"President, are you free right now?"

Meng Lang, who had just finished filming a scene, suddenly received an off-site call from Shi Sen for help. By the time he called it a day and drove back to work, the conference room was already packed.

The team leaders of the five subsidiaries of PD Games, PD Comics, PD Animation, PD Toys and PD Printing & Publishing Group sat in a circle and quarreled. Ma Teng and Shi Sen, who were in charge of presiding over the meeting, had their own opinions, and no one could convince anyone.

There is a whiteboard in the meeting room!

It was full of words, among which the words "dark game" caught Meng Lang's attention.

"Didn't you make the rules?"

He pointed to the whiteboard and asked Ma Teng and Shi Sen, "If you have something to say, why did you quarrel?"

"The problem is, there are too many differences!"

Ma Teng spread his hands and said helplessly: "Animation and comic companies attach importance to the plot and let the rules serve the plot. And the toy company replays the game and wants the plot to serve the rules......"

So there was a quarrel?

Meng Lang glanced at Ma Teng and Shi Sen, and couldn't help but sigh.

Shi Sen focuses on content, and Ma Teng focuses on profits.

Even the decision-making level has disagreements and contradictions, not to mention the ordinary employees below. Sure enough, this matter is not as easy as imagined.

"Alright, I'll preside over the meeting!"

After driving Ma Teng away from the main seat, Meng Lang sat down, picked up the meeting minutes and looked at them, and said with a stiff expression: "All morning, you discussed this thing?"

Both sides of the duel have 2000LP each.

Monster cards are divided into different attributes, different star ratings, different races and different attribute values, and you can ignore the star summoning in the duel arena and cannot attack directly......

Ignore the star rating, don't need to summon sacrifices, just forget it, the original version had similar rules. But the subsequent "mutual restraint of races" and "mutual restraint of attributes" are a bit taken for granted?

"Get rid of this!"

Meng Lang crossed out the rules of mutual restraint of "attribute races", and said with a displeased face: "The rule setting must be simple and clear, and the threshold for getting started must be lowered." You guys are so complicated, can a child tell the difference?"

"But this is the plot needs ......"

Shi Sen's eyes widened and he retorted: "With the restraint of attributes and races, only then can a plot reversal be created. Players can't remember the rules of restraint at first, and they will remember it after watching the manga and anime a few more times. ”

"I'll repeat it again!"

Meng Lang raised his index finger and said, "Lower the threshold for getting started, don't make Yu-Gi-Oh a niche card for self-entertainment." ”

"I ...... I see!"

With Shi Mori's retreat, the heads of the toy company and the printing company showed a smug smile on their faces.

Look!

Mr. Meng is really biased towards us!

What plot is king, it's all the younger brother who can't make money, and the stinky younger brother who has no right to speak. Our toy company will always be Mr. Meng's favorite cub......

"This one can be adopted!"

Just as they straightened their waists and planned to completely strangle the "plot party" with the support of Mr. Meng, Meng Lang picked up his pen and ticked the rules of the "dark game".

Everyone: "......"

Who is Mr. Meng?

The rules of this dark game belong to the typical example of "rules serve the plot", and they should be removed, so why did they adopt it?

"Gameplay is only one aspect!"

Meng Lang folded his hands and explained: "No matter how good the gameplay is, it will be useless if no one plays. Only when comics and animations become popular, can the gameplay we formulate be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. ”

So, the dark game can be kept.

The LP is reduced, and the duelist will also take damage.

In the early Yu-Gi-Oh animation, although there were slots such as "mouth beard", "live printing card", and "god pumping dog". But the "dark game" is still a shining point, which is still fresh in the memory of many viewers.

This setting is a good explanation for the reason why the "game" does its best in every duel.

If you lose, you'll die......

If you don't work hard, can you do it?

Moreover, the "dark game" has little disruptive effect on the gameplay. After all, there is a dimensional wall, and even if there is no dimensional wall, you have to find a thousand-year-old artifact, right?

"LP changed to 4000! High-star monsters are usually summoned, and depending on the star level, different numbers of monsters need to be used as sacrifices......"

Meng Lang pointed out the problem and put forward his own suggestions for revision. While others sat down at their desks and wrote down Mr. Meng's speech with a pen or keyboard.

The meeting lasted until 9 p.m.

In view of the fact that there are not many cards that appeared in the early stage, even the "Effect Monsters" are rare cards, and most of the monster cards belong to the "blank slate". There are no particularly complicated chains and special calls, and the difficulty of perfecting the rules is not very high.

It's hard to say later......

As the cards continue to be updated, "effect monsters" become more and more common, various deck routines have been developed, and the rules of duels have become more sad.

"That's it for now!"

Meng Lang picked up the "Duel Rules" printed out on A4 paper, handed it to Shi Sen and said: "This set of rules is not perfect, you can find more loopholes in practical application." In the future, we will have to launch a more professional version of the rules for the competition. ”

"Hi Yi, I see!"

Ishimori took the A4 paper, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "President, I just heard from you that it is best to have a strange shape and colorful hair......

"That's right!"

Meng Lang said as a matter of course: "The more fancy the hairstyle and hair color, the better the luck of the card skills, is there anything wrong with this?"

"I didn't ...... No problem!"

Ishimori thought about it for a while, and finally gave up protesting. Although he felt that hair had nothing to do with playing cards, this was Mr. Meng's proposal after all.

In Pengda, Mr. Meng is the sky!

......

With the specific rules of the duel, it is necessary to determine the corresponding story background and character settings for the manga and animation.

The first is the name of the main character.

Muto games are not suitable for China, and it feels much better to delete the surname and retain the word "game".

And the grandfather of the game, his real name is set to "You Six", and he is unanimously called "Sixth Master" to the outside world. The surname of the city was changed to "Chen", the seahorse is still a seahorse, and the apricot is still an apricot.

As for the others, just change some of them.

In order to reflect the popularity of "duel", people like Bekas, Tapir, etc., are directly set as foreigners, and it has become normal to have such names.

Anyway, the protagonist group is the most important.

Except for the protagonist group, whether the others are dead or alive, Meng Lang doesn't care.

The story of the first part follows the original Duel Kingdom chapter.

It roughly tells the story of the gentle and kind game and another game (Pharaoh), in order to save the imprisoned grandfather of the soul, and go to the dueling kingdom to find fault with Bekas.

Of course, the plot has changed.

Becas is still the inventor of the "Duel Monster" card and still holds the Millennium Eye. However, his company has been "taken away" by Meng Zai.

Except for the name "Phantom Technology", the rest of the place is exactly the same as the real PD, even the headquarters building!

This is also a kind of ad placement.
