The Ten Years of Rebirth

Chapter 343 Hidden Words
When the phone was connected, it was Xu Niannian's voice on the other end.

"After the exam, hurry up and pick him up."

Xu Xing put down his phone and glanced at the screen, confirming that the call displayed on it was indeed Yan Chijiu's call.

"Why are you talking? Are you jealous?"

"She said she didn't want to call you." Xu Niannian teased, "Then I can only help you."

"..." Xu Xing was speechless, "What about you guys?"

"It's downstairs in the dormitory, come down."

"coming."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xing dragged his suitcase and walked out, and said by the way: "You guys have an appointment for a barbecue, let me know when the time comes, you can also ask her roommate first."

"OK, goodbye Brother Xu."

When he went downstairs, Xu Xing saw two girls in down jackets diagonally opposite, each with a suitcase waiting there.

Xu Xing stepped forward to say hello.

Yan Chijiu just nodded, and Xu Niannian stood behind him, shaking his head with his arms outstretched, as if he had failed.

"where to?"

"Sister Yuanyuan's house."

"It's not good to bother people all the time."

"Sister Yuanyuan is quite welcome."

Xu Xing didn't know what to do, so he stopped writing, took his two daughters, and drove Yanchi vinegar to Yao Yuanyuan's house first.

Yan Chijiu got out of the car and took the suitcase, watched Xu Xing drive away, took the key that Yao Yuanyuan had put here in advance from the security room, and then went into Yao Yuanyuan's house with ease.

By the way, give Yao Yuanyuan a call.

"Hello? Are you here?"

"Well, I'm here, when will you be back at night?"

"Oh, it might be late at night, you can arrange dinner yourself." Yao Yuanyuan said on the phone, "My mother is on a business trip, and Abin from my side will be back in the evening. I will pick him up at the airport, and he should eat outside in the evening. "

"Understood, then you should pay attention to safety on the road." After hanging up the phone, Yan Chijiu sat on the sofa in the living room, looked at the home that didn't belong to him, let out a breath slowly, and felt a little lonely.

In fact, perhaps she should accept sister Niannian's invitation and return to the rented house.

But her instinctive reaction still made her refuse.

Yao Yuanyuan and Pei Qinglan naturally didn't mind her coming to borrow, but after all, she was an outsider after all.

Yan Chijiu also thought about whether to find Yan Hongzhi and Qu Yaru and live there during the Chinese New Year.

But after all, they have their own home, and that home is not her home.

Although Qu Yaru treats her very well, if she is allowed to live there for a period of time, she always feels out of place.

After all, it was the most comfortable time when I lived with Xu Xing and Xu Niannian.

The place where I have only lived for more than half a year has a greater sense of belonging.

But who would have thought that what would happen next.

……

On the other side, Xu Xing drove back to the rented house, and Xu Niannian also returned to the room he had been away for a long time.

After packing up his luggage, Xu Niannian returned to the living room, sat down on the sofa, and said to Xu Xing who was boiling hot water, "What should I do? I won't come over."

"Take one step at a time." Xu Xing rubbed his brows, "The company is also busy during the Chinese New Year period, so let's do this for now."

"Busy?" Xu Niannian said, "Then I'll ask Jiajia to see if they can help. Anyway, I have nothing to do recently."

"Aren't you going to prepare for the re-examination for the postgraduate entrance examination?"

"If you can pass the written test, do you think there will be problems in the retest?" Xu Niannian rolled his eyes at him.

Although it is too straightforward to say so, as Mr. Xu's sister, and also worked as the director of the art department of Tianshu Games, no matter her identity or resume, she is enough to pass the re-examination of the design major.

As long as the written test can pass the standard, the tutor probably has to fight for Xu Niannian.

In the previous life, due to various family reasons, Xu Niannian did not choose to study in graduate school, and started working after graduating from undergraduate.

Later, he went around in various companies, and finally became independent, and opened a design studio with Yu Youjia, and his career was thriving.

So even without the halo of identity and experience, Xu Xing would not doubt Xu Niannian's own ability and level.

"Then let's go to the company." Xu Xing said, "Together."

After finishing the last class in the morning and returning to the rented room after lunch, it was still two o'clock in the afternoon when the two came to the company.

Xu Niannian didn't intend to continue to disturb him, and went to harass Yu Youjia after joining the company.

Xu Xing returned to his office and began to deal with the things accumulated in the past few days.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, various products are preparing for various activity updates related to the Chinese New Year.

Each game will have a corresponding Spring Festival event, which is the best time to lure users to krypton gold consumption.

After all, everyone has pocket money, and the group who mainly play games has the highest consumption level during this period.

But Gong Ao's mind is obviously not on this.

