"Chaoyang"'s first 3D online game "Ancient Legend" officially started the closed beta, and Lin Zhao, as the boss's boyfriend, got an internal beta spot. He signed up for an account and played with great interest.

Lin Zhao didn't know much about the production of games, and playing games was more of a pastime. His criterion for judging whether a game is good or bad is simply whether the game will entice him to keep playing.

Obviously, the game "Ancient Legends" can score 101 points for Lin Zhao. From the moment he registered his account, he sat in front of the computer and didn't even move to eat.

Qin Muyang looked at the time, closed the book and walked to Lin Zhao's side: "It's time to sleep." ”

Lin Zhao's eyes were fixed on the computer screen, and he didn't even look at him: "Wait." ”

Qin Muyang sighed: "It's already a little faster, you won't be at work tomorrow?" ”

"Soon?!" Lin Zhao glanced at the time and said in surprise, "How did time pass so quickly?" ”

"It's you who are too involved in playing," Qin Muyang gently patted Lin Zhao's head with the book, "I've finished reading all the books." ”

Lin Zhao reluctantly quit the game, stood up and stretched: "Hey, I don't want to go to work, I really wish every day was a weekend." ”

Qin Muyang said: "If you don't want to go, just quit, I'll support you." ”

Lin Zhao said happily: "Okay, when "Ancient" is launched, I will resign and stay at home every day to help you count your money." ”

That being said, the class still has to be attended. Lin Zhao sat in the office, thinking about his game all the time. It's been a long time since he's been so fascinated by a game, and he doesn't know if it's because he loves the house and the black, or if the game is inherently appealing.

Taking advantage of no one's attention, Lin Zhao secretly opened Baidu and typed in "Ancient Legends". He wanted to see what other players had to say about the game.

Since the game has just started internal testing, most of the content that comes out of Baidu is propaganda. Lin Zhao flipped through it for a while and saw a discussion about "Ancient Legends" in a game forum.

He clicked into the forum and found that most of them were players who were waiting for the open beta because they had not grabbed the beta test places, and only a few players had participated in the closed beta.

Lin Zhao flipped through the post and saw that the players who did not participate in the closed beta were anxiously waiting for the open beta, and saw the players who participated in the closed beta praising the game without hesitation, and the corners of his mouth were so happy that the corners of his mouth were about to grin behind his ears.

"Is the report ready?"

The sudden sound startled Lin Zhao, and he hurriedly closed the browser, revealing the following report: "It's done." ”

"Send it to my mailbox." After Xiao Wenxuan finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Zhao meaningfully, "Work hard." ”

Lin Zhao nodded weakly and opened the mailbox.

After Xiao Wenxuan left, Lin Zhao breathed a long sigh of relief. It's really hard to fish at work, it's too frightening!

After getting off work, Lin Zhao packed his things and couldn't wait to go home. He stood up and was just about to leave, when Xiao Wenxuan stopped him: "Lin Zhao, come to my office." ”

Lin Zhao was not so empty Xiao Wenxuan after work, he stood still and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Xiao Wenxuan frowned, and his tone was serious: "If you come, come here, why do you ask so much!" ”

Hearing this, Lin Zhao's heart suddenly became worried. He said no more, bowed his head and headed to the manager's office.

Although Xiao Wenxuan seems to be unreliable in private, he is very serious at work. There was once a girl who was scolded and cried directly by him because she forgot to prepare some materials for the meeting.

After that time, he changed from a "public lover" to a "cold-faced Hades" in the minds of all women, not to mention the secret promise of Fangxin, everyone was worried when they saw him.

However, under the leadership of Xiao Wenxuan, the efficiency of the entire department has improved a lot, and the performance has skyrocketed. Although people in the department often complain that Xiao Wenxuan is unkind, everyone agrees with his ability in their hearts.

In the process of walking to the office, Lin Zhao racked his brains to think about why Xiao Wenxuan asked him to go to the office.

Is there an error in the report? Or did you forget to turn in some information? It can't be because he fished in the afternoon, right?

Xiao Wenxuan is serious, but on the premise of not affecting his normal work, he is still allowed to touch the fish.

