Weekends are supposed to be a relaxing and pleasant leisure time, but the headquarters of Xingka is very lively. Because employees from several departments stayed at the same time to work overtime, what is even more exaggerated is that everyone slept directly in the company without returning home!
In order to facilitate overtime employees, Star Card headquarters has set up a temporary rest area on the 20th floor, and there are many soundproof small rooms for everyone to temporarily stay. If people from other companies see this scene, they will definitely sigh at the hard work and dedication of the employees at the headquarters of Star Card - these lunatics are really desperate for performance!
In fact, everyone is compelled to do so.
Work overtime until midnight, and it’s boring to go home. It’s better to sleep in the company and get up tomorrow and work.
Many of the people working at Star Card's headquarters are single young men and women. This group of people was full of energy. They came to the data department's office early on Saturday morning, rolled up their sleeves and prepared to continue reviewing cards.
As a result, seeing so many loving couple cards, the single dogs were stuffed with dog food again early in the morning—
"Watching Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies leave hand in hand, the single card is so sad and envious... Xie Mingzhe is looking for a fight?!" "I'm also single, I have to work overtime on weekends, I'm even more sad!" "I'm not as good as one A card?"
On Saturday morning, the others were still in the warm blankets. Not only did they have to get up early in the morning to work overtime, but they were also forced to watch a "card love story". "It's so enviable to see them leave hand in hand, the group is silent" - Dajia was very depressed, and when he saw this, he really wanted to arrest Xie Mingzhe and beat him up.
While everyone frantically complained about Xie Mingzhe, they quickly reviewed it.
Although Xie Mingzhe's card skill descriptions are very annoying, but in terms of data, Chen Qianlin checks, plus he has made so many cards and has figured out the bottom line of the official data engineer, obviously he has grasped the little skills of card design, Therefore, after detailed data calculation, this batch of cards all passed.
In the Legend of the White Snake series, everyone watched another wonderful drama of grievances and hatreds.
Zou Xiaoning couldn't help but said: "Legend of the White Snake, if it is made into a TV series, I will definitely watch it. Bai Suzhen is very beautiful, the snake demon turned into a human to repay her favor and marry Xu Xian, what's wrong with the young couple living a peaceful life? Why did Fa Hai have to break them up? "
Sister Liu pushed her glasses and said curiously, "I wonder if there will be any directors who want to make a movie with this theme after this batch of cards is announced? Xie Mingzhe himself is also expected to be a director, so he simply asked him to develop a side business and make a movie. "Card Love Story"?"
Everyone agreed - everyone was really worried about Xie Mingzhe, and he had already thought about his way out after retirement.
After finally reviewing the Legend of the White Snake, I met the Nezha family again.
The linkage of Nezha Naohai is too complicated. Li Jing teleported, Nezha committed suicide and resurrected, Jin Zha refreshed his skills, and Mu Zha improved his attack.
After reviewing this batch of cards, another batch of Big Dippers!
Zou Xiaoning grabbed his hair in dismay: "The Tenth Hall of Hell, the Big Dipper, can he stop doing this kind of deck all the time!"
The original "Ten Halls of Hell" gave everyone a splitting headache, and the names were too similar to tell them apart. Today's "Big Dipper Seven Stars" are greedy wolf stars, Wenqu stars, and Wuqu stars. The skills are designed in a variety of ways, and they are still stupidly unclear.
Especially Wenqu Xingjun's pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the four skills are verified separately, and the cooling CD and skill balance must also be considered - everyone will be bald just by calculating the data.
The lotus lantern review of the Three Holy Mothers also took a lot of effort. The lotus lantern can add blood, resurrect, clear negative effects, and can pull designated targets. It is the most comprehensive auxiliary card, and the cooldown is only 15 seconds, which is too buggy .
The data scientists collectively objected, and it was clear that the card was too strong.
After careful consideration, Zhou Jiayao suggested: "I propose a modification plan, remove the resurrection skills, after all, resurrection is a 10-minute CD, which is not suitable for the lotus lamp. Keep the group to increase the blood, the group to clear the negative effects and the monomer. The traction function, in addition, the CD used by the lotus lamp, has been increased from 15 seconds to 25 seconds.”
Everyone calculated again according to the director's statement, and found that the data of the lotus lamp could finally be controlled within a reasonable range.
Although the lotus lamp has relatively complete functions, it has a great defect - every time a skill is used, the petals will turn black, and when all seven petals turn black, the lotus lamp will lose its function, that is to say, its skills have "Number of uses" limit.
The skills of most auxiliary cards have no limit on the number of times, which also weakens the strength of the lotus lamp to a certain extent.
For the Jade Emperor, the number of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals is limited to 10, and a maximum of 10 targets can be attacked at the same time. The target with the lowest HP can be brought back to Heaven, and no one can be brought back to Heaven. fire.
…
On Saturday or two days, everyone was so busy that they didn't even have time to go to the toilet.
It was not until 10:30 on Sunday night that the review of this batch of cards was finally completed.
