"Okay, I got it. I'll have my staff sort this out in the near future. Go back. ”

"Okay, Professor Graves. Goodbye, Professor! ”

When Hermione, who was at the end, closed the door, Rick began to think back to the cause and context of the whole thing.

It all started a few months ago, after the Pandora 2.0 console was developed by the Spotted Games studio Cod. In order to allow players to adapt to the new functions of the Magic Net system, the globalization of the Magic Net system is realized.

Rick deliberately updated the new version of "The Witcher is Coming" online, adding two modes that require the Demon King system to play, the online mode and the S1 season.

Online mode, as the name suggests, means that multiple players can use multiple Pandora 2.0 consoles under the Magic Net system, and they can play in different regions. Make new friends from different regions at the same time.

The S1 season mode is a competitive ranking game mode. It is a mode specially launched by Rick to encourage players to play more games. With generous rewards, stimulate the vanity of players and make them spend more time on the game.

And the problem that Harry and others reported to him about players asking friends to be actors to cheat is out of the S1 season mode.

Some people find that their rankings can't go up for a long time, and they start to think crookedly. Find some friends to join in the game queue and enter a game room at the same time.

Because The Witcher is Coming doesn't have more than 10,000 players worldwide, it's easy for them to enter the same game at the same time.

As long as it is confirmed that in a game, these actors will give a player more points in order to win. Started a negative game, or even broke the rules of the game, betrayed his teammates for that player, and blatantly cheated.

This behavior seriously affects the gaming experience of other players and disrupts the balance of the game.

Because The Witcher is coming is a game that doesn't have servers like those online games in the Muggle world. On Rick's side, each Pandora console loaded with The Witcher is Coming game crystals is a separate server.

Therefore, Rick did not set up an online game supervision department in his company, and there were no employees to check the battle information of each game.

Now the S1 season invites actors to play match-fixing to improve the point ranking, which is caused by Rick's poor consideration and lax supervision within the game.

"It seems that I have to work overtime today to make a player reporting system and an account ban system, so that those who don't play the game well will be punished."

Rickmore clung his wand, he stood up and walked to the window, looking through the glass at the mist-shrouded crescent. A decision that defied his routine was born.

"We also need to add a recording system to the game, and at the beginning of each game, the game is recorded by the Pandora console. When someone reports it, the Demon King system automatically uploads the game to the headquarters of the Spot Game Studio, so that the full-time staff can review it, and if it is found that the person being reported is cheating.

Then, according to the ban system, the player will be notified that you have cheated or asked the actor to be reported. Because the first time you are reported, you will be deducted 1000 points. If you continue to break the rules of the game, your Ranked Play mode will be closed if discovered.

Well, that's pretty much it. ”

After imagining how to eliminate these players, they will not play according to the rules of the game in the qualifying round.

Rick went to the hanger and took off his coat that hung on it. After putting on his coat and fur hat, Rick walked out of the Defence Against the Dark Arts office and headed for his break room.

The overtime life of a programmer is about to begin.

......

Two days later, on a train to King's Railway Station, Rick, sitting in a soft chair in a private room, was reading a newspaper carefully.

Across from him, two Gryffindor first-year wizards looked nervously at Rick, moving his body from side to side, rubbing his hands together and rubbing them around.

Crash!

Rick closed the newspaper in his hand and looked up at Ginny and Colin sitting across from him.

Ginny and Colin panicked at Professor Graves, and they sat up straight, trying to maintain a calm expression.

"What do you two say about the first draft of this newspaper...."

Rick's words instantly filled the two of them with tension, and Colin, who was a little less in the mood, pinched the thumb of the other hand with one hand, and the temples were already covered with fine beads of sweat.

"Let's talk about the advantages first, your typography is very good, and I was surprised. Unexpectedly, the newspaper made by the first-year students reached the level of the Prophet's Daily newspaper in terms of layout. First of all, I have to praise you. ”

Rick smiled at the nervous two in front of him. Half a month ago, Ginny approached him and told him that she wanted to start a newspaper at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, providing students with their own newspaper.

She wanted Rick to be his advisor and, if she could, an investor and mentor to the newspaper. In this way, her newspaper can justifiably sell newspapers in the school.

At that time, Rick was shocked by Ginny's bold idea, he didn't expect Ginny, who was a Weasley family, to have such business acumen, but could she really run the newspaper by herself, Rick expressed doubts.

But seeing Ginny's very determined eyes, Rick pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement to her request.

However, he also made a condition for Ginny to prepare the first newspaper for him to review within a month.

If he meets the criteria, Rick agrees to become an investor in her newspaper.

He didn't expect Ginny to be able to come up with the first draft within half a month, which surprised him very much.

"Thank you, Professor Graves. I consulted Luna Lovegood, a student at Ravenclaw College, about this typesetting. His father, Xenophilius Lovegood, was the editor-in-chief of the Contrarian Voice. Luna taught me a lot about newspaper layout, such as how many areas a newspaper is divided into, what content is suitable for each area, and so on. ”

Hearing Rick praise his newspaper for its excellent typography, Ginny's hanging heart finally fell halfway.

I heard about Ginny's newspaper layout because of Luna's help. Rick nodded and continued. "The handwriting is neat, which is a good job. There are also photos of Creevey's classmates, whether it is from the shooting angle and the control of the artistic conception, they are also qualified. If you've been practicing your photography skills, in a few years, you'll be on par with professional photographers. ”
