Reboot 2003

Chapter 230 009: Family (two in one)

In fact, it's not something strange.

Just players’ emails. For game companies, they receive a large number of player emails every day.

Some of them offer opinions, some vent their emotions by swearing, and some pretend to be tax cheats. Generally, there are not many who give serious opinions.

And because of the particularity of game design - the most critical issue is that players cannot take the blame - these opinions can usually only be used as a standard to reflect whether players like or dislike a piece of content.

If you want to give developmental advice, even if it is really good, it can only be used as a reference.

However, there was indeed one such player's opinion email recently, which the company took seriously.

The specific reason is not that what he said was particularly good. It seems to be very similar to the modification direction proposed by Mr. Chen. Because it is not important, customer service generally does not pay special attention to such emails providing opinions. However, one day before, a value in the company I planned to talk to the customer service lady about recent development issues. The customer service lady said, "Hey, I saw a player writing this two days ago."

As a result, it turned out that this address had made many suggestions one after another, and it was indeed very similar to what Mr. Chen said.

I accidentally let slip today that Qiao Yongping forwarded a bunch of emails.

Chen Qin took a breath after reading this - this was indeed an opinion raised by a player. After all, they said, "I am an ordinary player. I have been playing "Three Kingdoms Online" recently and I have the following opinions on the game..."

Then the content was indeed the same as what Chen Qin said, and more than that.

For example, today's opinion not only mentions views on asymmetrical competition, but also views on free trading.

Although the direction of the explanation is wrong. For example, the other party suggested that the tradability of paid social items should be enhanced, which would be more beneficial to players. This is obviously a bit too idealistic. For players who focus on games, paid items are There is no difference between buying from the official and buying from players. What Chen Qin was talking about before was actually in another field, but the other party made such a mistake and openly sent the email to the company...

It's like a poor student copied his homework and then made up a messy answer.

not to mention……

The concept of asymmetrical competition only became a buzzword in the industry after games such as Future Daybreak appeared and became popular.

Historically, in the 00s, although there were certain practices in the field of online games, they were almost not systematic, and no one would write this term directly in an email to a game company, assuming that the other party knew what it meant.

So why is this happening?The answer is simple.

After all... I felt something was wrong when I heard it just now.

I took a look at other previous emails and found that there were many similar opinions in them. The content I told Mr. Chen had a 90.00% duplication check rate, and even the dates were correct.

As for why...

The name that sent the email is[email protected], wo.com is the email address of Galaxy Mailbox.

And this Yue...

Chen Qin sat on the bench and looked at the screen, his face gloomy for a while.

Naturally, the meeting cannot continue.Qiao Yongping had already guessed the problem, so he sent a private message: "Boss, is he someone close to you? Do you want someone from the galaxy to check the IP?"

"No need, I know who it is. It's probably a friend's child. It's a private matter."

Chen Qin's words were unclear, and Qiao Yongping didn't ask any more questions. Afterwards, Chen Qin exited the program and made a phone call, but he didn't get through.

"Alas." The young Xiao Chen sighed, "This is really a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple!"

Wang Yinglan asked him: "Are you done?"

"Grandma, let me go out for a while. Where are the basement and bicycle keys?"

"Are you going to go out for exercise now?" Grandma pressed pause and got up from the sofa chair, "I forgot where I put it..."

"Hurry up, grandma, I'm suddenly in a hurry and have to go find Song Ziyun."

Grandma looked for the key from the drawer without asking any questions. Chen Qin took the key and mobile phone and went out. He went to the basement of the unit building and pushed out a dusty variable-speed bicycle.

For middle school students in this era, variable-speed bicycles are probably a new technological and fashionable gadget. After Chen Qin graduated this year, Lao Chen bought him one as a graduation gift.

It's just that Xiao Chen cherishes his life and doesn't dare to play with meat-wrapped iron stuff. This car has been basically unused since he got it. It was recently thrown into the basement and collected a layer of dust.

After unlocking the car and patting the dust on the seat, Chen Qin pedaled his bicycle and hurried out of the unit door.

The sun has completely set and there are no taxis on the street.Longshan is a small prefecture-level city, and it's time to take a rest.

