Chapter 213 "Blood Lion" incident
1997 was an ordinary year, a seemingly ordinary year, but Zhang Lexing knew that this year was destined to be extraordinary.This year, Bill Clinton was re-elected as president; this year, scientists announced the birth of the world's first cloned sheep; this year, Hong Kong's Lantau Link was completed; this year, China Internet Network Information Center was established; this year In 1997, the Mars Pathfinder landed on Mars.But what really made 7 seem so extraordinary was the return of Hong Kong on July 1 and the Asian financial turmoil that followed.

But all these people who are standing in Hong Kong Times Square, waiting for the "apple countdown" and looking forward to the arrival of the new year, can't think of anything other than the return of Hong Kong. People only have expectations for the new year on their faces. and the vision of a happy life in the future.The clock was beating one frame at a time, and it was slowly approaching midnight. People who had been standing in Times Square for more than five hours began to get nervous.

The beating time suddenly appeared on the large-screen TV outside, "December 1996, 12, 31:23:59..." Soon after, the numbers on the screen began to count down, "40...10...9... ...", the people shouted loudly, and the ten apple lights on the square buildings lit up one by one.Zhang Lexing and Chen Zishan stood on the balcony of a hotel next to Times Square, clasped their hands, watched the numbers jumping on the big screen together, and counted down quietly.

When the number on the screen jumped from the last "1" to "0", all ten Apple lights were lit up, the crowd in the square began to cheer loudly, and the bright fireworks gradually rose in the night sky. 1997 really came.The excited Chen Zishan couldn't control her emotions any longer, she hugged Zhang Lexing, and under the extremely gorgeous night sky that seemed like daytime, the two hugged each other tightly...

January passed in a blink of an eye, and when February came, the Spring Festival was not far away. The homesick Chen Zishan boarded the plane and flew directly to BJ, and Zhang Lexing had to follow, although he didn’t like this festival, But today is different, after all, he is no longer alone.For many people, the Spring Festival is a day of reunion, a happy and peaceful day, but for Zhang Lexing, it is a boring day, except for a small gathering with some friends before New Year’s Eve, and the second year of junior high school He made a special trip to visit Chen Zishan's house, and the rest of the time he basically stayed in the villa over there in Longyuan, because even Chen Zishan had to hurry up to visit relatives during this period, and he couldn't spare time to accompany him.Fortunately, from time to time, he can receive New Year greeting calls from friends or students of Fengyun Game Academy, which makes Zhang Lexing feel less lonely.

One day before the Lantern Festival, Zhang Lexing stayed in his villa as usual, sitting on the sofa and looking at the information about the Qin Dynasty. Since the start of the game "Adventure King", he suddenly had a great understanding of the history of the Qin Dynasty. Interested, so I found a lot of information.I'm usually busy at work, so I can only take a look occasionally. It just so happens that I have a lot of free time during this period, which is just right for research.While looking at the materials, Zhang Lexing would also jot down the inspirations that popped up in his notepad, so that he might be able to use them at any time.

When Zhang Lexing turned to the records about Efang Palace, and just saw "Six Kings Bi, Four Seas One, Shushan Wu, A Fang Chu...", the mobile phone that was thrown on the coffee table suddenly rang as if desperately.It is estimated that it is probably another call for New Year's greetings. Zhang Lexing shook his head, put the information on the coffee table, picked up the phone casually, and stuck it to his ear.

"Principal, help!" A strange voice came from the receiver.

The sudden sound startled Zhang Lexing, and he almost threw the phone out. He calmed down and said, "Which one is looking for me?"

"Principal, I'm Luo Xunji, I graduated from Fengyun Game Academy in June 96."

The voice on the phone was still very unfamiliar, but Zhang Lexing already had a little understanding of what was going on with the principal, but he still asked in puzzlement, "What happened when you called for help just now?"

"Principal, I just took over the program of a game project. The game is not even a semi-finished product, but the leaders insist on forcing everyone to get the game out on April 27, but I just read the original program. I think it will take at least a month, and this is impossible to complete. I don't want to do it, but they won't let me go, I wonder if you can..." Luo Xunji's voice gradually lowered, the reason why he called today This phone call was actually because Zhang Lexing said at the opening ceremony of Fengyun Game Academy that in the future, if the academy encounters difficulties, they can find the principal.But when Luo Xunji told the situation, he began to feel a little guilty again. After all, it was his own choice to get involved in this matter. Although he couldn't get away for a while, it was because his team couldn't find other programmers to take over for a while. .