Zou Xiaoning scratched the back of her head, but a bunch of hair fell out. She really wanted to cry without tears - her hair fell out at such a young age, it was almost bald, why did she want to study mathematics in the first place? Why did I meet the devil Xie Mingzhe after working for two years
According to the predecessors before, the data department is obviously very easy.
Tang Muzhou submitted a large number of plant cards, Gui Sirui's independent ghost cards, and Pei Jingshan made a Gu worm genre... In the past, there were also a large number of outstanding original players who made cards, but the data department has never been so busy. Because of the card skill descriptions of most players, the intelligent review robot can pass directly, and there are not many cards sent to the artificial channel.
More importantly, those players are relatively normal, unlike Xie Mingzhe, a lunatic who submits 50 cards at a time to scare people to death!
The office was shrouded in a sad atmosphere until Zhou Jiayao clapped her hands and said, "Thank you for your hard work, I'll invite everyone to a late night snack."
Some vitality was restored in the dead office.
Everyone came to the barbecue stall near the company to have a big meal - turning grief and anger into food!
After eating and drinking, everyone was in a better mood. Zou Xiaoning turned around and asked the director: "Sister Zhou, do you think it is feasible to apply for Xie Mingzhe's independent application for Xianzu?"
Zhou Jiayao said: "There are no mistakes or omissions in the application process. The basic requirements for 30 cards are far exceeded, but there is a key... I think his immortal clan and the god clan of the pantheon have similar characteristics?"
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized.
Sister Liu said calmly: "It's really similar, they can float in the air, and they have a long lifespan and so on..."
Zhou Jiayao said: "So I'm worried, will the headquarters approve his application?"
The data department is only responsible for the review of card data, but race is a major event that affects the entire star card game, and requires the official and the alliance to vote for approval. Once Xie Mingzhe's application form fails to convince the official and the alliance, it is likely that his cards will be classified into the Protoss with the most similar characteristics and created by the Temple of the Gods.
The official statisticians have a lot of opinions on Xie Mingzhe asking everyone to work overtime, but everyone recognizes Xie Mingzhe's talent in their hearts. Many of his cards were personally reviewed and approved by everyone. When I see these cards appearing on the field, I will feel very cordial. It is also an honor to see Xie Mingzhe win the game with these cards.
Therefore, emotionally, everyone still hopes that Xie Mingzhe's independent application for the immortal card will pass - so that everyone will not be busy this weekend in vain!
Zou Xiaoning said nervously, "Sister Zhou, can you do anything?"
Zhou Jiayao shrugged: "I only have one vote. The specific result depends on the meaning above and Xie Mingzhe's own reasoning... If I guess correctly, the official may invite him to participate in the demonstration conference."
Since cards like ghost cards, demon cards, and worms haven't been played before, it's easier to separate races. The characteristics of Xie Mingzhe's immortal cards are indeed somewhat similar to those of the pantheon, and it is hard to say whether they can be independent in the end.
***
The next morning, Xie Mingzhe received an official email from him—most of the cards he submitted passed the review, and only a few needed to be revised with some details.
The email also mentioned: "The application form for Xianzu independence has been submitted to the superior, please wait for the official notification."
Xie Mingzhe politely replied thank you, and the next thing you can do is wait for the notification.
Three days later, Xie Mingzhe received a message from the official, asking him to attend the headquarters demonstration meeting on Thursday afternoon.
Xie Mingzhe was very confused, so he had to ask his master, "Why do you want me to go to the demonstration conference in person? I remember my brother said that when Pei Jingshan applied for the independence of the Gu worm card, he could just submit the application form, right?"
Chen Qianlin guessed: "Probably encountered some problems, you need to personally explain why the independent immortal clan."
Xie Mingzhe nodded, carefully sorted out his immortal cards, and thought about what he was going to say in advance.
On Thursday afternoon, Xie Mingzhe came to the official headquarters. He met Chairman Zhou of the Professional League, as well as several legendary official executives, as well as the directors of the Map Department, Data Department, Program Department, Special Effects Department and other departments, as well as some people who came to listen. Staff.
The meeting was held in secret, and the outside world did not hear any bells and whistles.
The conference room was full of people. When Xie Mingzhe walked in, he found that everyone was looking at him.
Ordinary players would be nervous when they saw this scene, but Xie Mingzhe was thick-skinned and smiled at everyone, not afraid of life at all.
The host said: "The demonstration meeting on the independent immortal clan card is now officially started. First of all, please tell Xie Mingzhe in detail the reasons for the independent 'immortal clan' race."
Xie Mingzhe nodded, walked to the stage to clear his throat, and repeated the reasons listed on his application form word for word.
Everyone has seen this reason, and inviting him here is obviously not enough. The next free question time is the key. If Xie Mingzhe can't convince the official person in charge, it is very likely that the plan for the independence of the Immortal Race will be in vain.
Sure enough, the serious-faced official card chief manager Qin asked calmly: "According to your description, these cards are very similar to the Protoss of the Temple of Gods, why not directly belong to the Protoss?"
