Chapter 271 Pioneer in the Cultural Field (Second Update)

"What's going on with the teachers lately?"

In the comics editorial department, the editors felt that something was wrong with the authors they led.

Several cartoonists who can be called model workers actually took a break for a week, and several cartoonists who drew romantic comedies suddenly joined the battle. A new character who doesn't like playing games actually appeared on the show. Moreover, these new characters The characters are all quite real.

After contacting other magazines, they found that cartoonists from other magazines had more or less similar problems.

A similar situation occurred with Liuliuzi, a teacher under the Zhongshan editor. Although he did not suspend the publication, there were also some problems with the manuscripts he submitted.

Love becomes more delicate.

The ignorant love emotion became more youthful, and the originally wooden male protagonist actually started to blush, while the female protagonist seemed to be more cute.

As the person who led Liuzi into the industry, the Zhongshan editor felt it immediately.

"Isn't Teacher Liuliuzi in love?" the Zhongshan editor said in confusion.

"How is it possible? Cartoonists don't have time to fall in love." Another editor said, "But it would be bad if he falls in love with someone from a custom shop."

"What should we do?" the Zhongshan editor said distressedly, "Teacher Liuliuzi is one of our pillars. He got first place last time. We can't mess around with this."

"It's better to go and have a look, and please Zhongshan-san, please help us set up a conversation and see if anything is wrong with the others."

With the expectations of his colleagues, during the lunch break, the Zhongshan editor bought some snacks as gifts and went to visit Liuzi.

The other party's apartment is not far from the editorial office, just a ten-minute walk away.

He sent an email in advance to communicate, but the other party never responded.

This abnormal phenomenon made the Zhongshan editor even more uneasy. After buying some snacks, he immediately rushed to Liuzi's apartment.

According to etiquette, he rang the doorbell three times. Zhongshan waited for a long time and didn't wait for the door to open, so he rang it three more times.

After finding that there was still no response, Zhongshan became even more worried.

When he was considering whether to call the police, the door was opened, and Liuzi with messy hair appeared behind the door. He stared at Zhongshan at the door for a while and then said: "It turns out to be Mr. Zhongshan."

"Ah, Teacher Liuliuzi, are you okay? I'm really embarrassed to come here rashly, but Teacher Liuliuzi, your recent situation has made me deeply uneasy, so I still came."

"Mr. Zhongshan, let's come in and talk. You are too long-winded every time."

Zhongshan nodded, and then followed Liuzi into the other party's room.

There was a smell in the room, the smell of sweat mixed with the smell of bento, making it easy to think of the workplace after working all night.

Liuzi opened the window to let the room breathe, then leaned on the lazy sofa on the balcony and said to Zhongshan: "You can sit down wherever you want, you're welcome."

Zhongshan also skillfully took out a can of beer from the refrigerator, and after one sip, he felt much better.

The previous rigid work attitude disappeared, and Zhongshan relaxed.

Lying down opposite Liuzi, Zhongshan said happily: "Liuzi, you are more comfortable here. The editorial department is too depressing."

"Every time I want to say, you Sakura people are living too repressed lives. You should divide your speech into honorifics and modesty, wear clothes according to your status when going to work, pay attention to the inclination angle of seals, and throw away garbage. To divide the date, is this the way people live?"

"No, it's more comfortable to stay with Liuzi."

After taking another sip of beer, Zhongshan loosened his tie and asked, "Liuzi, what have you been busy with recently? You don't know how to fall in love anymore."

"Women only interfere with my time drawing comics and playing games."

Zhongshan looked at Liu Zi seriously, and then asked: "What if the other party is a girl who likes your comics and will play games with you?"

"..."

"And the other party is very beautiful and cute?"

"……Um……"

"There really is! Such a girl either doesn't exist, or she's a liar!"

"Well...it does exist, but it's just in the game..."

"Yi, it's easy to say, is it a horse girl, an idol, or a ship girl?"

"It's like a god."

"...I feel that no matter how lonely I am, it is not okay to worship questionable religions."

"No, that's it..."

After the explanation, Zhongshan finally understood which art goddess was who.