Chen Qin rode his bicycle and called while walking: "Song Ziyun? Oh, Aunt Song, can you call Song Ziyun? It's urgent..."

Soon after arriving at the gate of the printing factory, Song Ziyun came down wearing a white shirt: "It's so damn cold!"

"Hurry up, where is Guo Yang's family?"

Chen Qin asked when they met, and Song Ziyun was confused: "Why are you looking for him so late?"

"I am busy."

"Doesn't he have a cell phone?"

"He is afraid that his parents will find out that the house is closed." Chen Qin urged, "Hurry!"

Song Ziyun was a little confused and couldn't understand the directions as before - "This road turns that way, then turn this way, go to the next intersection and keep going forward for a while..."

"Stop talking, sit back and point it out to me!"

"Hey, I'll put on a coat..."

"That's too late!"

Chen Qin dragged Song Ziyun into the car and set off quickly. Guo Yang's house was not far away, just two blocks away.

Song Ziyun was already sneezing from the cold when he got downstairs. When they got downstairs from Guo Yang's house, the two of them shouted at the top of their lungs: "Guo Yang! Guo Yang!"

Guo Yang saw it from the window and quickly came down: "What's wrong? I'm doing my homework..."

Chen Qin grabbed him and asked, "What's Ayue's phone number?"

"Ayue? She did tell me on the phone..." Guo Yang went home again and came out with his mobile phone, "What's the matter?"

"Something may have happened to her, I have to find her quickly!"

Chen Qin spoke angrily and immediately dialed the number.

The two friends stood nearby confused. After dialing, they found that it was a Lin'an number.

It got through after a while.

"Hello." A cold girl's voice came, and it turned out to be Ah Yue.

"Ayue? I'm Chen Qin."

"Ah, Chen Qin, I told you my number last time, and I thought you had forgotten it." A Yue said.

The two friends next to him stared at Chen Qin sharply when they heard what the other person said.

Chen Qin said: "I'm with Song Ziyun and Guo Yang now."

The two people nearby also said hello on the phone. A Yue apologized: "I encountered something this afternoon and I didn't have time to tell you. I'm really sorry."

The two said they were fine, and Chen Qin asked, "Where are you? Have you come out of the police station?"

Guo Yang and Song Ziyun also asked: "Are you okay?"

A Yue said: "I'm out."

Chen Qin continued to ask: "Have you returned to school?"

A Yue replied: "I may not go back to school."

The two people next to them were confused: "Huh? Are you really arrested?"

Ayue cleared her throat.

"Sorry, I didn't tell you before..."

She said seriously: "Actually, my true identity is the only daughter of the chairman of a multinational group. I recently ran away from home and came to Longshan No. [-] Middle School, but I have not actually severed ties with my family."

Guo Yang couldn't believe it: "Really or not? Then you are leaving today?"

A Yue said: "The person who disturbed everyone today is my father's former subordinate. Recently, my father was ill. He came to me and asked me to come back and participate in the family management." As she spoke, she sniffed: "So I I have to go. I am very happy to have spent time with you all recently. I wish you all the best in the future. Goodbye!"

But Chen Qin stopped him: "Hey, wait, don't worry, where did you say you are?"

"I'm already in the car. Uncle Liu specially drove to pick me up..."

"Don't get on blind man Xiong's shady car! As soon as you hear it, someone will lie to you with something in the novel. Please tell me where you are." Chen Qin threatened, "If you don't tell us, we will call the police."

"No, don't call the police..."

A man's voice came from the other side of the phone, and Ah Yue explained: "I'm really not a bad person. Uncle Liu is my uncle and he was very good to me in the past. To confirm, the police station called my aunt..."

"You must stop immediately, otherwise we will call the police. The person who stole the basketball during the day has not been found yet. Who knows if it was you?" Chen Qin insisted for some reason, "I heard your horn blaring over there. It should still be in Longshan City, we will be here in 10 minutes, please tell me the location."

The man opposite asked: "You were the one who reported the crime during the day?"

"Yes, it's me."

Although the atmosphere was a bit unpleasant, the man opposite finally gave him an address, which was actually at the entrance of a hotel near the school.

Chen Qin picked up the bicycle and was about to leave. He looked back at his two friends and said, "What are you doing standing there, get on the bike quickly!"

