In order to ascend, I had no choice but to play games.

Chapter 470 New Ideas

Chess, one of the oldest games in human history.

In a broad sense, chess and cards include poker, mahjong, chess, go, etc. There are also different game variants such as twenty-seventy and spin in different places.

This type of game usually has simple rules and is easy to play. For example, the rules of mahjong can be summarized in one sentence: "AAA*n+ABC*m+DD", which can be used to win tiles, where n and m can be 0. Just add some special rules.

Because the rules are simple, it is easy to popularize, and the cards of previous physical games are not expensive, and several people can play the game by putting together a deck of cards.

The favorite activity of Chengdu people is to find a sunny weekend, where a group of people gather by the river to play mahjong, and you can spend an afternoon in peace and tranquility.

However, compared with other game methods, chess and card games have one of the most high-end game requirements: friends.

Moreover, the effects of chess and cards are not gorgeous enough, so in modern times, the entertainment effect of chess and cards has been gradually replaced by games. A new generation of young people have begun to play games on their mobile phones. This has slowly led to the decline of chess and cards, becoming a traditional and even gambling industry. hotbed.

It cannot provide emotional value to today's young people, and it is also a breeding ground for new crimes, so it is normal for chess and cards to be banned.

After reading the available information, Huang Ping began to think about the boss's intention in asking this question.

"Guest Invitation" has now entered a period of free development for players. The content in the game can allow players to play for a long time. Now there is basically no need to invest more manpower and resources in it.

But chess and cards...

Judging from the current situation, players have spontaneously developed PVP gameplay and exploration gameplay. Players who fail can join other players' countries and continue their own exploration and research.

The next few days passed like years, and he anxiously waited for Friday every day.

"Write it down, don't keep it, tear it up after reading it. Come here after get off work this Friday. We will hold the door open for you in advance."

"Yes, we laughed at you for a long time." Huang Ping lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, there is no malice, it's just that our quality is relatively low."

"...Comrade Lyon, you are actually a nice person, why do you have such a long mouth?"

Huang Ping looked at Lyon with squinted eyes, and the other party returned Huang Ping's sincere look.

Half a minute later, Huang Ping silently wrote down an address and pushed it to Lyon.

But as for the boss, he will just keep looking forward to it, hoping to see the boss dig out new treasures where his foot is halfway into the grave.

It is estimated that it will not be long before players can unify the entire game world and establish a new order in this free and broken world.

Tilting his head and thinking, Huang Ping felt that his brain was not enough again.

Through this feeling, everything around him took on a different meaning, and the exotic scenery amplified this strange feeling, making Leon unable to stop.

There was no other way, so he took the coffee cup to the tea room, nodded and greeted Leon who was drinking coffee here, and then took a cup of tea for himself and drank it.

"But you look quite happy." Leon scooped up a piece of sweet tofu. "Although it's a little troublesome for you to say it, you look quite happy."

Holding the note eagerly, Leon seemed to have received God's will and quickly wrote down the contents on the note.

Biting his pencil and looking at the information he found, Huang Ping once again felt a little tricky.

After all, chess and card games are no longer the Red Sea, but the Dead Sea.

"Yes, I understand this special culture. By complaining to others to show that you are actually valued by the boss, this is a special way of showing off. Although I don't understand it, I respect it."

"Maybe it's because my genetics are relatively normal, and the world needs me to say something."

Leon put down his tableware, looked at Huang Ping and said, "I happen to have a problem of my own. Can I get your help?"

"...Uncle, I can speak Chinese."

Of course, it may also be because Leon is now dominated by a secondary emotion, which makes him feel like he is playing a stealth spy game himself.

After looking at the door and confirming that Fang Cheng was not there, Leon lowered his voice and said, "Didn't I work overtime at home a few days ago and then I was discovered? After that, I was forced to take a few days off with pay. Do you have any impression? "

Moreover, the way he looked at Huang Ping became more cordial. They had a common secret and were partners on the same front.

