Otherworldly Architect (The Strongest Game Architect)

v3 Chapter 160: hot hot hot

Regardless of the outside world, Bluestar Studio is still in a stable development process.

Of course, they didn’t miss the League of Legends finals in October on their schedule—every year on this day, Blue Star Studios has a half-day vacation for everyone to watch the game together.

It's been like this every year, and this year isn't much different.

It's just that now Bluestar can only watch the live broadcast, and there is no official channel.

It's all because last year's final was in the fifth-star province next door, and the trophy went there, so this year's final is also held online there.

The two star provinces are separated by tens of thousands of light-years, so even the live broadcast of the superluminal channel will be slightly delayed.

But at least, this year's final championship was won by the sixth star province.

On the Internet, it can be said that the whole world is celebrating, and every sixth-star province player is like a glory, and happily swipes the screen.

This year, there is another good news about "League of Legends", that is, major colleges and universities have successively opened "League of Legends" courses in e-sports majors, including Mingyan's alma mater, the Royal Game Academy.

E-sports is already a very popular major in this era. Every course is carefully set up. All teachers and students are aiming at Chaoyang League's biggest e-sports award - the champion of the League A National Championship.

With the increasing status of the League of Legends in the history of the game, the players of the League of Legends are getting higher and higher in the league events, and the opening of the League of Legends courses has gradually become an urgent matter.

Students have long wanted to research League of Legends!

Nowadays, if you want to play the League A game, basically starting from the audition, it is easy to encounter League of Legends players.

If you want to continue on the road of e-sports, you must understand the various occupations, characteristics, skills and even tactical arrangements of the League of Legends.

However, because this game has just entered its seventh season, there are not many teaching books on the market, and there are many scattered guides on the Internet, but they are not enough to become learning materials for professional e-sports players.

For this reason, the teachers of the Royal Academy were also very worried. They were writing the textbook for this course, so they also contacted the people from Blue Star Studio.

Of course, they did not expect to find Ming Yan himself.

The goal is decided to be one of the current professional designers of "League of Legends", Lu Kevin!

This is why Lu Kaiwen came to Mingyan and wanted to take a leave of absence.

Ming Yan smiled and said, "Are you going to write a textbook?"

Lu Kaiwen blushed a little, rubbed his hands together and said, "I've always had a lot of ideas about teaching and educating people. I've written a lot of articles on my blog, but I just can't find time to write books. Look, the seventh season recently It just ended successfully, and I don't have any important tasks right now..."

Mingyan patted him on the shoulder and said, "I will approve the leave, it's nothing, is there a replacement for the job?"

Lu Kevin nodded quickly and said, "Yu Bing can take over."

Yu Bing was the rookie contest player back then. Now that he has successfully completed his studies, the first thing he did was to come to Blue Star to participate in the school recruiting—then, Lu Kevin took a fancy to him and stayed, and is currently in the League of Legends group. through his probationary period.

Lu Kaiwen arranged it properly, nodded happily, and said, "It's time to leave, but it won't be too long. I'll come back early after writing."

Hearing what he said, Lu Kevin felt that the boss valued him very much, and said happily, "It must be."

Taking this opportunity, Ming Yan also went to see Yu Bing.

Four or five years have passed, and Yu Bing has matured a lot. He is no longer the childish student who was speechless on the field.

He had just been an intern at Blue Star for three months, but his face was filled with a bubbling expression of happiness. Those who didn't know it thought it was the honeymoon groom.

This is really the smile that a boy who has just achieved his dream can have.

He is still a super little fan of Mingyan, even the mobile screen saver has its own Blue Star LOGO, and there is a sentence [Has Master Ming released a new game today? 】

I heard that during the interview, the interviewer asked Yu Bing, "Why did you choose to come to Bluestar?"

Yu Bing raised her head and said excitedly, "I liked Bluestar long before my college entrance examination! I want to make games, Master Ming is my idol, and Bluestar has always been my dream. I applied for the game design major. After graduation, I participated in the Star Show Competition. Later, I interned in the Tulong Baodao studio, and then went to the second star province to continue my studies... In order to realize my dream one day, I came to work in the Blue Star studio. !"

After he finished speaking, this sentence was circulated among the interviewers for a time.

This stupid boy, no one said that in the last round of interviews. In another company, when the interviewer's intention is so strong, he may be forced to press his minimum wage.

Fortunately, Bluestar is not bad, they offer the best price and provide the best creative environment for the best gamers.

Ming Yan told Xia Cheng about Yu Bing, and he was quite emotional, and said, "How does time pass by so fast, I'm getting old, and the next generation has grown up."

Xia Cheng looked helpless and said, "You felt old when you first graduated. Seven years have passed, and you haven't changed at all."

Ming Yan said blankly: "Ah? Did I really say that at that time?"

"You didn't smile much back then, and your whole person looked like an old fairy." Xia Cheng's face was filled with expressions that recalled the hard times of the past, "I went to your house to grow up with you. During the New Year's Day, you looked at Lan Xing with melancholy and deepness written all over your face. Later, after pursuing you for more than a year, you didn't even know about it!"