From the development and production of a game to the launch, to maintenance and operation and subsequent updates, people from the project team come and go. Gong Ao has always been a leaf, and basically does not care about subsequent updates.

Game maintenance and operation do not require too many developers. Generally speaking, some people are reserved, and the excess labor will be invested in new development projects.

If you like a more stable working environment, then stay in the project team of the old game, the salary and benefits are relatively stable, and the fluctuation will not be too big.

If you are more aggressive, then join the development team of a new game. Once the game is launched and is a big success, the first batch of bonuses are often the richest.

The high ones can even be worth one or two years of ordinary wages.

But for Gong Ao, bonuses are not the most attractive.

For him, when he gave up a lucrative high-paying job and joined Tianshu Games, he came to develop new games.

On this point, Mr. Xu from Qunxing has indeed been surprising him all the time.

Especially in the field of mobile games, although many themes and ideas come from end-games, Mr. Xu can always find a way of playing and operating that is more suitable for mobile games.

Give full play to the role of smart touch screen and finger interaction.

And this time, it goes a step further, pointing directly to end games, gun battles, battle royale, and big maps.

This is a completely different field from the previous mobile games.

The games that Gong Ao was in charge of in a certain degree before were basically the cheating type of web games. Although there were some guns, the quality was not to mention.

Now with the support of Mr. Xu, just to polish the gun feeling of shooting, I have been working from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, various debugging and error correction, accumulating experience, and enhancing the team's running-in degree.

Xu Xing was not in a hurry, and Gong Ao also played steadily.

In fact, it was not until around 2017 that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds in the previous life was officially launched, and there are still at least three years left.

Although there were similar Battle Royale shootout games before, they were only small-scale fan games, far from reaching the level of spreading to such a wide range as eating chicken.

To put it simply, as long as it is a game with a very wide audience, every order of magnitude increase is a compromise in terms of gameplay difficulty.

Games that have an absolute advantage in the number of users in later generations will generally be placed at the bottom of the chain of contempt by experienced game lovers.

This kind of thing is very common in various fields of entertainment arts.

For example, users of long video websites despise short videos.

Literary films look down on commercial films, and movies look down on TV dramas.

Stand-alone games look down on mobile games, and traditional literature looks down on online literature.

But the latter always has a larger audience than the former, even by several orders of magnitude.

Xu Xing has always been indifferent to this.

For him, whether it is a terminal game or a mobile game, as long as he likes to play it, it doesn't matter whether he is advanced or not.

So after dealing with the affairs, he called Gong Ao to the office, and Xu Xing took the initiative to take out a plan from the drawer and handed it to Gong Ao.

"On the special exercise side, the progress of the project doesn't need to be too fast, just polish it well." Xu Xing said, "You can take this plan back and have a look. You will have to work hard after the start of next year."

"New game?" Gong Ao didn't feel sleepy when he heard this, his eyes were squinted, he took the file with his eyes open, and he couldn't wait to look through it, "Is it a mobile game?"

"Yeah." Xu Xing nodded, "Have you played Dota and LOL?"

"I've played it." Gong Ao nodded again and again, and when he saw the title of the plan, he immediately came to his senses, "A mobile game version of MOBA?"

"Yes." Xu Xing said, "The 4G network and the follow-up mobile phone version should already be able to support slightly larger mobile games."

"If the performance of mobile phones is further improved in the future, it is not impossible to put this special exercise on the mobile phone."

"But that's all for later. You should finish the two models before you."

Gong Ao nodded and sat down on the sofa, watching with relish.

He has played a lot of MOBA-like client games, the most famous of which are of course Dota and LOL, which can be regarded as the relationship between father and son in terms of gameplay.

However, the pure game mechanism itself is not included in the patent protection. If Tianshu Games is to be a MOBA on the mobile phone, it is indeed not a problem.

It's just that it is obviously unrealistic to copy the operation method of MOBA on the computer to the mobile phone.

There is neither a mouse nor a keyboard on the mobile phone, so it is necessary to redesign a set of operation schemes that combine mobile phone usage habits according to the properties of the mobile phone itself.

On this point, Gong Ao has never doubted Mr. Xu.

Especially after seeing that even the clear UI operation interface was drawn in the planning case, and the function of each button was clearly marked, Gong Ao could only tsk tsk in amazement.

Compared with other game companies, the hidden absolute advantage of Tianshu Games is that the planning plan provided by Mr. Xu is too detailed.

In the early stage of many games, it is always necessary to slowly explore, trial and error, modify, and argue endlessly around a problem.

However, Mr. Xu's plans can always frame the direction of game development within a reasonable range, and even directly give a definite answer, instead of talking about abstract concepts like some game bosses.

