfounded.

Of course, this is just from his own perspective.

In fact, because his right to speak in Yunmeng is too high, if he is inclined, the name he said may become the final name.

And he intends to give the right to name the game to the development team, so he has deliberately never mentioned the name "Minecraft" in public, at most he just thinks about it in his heart.

Therefore, this is really the result of the employees of the development team who came up with it themselves, and after a fair vote...

Xiaochun also explained their thoughts: "After the game is released, the players' own game world is completely dominated by themselves. Everyone's world is different from others. For players, the game is called "My World", which is very appropriate."

"And after opening the online connection, players can directly display [XX's World] when they go online to visit their friends, which is not only convenient, but also gives players more motivation to build their own world."

Lin You could only nod his head again and again: "Well, you are right, what a good name."

For the rest of the morning, Lin You joined the "Minecraft" development team, and together with the intern Xiao Xia, participated in the design of the particle effects of the battle magic.

And as always, the development speed of any design team that Lin You joins will immediately soar.

It was just lunch time, and the six-person team completed the scheduled work for the whole day, and went offline for dinner in a happy mood.

Of course, Lin You was no exception. He went to eat with a sense of accomplishment from hard work—even though he actually worked for less than an hour and a half.

In the restaurant, he also met Zhong Chang.

Zhong Chang has already fully figured out the boss's personality, and he has long since lost the nervousness he felt when he first joined the job.

Without hesitation, he sat across from Lin You and opened his mouth and said, "Boss, NetDragon is going to release DLC."

"I know, "Red Flame", what's the matter?" Lin You looked away from the phone, and asked a little puzzled.

"Aren't we going to do something?" Zhong Chang was eager to try.

"Do something?"

"I can do a lot of things! For example, hold a big event in the game with rich rewards and not to be missed, so that all players stay in the virtual world and have no time to play their DLC." Zhong Chang felt that he could come up with something. A bunch of methods against NetDragon.

It is true that he is a pure worker, but he thinks that if it is a boss like Lin You, he can have a little personal relationship.

Based on "personal friendship", it is also possible to help out with ideas.

Lin You blinked: "This is the official end of the last part of the "Flame" series, a fond memory of countless players."

Zhong Chang also blinked, seeming to be more confused than Lin You: "So?"

From the looks of it, he didn't seem to understand that the player's fond memories had something to do with Yunmeng's targeting of Netdragon.

"This DLC is the feelings of the players." Lin You had to speak more bluntly.

"Feelings?" Zhong Dagong Chang did not accept this rhetoric, "Isn't that the rhetoric used by capitalists to cheat money?"

In Zhong Chang's eyes, any propaganda and packaging by capitalists in the name of feelings should be regarded as moral kidnapping and cutting leeks.

"It's really not this time..." Lin You tried to explain, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was unnecessary.

After all, what he planned to do was not much better than what Zhong Chang had in mind...

It just so happened that Zhong Chang's order arrived, so Lin You quickly ended the topic: "Dinner, I've already prepared for NetDragon. You can wait and see the excitement the day after tomorrow."

Zhong Chang then stopped talking, and the two of them faced each other and ate their own food.

Lin You still didn't talk about table manners. While eating, he kept staring at his mobile phone and watching the battle in Night City.

On the screen of the phone, Xiaomeng cut the picture into two parts: one part is the "fake gangster" attacking the mainland hotel, and the other part is the "real gangster" robbing the cash truck of the casino.

Of course, up to the present, the content on the screen is no longer the original situation.

Now it has completely turned into a big melee between players and players, players and NPCs.

And both sides are...

Things have developed to the present, and Lin You finally began to be a little puzzled: What are these people thinking?
I just played all night yesterday, and today I have been playing all morning, and there is no sign of it ending...

Where does your energy come from?

Especially the players from the Continental Hotel.

After fighting this for so long, I should have discovered long ago: killing the hemp bandits is not a reward, and there is no reward, right?
At this time, even if they cooperated to fight the Continental Hotel together, it would be much more reasonable than messing up in a mess now, at least the Continental Hotel has a super-large safe.

But they don't, they just want to fight together, and they are even blocking the player's resurrection point to kill!