Ming Yan said with a guilty conscience: "No way, I'm quite outgoing and outgoing. And, and I'm not that slow...right?"

Xia Cheng sighed and said, "It's still as good as it is now."

The transformation happens little by little.

Once Ming Yan was restless, sleeping with a suicide note under his pillow.

He was very afraid - afraid that he would not wake up once he fell asleep, afraid that this strange world would never accept him, and there might be a feeling of loneliness that "I am the only one left in Blue Star".

But now, like a recovered patient, he gradually came to the warm sunshine.

Xia Cheng is the conscientious nurse. He still stares at Ming Yan like an old mother: "What time did you go to bed last night? Are you full at night? Go to the gym with me on weekends, eh?"

Ming Yan leaned on him, played with Xia Cheng's fingers, and said, "Someone just asked me for leave today, and he went to write a book. Well, anyway, the finals are over now, and the League A dinner is still early... ... I might as well give myself a vacation."

Xia Cheng smiled, lowered his head and stroked his cheek with a bit of emotion.

After more than seven years, the aging stone is finally willing to let go of himself and truly embrace the new life.

...

Master Ming and his boyfriend ran out for vacation.

And it is said that it is the Wilderness Survival Club again, this time they went directly to the frozen wilderness to the north.

Although there is a satellite phone to keep in touch, the two of them will definitely not be able to deal with daily affairs on the way, and they will all be handed over to their deputies, assistants and secretaries.

This month's Blue Star studio is estimated to have the lowest attendance rate ever.

Mingyan went on vacation, Lu Kevin went to write a book, Ling Xiaoman was ashamed to "face the wall and thought about it" because he realized that he was fooled (he went into the little black room to create), Varian went to accompany his elderly mother who suffered from severe morning sickness. now...

So much so that this group of players who came to visit with a small blue badge were shocked to find that the offices of several bigwigs were empty.

【Shock! Bluestar Studio was overwhelmed by AR games and ran away collectively! 】

[Master Ming disappeared again, do you plan to repeat the "magic two months" incident and come back with 18 new game concepts? 】

[Bluestar has 200 people left behind, 180 of whom are programmers. Is this a lack of humanity or a loss of morality...]

The duo of Schrödinger and Horace who were forced to stay behind: "...Ha!"

At this point in the game development cycle, programmers are really busy doing the underlying architecture and can't get away at all.

Horace in the backend is solving a long-standing problem: how to randomly generate dragon eggs on the map of the Sunrise Alliance.

The public beta of "Dragon Hunter" is at least open to all players in the sixth star province. At that time, tens of thousands of human-inhabited planets in thousands of star systems in the entire region will need to be able to give birth to dragon eggs out of thin air.

But where exactly the dragon eggs were born requires an accurate and unmistakable algorithm.

Ming Yan has put forward requirements for this: it must be a place that humans can walk directly to, not too high above sea level, not too low above sea level, not a road with traffic risks, not a too formal public place, not a Serious political environment, not in the bathroom (with gender issues), not in protected cultural relics...

On this basis, in the remaining safe area, random dragon eggs should be born at random places and at random times.

Horace: "..." What we need is probably not an algorithm, but a brand new "egg-laying AI".

So far, AI has only begun to take shape.

In order to make continuous progress in testing and learning, the two programmers put AI on the Golden Gate Bridge and replaced the simple generation algorithm there.

This new AI, called "Santa Claus", began his career of placing dragon eggs on the Golden Gate Bridge every day.

But before it came back, it made a bug.

A bug known as "Fantasy Egg" in gaming history originated entirely when "Santa Claus" messed up the textures.

It mistakenly projected the texture of the Dream Eater on the dragon egg of the deep sea dragon, resulting in the dragon egg having both cascading sharp scales and a strange and bizarre appearance.

The egg was gray in color, the twisted colors formed a vortex, and the black hole in the middle occasionally flashed (in fact, the texture of the Dream Eater was blinking).

The super lucky guy who picked up the egg opened his scroll, only to find that the egg's name was "Dong Dang Dang Kun Jin Kuo".

"?????"

Of course, this egg has never appeared on the Golden Gate Bridge, so as soon as it appeared, it caused an uproar among players.

【Ultra-rare dragon eggs are born! ! ! I bet it's an SSSSSR! 】

[Where is the initial video? 】

[Bid 20,000 yuan for purchase! Even if you can't buy it, please contact me, I want to watch the hidden dragon species up close, for a fee! 】

This dragon egg, no one thought it was a bug at all.

All players think this is a super rare hidden dragon species, they call it a "dream egg", and then put it on the hot search!

At this time, Ming Yan was still happily vacationing with Xia Cheng, and the bunch of programmers who left behind didn't hear anything out of the window. It wasn't until the next day that he found out: things have happened!

Schrodinger: "..."

Horace: "..."

Santa Claus:"……"

Oh shit, it's over.