Zhongshan also plays games on a daily basis, but they are traditional games from Sakura Country.

He won't touch Little Butter, and he has no patience for the soul type, so he can only develop himself by playing horse racing and become a horse lover.

However, he basically just clicks on this type of game and doesn't move. He can't compare with other players who play for hours.

After learning that Liu Zi was addicted to "Princess Dungeon 2" recently, he felt that he knew the truth.

No wonder Liuzi's comics have more love elements. It turns out to be the reason for this game.

Just hearing the name, he took it for granted that it was a love game, and began to fantasize about the content of the game.

Little butter!

Definitely a little butter!

The game should include all kinds of princesses that can be conquered, including Slime Princess, Succubus Princess, Bowser Princess, all arrangements for tsundere and yandere, the wife next door, the daughter next door, and the old lady next door all. Match it so that it can have the corresponding charm.

Nodding, Zhongshan said to Liu Zi: "Liu Zi, take care of yourself."

"I understand. By the way, why don't you also experience "Princess Dungeon 1", just like fishing."

"Here! It's not good, isn't it?"

"What's wrong? The computer is over there. Go and experience it."

After being dragged to the computer, Zhongshan watched with embarrassment as Liuzi opened the game. Then after discovering that the content of the game was very different from what he thought, the confusion on his face quickly disappeared.

The developer of this game probably doesn’t understand games at all.

But after playing it, there was only one sentence left in his mind.

Damn it!

The game can still be like this!

At this moment, he seemed to find that the door to a new world had opened, and his desire for games was fully explored. He discovered that it was not that he was not interested in games, but that he had not found a game that he liked.

The game time of each game is not long, but the whole process is so exciting that people feel so excited. The appearance of key equipment makes people secrete adrenaline crazily. The whole person is in a state of anticipation almost every second.

After playing until the evening, Zhongshan reluctantly raised his head and said to Liuzi seriously: "Liuzi, I finally understand why you are so addicted."

"You haven't played 2 yet, 2 is even more powerful."

"Really!"

"Well, let's play on the computer first, and I'll help you create a new account."

After playing "Princess Dungeon 2" once, Zhongshan was stunned.

The second generation has further developed on the basis of the first generation. The design of various interspersed puzzles and numerical values ​​has made great progress. The numerical planning of the game has become more mature after a year of experience.

Numerical planners are the core characters of a game. They may not be conspicuous, but the entire game experience depends on their numerical values.

Comparing the first generation and the second generation, Zhongshan can feel that the numerical planning of this studio has not grown a little bit, but has improved by leaps and bounds.

His numerical adjustments were more detailed, and the numerical attributes of various props seemed exaggerated, but they were always within the opponent's plan.

The combination of special weapons is also remarkable. Some weapons look like they are funny, but they have specific uses in specific locations.

If you play along with the other studio, you may not feel much, but if you put the previous and later games together, you can clearly feel the improvement.

After finishing a dungeon, Nakayama leaned back on his chair and couldn't help but sigh: "This is the work of the Game Master."

"Yeah, it's amazing."

"It's really amazing. By the way, Liuzi, you just said you would use the computer to play for the time being. Is there something more exciting?"

"Well, come to the bedroom with me."

Following Liuzi to the bedroom in confusion, Zhongshan saw the game cabin here.

The high-tech appearance instantly conquered Zhongshan and made him think of an impossible way to play the game.

"Virtual Reality?"

"Yes, many fellow cartoonists have bought this thing recently. At first, I heard that this thing helps sleep, and then I found that it can also play games while sleeping, so many leading cartoonists have bought it. . Currently you can only play three games, but more games will be released for free in the future."

"Really! Where did they hear about this thing? And how did they buy it?"

"From me."

Turning his head violently, Zhongshan looked at Liu Zi and found that the culprit was beside him.

Zhongshan looked at the machine, admiring its shell intoxicated, and then asked expectantly: "Can I try it?"

"Okay, but you can use another one. I bought one specially for my assistant."

"How was the response?"

"They work overtime so hard that even if they don't get overtime pay, they will have to work overtime."

"Is it that powerful?"

