Otherworldly Architect

Chapter 135 Happy New Year Chapter

To be honest, Harry's wave of "leaking announcements" can be said to be at the textbook level.

It is a secret that everyone knows, so that people will feel excited and looking forward to it while watching it, and will make people can't wait to share it with friends.

Such an announcement has inspired many people in the advertising industry.

Even, some game companies have already imitated, and they boldly used such copywriting:

【Shock!A 3A-level masterpiece that has been developed for more than ten years has been ruthlessly leaked!Click to download the original game? ! 】

Then there were really stupid players who were fooled and downloaded the game with the mentality of wanting to take advantage.

Finally, after entering the game, I found out that I still have to register an account and pay for the game qualification...

However, if you do something wrong, you have to bear the punishment.

Mingyan will not choose to appease juvenile criminals just because the result is good.

He and Xia Cheng's attitudes towards bear children are surprisingly consistent.

Mingyan: "In the time before us, if any child dared to be naughty, he would be picked up by a bear and eaten."

Well, this is not a rhetorical device.The mutant bears in the last days were really scary...

Xia Cheng: "If the children of the Xia family dare to be so skinny, their legs would have been discounted a long time ago."

After he finished speaking, Ming Yan looked at Xia Cheng's long legs.

Xia Cheng: "Hey, I was very obedient when I was young! I never broke it!"

Before the New Year's Eve, the two had to be busy with their respective jobs for a while.

It wasn't until the end of January that I was finally free again and started a happy New Year's Eve holiday.

Of course, Mingyan will occasionally pay attention to the announcement and release of Tulong Baodao Studio, because "Yunxiang Clothes" is scheduled for February 2th.

During the holidays, the Internet is also active, and everyone suddenly becomes very free.

This once-in-a-year opportunity made Mingjiao seize the opportunity to hold an event.

This year they held a few more offline parties, and by the way, they also held a folk card game online——

The first Knight Card Contest has begun!

"Xia Ke Xing" has always had a built-in chess and card game. Players can play knight cards with NPCs to enhance their relationship, or it can be used purely for entertainment.

The rules of this kind of chess and card game are very simple, it is just to compare whose points are higher, but there are quite a lot of strategies for accumulating points.

Some people play "pairing flow", which is to collect couple decks specially, and play one-on-one, even if they can't win, they will be mad at the opponent.

Some people play "Special Effects" and use all kinds of cards with their own skills, stealing a card from the enemy from time to time and so on.

Up to now, the knight deck has become very extensive. According to statistics, a total of more than 400 cards have been discovered.

All the cards of the knight brand have corresponding NPCs.

For example, a certain scholar, his card is a blue excellent card, with a natural score of 6 points, and his own special skill "Guo Shi Wushuang", which can draw three more cards immediately after he is discarded.

Here I want to say that before the start of the game, the opponent can only see the face of the opponent's cards, but not the special skills of each card.

This kind of game will also test the knowledge level of both players - to see how much he understands the world of the knight line and the rules of the knight card, he will have guesses and early warnings for every possible card.

And in this way, those players who are addicted to playing cards have also started the journey of visiting the forums.

The "Guoshi Wushuang" card is a magical skill among them. Many decks are built around this card. Many players have used it to win more than ten consecutive victories, and they are very famous on the forum.

In order to collect a lot of rare card sets like this, many players will travel thousands of miles to the location where the NPC is, and search for NPCs who can play cards in the local area.

Only fellow NPCs will be able to sell the extra cards in their hands.

Or directly bet against each other, and the winner can choose any card from the opponent's deck-this is the way players prefer.

Some players, who originally entered the game of Xia Ke Xing, are very well-behaved to fight monsters, level up and learn martial arts.

But I don't know what's wrong, maybe I was bewitched by an NPC in the middle of the mountain one time, and after playing a game of knights, I suddenly got out of control...

"What is martial arts? It's not as fun as playing cards!"

"Where are there other fellows? Where are there NPCs who sell knight cards? My deck is still missing a core, and it's really only missing one!"

"What? Your wife was robbed by gangsters and I don't know whether she is alive or dead? Putting this aside for now, do you know how to play the knight card?"

He forgot to sleep and eat, and completely forgot that he still has martial arts.

The designers of Blue Star Studio were quite surprised that the Xia Ke brand became so popular, even beyond the game circle of Xia Ke Xing.

Because such chess and card games with simple rules, easy to learn but difficult to master, in fact, in the interstellar era, there are already as many as crucian carp in the river.

When making chess and card games, many people in the industry know that the most important thing is to attract traffic-whoever can spread the advertisement bigger and attract more people to see it will make money.

Many chess and card games are "monthly throw-away" games. They use a large wave of advertisements to earn a large number of players, and collect a wave of members' wool from the players, and the production team directly withdraws them all, and there is no need to update anything.

