When Zhang Lexing and his party came to the airport, they were just in time for the flight to Hong Kong to start check-in. Because the flight is relatively long, Zhang Lexing booked a first-class ticket and a dedicated CheckIn counter, so now there is no need to rush to queue up to go through the procedures, and there is still a lot of time to spend in the VIP lounge at the airport.

There is no wireless Internet access this year, and Zhang Lexing is not interested in staring at a notebook as thick as a brick, but fortunately, there are several 29-inch color TVs in the VIP hall known as large screens to watch, and a lot of free drinks and snacks are provided, as well as reading rooms, fitness rooms, private bathrooms and other facilities, and even a large billiard room, but don't worry about having no place to pass the time. Ten minutes before the plane took off, Zhang Lexing and his accompanying bodyguard Rhodes completed the check-in procedures and went to board the plane in a first-class limousine.

The car was parked next to a Boeing 747-400, which was the Cathay Pacific flight to Hong Kong. There was not a single passenger on the tarmac, except for a gangway and two ground staff, and it is estimated that both economy class and business class have completed boarding. Walking down the stairs from the gangway car to the boarding door of the first class cabin, several flight attendants in red suits bowed slightly in unison, and said in unison with bright smiles: "Welcome to the Cathay Pacific Airways plane." After speaking, one of the slightly taller flight attendants led Zhang Lexing and his bodyguard Rhodes to the first-class cabin to take a seat.

When he came to his own seat, Zhang Lexing first put away his luggage, then pulled out the seat and reclined down comfortably. It is said that the seat is actually about the same size as a single bed, and with the screen in the hallway, Zhang Lexing feels like he is resting in the bedroom. It was still early, Zhang Lexing took out a book from his luggage, leaned back on his seat and began to look. This is a book that has been published for several years "The Second Edition of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons", and I haven't been able to find time to read it carefully, and this flight time is relatively long, so I just took it out to kill time.

At this time, no one in China had heard of this kind of thing, and even many years later, many people thought that "Dungeons and Dragons" was a kind of Western magic culture corresponding to the Eastern martial arts culture, but in fact, "Dungeons and Dragons" was essentially a set of mathematical algorithms. To put it simply, "seven dice make the world", which is a set of mathematical rules based on the random numbers generated by seven (six) dice. One of the most important is the 20-sided dice, which is used for most of the "success rate checks" (mainly battles), so it is also called the D20 system, which is a rule system with D20 dice as the core.

The D20 system consists of D12, D10 (two each, for percentage), D8, D6 and D4, for a total of seven dice. Whenever the player tries to perform an action with a certain chance of failure, roll a die (which reflects the uncertainty of the objective world), add the result to the relevant adjustment value (which reflects the known ability, skill, environment, and other factors) and compare it with the target value (i.e., the probability of possible failure due to difficulty and various disadvantages and other factors), if the final result is equal to or greater than the target value, the action will be successfully completed, and conversely, if the result is less than the target value, the action will fail.

The rules of mathematics are only one aspect of Dungeons & Dragons, but more importantly, they also include those "invisible rules", which are often referred to as "such and such a system". For example: attribute system, class system, skill system, spell system, turn-based combat system, etc. These systems make what happens in the world work in a structured and orderly manner according to a framework or process. The principle of setting the difficulty, how the attributes work, and the embodiment of the level and ability are all controlled by the core calculation formula, which affects the whole body and is generally not easily changed.

All this makes "Dungeons & Dragons" the basis of the best computer game system, and there have been many related games launched in recent years, starting from the earliest "Pool of Light", almost every year there will be several related works, such as: "Spear Hero", "Curse of the Cyan Shackles", "Magic Eye Killing", "NeverwinterNights" and so on, even Zhang Lexing's Blue Dragon Company is no exception, and it was also involved in a lawsuit because of the launch of the game with the rules of "Dungeons & Dragons".

Unfortunately, there has never been such a rigorous system in Chinese games, and there is only one martial arts system in the most mature game, but it has always lacked rigorous settings. Perhaps because of the difference between Eastern and Western cultures, martial arts born in the East pay more attention to family and country hatreds and martial arts grievances, but there is always no data-based system, which not only allows game developers to have no rules constraints, but also makes game developers lack the difficulty of development due to the lack of direct reference to the system.

Flipping through the "Second Edition of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons", looking at the various calculation rules, Zhang Lexing couldn't help but think about whether he could try to establish a set of oriental systems similar to "Dungeons and Dragons", so that wouldn't it save a lot of things by making games by himself in the future, and maybe it could also have a certain role in promoting the development of the domestic game industry.

After reading the book for a while, the plane had already taken off and headed west along the course. The flight attendant brought a set of Eelemy's selection of skincare products, toothbrushes, toothpaste and mouthwash, and lunch was served on board. The first class cabin can choose a variety of dishes, Zhang Lexing ordered a Chinese-style veal tenderloin, brine goose meat, Yunnan melon Xiu Zhen mushrooms, freshly made white rice, and then accompanied by a cup of old fire soup, a beautiful meal, the taste of the food is quite good, compared with some big hotels.