"So, exchange?"

But it’s not chess and cards…

If an ordinary person wanted to enter the field of chess and cards, Huang Ping would definitely state the power of it to make the other person give up the idea.

Scratching his head in embarrassment, he said to Leon: "Indeed, I am indeed a little happy. After all, why does the boss have to find me if he doesn't ask someone else for such a rare task? This is a sign of trust in me."

"Huang Ping, why do you have a mouth?" Leon said dissatisfied, "My question is, I'm pretty sure you guys are also working overtime, and this is your tacit secret. Don't ask me how I know , it can be seen from your working status. Where you are, I want to know how you do it."

"Then you didn't tell me earlier! Go somewhere and sign!"

"You just happened to be the first person he saw."

This is an inconspicuous community. The security guard at the door seemed to be dozing off, but when Leon passed by, he narrowed his eyes, making Leon feel that this old man was not simple.

So, he sat in front of Leon, corrected his attitude and said: "Comrade Lyon, I have encountered a problem, and I feel that I can't solve it well. Can I listen to your opinion?"

Although he is not very satisfied with Lyon's attitude, Huang Ping knows that Lyon is good at gaming and he is a foreign friend, so he should have a different perspective on gaming than his own.

Under this premise, Fang Cheng proposed developing a new game, which was also a normal idea for a studio manager.

"Okay. Then I'll go first."

Looking at the serious Lyon, Huang Ping found that foreign friends really didn't know what it meant to be reserved and what it meant to see through without telling.

After using tea to wake himself up a little, he said with a wry smile: "The boss really causes trouble for people."

After finally waiting until Friday, he immediately left the studio and waited outside for half an hour before arriving at the designated location.

"Hey, is there any?"

Seeing Leon passing by, the uncle raised his cap, looked at Leon and said: "What's your name? Where are you going to?"

Leaving his name behind, Leon walked into the community door and looked back to see that the uncle had continued to doze off against the chair.

Recalling the uncle's British English that made him feel ashamed, Leon felt that this uncle was indeed not simple.

According to the contents of his memory, Leon moved forward incorrectly. After walking through a twisted path, he finally arrived at his destination.

This is a very ordinary community apartment. There is nothing unusual at the door, but you can vaguely hear cheers from inside. The sound was so joyful, as if the gods were having a party, and as if the heroic spirits in the Hall of Valor were drinking wine.

Just hearing this voice made Leon feel like he was in the right place.

Knocking lightly on the door, he heard the sound behind the door stop suddenly.

Someone walked behind the door, and Leon could even hear the other person's breathing behind the door. The small door seemed to be a chasm to isolate each other, making Leon nervous.

He felt that he was approaching a secret, a secret that the studio employees had hidden together. This secret was so important that the studio employees even needed to use this secret society to maintain this secret.

A few minutes, or maybe a few hours, just when Leon felt that he had been forgotten, he saw the door opened and Huang Ping appeared at the door. Looking at Leon who was trembling with excitement, he asked: "Why are you shaking like this?" Already?"

"I have a rich imagination." Leon said intoxicatedly.

"What does imagination have to do with it? The habits of you Beimi people are really weird."

After Leon was invited into the room by Huang Ping, he immediately began to observe the place.

It's just an ordinary apartment on the outside, but inside it's a large game base.

From arcades to unpopular VRboxes, from Atari series to the latest game warehouses, there are all kinds of game peripherals here, including some unpopular game consoles. Leon has only heard of the names of some of the equipment, but has never seen the real ones. .

Except for Huang Ping, all the male planners from Fangcheng Studio are here.

Everyone was lying lazily on their own lazy sofas, playing games that they were interested in, and communicating from time to time about certain game settings.

With unlimited games and plenty of snacks, this is the kind of paradise game fans dream of, one that you can’t leave after entering.

What particularly attracted Leon's attention was a large game display cabinet. In the display cabinet, he saw a variety of peculiar game collections, covering almost the entire history of games.

