Chapter 79 Hong Kong Trip ([-])

When Zhang Lexing and his group arrived at the airport, they just caught up with the flight to Hong Kong and began to check in.Because the voyage is relatively long, Zhang Lexing booked a first-class ticket and has a dedicated CheckIn counter, so now there is no need to queue up to go through the formalities, and there is still a lot of time to spend in the VIP lounge at the airport.

There is no wireless Internet access these days, and Zhang Lexing is not interested in staring at a notebook as thick as a brick. Fortunately, there are several 29-inch color TVs with large screens in the VIP room to watch, and a lot of free drinks and snacks are provided. , there are reading room, fitness room, private bathroom and other facilities, and even a large billiard room, but don't worry about having no place to pass the time.Ten minutes before the plane took off, Zhang Lexing and his accompanying bodyguard Rhodes completed the check-in procedures, and boarded the plane in a limousine dedicated to the first-class cabin.

The car was parked next to a Boeing 747-400 aircraft, which was the Cathay Pacific flight to Hong Kong.Except for a gangway truck and two ground crew members, there was no passenger on the tarmac. It is estimated that both economy class and business class have already boarded the plane.Walking along the stairs on the ramp car and entering the first-class boarding gate, several stewardesses in red suits bowed in unison and said in unison with bright smiles: "Welcome to fly with Cathay Pacific Airways." After that, one of the slightly taller flight attendants led Zhang Lexing and bodyguard Rhodes to the first-class cabin.

Arriving at his own seat, Zhang Lexing put his luggage away first, then opened the seat and reclined comfortably.It is said that the seat is actually about the size of a single bed when it is pulled out, and with the screen on the aisle, Zhang Lexing feels like resting in the bedroom.It was still early, Zhang Lexing took out a book from the luggage, leaned on the seat and began to read.This is a copy of "Second Edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons" that has been published for several years, and I haven't been able to take the time to read it carefully. This time the flight time is relatively long, so I just took it out to kill time.

At that time, no one in China had heard of such things, and even many years later, many people thought that "Dungeon and Dragon" was a Western magic culture corresponding to the oriental martial arts culture. is a set of mathematical algorithms.To put it simply, "seven dice make the world", it is a set of mathematical rules based on the random numbers generated by seven (six kinds) dice.The most important one is the 20-sided dice, which is used for most "success rate checks" (mainly combat), so it is also called the D20 system, which is the rule system with D20 dice as the core.

The D20 system includes D12, D10 (two each, used to cast percentages), D8, D6 and D4, a total of seven dice.Whenever the player tries to perform an action that has a certain probability of failure, roll a dice (this reflects the uncertainty of the objective world), and add the relevant adjustment value to the result (this reflects the certain ability, technology, environment and Other factors), compared with the target value (that is, the probability of failure caused by difficulty and various unfavorable factors), if the final result is equal to or greater than the target value, the action is successfully completed; otherwise, if the result is less than the target value, the action fail.

Mathematical rules are only one aspect of "Dungeons and Dragons", and the more core ones include those "invisible rules", which are often called "such-and-such systems".For example: attribute system, occupation system, skill system, spell system, turn-based combat system and so on.These systems make things that happen in this world run step by step according to a certain framework or process.The principle of difficulty setting, how attributes work, and the manifestation of levels and abilities are all controlled by the core calculation formula, and it will affect the whole body, and generally it will not be easily changed.

All of this makes "Dungeon and Dragon" the best computer game system foundation. In recent years, many related games have been launched. Starting from the earliest "Pool of Light", several related works will come out almost every year. For example: "Long Gun Hero", "The Curse of the Blue Shackle", "Magic Eye Killer", "Neverwinter Nights (Neverwinter Nights)" and so on, even Zhang Lexing's Blue Dragon Company is no exception. The game with the rules of "Dungeon" got into a lawsuit.

It's a pity that such a rigorous system has never been born in Chinese games. The most mature system is only a martial arts system, but it has always lacked rigorous settings.Perhaps it is the difference between Eastern and Western cultures. Martial arts born in the East pay more attention to family and country grievances and martial arts grievances, but there is always no digital system. This not only makes game developers not bound by rules, but also makes games Developers lack the ability to directly reference the system, which brings difficulty in development.

Flipping through "Second Edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons" and looking at the various calculation rules, Zhang Lexing couldn't help thinking whether he could try to build an oriental system similar to "Dungeons and Dragons", so that he could start playing games by himself in the future Wouldn't it be able to save a lot of things, maybe it can also promote the development of the domestic game industry to a certain extent.

