Chapter 60: Akatsuki Wind and Frost
The Red Spider Web Café at 7 o'clock in the evening is the time to serve customers. As soon as I entered the Internet café, I looked for Ma George's figure, and found that he was shuttling through the rows of cameras in the Internet café......
It's so busy flying.
Lu Yuan said hello to Ma George, asked him to be busy for a while, and then went to the front desk to open a machine first.
After about half an hour, Ma George was a little free, and he greeted the other network administrators on the night shift, asking them to help him keep an eye on him for a while, and then ran to Lu Yuan's seat.
"Brother Yuan, I've been waiting for a long time."
As he spoke, Ma George seemed to be juggling, with multiple bottles of iced tea in his hand, resting firmly next to Lu Yuan's computer, and said with a smile, "Please drink!" ”
"Thank you."
Lu Yuan twisted away the iced tea and drank two sips, then asked, "How is the plug-in written?" ”
"I usually write for a while at night when there are no guests. In the past few days, I have written a basic function, I think you didn't come, and I want to continue to optimize it. Ma George said.
"Can you watch it now?"
"Yes, you wait."
As he spoke, Ma George took out the USB flash drive from his trouser pocket, entered the computer host, read a program from the USB flash drive, double-clicked to open it, and then minimized.
Ma George asked, "Brother Yuan, simply operate the legend, no problem, right?" ”
"Although I haven't played for a long time, my hands are a little raw, but there should be no problem." Lu Yuan replied.
"That's OK, just know the basics." Ma George expertly clicked on the legendary icon on the computer desktop.
Then, Ma George logged into his legendary account, but put the headphones on Lu Yuan.
Soon, the sound of legendary and desolate music came from Lu Yuan's headphones, and a thick and simple stone door on the screen slowly opened, and it had entered the character interface of Ma George's account.
The character Ma George plays is a mage, and his level is much higher than Lu Yuan's little Taoist, and he is already level twenty-four. The map is also different, as soon as you go online, you are in a cave, surrounded by zombie monsters walking around aimlessly.
"Is this a mine?" Lu Yuan asked.
Although he has never been to this map, he still has a basic understanding of legends.
"Yes, when you turn around, your Taoist priest has recruited a baby, so you can come here to upgrade early."
Ma George smiled and said, "Brother Yuan, if you take a closer look, can you see the difference." I can see that I will pack you a month's point card, and I will take you to brush zombies together, and there is a large number with a lot faster than you can upgrade by yourself. ”
"Cut, you're so generous! I go to work every day, how many points can I play in a month? ”
Lu Yuan rolled his eyes and said so, but his eyes had already begun to look at the game screen in front of him.
Soon, he noticed something different, and was amazed, "Your mage didn't take a candle?" ”
Although Lu Yuan doesn't play legends much, he still did his homework on the Internet at home last night, he searched for guides on the forum, and he also familiarized himself with the map. So he knows that the legend has a day and night system, at night, foggy weather, and in indoor maps like caves, the character must hold a candle, otherwise he can only see a small area around him, and the rest of the large field of view on the screen is black, and it is easy to be attacked by other players or ranged monsters.
But now, it seems that this rule has lost its effect on Ma George's mage, who is not equipped with candles, but in the mine it is like daylight, and the large field of view of the entire screen can be seen clearly.
"Okay, you see! What do you think? Awesome, right? ”
As soon as Ma George talked about the game and the plug-in, he immediately became energetic, and showed off to Lu Yuan with his eyebrows, "Yesterday, I met a level twenty-eighth-level mage, robbed me of the boss, and even turned on the lightning to me, and then I ran out of his field of vision and directly killed him with thunder and lightning." ”
"Then you used the U disk to read the double-clicked program just now, that is, you wrote a plug-in?" Lu Yuan sighed in admiration, "Okay, this auxiliary is awesome." ”
"Haha, I call it wax-free, candle-free. If you look at it again, what's different? ”
"And what? I'll see. ”
Lu Yuan listened with even more interest, after all, the wax-free function had already surprised him. He's looking forward to this plug-in even more.
Once again, he was manipulating the game character while carefully examining the game interface. After a while, he found that on the operation screen, there were dense green blood bars, each blood bar corresponded to a monster, and the number "XX/XX" was also displayed on the blood bar. He remembered that when he used to play, only when he clicked the mouse on a monster, the health bar would appear on the top of the monster's head, and there was only an approximate percentage, and the specific value would not be displayed at all.
It's a very small change, and it looks simple, as if it doesn't help the player much in the game. But for some advanced players, it's different. With this function of accurately displaying the values of the red and blue bars, you can hold the whole picture and accurately distribute MP to each mana, striving to use the least MP to deal the most damage to monsters. This kind of function is definitely a weapon for high-end legendary players.
"You kid can! You have thought of the needs of ordinary users and master users, and your current style of play is at least one-third less than others, right? Lu Yuan asked.
"No, it's close to half, I've counted!" Ma George said proudly, "The main thing is that the terrain of this mine is good. ”
"Cow! Now it seems that we are more confident that players will pay for it. ”
"How do you sell it?"
When Ma George heard this, he said excitedly, "Brother Yuan, how to sell it, how much to sell, I will point to you." I can only program and write code. ”
"That's what I planned, you listen to it first."
