Xie Mingzhe's shop closed on time at 12:00 noon.
The announcement of "new cards will be released tomorrow at 11:30" is still written in the shop today, because Xie Mingzhe has some ideas in mind, and plans to use the afternoon to draw two new cards.
After closing the store, he first went offline to have lunch, and by the way, let his brain get a full rest. When he went online again at one o'clock in the afternoon after eating, he heard a system prompt in his ear: "You have new emails, please check them."
Xie Mingzhe went to the living room to open the mailbox and saw an email.
The email came from a person whose ID was "Ghost Fire", and the content was: "Hello, Uncle Fat, I'm the president of the Ghost Prison Guild. Several players in our club want to talk to you about important matters. I have already opened it to you. With the VIP access permission of the Ghost Prison Guild Territory, if you have time, you can come over as a guest at any time and look forward to your visit.”
Xie Mingzhe turned around and came to the galaxy navigation map, and he found that there was another guild territorial star.
The territorial star of the ghost prison is pure black, and the ghosts around the planet are surrounded by ghosts.
He has checked a lot of club information in the past two days, and he probably has some understanding of the characteristics of the major clubs. very famous. Among them, Lao Zheng is an old player who debuted in the first season. Now in his thirties, he is very respected by the new generation of players. Gui Sirui is a very popular player among the younger generation, and his supernatural horror style has attracted many diehard fans. Liu Jingxu, who won the championship in the eighth season, is a research madman, a typical "late bloomer" player.
The strength of this club is also very strong, and it has won many trophies in individual competitions, double competitions and team competitions.
Why did the ghost prison suddenly find himself? He made three cards at one time today, Zhong Kui, Sha Seng, and Cao Chong, all of which were aimed at the ghost prison. Could it be that the great gods wanted to ask him to invite him to ask for guilt
Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhe replied: "President, if you are looking for me to scold me, then I should not go?"
Guihuo immediately replied: "Uncle Fat, you think too much, we have something important to discuss with you."
important things? Is it custom-made cards like the great god Fang Yu? Or buy copyright like Nie Shen
In any case, since people came to the door politely, Xie Mingzhe decided to go. Anyway, the guild territory is a safe area, and you can't open PK, so he won't be besieged by the ghost prison guild, right
He was teleported from the galaxy map to the Hell Guild.
The architectural style of the ghost prison is different from any guild he has been to before - the guilds such as Fenghua and Judgment are all buildings on the ground, but the ghost prison is a huge underground castle. This is a bit similar to the "Underworld" he had seen on TV. The dark environment, surrounded by dark and evil underground buildings, and even the ambient music has changed, it is very eerie and scary.
Xie Mingzhe used to love to read supernatural novels, and he also watched a lot of horror movies. Therefore, the guild territory design of Ghost Prison was very suitable for him.
The president personally came to the entrance to pick him up and took him to the office very politely. The two took the elevator all the way down and entered the huge underground castle. It felt like they had come to the underworld in person... However, the office is located on the eighteenth underground floor, which is not a lucky number!
This world probably doesn't have the saying of "eighteen layers of hell" in traditional culture, otherwise, important office areas should not be located on the eighteenth floor underground.
There was a skull painted on the door of the office, Xie Mingzhe pushed the door and went in.
The guild territory in the game can obviously be freely designed according to different styles, but the internal layout of the office is similar. He once again saw the club badge on the wall in the middle - the badge of the ghost prison, which is similar to the "underground abyss". In the pattern, the black word "Ghost Prison" is written in the center of the abyss, and the font is surrounded by black air. This is to carry out the horror style to the end, and the characteristics are very distinctive.
There were three people sitting side by side in the office, no need to guess, they must be the three players he targeted. Sure enough, the president took the initiative to introduce: "These three are Gui Sirui, Liu Jingxu and Zheng Feng from our club."
Xie Mingzhe walked in front of them and smiled very cordially: "Several great gods came to me, didn't they ask for sin?"
Zheng Feng was the first to speak: "That's not true, you're not just targeting us."
Gui Sirui also said, "Don't worry, we're not that stingy. As professional players, it's not uncommon for decks to be targeted. We're looking for you because we have other things to discuss with you."
Liu Jingxu took the initiative to stand up and walk in front of him, and said earnestly: "Uncle Fat, these three cards of yours are well designed, perfectly avoiding some official restrictions on instant-death cards. Zhong Kui designed it as a variant of instant-death skills. Cao Chong's skill design is very similar to the strong control skill of 'Exile'."
Xie Mingzhe was a little puzzled: "Exile? Does it mean that Cao Chong's reputation is equivalent to the effect of banishment?"
"That's right." Liu Jingxu said, "Exile is the toughest kind of control. Directly expelling a card from the arena is a control skill of 'arena isolation'. Exiled cards, although not Death, but it can't play any role. This banishing technique was originally developed by the chief designer of the Temple of the Gods, and then major clubs followed suit and made some similar cards, but currently the best effect , is your Cao Chong's 'elephant'. We conducted experiments in the arena, and the elephant was completely banished and fixed in the boat, and could not return to the arena until the end of the game."
