At Thursday morning's regular meeting, Hellfire Entertainment welcomed a new member after a long absence:

"Big-home-good."

Because she had been at home for a month, a certain girl who had greatly improved her Chinese level, wearing a black robe that seemed to be borrowed from Zhou Yan, stood in front of the stage and bowed to everyone, looking very well-behaved.

"This is Christine from the United States. Raymond, officially become one of us today," Zhao Nuo introduced himself to the blonde girl next to him.

This guy proposed to join the company before, but at that time, her Chinese level was really poor to tears. It is only today that we have finally reached a level where we can have basic daily communication.

After Zhao Nuo's introduction, a group of game nerds in the audience talked about it, and some people have recognized "SpawN II", who has recently become famous in the supernova live broadcast platform. This violent foreign girl, whose popularity has risen like a rocket, has only been broadcast live a few times, and she is already about to be promoted to the level of a top anchor.

After the meeting, Zhao Nuo led Christine, who had just joined the company, to an idle office in the northwest corner of this floor:

"This is your office, and there may be a Termination Team guy coming in the afternoon." He said to Christine.

"Oh, why isn't there anything?" The blonde girl looked at the office setting.

There was nothing but a few black wooden desks, and it was completely empty, and although it was the same size as the other offices next to it, it still looked much more empty.

"There's only one spare office in the company, and someone is probably coming soon." Zhao Nuo said.

Despite last night's challenge to Sam. Quint said harsh things, but he was sure the guy would come.

In fact, apart from the disagreement on the difficulty of the game, the two are relatively compatible.

If that's the guy, you can understand what you mean......

Christine found a table leaning against the corner, put the laptop in her hand on the table, and asked, "What am I going to do?" ”

"It's okay for now, and in the future, you can work with the 'Execution Team' and help me get a message out once in a while." Zhao Nuo said with a smile.

Aside from testing the game, he didn't know what this girl who was passionate about FPS games could do. The reason why she was hired this time was also quite a "buy and return the pearl" - as long as this guy was hired, the super hacker named "MURDER7" under her command could also be used for herself, and this kind of business was really a good deal.

"Oh, can I play the game?" Christine asked excitedly.

"Yes, but beware of that middle-aged man in black, that guy is very strict." While Zhao Nuo was speaking, the scene of the "Personnel Supervisor vs. Comic Planning Team" that would be staged every week came to mind.

“GOGOGO！”

Christine didn't seem to hear the second half of her sentence at all, but immediately turned on the computer, easily connected to the wireless network, and then opened the battle hall of "Battlefield", ready to have a brutal duel in her new company.

Seeing that the "princess" soon entered a state of war, Zhao Nuo sighed helplessly and went back to his office.

After turning on the computer, I first opened the mailbox and checked the email. Quint sent a very brief message:

"We came over about four o'clock in the afternoon."

"Ha, it looks like that guy wants to open it too." Zhao Nuo smiled.

For veteran players like them, who have been playing games since childhood, they are initially attracted by the fun nature of the game. And a game that is too difficult to abuse people to the point of pain is difficult to make players feel good.

Zhao Nuo is sure that if The Executioner had lowered the difficulty and cut the overly bloody table by the way, the sales of that game would have been much higher than it is now.

In his opinion, after a game is released, it becomes a "work of art" shared by players, and only what can be accepted by the public can be regarded as a truly good game.

-- If the "execution team" is about to join in the afternoon, we must hurry up and finish our work......

Realizing this, Zhao Nuo connected the USB flash drive he got from Xia Xiaoling to the computer, copied out the text in it, and then installed the test patch called "TEST2" on the "Legend of the War of the Three Kingdoms" on his computer.

What needs to be tested this time is not an improved game engine, but the DLC of "Legends of the Great Three Kingdoms War".

In the process of improving the game engine, the other members of the company are not all idle, in addition to the "Death Room" that has been harmonized into "Dark Chamber", another project they are working on is the DLC of "Legend of the Great Three Kingdoms".

The new characters added to this DLC are Zhou Tai, Xu Shu, Zuo Ci and Hua Tuo. The first two characters have also appeared in the previous episodes, but they are not selectable characters. The latter two are "real hidden characters" who have never come out at all.

