This constellation chart is the "Four Elephants and Twenty-eight Nakshatras" of ancient China.

Ancient humans all over the world, when looking up at the starry sky, will be shocked by the vast nebula, believing that this is a heavenly book left by God to mankind, and people need to exhaust their wisdom to comprehend. Different peoples, different human beings, use different words to record their own understanding.

In ancient China, the starry sky was divided into four elephants: the green dragon and the white tiger. Such an understanding is outdated in the twenty-first century. But this is the enlightenment that countless ancient Chinese sages have made by looking up at the starry sky and contemplating the universe, human beings, themselves, the past, and the future.

Their observations of the stars formed the Chinese calendar and ignited the first spark of a civilization.

When they were able to tell the years and months through the stars, the Chinese had a lunar calendar. Knowing that the week is seven days alternate repeatedly, the month is reincarnated by four weeks represented by the four elephants. Together with the solar calendar, the twenty-four solar terms are derived.

Since then, the Chinese have gained the ability to predict the approaching cold winter. Knowing when winter is coming, you can stock up on food in advance, plough in summer and rest in winter.

In a sense, it was the first wise men in ancient times who used their wisdom to understand the mystery of the stars and light up the spark of the entire Chinese civilization. The Chinese have been able to live and reproduce, year after year, until today.

This is the treasure of the birth of the entire Chinese civilization.

The more he learned in detail, the more Chen Xinghan understood how great the understanding of the stars was by the wise men of ancient China. He thought to himself, if he could put the wisdom of countless ancients into the game. Isn't that an art game? Doesn't it make people feel the shock from the bottom of their hearts?

Chen Xinghan consulted various materials, carefully studied the "Twenty-Eight Constellations", and then compared the game and made a setting.

The four elephant totems represent the four basic attributes in the game. The green dragon represents the "attack power" in the game, the Xuanwu represents defense, the Vermilion Bird represents physical strength, and the white tiger represents agility.

The upgrade mode of the game has been changed from monster farming, playing experience points, and leveling up to lighting up the "Twenty-Eight Constellations" in the protagonist's body.

Players light up the stars on the star palace, which sounds very chic. In fact, it is no different from the addition points like "Diablo 2". There is no question of balance.

However, this change represents a step forward in the direction of art for this game and this company! Even at the game level, it doesn't seem to change much. But the picture that the player sees. But from the dry values. Transformed into a magnificent and vast nebula!

For thousands of years, countless human beings have collectively comprehended that starry sky, and this magnificent beauty has brought shock. It's in people's genes!

Chen Xinghan firmly believes this. When he was in elementary school, he looked at the solar system diagram in the Xinhua dictionary and read it for a long time. When he was in junior high school, he also held the "Nature" textbook and stared at the pictures of the universe in it for a long time.

He believes that this design will not only shock him, but also move his colleagues and his boss!

Chen Xinghan even gave full consideration to the boss, and this change does not need to increase the cost much. The structure of the game remains the same, as long as the player enters a new character upgrade page when leveling up points, and that's it.

In the company, Chen Xinghan continued to do his work quietly. Because he is an intern, it is his job to buy food at noon and sweep the floor in the afternoon. The work must not be left behind, and rough modeling must be done with cracked pirated software.

If you don't buy the genuine version, many software only have the most basic functions, and you can't call other modules, and the quality of the things made is very poor.

When such a thing was made, Chen Xinghan handed it to the product manager, and the product manager passed the acceptance and sent a new task after looking at it casually. There is no quality control at all. The same goes for other colleagues, and it's about the same as messing around.

Working in such an environment, Chen Xinghan has a greater sense of mission. He knew the game was hopeless, but he wanted to add a highlight to the game on his own.

A spark can start a prairie fire!

Chen Xinghan firmly believes that as long as his boss and colleagues can experience beautiful feelings from the game...... Even if he was only one-tenth of the time he was moved when he played "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" in 96, then they would definitely wake up!

In the future, he will join you to witness the birth of artistic games in this world!

The meaningless work gave Chen Xinghan more motivation. Every day when he came home, he was full of energy to design the "Four Elephants and Twenty-Eight Constellations".

As a child, before he had access to computers, Chen Xinghan loved to draw. But because his parents were against it, he didn't insist, and at this time he started making art again. It's just a creative tool, it's turned into a computer.

He downloaded a 300M image of the starry sky from the official website of NASA in the United States. According to the format of the four elephants and twenty-eight stars, the ancient Chinese's imagination of the "heavenly world" is circled. In the middle is the Tiangong Qiong Tower, up and down, left and right, are the four elephant beasts.