Xie Mingzhe followed this idea when he designed Cao Chong - since you can't lose your elephant in seconds, then I can drive the elephant to another place. Unexpectedly, this control technique is called "exile" in the world of Star Cards. ”, he felt that he had a new card making idea!
Liu Jingxu took the initiative to reach out: "I admire your talent in card making, and I want to make friends with you and study how to make cards together. This time I came to see you in person, and I wanted to invite you to join the ghost prison and come to our club as a card designer. division."
Xie Mingzhe smiled and scratched his head: "Thank you for your kindness, I don't want to go to the club to be a card designer."
Zheng Feng said: "Let's listen to our conditions first, don't rush to refuse. Xiaogui, show him the contract."
Lao Zheng's work is very refreshing, and he even has the contract ready... Xie Mingzhe took the contract from Xiaogui and looked at it carefully, and he was a little surprised: "During my work in the club, the copyright of the cards I designed belongs to me, and the club only reserves the priority for use. right?"
Zheng Feng simply nodded: "Yes. How are the conditions?"
Xie Mingzhe didn't expect that Ghost Prison actually dared to give him the copyright of the card, so wouldn't he be afraid that he would jump ship with the card? Look down - the designer quits during the signing period, or leaks the club's research and development secrets, and compensates ten times the liquidated damages.
Sure enough, there are restrictions, but during the signing period, no job-hopping or leaking secrets is a professional code that designers should abide by. If Xie Mingzhe really wants to be a designer, this contract is the best condition he can get. That's it - the annual salary starts from one million, the designed card has a bonus commission, and you can get dividends at the end of the year. The copyright of the card belongs to you, and the club only reserves the right to use it first. This treatment is estimated to be the top in the league, right
Seeing that the other party was silent, Zheng Feng followed and asked, "Is there a club looking for you before?"
Xie Mingzhe nodded: "Yes."
Zheng Feng patiently said: "Let me give you an analysis. Among the first-class clubs at the top of the alliance pyramid, the rules and regulations there are very strict, and it is impossible to release card copyrights for designers. Fenghua has no shortage of designers, Tang Muzhou. , Zhen Man, Xu Changfeng, the ability to create original cards is at the first-class level in the entire league, and you don't need to take such a big risk to sign you."
"The character cards you are good at are difficult to match with the insects and gu insects of the Night City Club; Frost City is an aquatic creature, and the four brothers and sisters mainly focus on the water element, so it is difficult for you to integrate; as for the temple of the gods, their card cards The designer is the strongest original designer in the league, and has a very good relationship with the players. You will compete for his chief position in the past, and the Temple of the Gods will not spend such a big price to sign you - so, we are the only ghost prison left. ."
Zheng Feng is worthy of being a veteran player in the first season, and he knows the situation of each club in the league like the back of the back. He obviously also sincerely wanted to sign Xie Mingzhe, and gave Xie Mingzhe a clear analysis of the details of all the clubs.
When he said this, he stood up, walked in front of Xie Mingzhe, and said earnestly: "Uncle Fat, if you work alone, you can draw pet cards, but if you draw battle cards, you can't go very far in the world of star cards. Because , even if you have outstanding talent, there are many talented players and designers like you in other clubs. You are just taking the lead in the design of instant-death cards. If you really design a full deck, you are definitely not as good as Tang Muzhou and Nie. Yuandao and Lingjingtang are no match for the chief designer of the pantheon, and you can't even compare to Xiao Liu from our club."
"Designing a deck requires a lot of actual combat experience, not just imagination. I have been playing for nine years, and I have seen countless newcomers with outstanding talent but failed to make it. The competition in the league is more intense than you can imagine. If You have no support behind you, you are destined to be short-lived in the original world. Your best way out is to sign a club to back you up. The owner of the Ghost Prison Club is my cousin, who is only in charge of investment, and the club’s affairs are up to me We have the final say. We sincerely invite you to join, so you can retain the original copyright in the contract. This kind of contract has rarely appeared since the copyright dispute in the fifth season. "
Gui Sirui also echoed: "Yeah, Uncle Fat, the conditions that the master gave you are really the treatment that the chief designer of the alliance can get. We want to sign you, apart from your talent, there is another reason. It's Brother Xu who likes you very much. He is an experimental madman who loves to study cards. The two of you will definitely have a lot of common language when you are together. Moreover, your human card matches our ghost cards and demon cards very well!"
Liu Jingxu followed up and said: "My monster card has a human form, and Xiaogui's ghost card is also a human form. Adding your human card to our deck will indeed match well. Lao Zheng has analyzed so much with you. , you should feel our sincerity. Among the first-class clubs in the league, Ghost Prison is indeed your best choice."
Xie Mingzhe: "..."
