Vol 2 Chapter 295: One Emperor, One Courtier

Chapter 295: One Emperor, One Courtier

Minh’s newly-developed piece of information for Counter-Strike online is called-Who and Counter-Strike Fight. Minh adds a new competitive mode, and the game method returns to tradition. Only 5 players from each country can enter the same map. At this stage, each map only has players from the four regions of China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, and a total of 20 players enter the same map to engage in fierce confrontation. In the future, there will be up to 6 regions and 30 players will play on the same map.

This new competitive mode is divided into several game modes such as "protecting hostages", "blowing up enemy buildings", and "capture the flag". Players from the four regions will be in groups of five, and they will play indiscriminately against each other. Each round will be won. Negative ranking. At the same time, minh canceled the ranking of the number of national bureaus on the homepage of the client, and adopted a points system. The first place has 3 points, the second place has 2 points, the third place has 1 point, and the last place has zero points. This scoreboard is cleared once a month. If players from any country can get the first place for three consecutive months, "Second World" will reward players from that country in the game.

Everyone is very optimistic about the new expansion of minh, but as for the final result, it depends on the market.

"Second World" Vice President Gable, who also serves as the head of the fifth game development department, is in charge of the development of Half-Life 2 is still in intense and orderly research and development, but because it has just reached a cooperation with the "Blizzard Entertainment" company to jointly develop new The 3d engine agreement, although the new 3d engine is still in the foreseeable future, after getting the "Blizzard Entertainment" engine, Gable has discovered the advanced technology in it. "Blizzard Entertainment"'s 3d engine is indeed superior in terms of optimization, which can greatly reduce the game's demand for computer configuration, which is one of the reasons why Blizzard's games can be popular all over the world. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Of course, this also means that the half-life 2 previously developed by Gabriel will be overturned, but for a game developer who pursues perfection, it is normal for a game to be overturned and restarted. When Gable developed Half-Life, he was completely overthrown and restarted twice, only to have half-life's brilliance.

However, in the process of developing Half-Life 2, Gable also followed Lin Feng's instructions to launch the simplified Chinese version of Half-Life. It was just a change of language. It couldn't be easier. However, Half-Life did not adopt the traditional sales model of CD-ROMs. Instead, it was sold on the "steam" system developed by Gable using Cohen's "bt technology". However, considering that Half-Life has been on the market for more than 2 years, so The simplified Chinese version this time is named Half-Life Nostalgic Edition. Players on the "steam" system can purchase the Half-Life Nostalgic Edition for only 4.8 yuan.

I don't know if it is because the price is too low, or because everyone likes Half-Life, the Nostalgic Edition of Half-Life sold 230,000 copies in mainland China, bringing a profit of 1.104 million yuan to the company, which is an accident. Surprise.

"Well, everyone, let's talk about the construction of the company's headquarters building. Do you have any good architects to recommend?" Lin Fengwang thought of everyone.

Everyone looked at each other with helpless expressions. They are all leaders in the game industry. They are good at developing games. When it comes to architecture, they are really idiots. Although I checked a lot of information and consulted a lot of related professionals, I was still very vague about the style of the "Second World" headquarters building.

Although the construction of the headquarters building is a very important event for the company, in the end Wu Zhaopu and the others shrugged shamelessly and looked at Lin Feng with an expression that you just made your decision.

Lin Feng was speechless, but fortunately, he had a surprise when he went to Irvine City this time, otherwise he wouldn't have to catch the blind like them.

"Come on, take a look. This is the architect I want to invite to design the ‘Second World’ headquarters building. Please give me some suggestions." Lin Feng handed Wu Zhaopu and others a copy of the information.

Wu Zhaopu opened it, Tom Wright, a strange name. He had heard of "fl Wright" (built the most famous "Flowing Water Villa"), "wk Harrison" (United Nations Headquarters Building), "j. Wu Zhong" (Sydney Opera House) and others during this period of time. Name, this Tom Wright is really the first time I have heard of it.

