"Sorry, we want to think again."

One of the investors said to the head of the Mizuki Research Office.

"We want to think again, too."

As he spoke, the other man followed suit.

"This, can you lower the price of your engine, it's a bit expensive."

Others began to bargain with Mizuki Laboratory.

Originally, everyone was full of interest and said that they wanted to buy this game engine, but Zhang Ning said that he was a little more worried.

In the end, neither of the two parties reached an agreement.

"Tong Lei, what's going on, doesn't it mean that these people are interested in buying our game engine?"

Zeng Peng, the leader of the Shuimu 2D game engine, was somewhat confused by these guys.

Obviously, I was very interested in buying it, and even a few days ago someone said that I could pay cash on the spot.

But I didn't think that after the product introduction conference was held at this time, everyone said that they were considering it.

"I don't know much about that."

Tong Lei also looked suspicious, but it seemed that she remembered something, "It seems that someone has a bad idea." ”

"Who?"

"I don't know this guy, but he's young, about 20 years old, and I don't know how he came to us."

"You're talking about Zhang Ning, the founder of Penguin Technology?"

"Zhang Ning?"

Tong Lei shook her head, "How can the founder of Penguin Technology be so young?" ”

"This, Tong Lei, don't you know, it is said that the founder of Penguin Technology is very young. Didn't we get an email from Penguin Technologies before, saying that their president would come over? ”

"No, that person is really Zhang Ning?"

Tong Lei still has some reluctance to believe it.

However, another young man with glasses on the side added, "Senior Sister Tong, that person is Zhang Ning." He seemed to say something to some of the other investors, and in the end, they felt that our 2D game engine was a bit expensive. ”

"Damn."

Tong Lei was furious, "Where is it expensive, where does he know that we have developed this game engine, it has taken tens of millions." In addition, we still have to scrape together enough money to develop a 3D game engine. ”

"Okay, don't talk about that, 3D game engines are already being studied abroad. No, it's already been launched. However, the 3D game engine of the online game version is still in the research stage for the time being. We need to collect funds in the short term, or we may fall behind in our research. ”

Zeng Peng interrupted everyone's discussion and said.

"Team leader, what do we do now?"

"It seems that the price can only be reduced."

In the face of the significance of many investors for the price, the Shuimu 2D game engine was actually yàn room, and the price was finally reduced to 7 million sets.

Although Zhang Ning still feels that the price of 7 million sets is still a little high, seeing that so many investors have long wanted to quickly enter the domestic online game market, Zhang Ning does not have too many lines to persuade. I had no choice but to follow them and buy this 2D game engine first.

However, after Zhang Ning made the idea of buying this 2D game engine, he didn't expect that the other party would not sell it to him.

"You are Zhang Ning?"

The person who received Zhang Ning was Tong Lei, who was in charge of the technical explanation of the engine project yesterday.

"Yes, it seems to have a grudge against you?"

Looking at Tong Lei, who was looking at him angrily, Zhang Ning was depressed.

"Do you say that you have a grudge, what did you say to them yesterday, don't you know?"

"Oh, that's what you're talking about."

Zhang Ning remembered.

Although there was some embarrassment, Zhang Ning still said, "I'm just weird, can't I just say that your game engine is expensive?" ”

"You ......"

With this rhetorical question, Tong Lei was speechless.

"Okay, you actually said that ours is expensive, then, we won't sell it to you."

Tong Lei didn't know why she was so angry, as if she wanted to beat her up when she saw Zhang Ning's appearance.

"Damn, this little lady still has a temper."

To be honest, Zhang Ning is really not particularly optimistic about their 2D engine.

If it weren't for Zhang Ning's lack of time, I'm afraid he would develop one by himself, which would definitely be more than 10 times stronger than theirs.

However, seeing the little lady in front of her with a straight face, Zhang Ning wanted to deliberately anger her again.

"It's really a big bully, open the door to do business, and there is a reason not to sell. Are you afraid that I will see that your 2D game engine is too bad and will not want to sell it to me? I'm going to tell them about your 2D game engine, which you really have to be careful with. Otherwise, one day if something goes wrong, your game could be ruined. ”

"You, bloody mouth."

"Miss, please don't talk so loudly, speaking big doesn't mean that you are more imposing."

"Okay, you say, our 2D engine has a bug, you can tell me where there is a bug."

was made popular by Zhang Ning, and Tong Lei looked like she wanted to fight with him.

"Turn on your computer and I'll show you."

Zhang Ning, who was a game developer in his previous life, knows everything about game engines.

