When Zhang Lexing was still working hard for his dream in Hong Kong, at the same time, a corner of the open office area of the Blue Dragon Company in San Jose, USA, on the other side of the ocean......

Now the most carefree in the whole company is Zhan Jun's group of people, the previous development project has been completed, and after confirming that he wants to return to Beijing, he did not continue to arrange new development tasks, as a result, everyone is a little panicked every day, but fortunately, they are all very conscious people, to no one takes the opportunity to be lazy, and they are seizing the time to study hard.

Peng Hanwen is the youngest of all, when he came to the United States, he just turned 20 years old, it is said that he likes computers since he was a child, and his family conditions are also good, so he can play from Apple II to the Great Wall 0520CH, and he is quite familiar with the assembly programming of a variety of computers. After coming to the United States, he was like a fish in water, although the level of game design did not improve much, but from playing modem to surf the Internet, he gradually became familiar with computer communication technology, and the assembly language on the PC was extremely proficient.

This year, Peng Hanwen is hooked on a new gadget - Mud, a medieval fantasy background mud game "LPMUD" that was launched a few years ago. Since playing LPMUD, Peng Hanwen announced that he will never touch other games again, because those single-player games seem too lonely compared to the excitement of Mud. According to Peng Hanwen: "There are good things to share with his brothers", he not only played by himself, but also pulled a lot of people into the water, such as the Han brothers, Shao Yijie and others who are engaged in interactive interface design, in fact, the real reason is that Peng Hanwen wants to find some trustworthy people to team up with, after all, if you are not familiar with life, you can't find those "foreigners".

During this break, Peng Hanwen continued his struggle even in LPMUD, and today is no exception, but with a slight difference that he is no longer a player struggling to survive in the game, but a wizard with boundless power (Wizzard). The wizard in Mud is a bit equivalent to the GM of the era of online games in the new century, but the wizard has much more power, on the one hand, he uses his specific administrator rights to maintain the order of the Mud world, and on the other hand, he is also a game developer, constantly developing new content (new maps, new quests, new NPCs, new gameplay) of Mud. In fact, for the title of GM (GameMaster, Game Administrator), the wizard in Mud is more consistent, and those GMs in the new century online game era can only be regarded as GW (GameWaiter, game waiter) at most, and they have no ability to move the content of the game at all.

Since Peng Hanwen was granted the status of a trainee wizard by Tenjin (the creator of the game, with all the privileges) through LPMUD's online recruitment a week ago, he has been spending more than ten hours in this Mud game almost every day. After a week of hard work with the Great Wizard, although he still has a sign of apprenticeship, Peng Hanwen thinks that he is already familiar with the work of wizards, and it is time to become a teacher, so he plans to try another privilege of wizards today - use the embedded LPC (a game scripting language, similar to C language) to create new content for the game, and his goal is to add an NPC in a small town in the desert that can automatically respond to players' questions.

Flipping through his notebook, Peng Hanwen carefully checked the LPC code he planned to write, which was modified from a piece of code that the great wizard gave him for reference, which can be said to be his hard work during this time. The code should be fine, Peng Hanwen went to his working directory and began to enter the code with the editing function.

A hand suddenly slapped on Peng Hanwen's shoulder, which frightened him who was concentrating on entering the code, and a guy made several mistakes, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Zhan Jun standing behind him.

"Boss (since Zhan Jun brought two projects, some people are used to this title), people are scary and will scare people to death. Peng Hanwen said with palpitations.

Zhan Jun pointed to the screen and said, "Who told you to play so attentively, it's still the same "LPMUD" today?"

"Boss, my identity is different now, and I will be a wizard in the game in the future. Peng Hanwen shook his head and said proudly.

"What's the difference, isn't it still a game. Although the boss did not arrange a job for us, we should also cherish the current environment and have time to learn more useful things. Zhan Jun said earnestly, the expression on his face was quite solemn, as if he was admonishing a lost child.

"Boss, don't be too prejudiced. After becoming a wizard, I learned how to create game content, and I also mastered the LPC scripting language in it, and this game is really fun, or I can help you create an account, you can try it. Peng Hanwen felt that he was going to faint, it was not okay to go on like this, he had to pull the boss into the water, otherwise he would have the spirit to be a great wizard with such broken thoughts next to his ears every day.

Peng Hanwen's proposal really made Zhan Jun a little moved, of course, he thought more about "no investigation, no right to speak", if you want to save Peng Hanwen, you must have strong evidence. After getting the account that Peng Hanwen helped register and a note with the login address, Zhan Jun turned on a computer next to him that no one used, activated the address on the Telnet login note, and then entered the account password, and after answering the initial questions of Datong, a newcomer appeared in a small town in the desert.

"Peng Hanwen, how do you walk?" Zhan Jun was dumbfounded when he saw the interface of this game, even if he didn't have a mouse in the games he had played before, he could use the arrow keys (cursor keys on the keyboard) to walk around, but this game pressed the arrow keys for a while and there was no response, and the mouse was obviously not used, so he had to resort to a trick - to ask for help from the audience outside the venue.

Peng Hanwen stretched out his head and glanced at it, and said, "Pay attention to the prompts on the screen, which will introduce those obvious exits in the scene, and then you can enter the southeast, northwest, and northwest according to the prompts, and you can go." ”

Zhan Jun nodded and returned to the game...... A minute later......

"Peng Hanwen ......"

"Boss, call me a wizard, it's more imposing. ”

"Wizard classmate, what do you want to do?"

Wizard Peng leaned over again and looked at it, and said, "You type 'say' first, then leave a blank space, and add what you want to say." ”

"Oh. Zhan Jun nodded and threw himself into the game again...... Five minutes later......