Wu Zhaopu looked at the others, but also looked blank, apparently he had never heard of this person's name. But when Wu Zhaopu opened the second page, a big picture of the "Arab Star" (the Burj Al Arab Hotel) was signed underneath-designer: Tom Wright.

Seeing this, Wu Zhaopu didn't look down anymore. With this "Arab Star" alone, this Tom Wright can be the design of the "Second World" headquarters building, not to mention that they have no good candidates to recommend.

"Dong Lin, I just want him. I believe that Dong Lin chose the best choice." Wu Zhaopu flattered him irresponsibly.

"Yes, Lin Dong's choice is definitely the best choice." Cui Ming and others also nodded.

Lin Feng was speechless again.

The meeting ended in a high-level flattery. After seeing Lin Feng helplessly leave the meeting room, everyone stroked their chests with guilty conscience. During this period of time, although everyone was also concerned about the construction of the "Second World" headquarters, what everyone was really proficient in was the game. Thinking that there was a boss with almost magical powers behind him, everyone unanimously chose to ignore the construction of the "Second World" headquarters and handed him full power to Lin Feng. As for the flattery just now, everyone was irritated by Lin Feng that they didn't take the construction of the company headquarters building to heart and lost their temper.

But everyone is sure again that the boss is omnipotent. Going out casually, not only disturbed the turmoil in Hollywood, it made Hollywood's gold directors not shoot movies, and went to make TV series. They also set up the "Lin Feng Charity Fund" in the United States. When they came back, they also brought back a talented architect. People admire.

Everyone again decided that they would not worry about these "miscellaneous things" in the future and concentrate on developing their own games. It's hard work for those who can! Besides, Lin Feng's decision is extremely correct every time, so why bother to get mice. If Lin Feng knew everyone's thoughts, he wouldn't know whether he would vomit blood in anger. Of course, this is also good, everyone will not be distracted, and can develop the game wholeheartedly.

When Lin Feng returned to the villa, it was time for dinner. The seven girls are already waiting for Lin Feng at the dinner table. (Saori Hara also returned from Japan)

"Hey, there are so many people? Are all waiting for me?" Lin Feng was moved a little. Li Zhiyou waited for himself because the relationship between the two was different. The other girls were also waiting for him with a look of expectation, which made Lin Feng extremely moved. Looking at the seven delicate faces, Lin Feng was full of excitement.

"Brother Lin, sit down! I'll serve you rice." Li Zhiyou obediently served Lin Feng a bowl of rice.

Lin Feng nodded.

"Brother Lin, eat vegetables!" Lin Zhihui quickly picked up a chopsticks dish for Lin Feng.

Lin Feng smiled.

"Well, Brother Lin eats vegetables." Liu Yifei also gave Lin Feng a chicken leg.

Lin Feng noticed something was wrong.

"Brother Lin, come and have some soup." Allegra filled Lin Feng with a bowl of soup.

Seeing that the vegetables in the bowl were about to pile up, Lin Feng knew that these girls must have something to ask for himself.

"Let's talk about it, what's the matter?" Lin Feng asked helplessly, shaking his head.

"Hehe!" The women giggled.

auzw.com "Brother Lin, is that Tom Cruise handsome?"

"Is Leonardo DiCaprio really that handsome?"

......

With your words and my words, the ladies are asking about the top Hollywood superstars, and they look like a star chaser.

Lin Feng was speechless, and dared to feel that these girls treat themselves this way, not for themselves but for the Hollywood stars. Although he was hurt in his heart, Lin Feng answered them one by one. A group of Orioles-like voices circling in the ears, it is always a pleasant thing to make people feel.

Lin Feng couldn't help thinking that Irving City saw the family happiness of Pereira's family, which could be regarded as an alternative "family happiness".

But Lin Feng didn't know that in Beijing, Huang Shuqi, a childhood sweetheart, looked sad.

"Shuqi, you should ask your Xiaofeng brother to be obedient, because my aunt gives so much money to her family, hiding around is no way." Huang Shuqi's best friend Li Qing suggested.

