After determining the next game development plan of the creative workshop, the time also came to the beginning of September, Zhang Lexing looked at the calendar and found that it was the day when Chen Zishan was going back to school. Zhang Lexing opened his drawer, took out the ticket on the top, took a closer look at the date on it, and then looked at the position of the circle with a red pen on the calendar, and saw that the two were the same. Putting the ticket back in the drawer, Zhang Lexing thought about it for a while, but couldn't help but pick up the phone and dial it according to Chen Zishan's number......

Three days later, at the Capital International Airport, in the cabin of a United Airlines flight to Boston, Chen Zishan dragged a suitcase to her seat, and she didn't find the figure all the way just now, she couldn't help sighing, lifted the suitcase hard, and wanted to lift it up and put it in the luggage rack. At this moment, Chen Zishan heard a familiar voice behind her: "Beauty, do you want to help?"

At this moment, Chen Zishan felt as if an electric current flashed in her body, and she couldn't help but feel weak, and the suitcase that she had just lifted fell to the floor again. Chen Zishan was very happy, but when she turned around, she deliberately kept a straight face and said angrily: "Didn't you say that it would take two months to go, why did you come this time?"

"Because Shanshan is here," Zhang Lexing took two steps forward, hugged Chen Zishan, and continued in her ear: "Because I want to be with you!"

The feeling of happiness rushed to Chen Zishan like a tide, making her feel dizzy for a while. After a while, she woke up, hurriedly brushed off Zhang Lexing's hand, and said shyly: "There are many people next to it......

"You see they're all foreigners, it's fine. Zhang Lexing smiled, then lifted the suitcase and said, "Shanshan, you sit down first, I'll take care of this." ”

"Then be careful. After speaking, Chen Zishan came to her seat, straightened her skirt, and sat down. Zhang Lexing put away his suitcase, followed over, and sat on the seat next to him.

"Hmm...... Lexing, it looks like you were premeditated!"

"Hehe!" Zhang Lexing smiled embarrassedly.

At this moment, the voice of the flight attendant was heard on the radio on the plane: "Dear passengers, our flight is about to take off, please return to your seat and fasten your seat belt......"

It didn't take long for the plane to begin to slide down the runway......

After an eighteen-hour flight across the Pacific Ocean and almost the entire United States, the plane was over Boston, and through the portholes, it was already possible to see the lights on the ground.

Waiting for the plane to land at the airport, Zhang Lexing and Chen Zishan walked out of the terminal, the time had passed 12 o'clock in the evening, and in the early morning of the next day, it was obviously not suitable to go to school at this time, so the two found a star-rated hotel and opened a room, planning to take a rest and go to school after dawn.

The weather was still a little hot, and I was sweating a little on the road, and I felt sticky and uncomfortable, so after putting things in the guest room, Chen Zishan went to the bathroom to take a shower first. However, when it was Zhang Lexing's turn to go in and take a shower and come out, he found that Chen Zishan had changed into a black tulle nightgown and sat on the bed after bathing, and the seductive body loomed under the translucent tulle......

When Zhang Lexing woke up again, it was almost noon, and he reached out to the side and touched it, but there was no trace of Chen Zishan, but there was still a faint fragrance of her in the bedding. Zhang Lexing got up and got out of bed, walked around the room, and found that Chen Zishan's suitcase was gone, and it looked like she had gone to school.

Came to the bathroom to wash his face, Zhang Lexing returned to the bed and sat down, and was about to pick up the bedside phone, but found that a cup with a lid was placed on the bedside table. Zhang Lexing took a sip of the cup, and he didn't know if it was the psychological effect or the water quality itself was good, anyway, it tasted a little sweet.

Putting down the cup, Zhang Lexing picked up the phone and dialed the number of Chen Zishan's dormitory, the phone rang for a long time before anyone answered, fortunately, it was Chen Zishan's voice that came from the phone.

"Hello, I'm Susan. ”

"Hi, I'm Lexing. Shanshan, I don't know when you're going back to school. ”

"I got up at ten o'clock, but I didn't wake you up because you slept soundly, and it wasn't far from school anyway. Chen Zishan explained on the phone.

"Well, Shanshan, let's have dinner together at noon, it's almost time anyway. ”

"I'm sorry, Lexing, I still have something to do here, I'm afraid I won't have time at noon. ”

"That's it, alas......" Unexpectedly, he was so busy just after returning to school, Zhang Lexing couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't be discouraged, this way, Lexing, I'll come to dinner with you in the evening. ”

"Well, it's not enough to just have dinner with you, I won't return the hotel room, what else can I do then...... Hey. ”

"You're so annoying. Chen Zishan took a sip shyly, and then said: "There is a good Chinese restaurant near the hotel, you can choose any one, and you can go shopping by yourself in the afternoon, don't get lost." ”

"Don't worry, you won't get lost, but I brought a map with me. ”

"Well, Lexing, I'll see you in the evening. ”

"See you in the evening, baby. As soon as Zhang Lexing finished speaking, Chen Zishan's phone had been hung up, and listening to the "beep" sound from the earpiece, Zhang Lexing put the phone back in its original position.

