To become the richest man from the beginning of the game

Chapter 496 I can't figure out your true level

Friday, January 4th.

In a cafe near Handong University, Pei Qian was drinking coffee while staring at the screen of his mobile phone, reciting the content on it silently.

Yesterday, He An from Menguo Games agreed to come to Jingzhou, but whether he is willing to teach or not depends on the results of the test.

As for why this cafe was chosen as the meeting place instead of Moyu Internet Café...the answer is obvious.

There are too many Pei Qian in Moyu Internet Cafe, and all the shop assistants know him.

If you don't explain it in advance, the clerk will definitely show your flaws; but if you tell the clerk to help you cover yourself, then too many people will know about this matter, and it will be easy to leak the news.

What's more, the opposite of the Internet cafe is the Halo studio, and Ruan Guangjian runs there every day to buy coffee. If he bumps into him and Ruan Guangjian shouts "Boss Pei" again, it will be wonderful.

Therefore, taking all aspects into consideration, Pei Qian decided to avoid his own property as much as possible when meeting in the future, and the less people know about the fact that he invited He An to give a lecture, the better.

Anyway, it's just for spending money and learning knowledge, don't care about so many details.

At present, only Assistant Xin and the driver Xiaosun know about this, and they are working hard to cover Pei Qian.

It is already 2 o'clock in the afternoon. According to Xiao Sun's report, Mr. He has already got off the plane, and he may arrive in more than 40 minutes.

And Pei Qian has been reviewing in surprise since last night until now, except for sleeping time.

As for, there is no teaching material, what to review?

Pei Qian thought hard and could only make a prediction.

He spent a lot of time yesterday searching for all the games that He An had ever made. It is impossible to play them all over again. He can only watch the related videos roughly, and then take a look at the explanations and evaluations of the games. , master some basic knowledge.

Anyway, as long as you don't behave too much when the time comes, and then use the tuition fee to express your sincerity, it should be appropriate.

After searching the games that He An had made, Pei Qian realized that this is really a veteran giant in the domestic game industry.

He An was born in 69 and is 42 years old this year. He produced his first casual game when he was 20 years old, and later produced a well-known stand-alone RPG game in the industry, which achieved great success and established a game company by himself , which is the Menguo game.

His most recent game is a multiplayer national warfare RPG client game that was developed three years ago and is still operating today in good condition. However, after developing this game, he has become famous and is in a semi-retired state .

Such a boss can be said to have witnessed the development history of the entire domestic game industry, and has also made achievements in multiple game types. He is definitely qualified to give lectures to most domestic designers.

It is even impossible for ordinary people to please him.

However, this also brings up a problem.

There are too many things that Pei Qian needs to review suddenly!

With so many games, Pei Qian can only take a quick look at them. Once He An asks more in-depth questions, he probably won't be able to answer them.

Pei Qian was very helpless, but there was only so much time, and he was not a genius with a photographic memory, and there were many games here that were too old. Although they were very famous at the time, Pei Qian had never heard of them and memorized them by rote Back, the effect can be imagined.

There is no other way, I can only place my hopes on my European Emperor's luck and financial ability.

During the process of reciting the questions, four or ten minutes passed without knowing it.

"Mr. He, this way." Xiao Sun pushed the door open and led a middle-aged man in his 40s into the cafe.

Pei Qian recognized He An immediately. Compared with the photo, he looked younger. Although he was a little rough, the confidence of a middle-aged successful person still exuded inadvertently in his gestures.

Pei Qian got up to greet him and shook hands with He An.

"Mr. He, hello!"

He An smiled warmly: "You are Mr. Ma, right? It's a pleasure to meet you."

Pei Qian also nodded with a smile: "Yes, I am Ma Yang. Mr. He, please sit down."

The two of them sat down, and Xiao Sun immediately asked the waiter to arrange coffee after asking, and then went out to wait in the car.

Pei Qian has already told him that Xiao Sun will be in charge of He An's itinerary during this period.

On the one hand, it is the way of hospitality, on the other hand, it is also to prevent cheating.

What Pei Qian thinks now is to spend the 160 million as smoothly as possible, and just don't cause some strange rumors.

The two chatted while drinking coffee.

He An calmly said, "I really didn't expect Mr. Ma to make great achievements in the investment industry at such a young age. He is really a hero."

Pei Qian smiled slightly: "Didn't Mr. He already made his first game when he was 20 years old, and it became famous all over the world?"

The smile on He An's face became brighter, obviously no one would feel uncomfortable with this kind of business bragging.

"Mr. Ma may be very talented in the investment industry, but game design is a completely different matter. I have already said before coming here that a simple test is required. I hope Mr. Ma will not mind."

Pei Qian nodded: "Of course."

He An took out a folded document from his bag, about three or four pages long, and handed it to Pei Qian: "Mr. Ma can answer according to his own ideas, don't be nervous, this should be considered a relatively simple topic."

