Otherworldly Architect

No matter how the outside world is, Blue Star Studio is still in a smooth development process.

Of course, they didn't miss the League of Legends Finals in October - every year on this day, Bluestar Studios has a half-day holiday so that everyone can watch the game together.

This is the case every year, and there is not much difference this year.

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

All because last year's finals were held in the fifth-star province next door, and the trophy went there, so this year's finals will also be held online there.

The star provinces on both sides are separated by tens of thousands of light-years, so even the live broadcast of the FTL channel has a slight delay.

But at least, the champion of this year's finals was still won by the Sixth Star Province.

It can be said that the whole world is celebrating on the Internet, and every player in the sixth-star province is happy to swipe the screen as if they are honored.

There is another good news about "League of Legends" this year, that is, major colleges and universities have successively opened "League of Legends" courses in e-sports majors, including the clearly stated alma mater Royal Game Academy.

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

And as the League of Legends' status in the history of the game is getting higher and higher, and the players of the League of Legends are getting higher and higher in the first league events, the opening of courses for the League of Legends has gradually become a matter of urgency.

Students have long wanted to study League of Legends!

Nowadays, if you want to play in League One, you can easily meet League of Legends players basically from the audition.

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 strategies 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 don't expect to find Mingyan himself.

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

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

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

Lu Kaiwen blushed a little, rubbed his hands and said, "I have always had ideas about teaching and educating people. I have written a lot of articles on my blog, but I just can't spare 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 leave, it's nothing, is there a successor for the job?"

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

Yu Bing was the rookie contestant back then, and now that he has successfully completed his studies, the first thing he did was to come to Blue Star to participate in the school recruitment—and then, he was favored by Lu Kaiwen and stayed, and he is currently in the "League of Legends" group through his probationary period.

Lu Kaiwen made the arrangement very well, nodded his head happily, and said, "It's time for leave, but it won't be too long, come back early after finishing writing."

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

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mingyan also went to see Yu Bing.

Four or five years later, Yu Bing has matured a lot. He is no longer the childish student boy who was beaten speechless in the arena.

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

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

He is still a super fan of Mingyan, even the screen saver of his mobile phone has a blue star logo, and there is another sentence [Is 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 Blue Star?"

Yu Bing raised his head and chest, and said excitedly: "I liked Blue Star long before I took the college entrance examination! I want to make games, Master Ming is my idol, and Blue Star has always been my dream. For this reason I I applied for the game design major, participated in the Star Show Competition after graduation, and later worked as an intern at Tulong Baodao Studio, and then went to the Second Star Province to continue my studies... in order to realize my dream one day and come to Blue Star Studio to work !"

After he finished speaking, this passage was once circulated among the interviewers.

This silly boy, no one said that in the last round of interviews.If you change to another company, seeing that the interviewer's intention is so strong, you may have to lower his minimum wage.

Fortunately, Blue Star is not short of money, they can afford the best price and provide the best creative environment for the best gamers.

Talking about Yu Bing to Xia Cheng, Mingyan was quite emotional, and said: "How time flies so fast, I am getting old, and the next generation has grown up."

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

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

"You didn't smile much at that time, and you looked like an old fairy." Xia Cheng's face was full of memories of the hard times in the past, "I'll go to your house to grow up with you During the New Year's Eve, you looked at Lan Xing with melancholy and deepness written all over your face. After chasing 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 cheerful and outgoing. And, besides, I'm not that dull... right?"

Xia Cheng took a deep breath and said, "It's better as it is now."

Transformation happens bit by bit.

The former Mingyan was restless, sleeping with a suicide note under his pillow.

He was very afraid—afraid that if he fell asleep, he would never wake up again, that this strange world would never be able to accept him, and that he might still have a sense of loneliness that "I am the only one left in the blue star".

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

Xia Cheng is the hard-working nurse. He still stares at Mingyan like an old lady: "What time did you go to bed yesterday? Did you eat enough for the night? Come to the gym with me on weekends, huh?"

Mingyan leaned on him, played with Xia Cheng's fingers, and said, "Someone asked me for leave today, and he went to write a book. Well, the finals are over now, and the A-League's dinner is still early... ...Why don't I give myself a vacation too."

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

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

……

Master Ming and his boyfriend went out on vacation.

And it was said that it was the wilderness survival club again, this time they ran directly to the frozen wilderness in 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 Kaiwen went to write a book, Ling Xiaoman felt ashamed to "face the wall and think about his mistakes" because he realized that he had been fooled (he went into a small black room to create), Varian went to accompany his elderly mother who had severe morning sickness up...

So much so that this group of players who took the small blue badges to visit were shocked to find that the offices of several big bosses were empty.

【Shock!Blue Star Studio was overwhelmed by the burden of AR games and ran away collectively! 】

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

[Blue Star left behind 200 people, 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: "...Oh!"

At this point in the game development cycle, the programmers are indeed busy making the bottom structure, and they can't get away at all.

Hollus on the back end is solving a long-standing problem: how to randomly generate dragon eggs on the map of the Alliance of the Rising Sun.

The open beta of "Dragon Hunter" is at least aimed at all players in the Sixth Star Province. At that time, there will be tens of thousands of planets inhabited by humans in thousands of star systems in the entire region, and they will all need to be able to give birth to dragon eggs out of thin air.

But exactly where the dragon egg was born requires an accurate and unmistakable algorithm.

It is clearly stated that it must be a place where humans can go directly on foot. It must not be too high or too low. It must not be a road with traffic risks. Serious political environment, not in toilets (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 AI".

So far, AI has only begun to take shape.

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

This new AI, called "Santa Claus", began to lay dragon eggs on the Golden Gate Bridge every day.

But before it came back, it had a bug.

A bug event called "Dream Egg" in the history of the game originated entirely from "Santa Claus" messing up the texture.

It mistakenly projected the dream-eating dragon's map on the deep-sea dragon's egg, causing the egg to have both layers of sharp scales and a strange and bizarre appearance.

The color of that egg is gray and dark, the distorted colors form a vortex, and the black hole in the middle is occasionally glowing (actually, the texture map of the dream-eating dragon is blinking).

The super lucky person who picked up the egg opened his scroll, only to find that the name of the egg was "Tan Tang Tang Kun Jin Kao".

"?????"

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

[The super rare dragon egg is born! ! !I bet it's a SSSSSR! 】

[Where is the initial video? 】

[Bid 2 yuan to buy!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 thought it was a super rare hidden dragon species, they called it "Dream Egg", and made it a hot search!

And at this time, Mingyan was still happily on vacation with Xia Cheng, and the group of big programmers left behind kept their ears to the outside world, and they didn't find out until the next day: something happened!

Schrödinger: "..."

Hollus: "..."

Santa Claus:"……"

Oh shit, it's over.