Looking across these collections, Leon became more and more excited.

"Wow, there is even a game called "Biotech" on Mars here. This game was released with a sales volume of 300,000. However, it was urgently recalled due to a major accident in the game. After that, there was no news at all because the game console was discontinued. I didn’t expect to see this work in this place.”

Picking up a game CD, Leon looked at the cover of the game and said with emotion.

Xiaodouzi, who was playing a game in front of the console, raised his head, looked at Leon and nodded: "Are you very knowledgeable about goods? It took me a lot of time to find this game, and finally I found it in a large second-hand market in North America. The other party offered a price at that time. Thirteen thousand dollars.”

Hearing this number, Leon's eyes widened and he shouted: "You are so ignorant! You made a lot of money!"

Xiaodouzi nodded appreciatively: "You really know the goods, so I bought this game right then. Come here, I have something better here."

Leon swallowed excitedly and asked excitedly: "What, is it a new game?"

"It's more exciting than a new game. It can help you increase your knowledge. And I won't let anyone go there easily. You can see it when you first come to my house. You're lucky."

"This is your home, and your home is pretty big."

"I still think it's small. Many game consoles can't fit in. Come on, come on, I'll show you something more exciting."

Watching the two people enter the bedroom, Hou Hou looked at Huang Ping and asked doubtfully: "The one who knits straw sandals, I feel that the atmosphere between them is not right."

"Children, don't think so much, you might get a needle eye."

Two hours later, when Leon came out of it, he was in a trance.

Eating the pizza ordered by Xiaodouzi, he murmured to himself: "It's exciting, it's really exciting. Xiaodouzi, can I call you the Game Fairy?"

"Farewell, the boss is still alive." Xiaodouzi said shyly.

"That's true, but I really didn't expect you to have such an exciting game. Just seeing the cover of the game makes me feel like I can die a happy death."

Staring at the two of them, the monkey tugged at the corner of Huang Ping's clothes and whispered: "Brother, they really have a problem. Are you like this after working as a game planner for a long time?"

"This is a special case. Normally, it would be similar to the living dead, and it would be disgusting to see the game."

After eating pizza, Leon finally remembered the purpose of coming here.

Lying on the sofa given to him, Leon asked: "So, this is where you secretly work overtime?"

"Shh." Huang Ping said immediately, "We are not working overtime, this is a game night. A group of like-minded people go to a friend's house to play games after get off work. Is this normal?"

After holding his chin and thinking for a moment, Leon nodded: "It's very normal."

"I accidentally stayed up all night while playing games. Isn't this common?"

"It's as common as thunder and rain."

"When everyone is playing the game, they accidentally start a discussion about the game. This kind of thing is probably common."

Leon also came back to his senses at this time, nodded and said, "It's indeed quite common."

"And we didn't write a document, so we're not working overtime. This is normal anywhere, is there no problem?"

"No problem. But I have a question that I don't quite understand. Does it make sense for us to do this?"

"Yes." Huang Ping nodded seriously, "The boss's sense of smell is very sensitive, and he can often tell if we have worked overtime just by looking at us. But if we use this method, then the boss will at most let us play games before it is too late, no Will say other things. Therefore, this process is necessary, do you understand?"

"Don't worry, I understand." Leon nodded excitedly.

Here, he finally found the feeling of organization, and at the same time he also learned the secret of Huang Ping's high efficiency.

Beautiful overtime life, here I come.

And it turns out that working overtime here is really fun.

Huang Ping gave him a ticket here, and he also began to respond to Huang Ping's questions. After learning that Fang Cheng wanted to have "chess and cards that are not chess and cards," they played the chess and card games on the market over and over while thinking about Fang Cheng's true intentions.

Plans were proposed one after another while they were playing the game, and then they were repeatedly rejected.

They exchanged opinions and shared experiences with each other. A large number of plans were proposed by them, and various different plans were eventually formed.