This kind of game doesn't consider the later problems, and there are only two customer service members who are perfunctory to the players. In fact, even they can't contact the production team at all, they just seem to have a good attitude in a "hmmhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" attitude.

And the popularity of the Xia Ke brand suddenly made people see from the side how much traffic "Xia Ke Xing" has now.

Because this game doesn't promote the Knight Card at all, it's just a built-in little easter egg, but because there are enough players in the game itself, it's hard to praise the Knight Card.

It's like buying a computer and getting a mouse for free. Because the computer is so popular, the mouse is suddenly very well-known, and it has somehow become a big brand in the mouse industry.

Now, the players have also spontaneously organized folk competitions!

During the New Year's Eve, many people really watched the folk knight game.

The activities held by Mingjiao are very authentic, the process is properly arranged, and the whole game is also broadcast live-this live broadcast room is quite popular on the live broadcast platform, and it is directly classified under "Game- In the category of "Xia Ke Xing".

And the Xia Ke card still has a certain degree of appreciation, especially if you have some understanding of the world of Xia Ke Xing.

You can often see people having a carnival in the barrage.

When a card is played——

[Oh my god, it's Elder Xiao!Eight generations of disciples of the Beggar Gang pay a visit to Elder Xiao! 】

【Elder Xiao, go all the way! 】

[The Great Hero is for the country and the people! 】

The barrage filled the screen immediately, and the grand occasion was the players sharing their emotions.

When the Xia Ke card game reached the final finals and the champion was about to be determined, this small live broadcast room unexpectedly rushed to the top three positions on the popularity list.

Ming Yan and Xia Cheng also came over early to check on the situation.

During the waiting period, the two of them could also take a look at the forums of the Knights Walk—it’s New Year’s Eve, the world of the Knights Walk is also lively, the forums are also lively, and the live broadcast room is also lively, with people crowded everywhere.

The current hot spot on the Knights Forum, in addition to the folk knights card competition, there are also posts about Luanhuan Wonderland.

——Langhuan Wonderland is the Easter egg that Blue Star Studio put in it at that time. Everyone has a cameo in it, even Comrade Xia Cheng.

A lucky player fell off a cliff by accident. He had already closed his eyes and waited to die. Unexpectedly, he did not die, but fell into a cave on the cliff.

There is a blessed place in the cave, and a plaque on it says "Langhuan Wonderland".

Going further inside, he found many magical NPCs.

The quick-witted player immediately understood: Ah!It's my adventure!

So he decisively turned on the recording function and recorded everything he saw and heard into a video.

As soon as this video was released on the forum, it immediately became a popular post, ushering in the carnival of many Blue Star fans.

[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha what is the matter with this fire stick!Are you stuck on my leader? 】

[The leader has a lot of lines, such as "I still have to work", "I'm not as leisurely as you", "Someone is still urging me to work", and "My work is not done yet"... This is too real Bar! 】

[This game is so funny, the whole studio is still playing 23333 in it]

[No, I don't agree, why don't I have such an easter egg in the League of Legends? 】

[This kitten has CC's name on its head?No, I'm a rock n' roll guy is a kitten?This contrast is cute awsl]

[Sisi at close range!My idol is actually in the Xia Ke Xing game!No, I want to go online immediately to find Jumping Cliff to find Langhuan Fairyland. Being able to get Xixi is my lifelong dream! 】

Many Blue Star fans are very fond of Blue Star Studio.

They belonged to playing Blue Star's game and after clearing the level, they would read the list of production staff seriously and carefully.

Because most of the names in it, they really know each other!

I will not mention it clearly, like the leaders of other groups, such as the boss of the art group, Varian Wrynn, is a household name among fans.

He even has his own player hot post, where players collect all his designs together.

Russell's original painting of Blue Star Doomsday, Mortal Soul's big BOSS body original painting, and the concept original painting of the big map of Knights... Fans are all treasured in a photo album.

As far as Mingyan knows, Lao Wa is happy, and often enters this post to see the flattering of players.

Moreover, when he himself looks for things, he will look for convenience and directly browse from this album.

In addition to these two points, there is another hot topic on Blue Star's forum.

How popular is it?

It is said that someone who was far away in the second star province heard about the controversy and flew over during the New Year's Eve holiday just to participate in the real-time discussion.

And once this topic appears on the blog, it is equivalent to "leading a war". Netizens will automatically divide their own camps and start a war clearly.

In reality, as long as a keyword appears, two friends who are chatting may suddenly start a heated debate.

This topic is called——

sweet!salty!party!fight!

[Sweet rice dumplings are the destiny, and salty rice dumplings are rebellious! 】

【The bean paste stuffing is a cult, the bacon rice dumpling is the most authentic rice dumpling】

[Must be salty, sweet ones can't be eaten at all]

[Sweet Zongzi can't lose!Chocolate with candied dates and red bean paste...Sweet Dang Chong Duck! ! ! 】

[Learn more about Yingtian's special double-spelled zongzi, I just learned it from the master! 】

Yep, that's the argument.