Xie Mingzhe said without humility: "The characteristics of this batch of cards are somewhat similar to those of the pantheon, but the background stories and cultural customs have nothing in common. The gods of the pantheon use Norse mythology, Greek Myths and legends, the batch of immortal cards I designed, are completely different mythological systems from them and cannot be classified into the same category."
After speaking, he took out the comparison picture he had prepared for a long time, and said: "You can take a closer look at the god cards of the temples, many gods have wings behind them, white angel wings, black devil wings, use Weapons are also mostly staffs."
"And the fairy cards I designed, flying in the clouds, flying with swords, weapons such as musical instruments, wooden sticks, flower petals, etc. Their clothing, appearance, and style of painting are also distinct from those of Lucifer, Michael and other gods."
"I made this batch of cards independent, not only to respect my own design results, but also to respect the card designers of the Pantheon. Our design styles are too different, once the batch of cards I designed was forcibly added. The 'magic card system' of the Pantheon will only appear nondescript, fans will find it strange, and the players of the Pantheon will not recognize it."
He looked at everyone present with sincerity: "I hope you will carefully consider my proposal and pass the independent application of the immortal race. In the future, I will make more immortal race cards to enrich the card pool of the star card world. "
Zhou Jiayao: "..."
You can spare us!
Zou Xiaoning from the data department is in a complicated mood. Although Xie Mingzhe's cards are disgusting, he himself is really... so handsome!
In the face of a large number of official high-level officials and the chairman of the alliance, the 19-year-old young player was not stage fright at all. He stood on the stage and talked freely, and the reason was straightforward-indeed, the painting style of the gods of the temple and his immortals was too different. The cards wear armor and battle robes, with complex and gorgeous wings behind them, which makes him look more majestic; his immortal cards wear robes and gauze skirts, flying through the clouds and mist, and feeling more elegant and agile.
In fact, comparing the two batches of cards together, the characteristics are indeed very distinct. Forcibly classified into one race will only make fans on both sides fight, and neither will obey the other...
Zou Xiaoning thought this way. After seeing the detailed comparison map made by Xie Mingzhe, the official executives also discovered this and discussed it privately. The magic cards made by the temples are supported by Nordic mythology, Greek mythology and other mythological storybooks. The cards made by Xie Mingzhe do not belong to these two mythological systems, and it is indeed reluctant to be classified as a magic card. Everyone exchanged opinions and felt that independence was feasible.
President Qin, who is officially in charge of card coordination, finally asked, "Do you plan to improve their stories in the future, these immortal cards?"
Xie Mingzhe nodded with a smile: "Yes. When this season is over, I will take the time to sort out the stories of these cards in detail to form a complete fairy card legend system."
Several high-level executives looked at each other and did not ask any more questions.
Next was the on-site voting session. Xie Mingzhe was so nervous in his heart, but on the surface, he still maintained his demeanor, but secretly clenched his fists until he saw the on-site ticket register - unanimous vote!
Xie Mingzhe breathed a sigh of relief and immediately bowed to everyone: "Thank you!"
There was warm applause in the conference room.
Chairman Zhou of the Professional League stood up with a smile, patted his shoulder and said: "When you abstained from the individual competition, I guessed that you would make a big move, but I didn't expect you to really surprise everyone - Immortal Race, it's really good , there is a new race in the card world! Looking forward to your performance in the team competition, come on."
Xie Mingzhe nodded excitedly: "I will, thank you Chairman!"
When he left the conference room, many people were looking at him with complicated expressions, almost staring a hole out of the top of his head.
Xie Mingzhe didn't know that these people were the bald audit team tortured by him. He smiled friendlyly at everyone and bowed before turning around and running away.
Everyone: "… "
It's no use bowing, we won't forgive you - we'd rather pull your hair out.
Xie Mingzhe, who left the headquarters, was so excited that his fingers were shaking. He immediately told the good news to everyone in Nirvana: "The argumentation meeting has passed unanimously. From today, the immortal clan card can officially become a separate race!"
Chen Xiao, Yu Ke, Qin Xuan and Chen Qianlin were also very happy for him, and they all sent expressions of applause.
Xie Mingzhe was quite emotional. From making the first instant-death card Lin Daiyu to the now directly independent card race "Xianzu", he finally changed from a small transparent in the card making world to the top system in the star card world. Card Master.
In the future, there will be more and more cards with his LOGO, and these cards will be active in all corners of the star card world—everyone will know that there is a man named Xie Mingzhe who has made a lot of strange cards, and Stories and legends about these cards will be widely spread in this strange interstellar world until they become household names.
This is the purpose of his original card making, and he has never forgotten his original intention.
Let people in this world like those wonderful stories through cards - he will continue to work hard towards this goal!
The author has something to say:
When I counted the cards of the immortal race before, I missed Princess Iron Fan from the Journey to the West series. With Princess Iron Fan, the current number of immortal cards should be 43, and the total number of cards submitted this time is exactly 50. The bug in the previous chapter has been modified, thank you for reminding ^_^
The immortal race card is officially independent as a new race, which is different from the eastern immortal race of Western gods!
