This is the record of the 37th emergency report meeting of the Xiaguo Southern Branch submitted to the head office. It is only available to those with level 3 authority and above. At the same time, it is strictly forbidden for meeting members and those who view the report to disclose the details of the report to the outside world in any form. Violators will be directly transferred to the company's legal department for processing once discovered.
The following are the five company members invited to the seminar:
Level 3 designer: Li Mingfeng.
General Manager of the Executive Department in the southern part of Xia State: Zhuge.
General Manager of the Development Department in the south of Xiaguo: Han Ran.
Head of the 74th Group of the Operations Department: Qin Qiuming.
Employee dispatched by the head office: Mr. Wu.
This report will be a discussion on emergency adjustments to the series script changes numbered 7441.
The reason for the script change was found to be a logical error caused by three players, whose nicknames were Fireworks are Easy to Cool, Confidants are Hard to Find, and MIT.
The following is the specific content of the meeting.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
"Mr. Li Mingfeng, according to the file, you should be one of the persons in charge of the script numbered 7441, right?"
"Yes."
Li Mingfeng stood up and bowed to the other company members present, but when his eyes passed over the last position, a hint of strangeness appeared in his eyes.
The person sitting there should have been a dispatched employee from the head office.
But in fact, there was only a computer at that location, with voice call software running on it.
As if he saw Li Mingfeng's surprise, Zhuge, who was sitting on the other side of the square table, smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Wu had something to do this time, so he couldn't come in person. He could only attend the meeting via computer. This has been reported."
"I see."
Li Mingfeng nodded: "Then may I ask Mr. Zhuge, what is the theme of our meeting...?"
"Don't worry."
"Let's watch a video first."
Zhuge waved his hand, then lightly pressed a button on the computer in front of him. The next second, the projector in the center of the square table started working, projecting an image on the white screen in the office.
"This is... ."
Without having to look closely, Li Mingfeng recognized it at a glance: "... This is the scene of the script I designed, right? Is there something wrong?"
"very good."
Zhuge nodded and continued, "This is a video of a player in the game. But since you designed the game script, can you please introduce it to me?"
"certainly."
Li Mingfeng nodded confidently: "The theme of this script is actually a sense of history. Players will play the role of an ordinary naval soldier in this script, returning to the Age of Exploration hundreds of years ago. They will have an unprecedented high degree of freedom in the vast ocean."
"High degree of freedom?"
“That’s right!”
Li Mingfeng smiled. "This is also my original intention in designing the game script. I hope that players can do whatever they want. For example, at the beginning of the game, I designed a total of 16 openings, which will lead to different stories based on the players' choices."
At this point, the player named "Fireworks Are Easy to Cool" on the big screen has already started to take action.
Seeing this, Li Mingfeng continued to explain: "As a patrol soldier, this player has a total of 16 routes. According to this path, he will encounter the game route of "Freedom and Dignity", so he should meet two key NPCs next..."
As soon as he finished speaking, "Fireworks Fade Away" encountered Jenny and Swade.
"very good."
Li Mingfeng nodded in satisfaction. "The route chosen by this player is quite difficult, because Jenny's character is quite special. Although she is a decent character in the game, the daughter of Admiral Isaac, she is cold-hearted by nature and does not value human life."
"As for Swade, he is the son of a naval noble. On the surface, he met Jenny by chance just like the player, but in fact, he had planned this for a long time and wanted to get in touch with Jenny. But this is actually a double trap. Swade's family has actually been running a huge smuggling business."
"They even have a very close connection with one of the six pirate kings in the script, Axeman Summer. So this long-planned meeting is actually a challenge to the navy by the pirate forces. They plan to kidnap Jenny and lure the navy admiral Isaac to death."
As Li Mingfeng explained, everyone present nodded.
"The player's main task at this stage is to find a way to expose Swade's conspiracy and gain Jenny's trust. It sounds simple, but in fact, because Jenny had a good impression of Swade from the beginning, and the player himself is not a noble, it is actually very difficult to gain Jenny's trust. So in my opinion, this player's luck is not very good."
As soon as the words fell.
As the video progressed, Li Mingfeng saw that "Fireworks Are Easy to Cool" shot Swade to death with one shot.
Everyone present: “… ... ... ”
"... ..Ahem!" Li Mingfeng said awkwardly, "Well, it seems that this player is rather reckless, but there is no way to pass the level this way, because if you kill Swade without any evidence, not only will you not gain Jenny's favor, but you will also become a wanted target of the Navy."
"It can be said that this player's game is almost over here."
Then Li Mingfeng saw "Fireworks Are Easy to Cool" kidnap Jenny, and freed the slaves who were used by Jenny as pirate actors.
"... ..ahem!" Li Mingfeng changed the subject: "I was careless just now. This player is quite smart because he accurately found another story line besides Jenny, which is slaves. The reason why this route is called "Freedom and Dignity" is because of the existence of slaves."
"There are only two ways for players to pass this route. One is to expose Swade's conspiracy, gain Jenny's trust and thus be appreciated by Isaac, and finally go out to sea to kill the pirate king Samo who attempted to kidnap Jenny. The other is to liberate the slaves in the military port, and then lead the slaves through a series of hard battles, seize a merchant ship and rush out of the military port, thus becoming the new pirate king."
"Wait a moment."
At this point, Qin Qiuming from the Operations Department finally spoke up: "Can this game still be a pirate game?"
"sure!"
Li Mingfeng nodded proudly. "That's why I think the game script I designed has a high degree of freedom as its selling point. As long as the player wants, he can become a navy or a pirate. And according to this player's idea, he should choose to become a pirate."