Hearing the words "relatively simple", Pei Qian breathed a sigh of relief. If it's basic knowledge, it doesn't seem to be a big problem to get a passing grade on the content of the surprise review.

Of course, it cannot be taken lightly.

Pei Qian took the test questions, took out of his coat pocket the pen that he had bought for a surprise attack but only used a few times, and was about to start answering.

However, after seeing the title, Pei Qian was dumbfounded.

Just scan a few topics.

"The success of "Lonely Desert Highway", what kind of psychology has been used by the player group? What is the designer's purpose?"

"Why can the painting style of "Ghost General" stand out among the crowd of card games? How should designers balance the relationship between their own needs and the original artist's inspiration?"

"What is the original intention of setting the price of Fire Unicorn in "Sea Fortress" at 888? Objectively, what effect has it had?"

"What's so special about the marketing method of "Game Producer"? What is the central idea of ​​the game?"

"..."

"What kind of thinking does the epitaph in "Return to the Shore" reflect on the designer? What effect does it have objectively?"

There are three pages in total, all of which are short-answer questions, and the blank space is very thoughtful.

Pei Qian looked up at He An with a complicated expression.

Just test this? ? ?

How the hell am I still learning the basics of this assault game and the game you designed!

In the end, you used the game I made to test me. What do you mean?

If I knew this earlier, why would I still search for the game data you made?Wouldn't it be over to watch all of Qiao Laoshi's videos again?

Seeing "Ma Yang" with a slightly confused expression in surprise, He An smiled slightly: "Hehe, Mr. Ma, do you think I'm going to give some basic knowledge, or some game-related topics I've done?"

"Those basic knowledge can be found on the Internet, and it is meaningless to memorize them by rote."

"As for the games I made... Although I don't want to admit it, they are already outdated."

"To learn game design now, you must learn the most innovative games."

"Exactly, Mr. Ma, you are interested in games, and you happen to work in an investment company under Tenda, so you want to have a better understanding of Tenda games."

"Learn more about Tengda's design philosophy, it will help you the most."

"Well, as I said, this test is really not difficult, is it?"

Pei Qian: "..."

Looking at He An, and then at the test question in his hand, he felt mixed feelings.

Forget it, what else can I do?Answer it!

Pei Qian followed suit, scribbling dots on the paper, and answered quickly.

He An, on the other hand, was drinking coffee while waiting leisurely and patiently.

……

Half an hour later, Pei Qian finished answering.

Although there are not three full pages, it is guaranteed that each question has at least three or five lines of characters, which seems to be the case.

Even if the short-answer questions are nonsense, you have to fill in the blanks. This is a good habit that Pei Qian has left since high school.

He An happily took the test questions and flipped through them, his expression quickly became unpredictable.

"The success of "Lonely Desert Highway" took advantage of the masochism and leverage psychology of the player group. The designer's purpose is to make players feel bored in the game and give up the game."

"The epic ink and oil painting impasto style of "Ghost General" is very special among the Q version games, and the imaginative character design is also a bonus. Designers should completely give up their own needs and let the original painters develop freely."

"The original intention of setting the price of "Sea Fortress" Fire Unicorn at 888 is to persuade players not to buy it. Objectively, it seems to stimulate the consumption of local tyrants."

"The marketing of "Game Producer" is outstanding in that the crappy marketing content accidentally triggers the effect of the UP owner's spontaneous marketing. The central idea of ​​the game is that 'being misunderstood is the fate of the expresser'."

"..."

"The epitaph in "Return to the Shore" reflects the designer's thought of trying every means to dissuade the players, which objectively has the opposite effect and stimulates the rebellious psychology of the players."

He An looked at these answers, his brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed.

Pei Qian drank his coffee silently, feeling very complicated.

He hesitated for a long time, should he write down his actual thoughts, or should he answer the questions based on what Qiao Laoshi and others overinterpreted?

Although based on the principle of honesty, he should write his actual thoughts, but in that case, Mr. He would probably have to take a plane and run away on the spot.

Therefore, Pei Qian could only use the standard answer that Qiao Laoshi overinterpreted and the successful experience of the game summed up by his designers to answer the question in shame.

But the problem is that Qiao Laoshi doesn't make a video for every game of Mr. Pei.

There are some questions that Qiao Laoshi has never released a video about, and some questions about "designer's intentions". Pei Qian really doesn't know how to answer them, so he can only let himself go.

Although such an answer may seem absurd, it can only be so.

Let's hope it passes!

He An read all three pages, with a little confusion in his eyes.

"Some questions were answered very well; some questions were stated in more straightforward language, but the meaning was that; and some questions... the answers were outrageous."

"To be honest, I'm a little unpredictable about your true level."

Pei Qian showed a polite smile.

Unpredictable true level?

That's right.

Because I can't figure it out myself...