Lu Yuan parked the game character in the safe zone, then took off the headphones, and said to Ma George, "Sell something, of course, where the buyer is, let's sell it." For example, you can spread the plug-in message in the safe zone first. Don't be in a hurry to sell money, first free for a while, let everyone try to play, let them taste the benefits and convenience of plug-ins, and then are you afraid that they won't pay? ”
"That's right, it's the same as tasting in the supermarket before buying. It's still Brother Yuan's brain! ”
Ma George slapped his face excitedly and said with a smile, "Don't talk about the full server of Legend, even if we eat the plug-in business in one of the Legend districts, it is estimated that we will all make a windfall!" ”
"What's so hard about eating the whole suit? When the fame of the plug-in starts, you can also do a distribution or something, the plate is so big that one person can't finish it, there will always be someone who wants a piece of the pie, right? When the time comes, let those people shout for you, and you can just sit back and wait for the money to be collected. However, you still have to continue to optimize and make the best plugin to make players willing to pay for it. Lu Yuan thought about it and proposed a further marketing strategy.
"Okay, listen to you!"
Ma George's face was red with excitement, in fact, his desire for money was far less intense than Lu Yuan's, what he cared more about and longed for was that the programming skills he had studied by himself for many years could be put to use, and the plug-ins he wrote could be welcomed by players, and eventually he could be exchanged for money to improve his life.
"Okay, then I'll hurry up and continue to optimize."
After the excitement, he regained his composure and continued to ask Lu Yuandao: "Brother Yuan, do you have any good suggestions for the first experience of this plug-in?" ”
"Well, the game of legends, I haven't played it as long as you, and I don't know as much as you."
Lu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "But I suggest that you start from the aspect of game experience, the player is God, you make them comfortable and happy, won't they be happy when they give money?" ”
"Gameplay?" Ma George didn't expect that he could write a game plug-in that could also be associated with the game experience, and at this moment, he felt that he was one step closer to his dream.
After all, being able to really enter a game company and engage in game programming is the driving force behind his self-taught programming.
"Yes, it's the game experience, like your wax-free function, I think it's well designed!"
Lu Yuan proposed, "I think the blood vial seems to be a bit troublesome, every time I finish drinking, I have to put it in the shortcut bar by myself, if there is no medicine when I fight monsters, then I can only wait for death?" ”
"Makes sense, makes sense."
Ma George's head nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and after Lu Yuan's click, his thinking also broadened, "We can also design automatic medicine purchase, automatic unpacking of medicine package, and automatic drinking of medicine ...... residual blood."
"Hehe, you kid is on the medicine bar?"
"No, no, no, I think the concept of automatics is good, how can I forget it. I'm not going to fix it in the submarine game! “
Ma George raised his hand and patted his head, with a light in his eyes, "When I did wax-free before, I also studied the legendary program, I think as long as I adjust it slightly, it should be no problem to learn a stand-alone game to make a plug-in for variable speed gear and a plug-in for adjusting the value, when the time comes, double the speed, double the magic attack, it's cool to think ......about it."
"Stop!"
Seeing that the more he talked, the more excited he became, Lu Yuan hurriedly stopped him, "What you just said is enough to automatically fight monsters and pick up things automatically!" The latter two can't be done! ”
"Why?" Ma George's mind opened, and all kinds of whimsical ideas were on the rise, but he was suddenly interrupted and looked at Lu Yuan with some puzzlement.
"We do plug-ins to make everyone's game experience better, and in this process, we use some small means to do some small drawbacks to improve the user's experience value. But if you make the acceleration and double attack, then the basic fun of playing the game is gone, just to win? Lu Yuan commented from the perspective of a basic player.
"However, if we don't do it, sooner or later someone else will do it!" Ma George said.
"Others are others, we are us."
Lu Yuan paused slightly, and Zhengse said, "George, we talk about auxiliary programs, but in the final analysis, they are still plug-ins. Since it's a plug-in, it's officially not allowed. But plug-ins do have their market, so let's play the side ball and make a small fuss, which is harmless. But you're clearly going big, and once the game company notices you, and something happens at that time, then we will lose more than we gain. ”
"Uh, how did I forget about this stubble?"
Ma George was shocked by Lu Yuan's words, and suddenly came back to his senses, patted his head with self-reproach, and said, "Done!" Listen to Brother Yuan, don't double the speed, double the attack on these big bugs, and keep the auxiliary functions of automatic medicine drinking and automatic monster pick-up. ”
Lu Yuan snorted, and said: "Since the plug-in was written by you, and we want to sell it again, then there must be a loud name, can you think of one?" ”
"The latest version of the legend, the ultimate monster is called the Akatsuki Demon? I heard that until now, no guild has been defeated. ”
Ma George thought for a while and said, "It's better for us to plug in, let's call it Akatsuki Wind and Frost!" ”
"Akatsuki Wind and Frost?"
Lu Yuan took a closer look and said, "The journey of wind and frost that I went through in order to conquer the Red Moon Demon, does that mean?" ”
"Well, that's what I meant!" Ma George smiled: "Brother Yuan, you know me!" ”
Lu Yuan also felt that this name was quite exciting, so he nodded and said, "I think it's okay, it's called Red Moon Wind and Frost!" ”
The first legendary plug-in in China, maybe it has been developed elsewhere a long time ago, but the plug-in belongs to the game BUG, and no one promotes it. But if nothing else, the legendary plug-in with the most complete functions in China should be born in the small Red Spider Web Bar. Its name is - Akatsuki Wind and Frost.
