Reboot 2003

Chapter 289 068: Fast Lane ([-]-in-[-])

"Who?"

"It's called icefrog."

"……real or fake?"

"Anyway, that's what they said over there. Your Uncle Li will contact you in a few days."

A Yue was doubtful. A few days ago, she was still worrying about a minor coding task. Now, suddenly, so many good things are coming to her door. She needs people and people, money and money, and resources and channels are lining up to deliver them to her door. This Is it the feeling of riding the express train of commercialization?

This is not unfamiliar. This was the case the last time she made a flash game. At that time, she was on the express train of Kuaikan Media. Kuaikan Media has a market value of hundreds of millions and has no shortage of connections and resources. For a small project, It's enough.

But what I got on board this time was... how to describe it.

Well, I got on the Galaxy Software Express. Although it didn't look as grand as before, it still had everything it should have, and there wasn't that much to do. I wouldn't rush to do her job, but she could think of it. , There are all kinds of things you can’t think of, which sounds a bit fantasy.

Ah Yue thought about it, still a little unbelievable.

"Is it really icefrog?"

"I guess it's true. I heard that there are too many cheats in Dota now, and the capacity of Warcraft's map editor cannot exceed 4mb. Icefrog recently intends to accept some commercial cooperation while ensuring the independence of the game, so he and you Domestic demons wander quite close.”

Chen Qin said, and even taught her a decent lesson: "Look at people who have been doing it for so many years, they all know that there is no future in following Blizzard. This is like choosing a tree to live in, but you are still clinging to that crappy map editor. …”

Ah Yue pouted, but when she talked about Moyou.com, she remembered the news she saw yesterday: "Then what..."

"what?"

"I also heard that there will be a competition soon."

"Oh, Xiao Gao, right?"

"It's not Brother Gao. Brother Gao and the others are just an Internet cafe competition, but they seem to have launched a national e-sports competition recently..."

"Oh, you were talking about your own event on Moyou.com."

"Right..." A Yue asked, "I heard that I decided to do it suddenly."

"Hmm..." Chen Qin nodded and added, "Maybe, after all, your map is indeed quite popular."

Ah Yue asked again: "Um, I heard the bonus is 100 million?"

"Well..." After hearing this, Chen Qin took the initiative to explain for some reason, "The main thing now is to do it as an experiment, so that all aspects of the process can be familiar with the process. If it goes well, I will definitely invest more in the future."

A Yue said: "I don't think it's too little. I mean, is 100 million too much? It's enough for us to have a good friend fight."

"No more, no more," Chen Qin explained. "The players get the money, and the sponsors get the popularity. It's a win-win deal. You don't have to worry too much."

After he finished speaking, he remembered something and changed his words: "The other thing is that your Uncle Liu and the others are contributing, and it's not my idea. I'm not particularly clear about the specifics. Just listen to what they tell you."

Ah Yue looked at her suspiciously, thinking of this person's previous behavior, maybe 100 million is not a big amount in front of him. Ah Yue thought sadly, lowered her head and started reading.

And then, it turned out just as Chen Qin said.

During the break, Li Yunlan called her and told her that the date of Moyou.com's competition had been set. After just planning the event, the company wanted her to show up at the venue in person and present an award to the champion.

Before school ended, a foreigner with a black background and a frog avatar joined his mobile QQ. This person did not speak Chinese and sent a bunch of foreign texts. Ayue couldn't understand it, so she handed the phone to Chen Qin. As a result, he chatted with the other party on his mobile phone.

Just like that, school ended at noon. Before leaving, Chen Qin took out two plastic bags of braised pig's trotters from his schoolbag. Ayue swallowed. Galaxy Software's logistical support was so good.

As a result, when she went out, she saw her aunt waiting for her in the corridor.

"Ayue, is school over?"

A Yue held a schoolbag containing braised pig's trotters: "Auntie, I have something to eat today. You can go and eat it yourself!"

The aunt said: "Your Aunt Lu came to see you today and plans to treat you to a meal."

Ah Yue was a little unhappy, but her aunt added, "Call Xiao Chen here too. I heard that he has been quite busy recently."

Ah Yue nodded, feeling better for some reason, and turned around to call someone: "Chen Qin, my aunt asked you to go to dinner!"

As usual, Chen Qin still seemed uninterested, but A Yue forced him to go.

The two went out, and Aunt Lu, wearing sunglasses, was already waiting outside the school.

The eldest brother is quite a young man, and Ah Yue is not used to touching her affectionately when they meet.

