Game Design: Is that okay, CaiGou?

Chapter 320 Beacon No. : Say my name and scare you (Subscribe)
Taiping Dao clearly expressed the official attitude and won the wholehearted support of countless Chinese players.

This also aroused the anger of countless overseas players, who announced a boycott of Ark: Survival Evolved and other games produced by Pacific Avenue.

In their opinion, it’s just a game. If they don’t want to play Ark: Survival Evolved, they can just play another game. What’s the big deal?

But these foreign players who have their eyes on the top of their heads, now realize that there are also popular games overseas, such as -

"Terraria", "Kerbal Space Program", "Cities Skylines", "It Takes Two", "Oxygen Not Included", "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice", "Digital Combat Simulator World", "Russian Fishing Master", "Ring Fit Adventure", "Pokémon Go", etc.

These games that are deeply loved by overseas players are all produced by Taiping Dao. The overseas players who originally just got involved in this matter left silently.

please...

With so many good games, why not play them?

If they don’t play, it’s not Taipingdao’s loss, but the loss of these foreign players.

So much so that within a few days, only the foreign players of Ark: Survival Evolved were left, still insisting on announcing a boycott of Ark: Survival Evolved and all games produced by Taipingdao.

But the situation is all thunder and no rain.

You know, although the survival and construction track is very mature, there are also a large number of survival and construction games.

However, among the survival and building games with dinosaur elements, there is only Ark: Survival Evolved on the market. There are no competitors or substitutes. It is unique.

This boycott campaign, which seemed unstoppable and powerful to foreign players, was actually not as powerful as they imagined, but was just a paper tiger.

Cai Gou paid attention to the subsequent impact of the incident for a few days and found that this group of foreign players could not cause any big waves, so he naturally put it behind him.

As the Journey Cup competition date approaches, preparations for the opening ceremony have been completed.

On the Internet, players in the gaming circle can be seen discussing the topic of the Journey Cup, which is extremely hot.

The organizers also began to contact all participating game manufacturers, asking the players to arrive in Liangshan in advance to set up the offline game exhibition hall for this year's Journey Cup, and also to prepare for the opening ceremony of the Journey Cup.

After Wu Xiu received the invitation from the organizer, he immediately found Cai Gou and said:

"Brother, the opening ceremony of the Journey Cup will begin in three days. The staff of the relevant official unit just called me and asked us participating manufacturers to set up the game exhibition hall in advance."

"In addition, the staff also said that a deputy team leader of the organizer wants to talk to you about something. He left me a phone number. Call him when you get to the scene. He wants to talk to you about something."

"Deputy team leader in charge? Who is he?" Cai Gou asked without raising his head.

"I asked the staff." Wu Xiu paused and then said:

"The Game Office of the Travel Cup Entertainment Office is also one of the organizers. The person in charge is the deputy director of the Game Office, whose surname is Zhao, Zhao Guang."

Cai Gou's mind was lost in memories. After thinking for a moment, he realized that he had been present at several dinners with Liu Shu.

Logically speaking, for a top domestic competition like the Travel Cup, the Entertainment and Gaming Office is a co-organizer. What could they possibly come to me for?
This thought flashed through his mind, and Cai Gou patted his butt and stood up, saying:

"Okay, since we have to set up an offline exhibition hall and our leader wants to talk to us, let's get ready to go today."

"Okay..." Wu Xiu agreed readily, but did not move.

Cai Gou asked curiously, "What's wrong, Angkor? Is there anything else?"

Wu Xiu smiled awkwardly: "Brother, how many people are you going to take with you to Liangshan this time? If it's convenient, I'd also like to go and see them."

“Hahahaha…” Cai Gou patted Wu Xiu on the shoulder and laughed, “Brother Wu, don’t worry. When have you ever eaten alone?”

"It's not just you who's going. Zhong Chu, Fei Yangyang, and Zhu Ping An...if everyone goes together, it will be more lively with more people."

Wu Xiu showed a happy smile on his face, and he nodded heavily: "Hey, thank you brother, I can also go to see the world, OK, then you go ahead, I'll go book tickets for everyone."

That afternoon, senior leaders of the Taiping Dao arrived at Liangshan Marsh by plane.

Everyone was in high spirits along the way. It was during the Journey Cup competition, and all the hotels in Liangshan, from five-star hotels to roadside inns, were fully booked.

Various game-related decorations and banners can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, highlighting an unprecedented gaming scope. Tourists and players are strolling around the streets of Liangshan with great interest, as if they can't wait for the Journey Cup competition to begin.

Everyone drove to the hotel where they were staying, put their luggage away, and gathered in the lobby one after another.