When Zhang Lexing heard this, he didn't expect that there would be people engaging in forced development. In addition, Luo Xunji claimed to be a student of Fengyun Game Academy, so he became very angry: "Luo Xunji, where are you now?"

"Principal, the place where we develop is in a private house in the Asian Games Village. The specific address is unit xx, building xx, xxx road..." Luo Xunji said the address over the phone.

Zhang Lexing wrote down the address on the last page of the notepad, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll be here soon."

"Principal, please forgive me!"

Putting down his phone, Zhang Lexing couldn't sit still anymore, called Ma Guanghai, and drove the car to the Asian Games Village according to the address provided by Luo Xunji.After the car drove into the Asian Games Village, we wandered around for a while before finding the residential building that Luo Xunji mentioned.After parking the car and going up the stairs to the fourth floor, Zhang Lexing reached out and knocked on the door of the resident on the right. Within a minute, there was a loud bang, and the door opened, revealing a young man with messy hair and a bit of a scruffy look.

"Are you Luo Xunji?" Zhang Lexing asked.

"It's me, principal!" The young man on the opposite side showed a surprised expression, and turned to the side to give way to the passage at the door.

Zhang Lexing raised his foot and walked inside, asking as he walked, "What's the situation now?"

Luo Xunji shook his head, sighed and said, "Hey, the situation is very bad, very bad!"

Zhang Lexing walked in and took a look. It seemed that this was a three-bedroom house. There were only some simple furniture in the living room, but some sundries were piled up in a mess. The door of one bedroom was closed, and the other The doors to both bedrooms were ajar.Looking in from the two half-open doors, it seems that the inside is not a bedroom, but has been converted into a work room. There are several computer desks and computers. Several people are sitting in front of the computer and busy, with keyboards from time to time The sound of knocks and mouse clicks came from the two bedroom-turned-workroom.

Zhang Lexing was about to continue to ask Luo Xunji, when suddenly a young man opened the door and came out of the bedroom that was closed just now. When he looked up, he suddenly found two strangers in the room. He was taken aback for a moment, and then He asked, "What are you two doing?"

Zhang Lexing turned his inquiry to Luo Xunji, and he immediately introduced knowingly: "This is Wu Gang, the person in charge of our development team."

"Wu Gang, I seem to have heard of this name there." Zhang Lexing pondered for a while, but he couldn't remember where he had heard of it for a while, and he didn't want to reveal his purpose right away, so Turning to this young man named Wu Gang, he asked, "I heard that you are developing a game. I want to come over and see how the game is going."

Wu Gang seemed to understand. He smiled and said, "You guys look unfamiliar. It should be your first time. Since you are interested in the game, let me introduce you first."

After speaking, Wu Gang came to the living room and took out a few coloring pages from the pile of sundries, then walked back and handed the coloring pages to Zhang Lexing and Ma Guanghai who followed behind.

Zhang Lexing took the coloring page and looked at it. Below the text was a muscular man who seemed to be standing in the flames, holding a gun in his hand.Under the muscular man's feet are several Chinese and English mixed characters "BLOOD-LION".

At this moment, Zhang Lexing finally recalled who this young man named Wu Gang was. He was the leader of the game development team of Shangyang Electronics, the planner of the legendary "Blood Lion" in the Chinese game industry, and the future half-launcher of "Blood Lion". One of the developers of "Fire Civilization" and the founder of the famous mobile game company Digital Red in the future.At this time, Zhang Lexing understood why Luo Xunji suffered so much after taking over the project. It was a mess at all.

Wu Gang never imagined that the person in front of him would think of so many things, and he continued to introduce his product with passion: "Our game investment is as high as one million, it is the work of our development team, the scene is grand... The music part is produced by domestic high-level avant-garde rock musicians, the game creation team is strong, and the art creativity is unconstrained..."

Zhang Lexing couldn't bear it at this time, he waved his hand quickly, stopped Wu Gang who was still talking, and put forward his own request: "The game can't just rely on words, you should take me to see how this game is. Let's do it."
