Chapter 186: Ancient Secrets (1)

After listening to Ma Xiaoyun's words, Xiao Yu was a little speechless, and what he said was too light.

"Game bugs? Who are you fooling, I'm hungry and don't see any loopholes in the game, this ancient god is obviously designed by you to put in the game, right, the artifact that sealed it was obviously also placed there by you, if you don't let you take this artifact, why do you still put it there? And the consequences of the release of the ancient gods, don't you game companies know? If you don't want the Elder Gods to come out, why did you design such a monster for what? Since all of this is designed and arranged by you, what loopholes are you talking about? ”

Xiao Yu was also unforgiving, and first told his own truth.

Jiang Zeyan smiled wryly when he heard this, "To be honest, this ancient god really has nothing to do with us." “

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said in his heart, what do you mean by this? Snorted coldly, but didn't say anything.

That Jiang Zeyan seemed to see Xiao Yu's disbelief, and was about to speak, but Huo Xian next to him pulled him.

The three of them turned around and glanced at each other, and ran to the corner to discuss, Jiang Zeyan casually snapped his fingers, but a translucent cover appeared out of thin air and covered the three of them, Xiao Yu stood outside the cover but couldn't hear any sound.

"Team leader, you can't tell him about this." Huo Xian said anxiously.

Jiang Zeyan smiled bitterly and sighed, "I'm afraid I can't be good if I don't tell him, haven't you seen it yet, this Xiao Yu knows this game very well, the artifact is such a valuable thing, do you think he can give up easily." “

Ma Xiaoyun worried: "What should I do then." Even if you tell him, he can't just give us the artifact, it's very valuable. “

Jiang Zeyan said: "That's also something that can't be helped. But let's explain the reason, and finally let him understand that this matter is not so simple. As long as he doesn't open his mouth, it's a big deal to give him a little compensation. “

After speaking, he waved his hand again, preventing the two from continuing to speak, "I am free to measure this matter." ”

Xiao Yu was standing there bored, and after half a sound, the three people over there walked back.

Jiang Zeyan said with a straight face: "Mr. Xiao, this matter involves a big secret in the game, and it stands to reason that you shouldn't know it, but the problem is that under the current situation, I don't think I can explain the seriousness of the matter to you, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince you to give up this artifact." So after much discussion, I'm going to tell you this secret, but before telling you this secret, you must sign a confidentiality agreement, and you must not tell this matter in the future. ”

While speaking, Jiang Zeyan took out a document and handed it to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu took it and took a look, this is a stable network, which roughly means that the sixth group of Party A's game operation team shares a major secret in the game plot with Party B, that is, Xiao Yu. Party B shall not take advantage of this secret to make profits, nor can it disclose the plot of this game in advance, otherwise it will bear legal responsibility and compensate for all losses caused thereby.

Xiao Yu read the document and said in his heart that it was really a dog. How did he come up with a shocking secret, but he was really curious.

After thinking about it, he was still very confident in his ability to keep secrets. I am afraid that there are some traps in this agreement, and if the other party arranges some conspiracy to frame them, they will leak the secret themselves and then say that they leaked it themselves. Then I didn't have to reason to go to a lawsuit with such a big company. Xiao Yu doesn't have that much confidence.

Shook his head and said: "This confidentiality agreement, I'm afraid I can't sign it, I can promise not to reveal it, if you are willing to tell me this secret, I will listen to it, but if you can't believe me, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me, but the agreement or something is still forgotten, anyway, all my belongings are in the game, and if I reveal this matter in the future, I am not afraid that you will wear small shoes for me." ”

Xiao Yu's words are also very sincere, he has made up his mind, since the other party wants to recover the artifact, it is them who are in a hurry anyway, and he is not afraid that they will not speak, then Jiang Zeyan hesitated, and seemed to feel that what Xiao Yu said also made sense: "Okay, then I'll say it." ”

He snapped his fingers, and suddenly there were a few more sofas and a wine cabinet in this empty room, he motioned for Xiao Yu to sit down, and then took out a bottle of hot tea from the wine cabinet and poured it for Xiao Yu, and when several people sat down comfortably, Jiang Zeyan began to speak.

"You may not know that the game Sky World is based on a very famous antique game at the beginning of the last century, of course, you ordinary players are unlikely to know about the antique game of a hundred years ago, but for us game makers, this game is indeed very valuable for research."

"When we were making the game Sky World, we largely imitated and borrowed from this antique game, and also copied a lot of the game's settings and plot characters, etc., of course, we still made a lot of changes during the production, but we also retained a lot of things, including the ancient gods."

"The ancient gods in this antique game, according to the background introduction of this game, come from the Cthulhu Mythos, you are called Azathoth in the game, which is in the Cthulhu Mythos, so I think you should know about the Cthulhu Mythos, right?"

Xiao Yu nodded, he had played a game set in the Cthulhu Mythos before, and had done some research on the Cthulhu Mythos, this Cthulhu Mythos is very dark and evil, weird and bizarre, and it is a very core thing, those who like it can't love it, and those who don't like it are completely insensitive or even disgusted.

Jiang Zeyan continued: "At that time, there were two chief designers in charge of making the game, one of them was called Shen Yuan and the other was Li Mingfei. ”

"This Shen Yuan is a fanatic of the Cthulhu Mythos, and Li Mingfei is a lover of traditional Dungeons and Dragons culture, so when designing this game, Shen Yuan immediately took a fancy to the setting of the ancient gods, while Li Mingfei prefers to keep the style of the game pure Western fantasy style, he pays more attention to alliances and tribal battles, various historical plot events, and those dragons, demons, undead and the like.

At this time, the concepts of the two people clashed, but it didn't matter, because the sky world was very huge, and the two people were responsible for their own things and made their own parts, and in this situation of not communicating with each other at all, the game world was gradually built. ”

Li Mingfei designed a huge fantasy world, a variety of adventures, a variety of monsters, bosses, and races that players can choose from, while Shen Yuan perfected the system of the ancient gods, and the different worlds they came from, as well as all kinds of weird and bizarre designs, but just when the two of them were about to merge the game into one, the problem arose.

Shen Yuan hopes that the game can take a dark and weird route, the player should be struggling in the game world, struggling to survive, there are evil monsters everywhere, there are terrible enemies everywhere, there are unknown risks everywhere, crazy adventures accompany every action of the player, you may accidentally take the wrong cursed item, or encounter a wandering evil god, the player will be sent to the graveyard, and the death penalty is also unusually high, some of the designs in the game can even be almost compared to horror games, Basically, players are playing a fantasy version of a post-apocalyptic survival type of game.

However, Li Mingfei thinks that the game should move closer to the pure Western fantasy style, the war between dragons and dungeons, swords and magic, gods and demons, things like the ancient gods, as a spice in the game, but as the mainstream, it is absolutely impossible.

The directors of the company are naturally biased towards Li Mingfei, because his design is more in line with the preferences of mainstream players, while Shen Yuan's design is too niche, no matter how thrilling and classic the game world he designs, but if you can't make money, then everything is in vain.