The three people's turn of persuasion really made him a little excited. With the support of top clubs, he can retain the copyright of the cards. As long as he doesn't sell the club's secrets and doesn't change jobs, he will not only be paid well during the signing period, but also have freedom without pressure. Designing cards, and the accumulation of actual combat experience of these top players can provide him with a lot of ideas for designing cards.
However, remembering what he said to Brother Chen before, Xie Mingzhe firmly refused.
He looked at Zheng Feng and said politely: "Thank you to the three great gods, I didn't expect you to give me such a good treatment... But, I'm very sorry, I have already found a few partners and plan to start my own business, I can't you lied."
Zheng Feng frowned: "Do your partners have professional skills comparable to that of a regular club?"
It is definitely not comparable, but Xie Mingzhe has a strange intuition and always feels that he should not sign the club. Although he did not participate in the copyright dispute case that year, he has heard it mentioned many times recently. Signing in to other clubs, no matter how good the other party's conditions are, is still a part-time job.
You have to listen to your boss when you work. In case one day the ideas don't fit, and the club is in a standoff, I've never heard of someone whose arm can be twisted over a thigh. When he has a conflict with the club alone, he must be the one who suffers, right
Since he has such a strong talent, why should he work for others
Why not be your own boss
Although Brother Chen's power-training studio is not as good as a large club, he has been a trainee for several years, and his familiarity with the game is no less than that of a professional player. Everyone has cooperated for so long, and it is relatively tacit.
Instead of signing with other clubs, start one yourself.
Xie Mingzhe knows that if he thinks this way, others will think that he is a fool and has too much ambition.
However, he was really unwilling to sign in to the ghost prison like this. Even if the ghost prison gave him the best conditions, he felt that there was something missing in his heart.
Maybe it's because you're used to freedom and don't like listening to people's orders
Nie Yuandao asked him to buy the copyright, his relationship with Tang Muzhou is equal cooperation, Fang Yu asked him to customize Deathrattle cards, all of which are based on the fact that he is a freelance designer. Once he signed up for Ghost Prison, none of these things could happen again.
He had already made up his mind that he would not work for any club.
- The human card must be added to your deck to cooperate with you
-Then why don't I create a complete set of character decks by myself and match myself
Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhe was even more determined, he looked at the three great gods, and politely said: "I really appreciate your appreciation for me, and thank God Zheng Feng for analyzing so many pros and cons with me, I know that you are sincere for me. Well, I want to give me the best development platform. But I'm sorry, I won't join the ghost prison, nor will I join any club. Just think I'm too stubborn, this is my insistence, no matter how good the conditions are will be shaken."
Zheng Feng was stunned by the firm gaze and expression of the other party. He couldn't help asking: "You are not a middle-aged fat uncle, are you?"
Xie Mingzhe smiled: "You're so frank, I'm embarrassed to hide it from you, I'm really not a fat uncle."
Zheng Feng: "..."
Liu Jingxu and Gui Sirui wanted to persuade them again, but Zheng Feng reached out his hand to stop them.
He walked up to Uncle Fat and said, "So it seems that we can only meet on the field in the future?"
Xie Mingzhe said seriously: "Maybe? If I am lucky."
Zheng Feng lightly patted his shoulder: "Okay, I won't force you, see you in the future."
Xie Mingzhe thanked the three of them again, and then turned around and left the ghost prison.
After he left, Liu Jingxu couldn't help but said, "Old Zheng, why don't you continue to persuade?"
Zheng Feng shook his head helplessly: "I can't persuade."
Gui Sirui wondered, "Isn't he unshakable on such a good condition?"
Zheng Feng seemed to remember something from the past, sighed lightly, and said, "I have seen many designers in the past nine years, some of whom are either short-sighted and ruined their future; myself. However, this person is different from the people I have met. Perhaps, he will be the biggest variable. He reminds me of Tang Muzhou in Season 5. The league's big reshuffle in Season 5, It is because of the appearance of the talented poker player Tang Muzhou."
Liu Jingxu also experienced the fifth season and couldn't help but say: "You mean, like Tang Muzhou, he wants to create a club himself, become an original professional poker player, and play games by himself?"
Zheng Feng nodded solemnly: "I have a hunch that he will be the fierce rival of everyone on the field in the future. The professional league is likely to have a second major reshuffle next season."
Gui Sirui and Liu Jingxu looked at each other and looked at each other.
The fat uncle just now looked kind and amiable, but when he spoke, he didn't look like a middle-aged fat uncle at all.
What kind of person is he
The author has something to say:
I'm sure Pipiz will create his own club :)
The structure of this book is relatively large, please do not subjectively judge the protagonist's golden finger [strong and invincible]. In fact, there are countless good cards from other clubs in the league. The key is... I haven't written about the game, and I haven't written about the decks of other great gods.
Lao Zheng also made it very clear that Uncle Fat just seized the opportunity of the instant-dead card and brushed a wave of existence. He really designed the whole deck and he is still very weak. He still needs to grow, and he will gradually become stronger!