After looking at his watch, it was only ten minutes before noon, and at this time his stomach rang at the right time, Zhang Lexing drank the remaining water in the cup in one go, then changed his clothes, threw the clothes that needed to be washed into the laundry basket, and walked out of the guest room with his room card. Zhang Lexing is not too familiar with the city of Boston, although he has been here many times, but the scope of activities is not large, and Chen Zishan basically came to be the guide before, so Zhang Lexing does not plan to go too far.

After coming to the service desk downstairs and explaining that he wanted to renew the room, Zhang Lexing walked out of the hotel, and according to Chen Zishan's proposal, he randomly found a Chinese restaurant near the hotel and ate breakfast and lunch together. After eating, Zhang Lexing walked along the street, casually around the hotel, and occasionally flipped out the map of Boston. There were a few bodyguards not far behind Zhang Lexing, these bodyguards actually followed yesterday, but in order not to destroy Zhang Lexing's good deeds, they kept a reasonable distance and did not show up.

Unconsciously, Zhang Lexing walked near the Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus, and when he woke up and was about to turn around, he inadvertently found a large-scale software retail store on the side of the road, so he planned to go in and take a casual look, and kill time by the way. There were a lot of people in the software store, and when Zhang Le walked in, the shopping guides in the store were so busy that no one noticed that someone came in, which was exactly what Zhang Lexing meant by casually looking.

Not surprisingly, Zhang Lexing found that among the most popular software in the software sales area was his company's operating system KylinWindows95, and in just ten minutes of observation, three people took KylinWindows95 to pay.

The most popular game software here is "Command and Conquer" and "Warcraft 2" that Zhang Lexing saw at the E3 exhibition, and there is even a computer placed there for people to try, but what is unexpected is that Zhang Lexing also saw the promotional poster of the English version of "Bloody Battle on the Beach", which reads: "...... Fast as lightning, special operations in Shanghai...... The new mode of FPS game is worth your anticipation, and there are still ten days left before the official launch, so book a phone ......". Zhang Lexing knew about the preparation of an English version of "Bloody Battle on the Beach", but he still didn't expect it to be listed so soon.

The game software area was almost turned, and when Zhang Lexing was about to leave, his eyes accidentally swept over the shelves of a game software, and then stopped. There are five boxes of the same game on the lower floor of the shelf, the cover of the game box is painted with a castle, there are two guards with numbers above the castle, the city gate has been opened, there are three men and one woman and four horseback riders parked outside the city gate, they are also waving red, yellow, green and blue four colors of flags, across the moat outside the city gate, there is a large group of all kinds of "people", even griffins, hydra also have a line of artistic words "HeroesofMightandMagic" written above the cover of the box , Zhang Lexing couldn't help but whisper: "It's actually "Heroes of Might and Magic Invincible 1"!"

"Heroes of Might and Magic" is a game that many people are very familiar with, its founder is Joe Van Caneghem (Jon VanCaneghem), but many people prefer to use the nickname JVC master, of course, JVC here has nothing to do with Japanese JVC electrical appliances.

JVC is not a lone ranger, as early as 1984, he and his friend Mark Caldwell and his wife Michaela founded New World Computing (NWC), their main work is the "Might and Magic" series, which has been released to the fifth generation, and "Might and Magic 4: The Mystery of the Nebula" and the following year's "Might and Magic 5: Dark Nebula" There is also a small trick to play, if you install both games on the same computer at the same time, not only will the player be able to travel between the two sides of Theon, but a new ending will be activated, which can be considered "1+1=3". This little trick was learned by Zhiguan many years later, and as a result, he made a nondescript "Six Veins Divine Sword".

According to rumors, in 1990, JVC had independently produced a game called "The King's Bounty", which can be said to be the prototype of "Heroes of Might and Magic", which already has 4 types of heroes, 12 types of combat and adventure magic (6 types each), and a grid-based turn-based combat mode.

Later, the JVC master was busy making the "Might and Magic" series, and had already forgotten the "King's Bounty" as a small game, but he didn't expect the JVC master's wife Michaela to be obsessed with "The King's Bounty". ”

In fact, JVC Master didn't take "The King's Bounty" seriously at all, it was purely a practice work, but he couldn't stand Mrs. Michaela blowing like this, especially the frequency is getting faster and faster, from once a week at the beginning, it has become once a day now, JVC Master knows that he can't wait any longer, otherwise he will want to think about a new magic door again, so he had to put down what he was doing, pull a group of people from the company, and devote himself to the production of the sequel to "The King's Bounty".