Nervous, Lin Zhao walked to the manager's office. He walked across from Xiao Wenxuan and shouted, "Manager Xiao." ”

Xiao Wenxuan's hands were tapping quickly on the keyboard, and when he saw Lin Zhao coming in, he beckoned him to come over: "Have you passed this copy?" I didn't go over all afternoon. ”

Lin Zhao: ......

The internal test of "Ancient Legends" is in full swing, and Chaoyang Company has struck while the iron is hot and increased its publicity efforts.

Qin Muyang has a very good set in terms of operation, he not only simply advertises, but also hypes up the game through various channels.

With the joint efforts of the water army and the tap water, the popularity of "Ancient Legends" has reached its highest point.

After consideration in all aspects, Qin Muyang set the game's open beta date for October 15th.

Everything is going smoothly, and the official Weibo of "Ancient Legends" has a lot of fans. There is a special Weibo administrator in the company, and Qin Muyang also has an official Weibo account on his mobile phone.

Lin Zhao's favorite thing every day is to hold Qin Muyang's mobile phone to read private messages and comments, and sometimes he will transfer out when he encounters something fun, and he is more conscientious than the Weibo administrator.

Two days before the game's open beta, Lin Zhao lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. Qin Muyang had already fallen asleep because he had stayed up all night, Lin Zhao was itching in his heart, and picked up his mobile phone again and opened Weibo.

The game is about to be in open beta, so the recent Weibo has been very lively. Weibo was full of comments, private messages, and Lin Zhao didn't have too much, so he opened it up one by one.

Many of the private messages are looking forward to the open beta of the game, and there are also some comments. Of course, there are inevitably some strange species in the middle, and when they come up, they will scold "Ancient Legends" as rubbish, and the people who make this game are brain-dead!

Lin Zhao looked funny and silently reported the person.

After reading the private message for a while, Lin Zhao planned to go back and look at the comments again. At this moment, several private messages with different styles caught his attention.

"Hello, I'm a gamer and have some interest in game design. Just now I played your game, and found that the setting of a hidden copy in the game is very similar to the game setting I posted on the forum a few years ago, can you give me an explanation? ”

"I'm not here to find fault, it's just that the similarity is really too subtle, and even the costume design of the characters is similar, which makes people have to think about it."

"[Picture] [Picture]."

"Can you give me an explanation?" If the explanation is reasonable, I can not be held responsible. ”

After more than an hour, the account posted again, "Okay, I got it. ”

Lin Zhao was shocked, and followed the nickname to the person's homepage.

Judging from the homepage, this person is indeed a game enthusiast, and there are a lot of Weibo about games on the homepage, including "Ancient Legends".

"Grab a place in the closed beta of an ancient legend, I don't know how this game is."

"Mom! It's so much fun! A game of conscience! ”

"#上古传奇#带话题卖安利, it's really fun, come and eat my Amway!"

"It doesn't feel right......"

"I didn't reply to the private message, and the staff on the phone said I wanted to blackmail money, and hung up on me, hehe......"

And his latest Weibo is: "#上古传奇 ##上古传奇抄袭#当初有多期望, how disappointed I am now." "Below is a long picture of plagiarism in "Ancient Legends".

Lin Zhao opened the picture, and the comparison on the picture was much more detailed than in the private message. After reading the picture, Lin Zhao broke out in a cold sweat.

- That person's alleged plagiarism is not slander, but a fact with conclusive evidence! A hidden copy of "Ancient Legends" is very similar to the setting that the person posted on the forums three years ago!

This matter is not trivial, Lin Zhao sent a private message to that person, and then woke up Qin Muyang.

Qin Muyang slept soundly, and his eyes were still a little unable to open after being woken up by Lin Zhao. Lin Zhao told him the matter briefly, and he woke up in an instant.

"That person didn't reply to the message, what should I do?"

Qin Muyang looked at his mobile phone and frowned: "You go to bed first, and I'll solve this matter." ”

At this time, Lin Zhao could still sleep, but he really couldn't help much, so he could only follow and be anxious.

Early the next morning, Qin Muyang convened an emergency meeting. When pressed by him, a developer came forward and admitted that he had borrowed the premise he had seen on the game's forums.