What about "the game style should be more western-style, but also incorporate oriental characteristics", or "the game mode should be interesting, with a certain degree of difficulty, but not particularly difficult".

In short, it is outrageous Party A's request for cerebral palsy.

Whereas Mr. Xu directly gives the clearest details of the plan, the people under him only need to fill in the content and follow the steps.

"Game background...Eastern and Western mythological camps...huh?" After reading the previous settings about the gameplay and operation, Gong Ao saw the settings about the game background, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh, "This seems to be a little bit like the birth of a myth. picture?"

"It's the same background story." Xu Xing said, "Moba mobile games will be in an awkward position if they are just launched."

"Players who can play MOBA end games may not be able to see the castrated version of mobile games, and players who don't know how to play MOBA will find it difficult to get started."

"But if we can inherit some of the content of our old games, at least it can reduce the strangeness of players in new games."

Speaking of this, Xu Xing paused for a moment, and then added, "For example, character skills, Zhu Rong in Myth Comes into the World, his basic attack is magic damage, so he can be positioned as a mage in MOBA."

"Then skills can also be magically modified according to the settings in the mythical world."

"For example, the first skill is the fireball in the myth, the second skill is a fire pit, and the ultimate move is a sea of ​​fire falling from the sky."

"On the one hand, it saves content resources, on the other hand, it can ensure the number of players in the early stage of the new game, and cooperate with the promotional channels of the stars, at least to ensure that the MOBA game can be matched."

After all, in this kind of 5v5 battle game, it would be very embarrassing if you can't match your opponent all the time, and you are very discouraged.

After hearing this, Gong Ao nodded deeply, he was a little accustomed to Mr. Xu's foresight in this regard.

To be honest, Gong Ao even doubted that Mr. Xu had already been preparing to pave the way for this new game when the myth came into being.

Especially the background of the game, how can ordinary mobile games have the time to go deep into this.

But Mr. Xu actually decided to find a group of history major graduates who specialize in this field in the project team of Myths Coming into the World. The main thing is to build the world view.

The confrontation and struggle between Eastern and Western mythological characters happens to be divided into two camps, which are the red and blue sides in MOBA.

Defense towers are totems, crystals are god statues, equipment is artifacts, wild monsters are monsters in various myths and legends, such as Shan Hai Jing and the like.

This setting can be said to have a good shape.

But MOBA games... This is the same as gunfight games, it is a huge pit, especially in terms of balance, it is a huge problem.

Looking at it like this, I have to work overtime again until my head is bald.

Fortunately, Gong Ao was full of energy, carefully read the planning proposal twice, and after communicating with Mr. Xu, he walked out of the office with the planning proposal and prepared to choose the lucky one from the project team of the old game. The team is formed.

……

In the evening, after Xu Xing finished his work, he returned home with Xu Niannian, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

Xu Niannian ran to take a shower, and Xu Xing walked into the bedroom to tidy up the suitcase he brought back in the afternoon.

Put all the clothes in the closet, and throw the unwashed ones into the washing machine later.

Put the sundries on the desk... um... this thing...

Xu Xing saw the mobile phone case he brought back, and inside it was the little star stuffed by Yan Chi vinegar in the sachet.

At the beginning, he was still a ghost, and he removed one or two, but he didn't see anything inside.

But this time, Xu Xing took the phone case and sat down at the table, having nothing to do, he took out all the little stars inside with a bit of a cheap hand, and took them apart one by one.

As a result, when it came to the penultimate lesson, his face was startled, he didn't expect that there were words written on it.

If you look closely, you can see that it is a poem.

"If the two feelings last for a long time, how can they be in the same day and night."

Recalling that the two hadn't confirmed their relationship at the beginning, Yan Chijiu gave her this sachet, and there was such a sentence secretly hidden in it, which obviously contained the beautiful wish deep in her heart.

It's just that I failed in the end...

Xu Xing stroked the words on it, feeling restless.

In the end, he simply got up, shook his heavy head, put on his down jacket and walked out of the bedroom.

"I'm going out for a walk."

"Ah?" Xu Niannian's doubtful voice came from the bathroom, "You still go out after this?"

　[Friendship py]: "Returning files is not for that kind of thing"——

　　"Would you believe me when I said I just came back from the future a few hours away?"

　　As soon as Xia Mu finished speaking, Mu Jin, who had just finished breakfast, raised her head in surprise, "Are you sleepy?"

　　"Although it's a bit presumptuous, I'd like to confirm that today is white, right?" Xia Mu asked seriously.

　　"You! What are you talking about?" Mu Jin blushed, crumpled the tissue in her hand and threw it at it.

　　The ball of paper hit his face, Xia Mu sighed: "You misunderstood, I did this to save mankind..."