"No, Chen Qin, what on earth is going on?"

"I made it very clear just now, A Yue is going to be captured by unknown people, and we have to rescue her." Chen Qin explained.

The other two people hesitated to speak. When did you become so interested in her?Besides, they themselves said it was fine, and I heard on the phone that there was no problem.

Of course, these questions can be considered later, but there is still one most important question...

"Are you sure A Yue was captured by bad guys?"

"The person with him now is the thief who was caught during the day." Chen Qin said, "That person is sneaky and probably not here to do good things. We can't let A Yue be taken away by him."

Guo Yang asked: "But didn't that person get in by us... or something...?"

Song Ziyun was curious: "What is that?"

Guo Yang thought for a while and whispered: "Actually, I didn't lose the basketball at all during the day."

Song Ziyun was shocked: "What?"

"That's because the other party is very suspicious." Chen Qin explained, "When I was in class, I saw that person sneaking around and asking for information, so I used the excuse of losing the basketball to ask the police station to deal with him, but the police station did not find it. He has a problem, what do you think this means?"

"Does this mean he is actually a good person?"

"It means he hasn't had time to do bad things yet." Chen Qin said seriously, "Now he has exposed his fox tail, and Ayue doesn't look very smart at first glance. We have to rescue her."

It sounded reasonable. The other two people were convinced by his reasoning and got into the car in a daze - Song Ziyun quickly rode on the back seat of Chen Qin's bicycle, and Guo Yang also carried an old Feige out from his house.

The two bicycles rushed out of the compound, across the road, and on the usual way to school.

At the intersection going to school, I turned in an unfamiliar direction.

The wind was blowing, and Song Ziyun sneezed fiercely, but the sound of the bicycle slowed down. The front reached the promised place, which was a hotel. There was an Audi parked in front of the hotel. A Yue stood there, during the day The man in black is also nearby.

Next to them were two adults wearing work safety uniforms. They watched two bicycles carrying three teenagers parked on the side of the road. The three got off the bike and ran over quickly.

"Hello, we are A Yue's classmates."

After meeting, Chen Qin nodded to the adults. The two security workers stood beside him without saying a word or explaining much. They seemed to have a good understanding of the previous situation. The man in the black windbreaker had already taken off his mask, but still wore it. Wearing sunglasses: "Hello, you are the Chen Qin, right?"

Chen Qin said: "I am Chen Qin who called just now. Who are you?"

The two men in work safety uniforms at the back didn't know what they were thinking of and whispered to each other. A Yue stood there, staring at Chen Qin with her eyes in the darkness, but did not come up to talk to him.

The man in black took out a business card and handed it to Chen Qin, but did not criticize him: "Hello, I am A Yue's uncle Liu Jun, and I am also her father's subordinate. This time, I represent A Yue's family, and I am here to pick her up. She's back in Lin'an, thank you for caring about her."

He wanted to shake hands with several children, but Chen Qin did not extend his hand: "Are you her guardian?"

"Her guardian is not here, but we came to pick her up with the authorization of her guardian."

The worker at the side couldn't stand it anymore. He folded his arms and pointed at the side: "You children deserve praise for their courage, but we have confirmed with her and her guardian that Mr. Liu is indeed from her family. people."

"Are you sure her guardian agrees?" Chen Qin asked, "Her parents agree?"

"Her parents are not in the country for the time being..."

"Chen Qin, you misunderstood." A Yue finally couldn't help but stepped forward, "Thank you for coming to see me, but I am not actually a native of Lin'an. I ran away from home without authorization before. Uncle Liu is my cousin, and One of the people my dad trusts the most, he came all the way to take me back.”

Manager Liu, who was wearing sunglasses, shook his head helplessly. These students could only communicate among themselves.A Yue said apologetically to the three of them: "I'm sorry to make your trip in vain, but I really have to leave. I have something to do at home now, so I have to go back. If I have a chance in the future, I will come back to see you."

Chen Qin said: "We are not afraid that you will not come back, but to be honest, this Manager Liu is dressed up in a sneaky way and is still looking for people in our school secretly. Now he is saying that he is not your guardian at all. What is in his hand?" The guardian's authorization was not given by your parents, so how can anyone believe this?"