Anyway, it's impossible to tell right from wrong, so everyone can speak freely and shout out their favorite zongzi.

Having said that, the word "Zongzi" is still spread from "Xia Ke Xing", and it is said that it was a food that was once popular on Blue Star.

The chefs of the interstellar era have successfully reproduced the production process of zongzi, and the filling formula is the same, and many of them have also added a lot of self-developed formulas.

Soon, zongzi suddenly became the new favorite of the interstellar people.

Although, everyone first regarded it as a "delicious, convenient and beautiful bento" to eat...

For example, during recess at school, some students took out a sandwich, some took out a bento box, and some took out a big rice dumpling.

Well, the students will still be very curious, because zongzi is a very fashionable fashion.

Later, the time in "Xia Ke Xing" came to the Dragon Boat Festival, which suddenly made people realize the true meaning of zongzi.

Regarding the adventure missions of the Dragon Boat Festival, live broadcasts have also been opened on the forums, allowing more people to understand the ancient customs of Blue Star.

On this day, it can be said that hundreds of millions of players ate zongzi.

The northern part of the world of knights eats sweet zongzi, while the southern part eats salty zongzi. NPCs all have their own tastes, so there is nothing wrong with that.

But as soon as everyone went back to the Internet, a dispute arose immediately.

This debate was protracted and lasted until the real New Year's Eve in the Sixth Star Province, and even related debate competitions were held on the forum.

Someone also made a very cute image of sweet and salty rice dumplings, as well as the corresponding four-frame comics, which became an alternative peripheral of "Xia Ke Xing".

It is said that at the end of the year, someone made objective statistics on the forum.

It was finally announced that the Salty Zongzi Party won by a slight margin (about 0.3%)!

Sweet Party expressed his dissatisfaction: [It’s all your fault that you all think that practicing swords is handsome. Of course Yujian Villa eats salty rice dumplings in the south, and so many disciples also eat salty rice dumplings! 】

In order to express their dissatisfaction, they recently established a player guild in the Knights, the name is "sweetness is justice".

And the anti-salty party is definitely not far behind. The guild they established is called "Salty is king".

As a matter of course, the former Sweet Party Guild basically unified the North, while the latter Salty Party Guild dominated the South.

The channels of these two guilds are very lively every day.

During the vacation, Mingyan and Xia Cheng were watching the hot posts of players while experiencing last year's new game.

Last year, together with "Xia Ke Xing", it won the best game of the year, "Warrior Armor", which is indeed very fun.

Moreover, it is a style that is clearly not familiar. The background is set in the "future future" that is more developed than interstellar, and it is a very hardcore science fiction.

Mingyan learned a lot of new concepts from this game, and he wrote them down in his notebook.

If he has time, he would like to have a chat with the producer of "Warrior Armor", and feels that both parties will gain something.

Therefore, on behalf of Blue Star, he also issued a small blue badge invitation letter, inviting the other party to visit the Blue Star Building.

At the same time, Mingyan also received a thank you letter in his mailbox.

Letters from ordinary players have already received countless letters in their open personal mailboxes, and many of them are like this:

Regardless of Sanqi 21, first shoot some rainbow farts, then express a desire to test qualifications/interview qualifications, and finally end with a standard ending-reminder.

A reminder is procedural justice among players!

But this email is quite special, especially because the person who wrote it is a tester of the League One.

The tester was very sincerely grateful for Mingyan's "Xia Ke Xing", he actually learned a lot from an NPC in "Xia Ke Xing", which made him realize the true meaning of life.

After reading his email, Mingyan felt a little emotional, and sent him a small blue badge invitation letter.

Of course, what Mingyan did not expect was that the tester named Maynard came to Blue Star Studio after the New Year's Eve for a visit.

He saw two big programmers sitting and talking.

Horace was dressed in a Tang suit, holding Sisi dignifiedly and stroking; while Schrödinger was dressed as a scholar and equipped with a feather fan scarf.

The two were drinking tea and chatting about the types of oolong tea.

When the tester saw Schrödinger, he was suddenly very moved, and expressed emotion on his personal blog: "Blue Star Studio is really making games with heart, and only by fully immersing ourselves in the ancient cultural atmosphere can we make such a game. A strong plot!"

Later, the tester actually submitted his resignation letter to League One again, and came to participate in the social recruitment of Blue Star Studio.

So in the new year, Blue Star Studio ushered in a new member——

A full-time tester from League One, Maynard.

He is very old and has a very rich resume. When he came in, he was directly assigned to the position of the middle-level leader.

However, when other people showed admiration, Maynard said very modestly: "Jumping jobs like me is not really a skill, it's just accumulating experience and qualifications. What is really powerful is Ming Chief teacher, he only needs to say that he is the chief designer of Blue Star, and he does not need any other experience to add luster, he himself is the biggest name in this industry."