After reading the book for a while, the plane has already taken off and headed west along the route.During the period, the stewardess delivered a set of Elemis' selected skin care products, toothbrush, toothpaste and mouthwash, and lunch was also served on the plane.There are a lot of dishes to choose from in the first class. Zhang Lexing ordered a Chinese-style veal tenderloin, marinated goose, Yunnan small melon with mushrooms, freshly made white rice, and a cup of Laohuo soup. It was a delicious meal. The taste of the food is quite good, comparable to some big hotels.

After eating lunch and reading for a while, Zhang Lexing gradually felt tired, so he put the back of the seat down, covered him with a blanket, and closed his eyes to rest.

……

After experiencing the roller coaster-like landing process again, the plane landed safely at Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport again. Never have to enjoy this heart-pounding experience again.

The flight process was amazing. The departure time was at noon, and when we arrived in Hong Kong, it was already past [-]:[-] pm local time the next day. Just looking at the time, it seemed that we had flown for more than [-] hours, but in fact the whole flight process was only [-]. It's only an hour.

The person who came to pick me up was the assistant to the chairman of Orient Holdings*. She is a native of Hong Kong. She looks quite young, but she has a mature and capable temperament. She joined the company not long after the establishment of Orient Holdings. old man. Beside * stood a rather ordinary-looking man, dressed in a black suit, with a pair of sunglasses on his face, making it impossible to see his expression. *There is a black Mercedes-Benz 400E not far behind, and through the window, there is also a man in a black suit on the driver's seat.

Seeing Zhang Lexing and bodyguard Rhodes coming out of the airport, * came forward with a smile on his face, and bowed slightly: "Boss, welcome to Hong Kong for inspection."

"En." Zhang Lexing nodded, then looked at the two men in black suits, and asked, "Who are the two behind you?"

*Introduction: "The two of them are bodyguards from Anda Tai Security Company (the security company Zhang Lexing asked Uncle Wu to help set up, after several years of development, the scale has grown to a large scale). They used to be the 4th team of Group G of the Political Department This time, they will be in charge of your security during your stay in Hong Kong. The one next to me is called Chen Yi, and the one sitting in the car is called Li Sheng. They used to be old partners."

Zhang Lexing nodded, not waiting to tell Rhodes to take the initiative to go forward and communicate with the two men in black suits.After verifying the documents, Rhodes made a safe gesture to Zhang Lexing, so everyone immediately took action, put away their luggage, and boarded the car together.The black Mercedes quickly started and drove towards its goal.

Li Sheng, who was in charge of driving, was good at driving. He drove very smoothly along the way, and he didn't feel any vibrations in the car at all.Zhang Lexing was sitting in the back row, listening to the secretary next to him report his itinerary during his stay in Hong Kong.

Holding a notepad, * turned it over and said: "Boss, during our stay in Hong Kong this time, we will stay at The Peninsula Hotel, which is located in the center of Tsim Sha Tsui, not far from Victoria Harbour, surrounded by famous shopping, commercial And the entertainment center. There is no other arrangement tonight. If you need, I can take you around the hotel for sightseeing, shopping, and you can also go to see the night view of Victoria Harbor. There will be more arrangements starting tomorrow.

Tomorrow (15th) I will visit Mr. Yang in Mid-Levels in the morning, and I may have lunch at his house at noon; in the afternoon, I will visit the chip factory under Dongfang Microelectronics Co., Ltd. dinner. On the morning of the 16th, I inspected the Institute of Oriental Microelectronics, and will have lunch with the director of the institute and several technical supervisors at noon; I have made an appointment with Mr. Cha in the afternoon and will visit him. Inspect Kunpeng Animation on the 17th, and will have lunch with Kunpeng Animation executives at noon; there will be a consortium meeting in the afternoon, and there will be a working meal in the evening. On the morning of the 18th, I will deal with some matters before returning to China, and there are no arrangements in the afternoon. On the 19th, I will take a Dragonair flight to BJ...

These are the main itineraries, if there are any changes, I will reschedule. "

There are still many things to do, and it seems that I am still busy during this time.At this time, the car had already arrived in front of the Peninsula Hotel on Nathan Road. After everyone got out of the car, Li Sheng drove the car to the parking lot, while Zhang Lexing and others walked into the hotel under the leadership of *.The timing was not so coincidental. When I entered the lobby, I just missed the band's playing time. Without the wonderful accompaniment, only the bustling crowd was left.

*The reserved room is on the sixth floor. After Li Sheng parked his car and rushed over, everyone took the elevator to the guest room on the sixth floor. *The environment of the selected room is not bad, the space inside is spacious and tall, and the decoration is also magnificent. Through the window, you can overlook the hotel vestibule and fountain.After dividing the room and putting down the luggage, the hungry people went to the restaurant to have a full meal.After a full meal, the feeling of jet lag became more obvious, and Zhang Lexing started to feel a little sleepy when walking back to the guest room.After returning to the room, he simply washed up, and regardless of *'s previous suggestion of a night tour, Zhang Lexing went to bed early and went to bed.
