Although I misjudged the potential of Warcraft, it was just a loss of experience. Xia Guo electronic games have been developing for ten years, but there has never been a game that allows players to actively participate in the improvement of the game and blurs the boundaries between players and creators.
As he proved through his ID hao12345, a good game designer can also be a good player, and vice versa.
At this time, Xu Qianshi suddenly remembered a concept that Hao Yun had mentioned when chatting with him at the dinner party.
"Sandbox..."
Xu Qianshi, who was sitting at his desk and lost in thought, gradually gained a sense of clarity in his eyes.
"So that's what he meant by the sandbox."
Although I only understand this now, it is somewhat late...
The first day of competition is over.
Lasting from 10 am to 5 pm, a total of five rounds of competition were held, and 25 winners were determined. After the five rounds tomorrow, Round F will officially end, and the 50 players who won the battle will advance to the next round.
As for the eliminated players, there is no need to be depressed. Players eliminated in the first three rounds will have the opportunity to sign up for the resurrection match and compete with other eliminated players for a chance to re-enter.
However, the competition in the Easter round is more cruel than the regular competition. Only one of the ten players can return to the competition through the Easter round and directly advance to the C round.
This rule is mainly to prevent some seeded players who have the strength to advance to the semi-finals or even the finals from being eliminated due to accidents early in the game.
For example, DK Blade, which narrowly lost to Yagami in the first round, seemed to Hao Yun to be at least qualified to advance to the 4/1 finals. If he hadn't happened to meet the more talented Yagami, he wouldn't have been eliminated in the first round.
After thinking about it for a while, Hao Yun finally decided to leave the commentary to Li Feifei in charge of the next few games, and he retired from the commentary team.
As for the reason, it is also very simple.
Based on his understanding of the game Warcraft, he can guess the outcome of a game almost within the first five minutes, and the accuracy is at least 90%.
Many things that were suspenseful in the eyes of the audience had almost no suspense in his eyes. Naturally, he could not create the tense and exciting feeling of "Jedi's Counterattack" during the explanation process.
Just like watching a movie, the audience is often more looking forward to seeing the ups and downs of the plot than being spoiled by characters or narration from the beginning.
In contrast, Li Feifei, who is still "not that professional", has a more interesting explanation.
"I didn't expect the game to end at this point."
Looking at Hao Yun returning to the lounge from the game, Lin Mengmeng, who had been sitting in the background watching the game all day, moved his sore shoulders and muttered with a hint of laziness in his voice.
"I'm starving."
After hearing this small complaint, Hao Yun said with a smile.
"If you're hungry, just eat first. It's already dinner time."
"I'm not waiting for you," Lin Meng rolled his eyes at him, and then said with a smile, "If there are any delicious restaurants nearby, you don't mind if I eat with you."
Hao Yun said with a joke.
"I don't mind, just go ahead and make me go to your house to beg for food every day until I'm exhausted."
"Can I still make you poor? Am I that capable?" Lin Mengmeng stuck out his tongue, glanced at his phone and continued, "By the way, Jiaojiao is coming too."
As soon as he heard this name, three black lines suddenly appeared on Hao Yun's forehead.
"Uh, what is she here for?"
In his limited impression, this guy has never done anything that a human being has done. Although there was no basis for it, the moment he heard that she was planning to come, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"I don't know," Lin Mengmeng looked at Hao Yun, who had black lines on his head, with a sly smile. "When she comes, you can just ask her yourself."
Looking at that sly smile, Hao Yun's ominous premonition became even stronger.
However, people are already on their way here, so it is impossible to just leave them alone.
Despite his reluctance, Hao Yun still made three reservations at a nearby restaurant.
Because they were so close, Hao Yun and Lin Mengmeng walked directly over without taking a car.
Without waiting for a long time, a Maybach with a familiar license plate parked downstairs of the restaurant.
Through the window on the second floor, he saw Lin Jiaojiao, dressed in casual clothes, jumping out of the back seat of the car and walking hurriedly towards the door of the restaurant.
Soon there was a knock on the door outside the box, and Lin Jiaojiao opened the door and walked in.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Seeing Jiaojiao appearing at the door, Hao Yun squeezed a smile from his face and was about to say hello politely and officially.
But before he could speak, Lin Jiaojiao rushed in front of him, staring straight at him and said.
"Are you hao12345?!"
Looking straight at those eyes behind him, Hao Yun was slightly stunned and said hesitantly.
"Uh, what's your problem?"
"I want to see your account!"
Hao Yun originally wanted to deal with it because it was too troublesome, but when he met those sparkling eyes, he hesitated, and finally took out his phone with a sigh and opened the Creative Workshop APP.
"Is there anything wrong with me being hao12345? How many times do I have to explain this question..."
Lin Jiaojiao stared at the row of IDs over and over again several times, and finally confirmed that the ID was correct, and then looked away from the phone screen.
Hao Yun didn't know whether her expression was disappointment or surprise, or maybe both.
Looking at his sister, Lin Mengmeng, who was sitting next to her, pursed her lips and smiled slightly, and said in a joking tone.
"Our Jiaojiao admires you very much. I watch your videos every day. It's so exciting."
"You, you're talking nonsense," Lin Jiaojiao retorted with a red face, "How could I have watched his video?"
"Video?" Hao Yun was also stunned for a moment. He didn't remember that he had recorded a video at all.
"Is that some kind of review... or a video or something?" Lin Mengmeng tilted his head, "I don't really understand it either."
"That's what you said," Hao Yun probably guessed what Lin Mengmeng was talking about. He looked at Lin Jiaojiao with a surprised expression and said, "What a surprise. I didn't expect you to like playing World of Warcraft."
Lin Jiaojiao said with a blushing face.
"Isn't it possible? Who said I can't play World of Warcraft?"
"Why not?" Hao Yun said with a smile, "If you are interested, I can even teach you."
"Hmph, I don't need you to teach me." Lin Jiaojiao stubbornly turned her head to the side, avoiding eye contact with him.
Looking at Jiaojiao who was resisting, Hao Yun shrugged helplessly.
All right.
He originally thought he could take this opportunity to repair the relationship between the two, but now it seems that he was overthinking it.
At this moment, the phone's ringtone suddenly rang, and the number looked like it was a long-distance call.
Although there was no caller ID, he already guessed who was calling.
After taking the phone back from Lin Jiaojiao's hand, Hao Yun pushed the chair away and stood up.
"I'm going out to take a call."
After saying that, he walked outside the box and pressed the connect button.
"Haha, Mr. Hao, my friend, we haven't seen each other for a long time! How are you doing recently?"
The ups and downs of Mandarin pronunciation were full of jerkiness, but it was obvious that he had studied it carefully.
Hao Yun smiled and said.
"Me? Of course I can't be any better. I just don't know what the situation is like over there."
"If you have time, can you talk to me, my dear friend, Mr. Karens."