“Although the process was somewhat unexpected, it generally did not deviate from my design ideas.”
"Mr. Zhuge, what's wrong with this video?"
"... .Read on."
“... Yes.” Li Mingfeng patiently sat back down.
Then, he saw Gu Moli forcing Jenny and many other nobles into the secret passage, threatening them with an evil smile, and then sealing the entrance to the secret passage.
"... Although it's a bit cruel, it's also for the purpose of diverting attention, so it's not bad."
Then, he saw Gu Moli ordering the slaves to attack the military port, while spreading rumors that he would escape to the commercial port.
"... It's nothing. Although it's a bit hard to understand why he abandoned the slaves, considering the difficulty of leading the slaves out of the port, it's more realistic for one person to escape with the help of a merchant ship. It's a wise move."
Then, he saw Gu Moli swaggering into the Navy Headquarters, asking for Isaac's office, and then walking in openly to ambush.
“… ... ... .”
Li Mingfeng frowned and found something was wrong.
In the end, Isaac and his adjutant returned to the office of the Navy Headquarters, confused by the nobles such as Jenny, the slaves attacking the military port, and the false news of the commercial port. .
... ..delivered to the muzzle of the gun of "Fireworks fade away quickly".
“Da da da da!”
The exploding flames completely tore the adjutant's body apart.
“What the hell!?”
Seeing this, Li Mingfeng finally couldn't help but jump up.
There is such an operation!
However, after discovering that "Fireworks Cool Down" didn't kill Isaac, but instead Isaac took advantage of the blind spot in his vision to knock his submachine gun away and pin him to the ground, Li Mingfeng was relieved: "Although it's a bit unexpected, Isaac is a navy admiral and has very strong fighting skills. Even with guns, the player's chances of winning are not high. But I have to admit that this player is a little smart, but..."
Bang!
Before Li Mingfeng could finish his words, Isaac was shot in the chest by a flintlock rifle that "Fireworks Are Easy to Cool" pulled out of his pocket.
Everyone present: "..."
"No, it's okay!" Li Mingfeng swallowed and continued, "Isaac is not such an easy character to deal with. In fact, there are supernatural settings in the game script, and Isaac, who defeated a pirate king, also has the skill of resurrection from the dead. Just one bullet..."
Then the "Fireworks Cool Down Easily" in the video fired at Isaac with a submachine gun more than thirty times in a row.
Everyone present: “… ”
The atmosphere was very awkward for a while.
"That..." Han Ran from the development department slowly raised his hand: "Mr. Li, have you ever designed a plot in this regard?"
Li Mingfeng: “… ”
Nonsense! Of course not!
Who would have thought that someone could kill the key NPC of the decent side right from the start! Moreover, I have hinted more than once in the game that Admiral Isaac is a fair and strict man who upholds justice, and I was just short of saying that they were friendly forces, but there was a psychopath who killed the friendly forces first... .
This is God's will, not war's fault!
"In short, because of this over-expansion, the script is now stuck. There is an error in the logic system, which will affect the following scripts."
Li Mingfeng immediately broke out in a cold sweat. As a game designer, he feared this kind of situation the most. Considering the particularity of the Hero Trial, if he couldn't think of a way to deal with this kind of accident, he would lose his job as a level three designer.
"Well... we can clear the script data and reset..."
"no."
Zhuge directly rejected this idea: "Now everything related to this script has become a historical event. If it is deleted, the changes will be even greater."
“Hmm!”
Li Mingfeng swallowed his saliva and said, "Then I will take charge of the whole thing, using this historical event as a basis and re-setting a script for buffering..."
"I'm sorry."
Zhuge sighed, then tapped twice on the computer: "There are two more players like this. Because of them, the script is already difficult to coordinate."
"There are two more!?" Li Mingfeng's voice unconsciously rose an octave.
"Yes."
Zhuge shrugged. "Compared to the last two, the first one is still good. He just killed friendly soldiers. The things done by the last two in their respective scripts are equally bad."
“Equally bad?”
"Yes, one of them played the role of Infernal Affairs in a spy war script, and kept jumping between the good and evil factions. As a result, the bosses of the good and evil factions died together. She was recommended by both sides to become the joint leader of the two factions, and was about to lead both sides to a bright future..."
“What the hell?!”
"The other one is about someone who somehow found homemade explosives in a martial arts world, and then piled up more than a hundred of them and buried them under the Cliff of Repentance of the Demon Cult. Finally, on the night of the full moon, when the leader of the Demon Cult and the leader of the martial arts world were fighting, they set fire to the two bosses and blew them to death..."
"What!?"
It is said that talented people come from the common people.
Now it seems that there are more than just talented people, they are all geniuses!
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire conference room was very solemn. Looking at the three "problem players" displayed on the big screen, everyone present had a headache.
Until Mr. Wu, the only one who was not present, spoke.
"Let's do this."
"How about letting me take care of the matters concerning these three players?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuge from the Execution Department showed a hint of relief: "Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Wu. These three players are currently affiliated with the 744 series of scenarios. I feel most at ease leaving it to you."
"Hahaha."
Mr. Wu's hearty laughter came from the computer: "It's okay. The reason I came here was to prevent this kind of thing from happening. And Mr. Li Mingfeng, you don't have to worry. This time it's mainly because the game is not perfect enough. It's not your problem. Just continue to work as usual."
Li Mingfeng was shocked when he heard this: "Thank you! Thank you! I will definitely work harder!"
So the next day.