"Yes, although 3.7 million is an astronomical figure for ordinary people, it is only a fraction of a fraction for your Xiaofeng brother. According to the latest Hurun rankings, your Xiaofeng brother's net worth is 84. Million yuan, he is the youngest and richest man in mainland China. This amount of money is really nothing to him." Another best friend Tian Yutong also persuaded him.

The persuasion of two buddies, Huang Shuqi didn't know how. It's just that the amount owed by her mother this time is too large, 3.7 million. Huang Shuqi wants to cry when she thinks of this figure. She worked a month in the "Second World" during the summer vacation, with a monthly salary of 8,000 yuan. She wanted to repay 3.7 million gambling debts. She had to work 462.5 months without food or drink, for a total of more than 38 years. Huang Shuqi thought of this number. gosh. Huang Shuqi still didn't know that she could earn 8,000 yuan a month in the "Second World". That was Lin Feng's intention to ask the Finance Department to give it to him, and Lin Feng would pay for it personally (distribution of public and private accounts). Otherwise, if Huang Shuqi is a one-year college student, not to mention whether there is a company willing to hire, even if the market price of the hire is generally around 4,000, which is converted into a monthly salary of 4,000 yuan, Huang Shuqi will have to work all his life to pay off this gambling debt.

"Shuqi, just make a phone call, it's very simple." Li Qing and others were also worried about Huang Shuqi, and they were comforting again and again. In this situation, they couldn't think of a way. After thinking about it, only Lin Fengneng was able to help Huang Shuqi solve this debt.

Huang Shuqi hesitated to pick up the phone, both of her willow brows were frowning, her face was sad and embarrassed. But in the end Huang Shuqi was still relieved to call.

"Shuqi, what's the matter?" Li Qing asked puzzledly.

Huang Shuqi shook her head.

"I want to calm down alone, don't follow me." After speaking, Huang Shuqi walked out of the dormitory.

Walking around the campus of Peking University at will, Huang Shuqi has many thoughts. The reason she didn't want to make this call was because she didn't want to always trouble Lin Feng, and didn't want Lin Feng to think that she was just a person who kept causing trouble. Especially she didn't want the girl next to Lin Feng to look down. She has her pride and reservedness, but her mother is too unbelievable.

Thinking of her mother, Huang Shuqi felt angry and distressed. Lin Feng gave her 300,000 yuan and asked her to pay her mother's debt. The next day Huang Shuqi put the money into her mother's account and called her mother repeatedly to warn her not to gamble. At that time, when Huang Shuqi's mother learned that Lin Feng had helped him pay off the debt, she was thankful and proud, boasting that she had given birth to a good daughter. Huang Shuqi was helpless and somewhat proud of her mother's boasting, at least her Xiaofeng brother always cared about her.

As a result, it was only more than a month. When her mother called again the day before yesterday, she warned Huang Shuqi to be careful not to believe any strangers, let alone walk with strangers easily. Huang Shuqi realized that something was not right at the time, and after repeated questioning, her mother faltered and told her about the matter-saying that she had won a few gambling games. After winning a few, Huang Shuqi repaid her debt before sending her 300,000 yuan. Also made a small profit. Later, with Huang Shuqi's 300,000 yuan, she became obsessed with money and became a banker for gambling, collecting money from all over the world, and became the first big sister of gambling in Chu City.

In the beginning, although Huangmu has won and lost, it still makes a profit in general. Unexpectedly, in subsequent games, Huang Mu lost more and more, and the gamblers pressured the bet more and more. In the end Huang Mu owed 3.7 million gambling debts. In desperation, she can only run away. Fortunately, she still felt very distressed for her daughter. She was afraid that the other party could not find herself and would make trouble for her daughter, so she called her daughter in advance.

Huang Shuqi sighed, 3.7 million, an astronomical figure, how can she pay it back? Looking at the dark night sky, Huang Shuqi looked helpless.

Naturally, Lin Feng didn't know Huang Shuqi's distress. At this moment, he was lingering in the gentle homeland. The so-called little love wins newlyweds. Lin Feng has just returned from the United States. Naturally, he has a lot to say to Li Zhiyou.