Zhu Pingan, Fei Yangyang, Zhong Chu, and the five-member team of Xianzhen Camp went to the Liangshan offline exhibition hall for an on-site inspection and began on-site arrangement work.

Cai Gou took Wu Xiu into another car and acted separately. In the car, Wu Xiu called Zhao Guang.

"Hey, is that Director Zhao? Yes, I'm Wolong of Taiping Dao. You can just call me Wu Xiu."

"Yeah, that's right. Mr. Cai and I have already arrived at Liangshan and have just checked into the official hotel of the Travel Cup Ginseng."

"Okay, okay, send me the address and I'll go there right away with President Cai."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Xiu saw the address sent and drove away from the hotel with Cai Gou.

In the car, Wu Xiu reported: "Boss Cai, Director Zhao is now fishing in a nearby reservoir. When he knew you were coming, he asked us to rush over and tell us something before the Journey Cup officially starts."

Cai Gou was originally looking at the busy scene outside the window. Hearing this, he curiously asked, "What did Director Zhao say?"

"He didn't say, but it should be a good thing."

Cai Gou smiled and said nothing.

Twenty minutes later, the vehicle arrived at its destination.

Cai Gou and Wu Xiu got out of the car and saw a tall, thin middle-aged man not far away. He put down his fishing rod and hurried over. He stretched out his hand and said with a smile:
"Mr. Cai, I have heard of you for a long time."

After all, he was the deputy director of the Entertainment Bureau's Game Office, and his connections were not in place. Cai Gou was not arrogant, and walked forward in two steps, took the initiative to shake Zhao Guang's hand, and said with a smile on his face:
"Director Zhao, nice to meet you again. Nice to meet you. If you hadn't informed me in advance, I wouldn't have known that you were one of the organizers of this event."

"Well, I'm just a co-organizer at most, which is insignificant." Zhao Guang waved his hand and said with a smile.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and under Zhao Guang's guidance, they came to a nearby fishing spot. Cai Gouke followed the leader and picked up a fishing rod and began to fish in an orderly manner. After chatting for a long time, neither of them caught any fish, and both of them had bad luck. Zhao Guang then took the initiative to say, "Mr. Cai, I'm older, so I'll just call you brother, how about that?"

"That's for sure, bro. With my relationship with the Entertainment Department's Gaming Office, there's absolutely no problem for us to call each other brothers."

"Hahaha, then I'll be frank with you." Zhao Guang leaned forward and asked:
"There will be a quota for a representative from the gaming industry to speak at the opening ceremony of the Journey Cup the day after tomorrow. Would you mind going on stage and say a few words?"

Give a speech at the opening ceremony?

Logically speaking, the Journey Cup is the largest gaming event in the country. For the parties involved, speaking on stage is a great opportunity to receive lights, flowers, and applause. No one will remain indifferent.

Zhao Guang, the deputy team leader of the organizer, is also the deputy director of the Game Office of the Bureau of Culture and Entertainment. He is responsible for coordinating the Journey Cup with official activities.

Why would you use the word "suffering" to describe yourself?
This doesn't make sense, does it?

Cai Gou did not hide his concerns and expressed them:

"I really can't bear the burden of this. I'm young, and it won't be my turn to be in charge of things like seniority. How about you take another look?"

After hearing this, Zhao Guang knew that Cai Gou would not agree unless he explained the whole story clearly, so he put down the fishing rod, took out the cigarette case and handed it to Cai Gou.

"Thank you, Director Zhao. I don't smoke, but it's okay for you to smoke."

"It's better not to smoke, it's better not to smoke..."

Zhao Guang lit a cigarette and explained the whole story while puffing away smoke.

There are candidates for representatives from the gaming industry to speak on stage at the Journey Cup. On the contrary, most of them are representatives from game manufacturers who want to compete for this opportunity.

However, the Journey Cup has always been responsible for leading the trend of the future gaming industry. When it learned that Taiping Dao's Jiegan No. 2 had developed a player taste synchronization function.

The organizers secretly prefer Cai Gou to speak on stage, and it would be best if he could also tell the story of the development of Jiegan No. 2 and the epoch-making significance of the player taste synchronization function.

The organizers even planned to negotiate with Cai Gou, with Taiping Dao as the core, to unite some game manufacturers as much as possible, open the Jiegan No. 2 virtual game platform, and allow more manufacturers to join in so that their games can have the function of synchronizing player taste.

As a result, Cai Gou became the only designated representative from the gaming industry to speak on stage, but the parties involved were not aware of this yet.