After drawing the renderings, Chen Xinghan made specific designs for the game. The four elephants are divided into twenty-eight nakshatras, and each constellation has several stars connected to each other. Each star is seen as a point, and lighting it up will increase the protagonist's health or attack power.

When it is completely lit up, the Vermilion Bird, the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, and the Xuanwu, the four divine beasts will shine in the vast starry sky. As long as Chen Xinghan thinks about this picture, he will feel magnificent. And the main character of the game will become more powerful.

Chen Xinghan has already figured out how to convince the boss, and the best result is that the boss is shocked and immediately adopts it.

Even if the boss is indifferent or even not very optimistic, you can impress him with benefits. Watching the stars gradually join into a pattern should make many players stay in the game for half a year or even longer. Then the company can also make a lot of card money.

Chen Xinghan felt that directly replacing the upgrade mode seemed to be a bit presumptuous. Then it's okay to use it as a passive skill menu! The point is that the game he's working on has had a shining point from then on.

……

Chen Xinghan finally made the design and carefully printed his work. Because it was a poster, it cost a lot of money.

He hasn't gotten his first month's monthly salary yet, and he doesn't care about it, and he enters the company with high spirits. I took the design to the product manager. Want to get the manager to hand it over to the boss.

"What is this?" The manager raised his eyes to look at Chen Xinghan.

"It's a design I made." Chen Xinghan, who has not yet passed his twentieth birthday, has an expression on his face that only young people have. Under a bit of pride, there is still a little panic and expectation.

"What?" The manager just glanced at the gorgeous starry sky map, and didn't bother to read the dense setting book, so he asked directly.

If Chen Xinghan had a little more experience, he would be able to hear something from his tone. But he was too young to know that the manager was not interested, so he said to himself: "That's the case, I think it's better to add some highlights to the game, and it is more artistic." The Nakshatra diagram is derived from ......"

"Alright, alright." The product manager said impatiently, "You go and do your job." These are not things you are thinking about. ”

Chen Xinghan was stunned, "Manager, listen to me." This thing should increase user stickiness......"

"Enough! What do you think you are? How amazing is Jiaotong University? The product manager immediately became angry, just an intern, where can he have the courage to point fingers? He couldn't get angry, so he used the topic to play: "Your recent work is a mess!" Is it because I secretly did this at work? ”

"It's not ......," Chen Xinghan hurriedly distinguished.

He was about to say another when a colleague next to him, a few years older than him, came up and said, "Manager." Recently, Xiao Chen didn't know what he was doing during his working hours. I thought you gave him some special work, so I never said it. ”

Chen Xinghan looked at his colleague in disbelief, and didn't react at all. The two have no grudges or grudges, and they are quite harmonious at work on weekdays, why did they come so suddenly?

He didn't know that his identity as a student of "Jiaotong University" would actually make people blush. He hurriedly defended: "I did this when I went home!" ”

The manager said impatiently: "It doesn't matter what you're doing, you don't pay attention to your work." Really, it's just a prestigious university, what is there to be pretentious! I'd rather graduate from vocational high school than someone like you. You go to work first, I'll report to the boss later! ”

Chen Xinghan was stunned, he didn't know how he sat in front of his computer, and he was stunned for a long time.

He didn't expect that his good intentions would cause such consequences.

The colleague who fell into the well just now acted as if nothing had happened. As soon as the manager left, he went to Yahoo to read the newly collected jokes, and when he met something funny, he said to others: "Hey, I saw another amazing ......"

Chen Xinghan seemed to feel that something was broken in his heart. But there is still hope for him! When the boss comes to the company, maybe the boss can understand his thoughts!

But in the afternoon, the boss came drunk and came running. The boss has other industries to take care of, and he has to entertain a lot of things, and the game company just invests with spare money, so it is impossible to attach so much importance to it.

When the product manager took what Chen Xinghan had made and went to report to work, he also told him what happened in the morning. If you want to know, the boss doesn't want to hear or understand this at all, and let the product manager handle it.

Here the boss looked at the finances drunkenly and left. The product manager immediately took the chicken feathers as an arrow, turned around and pointed at Chen Xinghan and scolded.

There are very few students at Jiao Tong University. The product manager only got a correspondence degree, and he was able to scold Chen Xinghan, mainly to relieve his anger, and by the way, he could also stand up.

Chen Xinghan clenched his fists, lowered his head and listened silently, and after hearing the manager say for the fifth time, "You are a college student with low eyes", he suddenly stood up, went over and took the carefully printed poster, as well as various text designs, and turned to leave.
