Chapter 139: lottery

Views:

As time goes by, the random mode of "Dark Souls" is still very popular.

After all, this random gameplay makes players feel very fresh.

But for the gaming circle, the most eye-catching news is naturally the news that two VR masterpieces from Tenghua and NetDragon have been launched one after another.

NetDragon's 'Star God' at the previous gameplay exhibition took the lead in firing the first shot.

The plot and setting are very traditional.

There used to be gods in the world, but for some unknown reason, the gods suddenly disappeared one day. Countless monsters were born in the world. Human beings lived in water and fire. A young man with a strange bloodline who walked out of the mountains embarked on a journey to find his own life experience. adventure.

From the plot introduction, there is nothing unique, and its template can be applied to any arpg.

It is estimated that NetDragon is avoiding risks. Although it will not make players feel bright, at least there will be no major problems.

Coupled with the advantages of its own VR masterpiece and NetDragon's promotion of this masterpiece, its popularity can be said to have exploded.

However, Chen Xu doesn’t care at all about the fierce competition between Tenghua and NetDragon in the gaming industry. After all, “Dark Soul” has been online for almost two months, and overseas sales are no worse than domestic sales.

No matter what Tenghua and NetDragon do, they will not affect Nebula Games.

Chen Xu is now working in a company in Shanghai that is dedicated to AI research.

Of course, now this company called 'Galaxy Intelligent Technology' has been fully acquired by Chen Xu.

The negotiation situation is not that complicated. Let the professional people of the company negotiate directly.

After the final negotiation, Chen Xu won the company with an offer of 110 million.

"Mr. Chen, these are our current directions, as well as the big database." In the research room, Zhong Yue, who is in charge of the entire project, said to Chen Xu with some anxiety.

Not only Zhong Yue, but also some other employees in the company were a little worried.

After all, the company is acquired, and no one can say what will happen next.

"For the time being, I understand. In addition, I believe that Dr. Zhong and everyone also know the main business direction of Nebula Games, so the company's internal research direction will change in the future, mainly focusing on the interaction between AI intelligence and game applications." Chen Xu long story short.

"In addition, we will continue to inject 20 million yuan into the company in batches for research in this area." Chen Xu said to the other party.

After hearing Chen Xu's words, everyone suddenly felt relieved.

As for what to change, it has nothing to do with them.

They knew the company wouldn't fail, and there was new research funding, and that was enough.

I took a tour inside the company, and also looked at some of the patent information currently owned by the company, as well as the corresponding results. In addition, the legal department has confirmed their confidentiality and non-competition contracts with all employees who have joined the company. After everything was fine, Chen Xu also left first.

After returning to the office of Nebula Games, Chen Xu opened the system's backpack interface.

At this moment, the prop card originally drawn can already be used.

"Is this it?"

Chen Xu murmured in his heart when he saw the scene of it breaking into a burst of gold powder and then dissipating in the air after use.

At this time, Chen Xu noticed that there was a small progress bar under the original system lottery interface.

And there is a line of numbers on the progress bar that is constantly changing.

31536000, 31535999…

Countdown

31536000 seconds

Chen Xu paused and instantly understood what the progress bar and numbers meant.

Just like clicking on the technology tree or building a house in a business simulation game, there is a waiting time.

After studying for a while, he found that there was nothing interesting about it, so Chen Xu put it aside for the time being.

How it will turn out, we will only know after the countdown is over. It’s still a long time coming.

Putting aside the effect of this golden prop for the moment, Chen Xu returned his attention to the current points.

After the overseas version of "Dark Soul" and the launch of new modes.

The points can be said to be rocketing up, and now I have accumulated 200 draws.

Before, Chen Xu restrained his urge to draw a lottery and prepared to save more.

Now, this number feels like it can be used in the mall.

Make up your mind and start smoking immediately.

There was no ritual of playing music and washing hands like before.

Because his previous experience in Africa told him that all this was false!

[Common professional skill book], [Common professional skill book], [Common professional skill book]... [Rare professional skill book], [Memory capsule]...

He hit him 30 times in a row. Looking at the props that jumped out, Chen Xu couldn't help but feel a pain in his balls.

The golden special effects are quite nice, but after opening the box, it is filled with white clouds and only occasionally a blue sky. This lottery experience is too real, right

It would also be good to have more memory capsules. I almost used them when developing "Dark Souls" before.

While sighing, Chen Xu continued to smoke.

[Professional Skills Book: Psychological Knowledge (Elementary)]

[Professional Skills Book: Film Lens Knowledge (Elementary)]

"Has it been shipped? New skill book?"

Looking at the two new skill books in front of him, Chen Xu was excited for a while, but when he saw the basic ones at the back, he was a little disappointed.

After all, although it is a purple prop, just like the fear converter used in the previous development of escape, it always feels like it is not a good product with a basic one.

After using it, Chen Xu also understood that the main reason is that it covers too much content, so the current prop is elementary.

And for game production, it can be said that these two aspects are closely related.

For example, the embodiment of psychology in games is not just about various malicious intentions, such as the trap arrangement in "Dark Souls".

Including positive reward mechanisms, such as how to arrange and set rewards after defeating the boss, and how the rhythm in the game can make players more excited. These are all closely related to psychology.

As for movie lenses, that's even more important. Previous games such as "New God of War", "The Last of Us", and "Metal Gear Solid" all used a lot of movie lenses.

Such as the one shot to the end in God of War, the camera language in The Last of Us, and the famous long shot of Metal Gear Solid.

200 consecutive draws, most of which are ordinary skill books, and there are also some rare skill books, but they greatly replenish a wave of memory capsules.

As for professional skills books, Chen Xu picked up a total of 4 books on psychology knowledge (beginner level), 6 books on film lens knowledge (beginner level), 3 books on architectural knowledge (beginner level), and 5 books on martial arts action (beginner level).

Although there is no golden quality item drawn out like before.

But at least these things are very useful to Chen Xu now.

Therefore, Chen Xu is generally quite satisfied.