For him, the game engine developed in 2000 had a lot of bugs if he really wanted to look for it.

In a fit of rage, Tong Lei turned on the computer and called up the game engine they had developed.

Of course, in order to better experience this game engine, they also initially built a small game on top of the game engine.

At this time, Zhang Ning operated a character and walked through the map.

In the game, there is a wall in front of you.

In general, most game engines do a good job of physical obstacle systems. When a character hits a wall, they will bounce back, or they can't rush into it. However, sometimes, big bugs appear here. Even though many game engines have made these settings, there are bugs to be found. Using a skill at random, Zhang Ning operated the character and quickly rushed straight to the wall, and in an instant, Zhang Ning entered the wall. And, stuck in the wall and unable to get out.

"Excuse me, Miss Tong, your physical obstacle system is too bad, I can't even get out now."

Indicating the in-game screen, Zhang Ning said.

"This ......"

Tong Lei was shocked and felt incredible.

"How do you do it, it's impossible, it's impossible."

"Nothing is impossible, the reality is that I'm stuck in the wall, you say it's impossible?"

Zhang Ning said as he operated the character in his hand again.

"Miss Tong, I found that your physical obstacle system is really bad. It's better for you to open an account too, let's enter the game, and I'll let you experience it again. ”

Tong Lei also turned on a computer and entered a small game they made.

It's just that, I don't know why, when Zhang Ning took a character and walked in front of Tong Lei's character, the characters in the two games actually bumped into each other, and even kissed each other.

"Oh my God, this, this ......"

Tong Lei had some crashes. The physical obstacle system will not only identify the collision between the character and the physical object, but also the collision between the character. When two characters bump into each other, the system will set a certain distance from them from leaning together. However, at this moment, the two characters in the game are actually next to each other, and they also make an action like a kiss.

"What, you're trying to say, you don't have a kind of kissing set up?"

Zhang Ning couldn't help but laugh.

Such a bug, not to mention a 2D game engine developed in 2000, even in 2014, sometimes, cannot be avoided. The famous Pro Evolution Soccer, when he was launched, there were a few more such intimate bugs. Moreover, at that time, the game characters in it were all between men and men.

Of course, in addition to these bugs, there are many bugs that are unthinkable during development. In particular, when such games are networked and interact with each other, a series of unheard of and unseen bugs will come one after another. Therefore, even if you don't have to look at how their game engine is set up, Zhang Ning knows that their game engine must not be able to avoid these bugs.

"I only played for a while before I noticed that there were so many bugs in your game. If I play him for another day, I'm afraid I'll have to find hundreds of bugs. I was thinking, your game engine has so many bugs, and you plan to sell 10 million. Although the price has now been reduced to 7 million, don't you think this is cheating people? ”

As soon as he spoke, Tong Lei's face was flushed.

She wanted to explain, but she couldn't.

She wanted to say that they had already made strict settings, but why did these bugs appear again?

In particular, as Zhang Ning said, he just experienced it for a while, if the whole game is really launched, then it can't be full of bugs?

"So, for me, your 2D game engine is not 7 million, even if it's 700,000, I think it's expensive."

This statement is half true, half false.

700,000 in the future, you can really buy an ordinary 2D game engine.

However, it was after the technology matured.

2D game engines from the 2000s, although not particularly expensive, were not much cheaper either.

"You ......"

Tong Lei glared at Zhang Ning again, but after staring at Zhang Ning for a long time, she suddenly retreated, "I want to know, how did you do it just now." ”

"Why are you suing you, you're not an employee of our penguins?"

Zhang Ning shook his head.

This is a secret, and Zhang Ning has to use these secrets to compete with a large number of game companies.

Sue them, Zhang Ning is not stupid.

"Okay, actually, with all that said, overall, your game engine is pretty good. However, don't expect to go back and study the number jù I just worked on to fix this bug. The reason why I was able to find your bug just now is not by chance, but because your game engine has problems in development. If this is not addressed, there will still be a series of such bugs in the future. Also, you have to be busy working on patches every day. ”

The reason why there are a lot of bugs in online games in later generations is because there are a lot of bugs in the game engine. In particular, in the early days of online games, almost every game operated on the market did not have hundreds or thousands of bugs, and I am really sorry that I was operating an online game. Even after the online game technology matures in the future, there will be a lot of unexpected bugs in operation. None of this is something that game engine developers or game operators can think of today.

"Okay, I'm not going to bargain with you, we want your 2D game engine, it's a check for 7 million."

This time, Tong Lei did not refuse again. I just hesitated a little and took the check, not knowing what was going on in my mind.