Qin Muyang stared at the developer who made a mistake and said word by word: "You are stealing!" ”

"That post has been posted for a long time, and generally no one pays attention, so I ......" The developer wanted to defend himself, but under Qin Muyang's gaze, his voice became smaller and quieter.

"We'll talk about you later." Qin Muyang turned his gaze to everyone and said in a deep voice, "Now let's discuss the solution to this matter. Zhang Yu, have you contacted the original creator? ”

Zhang Yu, who was sitting next to him, said: "No, he has not replied to the Weibo private message, and his phone number has not been found." ”

"Keep looking, if you can't contact anyone before twelve o'clock, postpone the open beta time of "Ancient Legends"."

As soon as these words came out, the pot suddenly exploded below. An anxious investor stood up and said loudly: "Now is the time when "Ancients" is hot, postpone the public beta, how much money will you have to lose!" ”

Qin Muyang said: "There will indeed be losses in postponing the open beta, but no matter how big the loss is, it will not be greater than the damage caused by plagiarism." ”

Someone whispered: "It's just a little bit of a setting, it's not that serious, right?" ”

The person below chimed in: "Yes, we don't recognize it to death, what can we do with that person?" Can he still sue us? ”

"It's just one place like that, and the rest of the places are our originals, so it's okay."

"And players generally don't pay attention to these, and the number of retweets on that Weibo is only a few."

Qin Muyang quietly listened to the gossip below, but did not speak. After everyone finished speaking, he spoke: "You're right, this original creator is just a little-known person, even if we copy his setting, he can't do anything to us." But because of this, can we steal his fruits with peace of mind? Everyone is a designer, and you should know how bad plagiarism is. No matter how much you copy, no matter whether anyone finds out or not, as long as you copy it, you are a thief, you are a robber, and you will never want to wash away this stigma for the rest of your life. Chaoyang was created by you and me, and I don't think we want it to be ruined by plagiarism. ”

Qin Muyang's tone was very calm, but the deterrent power in his words was not reduced at all. After listening to his words, everyone in the conference room fell silent.

An investor still didn't give up, and suggested: "We can contact that person while the open beta is in session, and when we get in touch, we will ask him to buy the copyright, and it doesn't necessarily have to be delayed in the open beta." ”

Qin Muyang asked, "What if he refuses to sell?" ”

"Ordinary people will sell it, after all, his setting is a worthless idea thrown in the forum, and he still has money to sell it to us."

"Can you guarantee that he will sell?"

The investor said with little confidence: "I can't guarantee it, but it's very likely." Not 100 percent, at least 90 percent. ”

Qin Muyang said solemnly: "What I want is not possibility, but affirmation." It's about Chaoyang's reputation, and I don't even want to risk one percent of it. ”

Someone hesitated and said, "I doubt it...... This incident was deliberately dug for us. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly opened their mouths and began to analyze the strangeness of this matter.

"If it wasn't for a conspiracy, why did that person come to us two days before the open beta?"

"And I can't contact anyone after I post it on Weibo, it's obviously intentional!"

"Maybe that setting is not the person who posted Weibo at all, he just wants to splash our dirty water!"

Zhang Yu frowned and analyzed: "But if someone really deliberately dug a pit, he could wait for our game to be launched before exposing it, how could he come to us in advance." ”

Someone retorted: "Weibo receives so many private messages every day, who would really read every one." That person came to us to go through a process, so that we could more confidently say that our company bullied people. Who knew that we just saw his private message and replied to him, so he was going to hide, planning to wait for our game to open beta before talking. ”

"Plagiarism doesn't necessarily make a fuss, maybe that person just wants to scare us and let us delay the open beta."

Qin Muyang glanced at the conference room and said sharply: "Regardless of whether this matter is a conspiracy or not, we are the ones to blame." No one forced us to plagiarize, it was us who wanted to jump into the pit. ”

Zhang Yu nodded: "If someone really is staring at this matter, we must be more cautious and not fall into the hands of others." ”

Qin Muyang stood up and made a final decision: "If you can't contact anyone before twelve o'clock, you will postpone the public beta." Meeting! 166 Reading Network