Afterwards, Aunt Lu took her hand and said affectionately: "Our lovely little Ayue is now also a star producer."

A Yue said politely: "Thanks to Aunt Lu."

Aunt Lu said again: "The principal didn't harass you again last time, right?"

"It's not harassment. In fact, she just lost my student information." A Yue has been scolded by Chen Qin several times recently, and she now knows that this is wrong.

Aunt Lu didn't think there was anything wrong at all: "That's what you deserve. If anything goes wrong in school in the future, just remember to tell Aunt Lu!"

Aunt Lu spoke boldly, and Ah Yue glanced at Chen Qin's face guiltily. Chen Qin stood aside with his schoolbag on his back, looking sideways at the green belt across the road, as if he had no intention of saying anything.

Then... got in the car.

The car seemed to be borrowed from a local acquaintance. The four of them took the car to a nearby hotel. Aunt Lu sat in the driver's seat and said, "Speaking of which, Ayue, you should go back to Lin'an after staying in Longshan for so long." Well, it's a bit inconvenient here in Longshan. Your uncles and uncles can't come all of a sudden if they want to take care of you... Also, if you want to go to Yanjing, you can. Your Uncle Feng's granddaughter is the same age as you. Maybe she can go to school in the same class. "

Ayue curled her lips and glanced at Chen Qin who was looking out the car window. Her actions were indeed noticed by the adults. Aunt Lu said: "Also, Xiao Chen can come too. Xiao Chen is so talented at such a young age. You should go elsewhere to get a better education.”

After that, there was a bit of silence in the car. Aunt Lu had seen such a big scene, so she brushed off the topic with a haha, but A Yue was probably inspired - of course she never wanted to leave Longshan before, and of course she doesn't want to leave now. I tried to persuade Chen Qin with this matter, but it was almost July now and summer vacation was coming.

"Chen Qin, do you have any plans for this holiday?" A Yue asked after sitting down in the small booth of the barbecue restaurant. Chen Qin felt a headache when he heard it: "Don't mention it, I'm very busy now."

A Yue said: "But you have to go out during the holidays. I plan to go to Meilijian first. Will you come?"

"Say hello to...that...aunt for me."

"Are you going to the Olympics?"

"I'm not from the Olympic Organizing Committee, so there's no point in going."

"And that e-sports competition, didn't Icefrog also want to go? Don't you go and meet him?"

This time Chen Qin seemed a little moved, but he still said: "You can play it by yourself."

Recently, it was the most critical period. Chen Qin didn't have time to do those messy things. After rejecting them all, A Yue was not disappointed, but the conversation between the two seemed to have once again caught the eyes of the adults who were traveling with him.

"To celebrate A Yue...and Xiao Chen, the game you two created has once again led the times. You must work hard in the future!"

Then he asked: "How did you two make such an amazing thing?"

Aunt Lu laughed and poured juice for the two middle school students. A Yue felt as if she was being interrogated. Seeing that Chen Qin was still not interested, she also regretted coming together. But after all, Aunt Lu was an old acquaintance and not only represented Gu Wenjie. I have some connections among my old classmates, and I have helped a few times before, so I can't take advantage of them.

Anyway, we followed her words and started chatting about the GameJam. Aunt Lu listened very seriously. She complimented her a few times at the right time and asked again after listening:

"In addition, I heard that Galaxy Software has recently cooperated with Kuaikan and is actively developing your games..."

Sure enough, she came here to inquire about the news... Ah Yue did not look at Chen Qin this time and explained to herself: "Yes, they are planning to use the IP of the game to make another game, but it is independent of us. We specifically need it. Send someone to cooperate with them..."

This is what I thought of before. Of course, it was correct after all. Now Ayue's Battle of the Ruins is divided into two groups. Chen Qin himself and others are working on the transplanted version, and Ayue and the other two original members are continuing to update. Initial map.

Of course, things are not that simple... In fact, Chen Qin is not working on the ported version. He is working on the Magic Sword engine, but others don't know that he is Chen Aotian. Even A Yue is not clear about this matter, and people on both sides Parting ways may sound a little strange to outsiders, but it doesn't matter if the blame is placed on Galaxy Software.

Having said this, Aunt Lu nodded seriously.

"Now you are not bright in the east, but bright in the west," she praised sincerely. "I heard that Galaxy Software bought your copyright earlier, and I thought that the next main direction of efforts will be your ported version, but now you There are so many people playing this map, even your Uncle Ma didn’t expect it.”