After eating lunch and reading a book for a while, Zhang Lexing gradually felt tired, so he put down the back of the chair, covered it with a blanket, closed his eyes and rested.

……

After another rollercoaster landing, the plane landed safely at Hong Kong's Kai Tak International Airport, which was an extremely stressful landing, but fortunately, the new airport will be open in a few years, and there will be no more heart-pounding rides.

The flight process is very amazing, the departure time is noon, and when I arrived in Hong Kong, it was already more than 7 o'clock in the afternoon of the next day local time, just looking at the time seems to fly for more than 30 hours, but in fact, the whole flight process is only 15 hours.

The assistant to the chairman of Oriental Holdings*, a native of Hong Kong, looks quite young, but with a mature and capable temperament, she joined the company not long after the establishment of Oriental Holdings, and can be regarded as the old man of the company. * There is also a rather ordinary-looking man standing next to him, wearing a black suit and a pair of sunglasses on his face, so that people can't see his expression. *There is a black Mercedes 400E not far behind him, and through the window, you can see a man in the driver's seat, also wearing a black suit.

Seeing Zhang Lexing and his bodyguard Rhodes coming out of the airport, * walked forward with a smile on his face and bowed slightly: "Boss, welcome to Hong Kong for inspection." ”

"Hmm. Zhang Lexing nodded, then looked at the two men in black suits and asked, "Who are these two behind you?"

* Introduced: "The two of them are bodyguards from Andatai Security Company (a security company that Zhang Lexing asked Uncle Wu to help set up, and the scale has become quite small after several years of development), and they were both members of Group G Group 4 of the Political Department before, specializing in the protection of important people, and this time they will be responsible for your security work during your stay in Hong Kong." The person next to me is called Chen Yi, and the person sitting in the car is called Li Sheng, and they used to be old partners. ”

Zhang Lexing nodded, and didn't wait for Rhodes to take the initiative to step forward and communicate with the two men in black suits. After verifying the documents, Rod made a safe gesture to Zhang Lexing, so everyone immediately took action, put away the luggage, and got into the car together. The black Mercedes quickly started and drove towards its goal.

Li Sheng, who was in charge of driving, had a good level, and he drove smoothly all the way, and he couldn't feel the vibration in the car at all. Zhang Lexing sat in the back row, listening to the * report next to him on his itinerary during his stay in Hong Kong.

Holding a notepad,* he flipped through it and said, "Boss, during our stay in Hong Kong, we will stay at The Peninsula Hotel, which is in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui district, not far from Victoria Harbour, surrounded by famous shopping, business and entertainment hubs. There are no other arrangements for tonight, if you need to, I can take you around the hotel, do some shopping, and see the night view of Victoria Harbour. There will be more arrangements from tomorrow.

Tomorrow (15th) morning to visit Mr. Yang in the mid-mountain area, may have lunch at his house at noon, in the afternoon to visit the chip factory of Dongfang Microelectronics Co., Ltd., and then will have dinner with the senior management of Dongfang Microelectronics Co., Ltd. On the morning of the 16th, he inspected the Oriental Institute of Microelectronics, and at noon he will have lunch with the director of the institute and several technical supervisors, and in the afternoon, he has made an appointment with Mr. Cha and will visit him. On the 17th, I will inspect Kunpeng Animation, and will have lunch with the senior management of Kunpeng Animation at noon, attend a consortium meeting in the afternoon, and have a working meal in the evening. On the morning of the 18th, some pre-return matters were dealt with, and there was no arrangement in the afternoon. On the 19th, it will fly to Beijing on a flight from Dragonair......

That's all for the main itinerary, if anything changes, I will reschedule. ”

There's still a lot going on, and it looks like it's still busy. At this time, the car had already driven to the front of the Peninsula Hotel on Nathan Road, and after everyone got out of the car, Li Sheng drove the car to the parking lot, and Zhang Lexing and others walked into the hotel under the leadership of *. The timing was not too coincidental, and when I entered the lobby, I just missed the band's playing time, and there was no wonderful accompaniment, only the bustling crowd was left shuttling through.

*The reserved room is on the sixth floor, and when Li Sheng parks the car and arrives, everyone takes the elevator to the guest room on the sixth floor. * The selected guest room environment is not bad, the space inside is spacious and tall, the decoration is also magnificent, and the window can also overlook the hotel vestibule and fountain. Divide the room, put down the luggage, and the hungry people went to the restaurant to have a full meal. After eating enough, the feeling of jet lag became more obvious, and Zhang Lexing began to feel a little sleepy when he walked back to the guest room. When I returned to the room, I washed up briefly, and I didn't care about the proposal of the previous night tour, Zhang Lexing went to bed early.