One night of spring.

The next day, Lin Feng got up early. Today is the time for the launch of Audition’s all-star lineup expansion. Lin Feng is going to the company to see with his own eyes how good the expansion can be, whether the fans of those stars are as crazy as he expected, for the love in his heart Stars do not hesitate to spend big money.

After eating a hearty breakfast, Lin Feng rushed to the company. Li Zhiyou and others now go to work in a nanny car arranged by the company. After all, Lin Feng is now a celebrity, and Lin Zhihui, Liu Yifei and others are also stars. It is really inconvenient to always get in and out by Lin Fengwheel. Being photographed by a reporter, it was too much trouble. As for everyone living together, Lin Feng was not worried. The specifications and security system of the Four Seasons Garden were inaccessible to reporters. Even if he barely got in, he wouldn't get into Lin Feng's villa. Moreover, for safety reasons, Linfeng’s "Langya" security company has also taken over the security work of Siji Yayuan. With Linfeng Villa as the center, Siji Yayuan can be said to be like an iron bucket. Here, Lin Feng is not afraid of anything at all. Reporters don't even want to shoot anything.

When Lin Feng arrived at the company, everyone was as expectant as he was, but also a little nervous.

Lin Feng, Cui Ming and others are looking forward to Audition’s all-star lineup, and many female Audition players (since the announcement of the signing of 48 emperor superstars, the number of female Audition players has accounted for 80%) is naturally even more anticipated. , Thinking that the idol in my mind is about to become his own personal doll, dressing and controlling as he pleases, these fans who are both players and fans have a look of excitement and a little hysterical madness.

Compared with the expectations of Lin Feng and others, the desire of many players and fans for Audition’s all-star lineup is also particularly concerned by other domestic game companies. They want to see whether Lin Feng’s star and game matching plan can be implemented. If feasible, they will also launch their own "star online games" to allow celebrities to participate in online games.

Of course, in front of many game companies, in addition to whether this star plan can achieve the desired effect, the most important thing is which stars they can sign to fight against Lin Feng's All-Star lineup. Lin Feng has almost included most of the emperor superstars in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and even Hollywood superstar Keanu Reeves has become the spokesperson of Lin Feng's contract. Then what stars do they use to fight Lin Feng?

Tom Cruise or Michael Jackson? Many online game companies have a headache, secretly criticizing Lin Feng for being unkind, and signing all the emperor superstars, so that they want to sign but no one signs.

You, Lin Feng, just eat meat. As a result, we can't even drink the soup. It's so unkind! ——Many online game companies drew circles and cursed Lin Feng with great resentment.

At 9 am on October 26th, Audition’s All-Star lineup was officially launched. After a long download of upgrades and updates, in the torment of many players and fans, the server was suspended for one day, and the Audition server was reopened on time at 6 in the evening. .

The network resources that had been idle and surplus were consumed instantly, and the bandwidth saturation rate of the "Second World" increased significantly.

Lin Feng slowly tasted Bi Luochun, with an expression of an old god, waiting for the data to come out. Cui Ming looked worried and excited. This time he signed 48 celebrities. Except for Keanu Reeves, the remaining 47 celebrities are all endorsed by friendship of one million in three years, but this also makes the company This paid 47 million in endorsement fees, plus Keanu Reeves's annual endorsement fee of 1.5 million US dollars. Within three years, the 48 stars signed by the "Second World" because of Audition's all-star lineup will have to spend a total of more than 84 million endorsement fees, which is close to 100 million. This is also a huge expense for today's "Second World". If he can't succeed, Cui Ming can't shirk the blame. Although this plan was approved by Lin Feng, it was Lin Feng who expanded it to where it is today and signed 48 emperor superstars to form an all-star lineup.

But once the All-Star plan fails, Cui Mingze will naturally take the responsibility, because he is the head of Audition's development. Lin Feng can fail, but he can't. Especially in the current situation where the company's game development departments are so competitive, he can't fail.

Once an emperor and a courtier, once he fails, his title as a "second world" hero will also be replaced by a "second world" sinner.
