Rob. Pardo invited some of his usual friends to a meal to celebrate.

He also shared with his friends that he had been invited to the intermittent years, and everyone congratulated him from the bottom of their hearts.

At the time of eating, Rob. A friend of Pardo asked Modi what his expression was when he found out about it. Pardo also answered truthfully, but the friend who asked sneered disdainfully, and he casually said something about Modi, which caused everyone to laugh.

At the beginning, Rob. In order to guess the meaning of RTS, Pardo actually held an Oxford dictionary every day and flipped through the pages, looking for words that might be able to be linked, which also made Modi quite strange. Pardo didn't hide it from anyone, and when someone asked, he answered truthfully.

In addition, there were a lot of people in the school who wanted to guess RTS at that time, so he didn't attract much attention, but he was very serious, but others just laughed and passed.

But Modi is different, and when he found out, he often talked about Rob when others did. In order to guess the meaning of RTS, when Pardo walked and sat every day and held the thick Oxford dictionary to read, he would interject in a disdainful tone, saying, "If he can guess, I will walk with my hands!"

After finishing speaking, he would also use a very exaggerated whisper to show that he was interested in Rob. Pardo's taunt.

Actually, Rob. Pardo didn't know what he had offended the other party about, and when he and Modi first met, he wanted to invite the other party to play a game, but he was unceremoniously rejected by the other party, and said something not very good.

After that, every time Rob. Pardo talking to friends about what games are fun. As long as he was met by Modi, he would always come out and taunt a few words, and then there were more times like this. Rob. Pardo also deteriorated his relationship with the other party.

"You didn't ask him how he walked with his hands?"

In Rob. After Pardo's friend finished talking about the previous Modi's deeds, someone immediately followed up and asked. And Rob. Pardo just smiled, "No, I'm going to invite him to dinner, but he thinks I'm showing off and humiliating him in front of him, and he is very unhappy to go to the bedroom alone."

As the saying goes, misfortune is not a single line, and blessing is incomparable.

But this time Rob. A week after he received an invitation and tickets to the Martian Carnival, he received another letter from Mars Entertainment, this time the same as the previous one. The packaging is also extremely gorgeous.

When he opened the envelope, which was one size bigger than the last time he had brought the invitation and tickets, he saw a brand-new invitation with a very ornate decoration, but this invitation was completely different from the kind of carnival invitation he had received before.

Not only in appearance, but also in the feel of holding it in his hand, this time the invitation made him feel a lot thicker.

In short, in Rob. Pardo felt that the price of just making such an invitation would not be cheaper - and when he opened the invitation and saw the contents. He immediately understood why this invitation was so.

Because it turned out to be an invitation to a dinner that Jester had prepared especially for him.

The place where the dinner was written on the invitation letter, this is a very high-profile restaurant in Los Angeles, and I heard that it has just been rated three stars on the Michelin report just released this year. It was all from the girls in the class, who used to say that their biggest dream was to go somewhere to have a fantastic dinner.

And the reason why Jester invited him to dinner is very simple, that is, in the letter he sent to Mars Entertainment, he not only guessed the exact meaning of RTS, but also wrote an article of more than 10,000 words about how real-time strategy games should actually be based on his own understanding.

This article. Jester felt very good and a lot of points inside. It all coincides with his thoughts.

So, Jester became interested in someone who could write the letter. But it's just interest, Jester doesn't have a lot of time, after all, a person of his level, every minute of his time is extremely precious, and it's unlikely that he will spare a special time to have dinner with someone who is just a little interested.

However, after the recent events were arranged, when Jester sorted out some information about the development of "Age of Empires", he once again saw this letter from Rob. Pardo's letter, when I read it, I probably didn't pay much attention to the signature of the letter, but this time because I was much more relaxed, after all, the development of the game has basically ended, and it can be determined that there is no problem with completing the trial version before the carnival, so he saw Rob. Pardo's name was only when he suddenly wondered.

Because Rob. Pardo is a name that is very deep in his memory.

He was one of the later Blizzard ace designers, known as the soul of Blizzard by many industry insiders, and within Blizzard, his colleagues liked to call him all-the-best, needless to say, but there is one thing that is certain, Rob. Pardo is one of Jester's best RTS game designers in the world where Jester was once - the lead designer of StarCraft: Brood Wars and Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos, as well as Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne, can attest

[,！ From this slightly green letter about the design of RTS games, Jester can see that this letter is written and that there is a talent for this type of game that is difficult for others to match.

You know, he just came up with so many design ideas for this kind of game from the three letters of RTS, and there are even a lot of them, which can indeed be called very good ideas, and by virtue of this, it can be said that none of the people who have just participated in the development of "Age of Empires" under his hands can have Rob. Pardo's talent in this area.

So, when Jester knew that the person who wrote the letter was the all-the-best of the future Blizzard, he immediately made a decision, he called his assistant, checked his schedule for the days before the carnival, and saw that he still had a few free time, so he decided to host a private dinner to reward Rob. This letter from Pardo.

This incident did not cause any objection in the company, because most of the people who participated in the development of "Age of Empires" had read this letter from Rob. Pardo's letter, they all thought that the person who wrote it was talented, and they did learn a lot from it during the development of Age of Empires.

Someone even suggested to Jester that they wanted to eat together too.

However, Jester refused, and Jester just said that he would wait for him to talk to Rob. After Pardo met, he naturally brought everyone to know, and if the other party agreed, he also decided to recruit the other party to Mars Entertainment to participate in the development of the next RTS game.

Because of this game genre, although it has not yet been tested by the market, in the internal test of Mars Entertainment, the popularity of this game has reached an incredible level.

For example, if Jester went out and walked around the company right now, he would be able to catch at least a few dozen people who were fighting in Age of Empires online.

This is still during working hours, not rest time.

Sometimes, when eating in the restaurant, Jester could hear many of his subordinates talking about how to train the Teutonic warriors as fast as possible, and for example, there were people discussing whether catapults or artillery were able to demolish castles, and arguing about who was the strongest cavalry between rangers and Templars...... These things.

Jester has no doubts about the popularity of real-time strategy games in this era, and it was around this time, to be precise, that "Dune 2", which should have come out a little later, set off a frenzy of RTS games.

When Rob. Pardo read the invitation and saw that it was written as a thank you for the great contribution he had made to the development of Age of Empires, and when Jester decided to reward him with one of them, he once again felt as if he were dreaming.

Having dinner with Jester, his own idol, the world's greatest game designer and the nation's top youth startup icon, and one of the 30 richest people in the nation last year by Forbes magazine, was like a dream for just an ordinary college student.

You know, he is only nineteen years old this year, although he is now in his third year of high school, but this is because he started school early.

Anyway, Rob. Pardo couldn't control his excitement.

After it took him more than an hour to calm down the excitement in his heart, it suddenly occurred to him that this was not a prank that someone had deliberately done, right? It can't be fake, right? After all, many people know about writing letters to Mars Entertainment, and they have never heard of Jester having dinner with someone before.

Thinking of this, Rob. Pardo was a little scared, what if it was fake?

After thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about it anymore, and directly called Mars Entertainment's phone, and he asked it himself, it can't be fake. (To be continued)