And "Xiang Yu", which was previously designed by Xia Xiaoling and was originally intended to be added to the DLC, was removed under Zhao Nuo's suggestion.

――Xiang Yu's design is placed in "The Legend of the War of the Three Kingdoms", which is not only completely inappropriate, but also affects the balance.

However, the domineering and exposed "Overlord" is very helpful for the company's new work that is making Zuò. You can even take it out and use it as the main character of a new game.

After successfully installing the DLC, Zhao Nuo opened "The Legend of the War of the Three Kingdoms", only to see that several new levels had appeared in the options of the new game. And in the game's character selection list, there are also four new character avatars.

"Let's have a good fight."

After choosing Zuo Ci, Zhao Nuo casually chose the first level "Yellow Turban Rebellion" as the test map and began to test the characters.

Skip the plot animation and go directly to the level, and what catches your eye is still the familiar "Taiping Road Altar" map. And this time, he used an old man in a white robe, holding a feather fan, staggering, and senile dragon clock.

"This Zuo Ci is still quite old......"

Switching perspectives, Zhao Nuo saw that Zuo Ci's face was full of wrinkles, his hair was as white as snow, and his hands were skinny and skinny, and Cheng Dù, who was skinny and skinny, was more appropriate than a hand.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the character model, Zhao Nuo controlled Zuo Ci to move back and forth, and there were no technical mistakes in the way this character moved. But......

"Why is it limping, did this thing have a broken leg?" Zhao Nuo frowned slightly.

Although Zuo Ci is an elderly person in many games, it is the first time I have seen this kind of Cheng dù.

――Can such a guy really fight? A small soldier will probably fall to the ground and die if he slashes casually.

Zhao Nuo secretly complained while manipulating Zuo Ci to run towards the Yellow Turban Army gathering place above the map, intending to test this character's attack pattern.

The gray-haired old man on the screen limped forward, but his speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed into the crowd of the Yellow Turban Army. Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhao Nuo immediately pressed the normal attack button.

I saw Zuo Ci raise the pale feather fan in his hand, wave it forward gently, and then—

"Boom!"

In the air in front of the old man's body, there was a turbulence of dark blue energy of unknown origin, and at the same time as it made a thunderous noise, the blue vortex directly sucked several unlucky yellow turban soldiers into the other space and disappeared.

“…… That's too fierce, isn't it? ”

Speechlessly looking at the energy vortex that raged on the screen for another ten seconds before disappearing, Zhao Nuo sighed:

- This character's killing of minions turned out to be an instant kill, and with this alone, his strength can explode most of the characters in the game.

At the game's highest difficulty, creeps have very thick health, and they also have skills such as health regeneration and shouting. But under Zuo Ci's second-kill attack mode, no matter what skills he has, it's useless......

Moreover, such a terrifying skill is just a light attack.

The computer-controlled creeps in front did not change because of this. Zuo Ci, who had just killed more than ten people through the whirlpool, was immediately surrounded again.

Then, Zhao Nuo pressed the button for heavy attack.

The gray-haired old man blocked the feather fan in front of him, and then roared in a neutral voice, "Break!" ”

"Boom!"

A silver-white thunderbolt that fell from the clear sky directly hit Zuo Ci's head, but it didn't make him lose a trace of blood, but burst out of a blue and white arc from all around him, directly killing a group of small soldiers surrounding Zuo Ci to slag!

“…… Is this a humanoid EMP? Zhao Nuo couldn't help but complain again.

Even if he hadn't tested the other three yet, from Xiang Yu before and Zuo Ci this time, he felt that he could already summarize the characteristics of the DLC of "Legends of the War of the Three Kingdoms". That is, "Everyone come and play the new character, the new character's combat power can blast the old character out of ten streets." ”

The new characters added in this DLC are too strong in combat power, more than a grade higher than the original generals, look at this Zuo Ci's attack power, he has finished the strongest Lu Bu in the previous game, and has reached the realm of unstoppable.

Although the increased strength of the new characters will help attract some new players who have not played the game before, it is not a good sign for the game as a whole - Zhao Nuo does not want to see the "Legend of the War of the Three Kingdoms", which is still in a state of "a hundred flowers blooming", become a situation where only a few characters have been selected.

"Let's let them weaken a bit." Zhao Nuo said secretly in his heart. R1152