"Wizard classmates, what should I do if I want to fight?"

Wizard Peng looked over again, and then said: "You first type 'fight', then a blank space, and then enter the name of the person you want to fight, be careful, don't fight randomly, you are still a novice." ”

"Oh. Zhan Jun nodded and threw himself into the game again...... Ten minutes later......

"Wizard classmates, how can you be resurrected if you die?"

Wizard Peng was probed again this time, stretched out a hand and waved, and then said sadly: "Boss, it's my fault, I just knew that this game was fun, but I didn't notice that you are still a novice." This is a beginner's guide I wrote, so you can take it and study it for a while. As he spoke, Wizard Peng took out a notepad and handed it to Zhan Jun.

Zhan Jun nodded, took the notepad, and began to study the ...... Fifteen minutes later......

"Wizard Classmate ......"

"Boss, please spare me, can you give me a little more time, it will be fine immediately. Wizard Peng pleaded in pain.

"But I ......"

Before Zhan Jun could finish his words, he was interrupted again, and Wizard Peng's classmate begged with both hands: "Boss, one minute, just one minute, only the last point." ”

"Well, just for a minute. Zhan Jun sighed and could only agree.

…… A minute later......

"Wizard Classmate ......"

"Boss, give me one more minute, it's just the last point. ”

…… Five minutes later......

"Wizard Classmate ......"

"Boss, give me one more minute, it's really just the last point. ”

…… Ten minutes later......

"Wizard Classmate ......"

"Boss, as long as it's the last minute, this time it's definitely just the last point. ”

…… Thirty minutes later......

"Whew......" Zhan Jun, who was waiting, let out a uniform snoring sound.

“…… It's just the last point. ”

…… An hour later......

"Boss, it's okay. Wizard Peng finally finished what he called "last-minute debugging", and turned his head to find that Zhan Jun had fallen asleep, so he had to pat it lightly with his hand.

Zhan Jun, who was asleep, moved his body, adjusted his head, and muttered, "I know, it's only the last point." ”

Seeing that the slapping had no effect, Wizard Peng simply changed the slap to shake, and almost didn't push Zhan Jun off the chair, but it was really effective, and Zhan Jun was finally tossed and woke up.

patted his face to make himself more sober, Zhan Jun finally figured out that Wizard Peng's work was done, and it was his turn to ask questions.

"Boss, if you have any questions just now, just ask, I will definitely know everything. Peng Hanwen, who had withdrawn from the wizarding state, said very generously.

"...... just now" Zhan Jun almost forgot what question he was going to ask just now, and scratched his head for a while before remembering: "Oh, I didn't actually want to ask about the operation of the game just now, but I played it for a while, and I thought this kind of game seemed to be quite interesting." ”

"Boss, you like this game too, haha, now I have another bosom friend. Peng Hanwen crossed his waist and laughed proudly.

"But the absence of Chinese always seems to be a fly in the ointment. ”

"Boss, I've thought about it too, so isn't this just studying games? ”

"Do you say that if we make this game Chinese, will we have a head?" Zhan Jun touched his chin, pondering his proposal.

"Boss, the domestic network environment is definitely not as good as this, unless you plan to be an international student market. ”

"It's okay to do this now, and now we are doing experiments, and when the domestic network environment improves, we will take out a more mature one. ”

"That's fine, but the two of us won't be able to keep it busy, but if there are a lot of participants, what will the boss do with the development fee. ”

"You can apply to the Blue Dragon, we are all fine now, I estimate that this project should not use too much development fees, mainly after the development is completed, servers and line resources are needed, and it will be a big deal to hand over to the Blue Dragon to operate." Although the boss didn't give us the task, everyone has always been paid by the boss, so we can't really do nothing. ”

Zhan Jun's point of view Peng Hanwen agrees very much, if there is no boss to support, he still doesn't know where in the country he is nesting, how can he have the opportunity to come into contact with such advanced computer technology abroad, so he has long made up his mind to overcome all difficulties and must help the boss work hard.

Then the two brought the others in, got together and muttered for a while, and soon after, the "Application for Carrying out Mud Business" written by Zhan Jun and provided by Peng Hanwen was submitted. Since there have been several successful Mud projects in operation before, Blue Dragon itself has also done a similar to "LPMud", but the operation work has not come by itself, so the company's senior management is very interested in this application, after all, international students are also a relatively emerging market, anyway, the investment is not large, you can try it.

Therefore, the Chinese Mud project team led by Zhan Jun was officially established, and the Blue Dragon Company invested 100,000 US dollars as development funds, intending to modify the Mud game made by the Blue Dragon Company into the Chinese version, considering the characteristics of the international student market, this version of the Mud game uses myths and legends as the game background, as for the name of the game, according to Zhan Jun: "Since we are all Orientals, then this game should also be reflected, it is better to call it 'Oriental Story'." ”

With the source code and related materials, the speed of modification is much faster, and the Chinese processing part with the Rising Sun software has been no longer an obstacle over the years, when Zhang Lexing just arrived in Beijing, the beta version of "Oriental Story" has been launched, and a small range of testing among international students has begun. The introduction of the game in all Chinese (including both simplified and traditional), the game environment in all Chinese, immediately attracted many players who hated the popular Mud full English interface, and the online quota of 100 people on the test server soon began to fill up every day, and even Zhan Jun and others almost couldn't get in when they maintained, and finally had to rely on technical means to limit the number of logins to temporarily solve this problem.

With such a goal, a company called Blue Dragon Network was quickly established and began to set up its own game development team in the Internet era, thus creating a new sky. And Zhan Jun and the others didn't think about it so much, they were just busy revising and perfecting "Oriental Story" every day, and at the same time looking forward to the day when they were called.