Saying this, A-Yue's aunt chimed in and joked: "Ma always takes a fancy to A-Yue's little game. That's A-Yue's luck. A-Yue is still young now, so I still rely on her to win." Uncle, please give her some guidance."

As a result, Aunt Lu actually said seriously: "This is not A Yue asking her uncles to teach her, but those uncles and uncles waiting for A Yue to teach them in turn. I used to think that Kuaikan Media met a noble person this time. , but now everyone is beginning to think that those in the galaxy took advantage."

A Yue also quickly said humbly that it was not that exaggerated, but Aunt Lu seemed to be more energetic when she said this: "But A Yue's success is the success of her uncles and uncles. Now the elders are looking at her. If A Yue can do well, Everyone is happy too."

He said sincerely: "Ah Yue, if you need anything, just tell me. You can also communicate it directly to your Uncle Ma or Uncle Liu. Anyway, although I didn't catch up, if you need anything, just ask. My uncles and uncles are all here." I am happy to learn the secret of your success from little Ayue."

A Yue was a little surprised and politely said thank you and other diplomatic expressions.

Probably thinking about the same idea as before, riding on the east wind of commercialization, there are people everywhere who are willing to help, which is normal.

But Chen Qin seemed to hear something.

It was only then that Chen Qin raised his head and finally took a serious look at Aunt Lu who was opposite Ayue. In the hotel, Aunt Lu finally took off her sunglasses. She was a middle-aged woman with curly hair, a kind face, and a very soft tone of voice. He is kind, well-groomed and does not look like an ordinary driver.

"Auntie, which one are you talking about?" Chen Qin asked at this time, "If it is for that customized map version, we don't have anything needed now. Besides, our project has signed a contract with Galaxy, and the commercial cooperation is We can’t do it together…”

Aunt Lu looked at Xiao Chen with a smile: "Without commercial cooperation, I am just helping you unilaterally. Of course, the plan should be decided based on the specific situation. You just have to make requests."

Chen Qin turned back and asked A Yue: "So where do we need help?"

A Yue said honestly: "The map is just like that anyway, and I heard that the transplant went very smoothly, so there shouldn't be anything that needs help."

Aunt Lu was very enthusiastic: "But it's still not finished? If it's not finished, then there are difficulties. Do you have enough manpower now?"

Chen Qin said: "The main manpower is Ah Yue. Although there are some people in the galaxy, it is still our work. When it comes out in the future, Ah Yue and I will be the first and second authors respectively."

After hearing this, Aunt Lu began to think deeply: "The task for you two is too heavy. You two are so young, and Galaxy Software doesn't give you much support..."

Chen Qin was noncommittal. Ah Yue originally wanted to say that she had a lot of support, but this was an internal secret after all. At this time, the waiter who took the order also came, and the next step was to eat normally.

However, A-Yue didn’t know whether she was thinking about the pig trotters that Chen’s grandma made for her, or thinking about her future vacation plans, so she ate the meal absent-mindedly; after the meal, the two middle school students had to go back to their respective homes, and A-Yue went out. As soon as he walked in, he asked, "Chen Qin, what did you mean just now?"

"Which sentence are you asking about?"

"That's what you said." A Yue said, "It's obviously a transplanted version made by yourself. Wouldn't it be appropriate if I signed it with you?"

"There is nothing inappropriate. Hasn't this matter been decided a long time ago?" Chen Qin said seriously, "Galaxy Software bought your IP mainly to become famous. They want to attract ordinary people to use their engine. Our age Since we are so young, everyone thinks we are not good enough, so we are suitable to represent them.”

A Yue nodded, but Chen Qin asked her instead: "What next?"

A Yue felt a little strange: "What then?"

"Is there anything else you want to ask?"

What else could A Yue think about?Although Aunt Lu seemed to want to inquire about something just now, it was just a meal, and A Yue didn't pay much attention to it.

But that afternoon——

"Chen Qin, Chen Qin, no, something happened!"

The exam was coming soon, and Chen Qin was still cramming with his physics book in hand. "What's wrong? I was so surprised..."

A Yue said: "We mentioned to Aunt Lu last time that we were doing a transplant recently and it hasn't been completed yet..."

"and then?"

"She seemed to have told Uncle Ma about it, and then Uncle Ma called today. He really planned to send two people in to cooperate with us in making the game. Now people seem to be almost arriving in Longshan, and they are urging us to go see it."