When Zhao Guang received the task, he thought over and over again and decided that he couldn't be too arrogant. He knew very well what the relationship between Cai Gou and Director Liu Shu was. He could only put himself in the right position and talk to Cai Gou in person.

After figuring out all this, Cai Gou felt relieved. It turned out to be just like that. It wasn't a big problem. On the contrary...

Cai Gou's eyes lit up and he thought it was an opportunity.

"Director, the cooperation is easy to discuss. This is already part of my plan. The most important thing for me to do when I speak on stage this time is to explain Jiegan No. 2 and the player's taste synchronization function, right?"

"Yes, after all, Jiegan No. 2 has epoch-making significance in leading the future trend of the gaming industry, so it is necessary to share it with everyone on this stage."

Cai Gou paused and said, "I am not a rookie in this kind of thing. Letting me speak on stage is a sign of respect for me. I have no problem with that."

Zhao Guang's face lit up, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Cai Gou continue, "But the content of this speech is still open for discussion."

"How to say?"

"Jiegan No. 2 is only a product of the experimental stage of the somatosensory game cabin. Currently, Taipingdao has developed a game cabin with a full sense of the whole body, including the sense of pain - Fenghuo No. 3."

"What I mean is, if I am asked to speak on stage, I might as well do it right away and explain Beacon-3. I'm afraid that I will steal the show and cause too much noise, stealing the limelight from the organizers."

"!!!!" Zhao Guang's eyes narrowed, as if he was listening to a foreign language. He stood there in a daze, choked by the smoke, and kept coughing. After a while, he recovered and asked impatiently:

"What did you say? Fenghuo No. 3, a gaming cabin that can sense pain? Have you developed it? Cai Gou, this is a big deal. We can't just talk nonsense. Do you have any idea? Can you guarantee it?"

Cai Gou smiled and said, "Don't worry, Fenghuo-3 has entered mass production in June. It has been in mass production for two months. The inventory is sufficient and the experiment is going well."

"Ah?" Zhao Guang asked in confusion, "Why hasn't there been any news about Fenghuo No. 3 in the market in the past two months?"

“Hehe…” Cai Gou laughed embarrassedly, “Aren’t you planning to make a splash in the Journey Cup?”

"Then you, um..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Guang felt a little ashamed and didn't know what to say next. The open platform cooperation of Jiegan No. 2 is already a blessing for the entire gaming community.

We can't just let Taiping Dao shamelessly open the virtual platform of Fenghuo-3 immediately just because the latter has developed the more powerful Fenghuo-3?
If they really do this, what kind of people will the Travel Cup and the Entertainment Bureau’s Game Office become?
Cai Gou obviously understood Zhao Guang's concerns, and continued, "The pain and sense of wholeness game cabin of Fenghuo No. 3 is our secret weapon in this Journey Cup. At this stage, we cannot open the platform to the outside world for cooperation."

"But don't worry, Director. We at Taiping Dao already have a preliminary cooperation plan with Fenghuo No. 3. After the Journey Cup is over, Taiping Dao will not keep it to ourselves."

"Hey, hey..." Zhao Guang nodded subconsciously and said quickly: "That's good, that's good."

"Then, when I go on stage to speak, can I use Beacon Fire No. 3 as the theme?" Cai Gou asked.

Zhao Guang patted his chest and said, "No problem, absolutely no problem. Don't be afraid of stealing our limelight. Fenghuo-3 made its debut at the opening ceremony of our Journey Cup. This is not stealing our limelight at all. On the contrary, we benefited from your help."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Guang suddenly had an idea and said to Cai Gou, "Wait a minute, I'll make a call."

"As you wish."

Zhao Guang walked aside, called his leader, and informed his superiors about the cooperation between Fenghuo-3 and Jiegan-2 platforms. After gaining the leader's attention, he put forward his own views and received a definite reply.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Guang returned to Cai Gou and said:
"Cai Gou, sorry for the long wait. This is what happened. I thought about it and came up with an idea. After reporting it to my superiors, I received strong support from them."

"What I mean is that the debut of the Fenghuo-3, a holistic gaming cabin, cannot be overemphasized. A representative from the gaming industry cannot speak for itself."

"We plan to hold a Fenghuo-3 press conference specifically for you after the opening ceremony. Let all media reporters know about this. What do you think?"

Cai Gou felt Zhao Guang's attention to him and nodded, "Of course I have no problem with that. I also want to thank Director Zhao for giving me the platform. But will this be too much trouble for you, the organizer?"

Zhao Guang smiled from ear to ear and said hurriedly, "No trouble, no trouble. Fenghuo No. 3 will definitely add luster to the Journey Cup. Maybe this Journey Cup will go down in history!"