Suspicious, he got into another game cabin. When Zhongshan came out, he was completely stupid.

It was difficult for him to describe his feelings. He only knew that today he finally knew what freedom was.

The vast grassland made him yearn for it, and he had never experienced the unrestrained animal life.

This is the game!

No wonder the assistants all had to work overtime, so he would work overtime too, and he would have to work overtime until the last train left, then lie in there and play in the dark.

Returning to the editorial office, he was in better spirits than ever before and started today's work with full energy, looking through today's submissions.

Editors receive a large number of submissions every day and classify them into categories such as junk, adaptable, conference-ready, and masterpieces.

After being submitted to the meeting for review, it will be circulated by all editors and compared with other works. The promising ones will be serialized into short stories.

If the short series has a good response, there is a chance that it will be serialized into a long series.

Today's submissions are the same as before, most of them are of little value, but one of them still aroused Zhongshan's interest.

The other party's painting skills were mediocre and the storyboards were mediocre, but they were the subject of few virtual games. This gave Zhongshan some ideas.

Based on what he saw at Liuzi's house, he decided to ask the other party to visit him in person, and then have a good communication with him.

Zhongshan's experience is just a microcosm of many comics editors.

Although the game cabin is still a niche game console, some people have already seen its unparalleled potential.

The times are advancing and technology is developing. The emergence of game cabins will drive a new round of gaming craze. It is the quality of every entertainment worker to clearly understand the development of the times.

As long as you see the game cabin and play the games inside, you will know what kind of changes this thing will bring and what kind of waves it will create.

The decisions of Zhongshan and others will in turn affect the public's acceptance of virtual reality and serve as a pioneer for Kirin Industries' development in the spiritual field.

Like Zhongshan, Beimirandik came out of it with a livid face after experiencing "Princess Dungeon 2" in the game cabin.

He really didn't know much about games, but after experiencing this game, he still felt huge fear and uneasiness.

This game is so much fun.

He had no idea that virtual reality games would be so well integrated with swipe games.

What he didn't expect was that Fangcheng Studio would be so courageous.

All well-known weapons and equipment can be seen in the game, and each weapon prop has its own independent model and can be disassembled.

The structure in each dungeon is different. Although it can be seen that it is random, the randomness is quite high-level.

The AI ​​of NPCs is incredibly strong, and NPCs with good-looking characters and bad-looking characters will have different reactions.

Not to mention the biggest selling point of virtual reality, authenticity.

That's not a game at all, it's another reality!

After contacting local VR equipment manufacturers in North America through the North American Game Union, Landick heard even more shocking news.

They have dismantled and analyzed the game cabin, but their existing technology cannot restore it yet.

"This is a genius device." The hardware engineer on the opposite side said helplessly, "We can't restore it for the time being. But the other side's structure still gave us a lot of inspiration. We can try to make a degraded version, and the degree of fidelity is probably Only 10%. But it’s very difficult to reach this level.”

The hesitant tone on the other end made Randyk's anger rise, but he still restrained himself and asked: "What is the current normal state?"

"3%..."

"This is not virtual reality at all!"

"Yes. And we found that the hardware can still try to make a breakthrough, but the startup settings inside are currently the most difficult to imitate. We can analyze that the other party uses a method of simulating fetal dreams to make people fall asleep and hypnotize quickly, but it is difficult for us Restore relevant data."

"Is it so difficult?"

"Yes. The other party's data is too sophisticated. We suspect that the other party must have monitored the data of millions of fetuses, and finally we can accurately restore this situation. It can be said that this startup program is the soul of the game cabin."

"Okay, I know."

After hanging up the phone, Landick said to his assistant: "Send an email to Fangcheng Studio for me."

"What's the content?"

"Tell them that if they are willing to provide the activation data of the game cabin, I will help lobby to lift their ban in North America."

Taking a deep breath, Landick seemed to have made a great sacrifice, lit a cigar and added: "They should thank me for my kindness."

Looking at Landick like this, his assistant felt that Druid Entertainment might not be able to go too far.

I'm still not feeling well today, so I'll update twice, sorry.