After spending a lot of American knives, "Heroes of Might and Magic 1" was born, New World Computer is actually still a small company, and the JVC master definitely can't do the kind of ridiculous thing that spends a lot of money to laugh for the Pomeranians, so "Heroes of Might and Magic 1" is naturally put on the shelf. JVC didn't think about how much money he could make with "Heroes of Might and Magic 1", but he didn't expect that not long after it was launched, all computer game magazines showed super high ratings, and the authoritative "Computer Game World" magazine in the United States gave a five-star evaluation to "Heroes of Might and Magic 1". Countless players were immersed in the game, not only excited by the melee of the four races on the continent of Enlos, but also became witnesses to the conquest of the Sea by the Iron Fist Dynasty. But the sluggish JVC master was only immersed in the praise of his wife Michaela at this time, and he didn't know that his company had been successful.

Zhang Lexing started playing "Heroes of Might and Magic" from the 1st generation, but when he saw this game from a pirated disc for the first time, he was not allowed to enter because of a lack of information. Later, there was a new entertainment option of computer game room on the market, where Zhang Lexing once again encountered "Heroes of Might and Magic 1", the bright and beautiful picture, realistic and delicate character modeling, and with the soft background, Zhang Lexing couldn't help but like it, and the game's changeable tactics, rich races, shiny treasures and gorgeous magic are even more fascinating.

When I first played Heroes of Might and Magic 1, I suffered a lot because I didn't have reference materials. Zhang Lexing's first hero was a human knight, and his troops were farmers and archers with forks, and after scraping the soldiers in the castle on the first day, he rushed out to find a monster to fight, but he was quickly beaten back to his hometown with only the seemingly powerful peasants and archers. Later, I learned to be obedient and slowly cultivated a main hero, but unfortunately because of my lack of understanding of ghosts, I brought too much cannon fodder when I went to the battlefield, and in the end, the ghosts fought more and more, and the unlucky hero returned to his hometown again. Another time, because the relationship between the number of magic uses and knowledge is not clear, the hero of the expedition used up all the combat magic, and the combat troops had to fight the battlefield, and what was even worse was that the mixed team led to a very low luck value, and the main forces on the battlefield appeared one after another in the current round could not move, and in the end, although they barely won, but the troops suffered heavy casualties, and almost all the troops were wiped out.

Later, Zhang Lexing and a few "Heroes of Might and Magic" fans played multiplayer battle mode, and at this time the cheats of the game have begun to circulate, in order to quickly clear the obstacles around the castle, while maintaining fairness, so the friends agreed to use the cheats of adding griffins, but each person can only use it three times, otherwise even if you lose, now in retrospect at that time, you simply make people want to laugh.

When Zhang Lexing woke up from his memories and found that he didn't know when he had picked up a set of "Heroes of Might and Magic 1" and walked to the cashier, swiped his card to pay, and ended up with a game wrapped in a paper bag, Zhang Lexing left the software retail store. Carrying a paper bag and walking on the street, Zhang Lexing continued to think.

I have the impression that after a while, in order to be able to devote all his energy to game development instead of entangled in sales and distribution, JVC sold New World Computer to Hawkins' 3DO, thinking that it would be cool to have his back against the big tree. At the beginning, this was indeed the case, with the support of 3DO, JVC led the new world computer to continuously develop new games, three "Might and Magic", and two generations of "Heroes of Might and Magic".

It's a pity that 3DO's business situation gradually declined, and even fell to the point of relying on the signboard of "Heroes of Might and Magic" to cheat money, "Heroes of Might and Magic 3: Erathia's Recovery" and the expansion films "Blade of Doom" and "Shadow of Death" were launched successively, 3DO launched as many as 8 "Heroes of Might and Magic" Chronicles in one go.

Later, the launch of "Heroes of Might and Magic 4" and "Might and Magic 9" failed to save 3DO, and eventually inevitably went bankrupt, with the auction of assets and the collapse of 3DO, the poor JVC master also lost the development rights of "Might and Magic" and "Heroes of Might and Magic", and finally left the country.

Zhang Lexing also felt very sorry when he saw the news from the Internet, especially sympathetic to the JVC master, but it was a pity that he was just an ordinary player at that time, and he couldn't change anything even if he had the heart. But now that "Heroes of Might and Magic is Invincible" appears in front of Zhang Lexing "again", he is no longer ordinary, he will not let go of such a good opportunity, if he can win the New World Computer, then Zhang Lexing will at least not make so many chronicles to fool players because of financial problems, and will not let "Heroes of Might and Magic" 4 and 5 have such a long discontinuity, maybe the JVC master who has no financial pressure can make a few more generations of "Heroes of Might and Magic" and "Might and Magic" What a blessing it would be for Might & Magic fans. In fact, not to mention anything else, just the huge domestic fan group of "Heroes of Might and Magic", Zhang Lexing is worth working hard for, so this new world computer of JVC Master is definitely going to win.