The worker security guard next to him tried to explain: "This is how their big family is. There were seven or eight calls from our office before, including calls from the Beijing government, calls from national newspapers, and calls from our superiors. They said we arrested the wrong person, and we were all frightened."

Another worker said: "In any case, he is not a bad person. It is good that you have this intention, but don't be too nervous."

"Then her family's company is in trouble?" Chen Qin pointed at A Yue and asked, "Since her family is in business, she should have a family fund office or the company's external relations department. Now since it is her family's Shangshi, if she doesn’t call home, what use will the capital government and the national newspaper do?”

The two workers scratched their heads, and Ah Yue whispered: "That's because my family has encountered some things recently that require me to step in. My parents can't get away now, so I have to go back quickly. Anyway, don't ask. La."

Chen Qin shook his head: "I understand what you are saying. If it were someone else, I would definitely not say so much."

"What do you mean?"

"You must not be named 'A', right?"

A Yue hesitated to answer and just nodded.

Chen Qin asked again: "How did you go to Longshan No. [-] Middle School in the first place? You can't go to school normally if you leave home early. All school admissions require the signature of a guardian."

A Yue hesitated and said: "My aunt went through the procedures for me. She is now my acting guardian."

Chen Qin said: "So you, a Lin'an native, went to a middle school in Zanlong Mountain with the consent of your guardian, but you still dare not use your real name. Why do I think this is not called running away from home, but should be called hiding your name to avoid the limelight?"

A Yue froze. When Manager Liu heard this, he seemed a little unable to listen: "Three students, thank you for caring so much, but we really have to leave. As you have seen, we have already said hello to the police station. As A-Yue's elder, I guarantee that A-Yue can reach Lin'an safely. Can I ask her to call you when we get to Lin'an? But now the family matter is very urgent, we have to go!"

As he was about to take Ah Yue into the car, Ah Yue lowered his head and said sorry hastily. Guo Yang and Song Ziyun took a step forward, but they didn't know how to stop each other - after all, whether it was true or false, this Everything is their own family affairs. Since A Yue herself said that there is nothing wrong with her, what can others say.

However, Chen Qin still said: "Wait a minute, Ah Yue."

Ah Yue finally turned around, her eyes vaguely filled with expectation, but at a loss.

"Is your family a gamer?"

A Yue's eyes became focused. She stood outside the car and asked after a moment of silence: "How do you know?"

"You peek at my game analysis data every day, and you also said in class that you like pixel art. It is a cultural product in the gaming field, and few outsiders like it." Chen Qin stood on the spot and said, "Besides, who is running TRPG in general? Will you only use a copy of "Wild World" without expansions? This is a lightweight and general-purpose fantasy setting book, but people in the industry often use it as a reference when making concept settings."

A Yue frowned, but nodded and admitted: "My father is indeed a gamer."

"Miss……"

Manager Liu reminded her, but Ah Yue still refused to get in the car.

Chen Qin continued to ask her: "Your family has done a good job in playing games. What's the use of calling you, a little girl who is not yet an adult? You are hiding here anonymously. Maybe it is a security risk to show your face. Now I ask you to go back." , can you write code? Can you write plans? Do you know management and marketing? Do you have any upstream and downstream connections?"

A Yue was about to speak, but Chen Qin said: "It's not that I want to know how your family's business is done, but I think as a child of the family, you should hide here well now. If anything happens, you'll be the last person. Fortunately, the person in charge of your family tells you what to do, and you do it no matter what. If you show your face everywhere and get yourself into other troubles, I think it will not only be of no use, but it will also drag down your family. .”

A Yue suddenly opened Manager Liu's hand: "Then I won't go."

Manager Liu was shocked: "Miss, this party is really..."

"Chen Qin is right, I won't go." A Yue turned around and said to Manager Liu, "Uncle Liu, please go back. If it is really necessary, please ask them to go to Meilijian to talk to their mother."

"But……"

"It's nothing, Chen Qin, thank you for telling me this. I know what I should do. Let's go!"

A Yue turned around and came to the side of three peers. Manager Liu caught up with her, but two boys stood in front of A Yue. Song Ziyun and Guo Yang were confused, but they probably knew what to do at this time, and immediately He was blocked; while Chen Qin was hiding behind and was already calling the New Era.
