Chess and cards, one of the oldest games ever played by mankind.

In a broad sense, chess and cards include poker, mahjong, chess, Go, etc., and there are different game variants such as twenty seventy and twisting in different places.

This kind of game usually has simple rules and is easy to play, for example, the rules of mahjong can be summarized in one sentence: "AAA*n+ABC*m+DD" can be won, where n and m can be 0. Special rules can be supplemented a little more.

Because the rules are simple, it is easy to popularize, and the cards of the previous physical game are not expensive, and several people can play the game by putting together a deck of cards.

The favorite activity of Rongcheng people is to find a sunny weekend, a group of people gather by the river to play mahjong, and the afternoon can be spent comfortably.

However, compared with other game methods, chess and cards have this high-end game demand: friends.

And the effect of chess and cards is really not gorgeous enough, so in modern times, the entertainment effect of chess and cards has gradually been replaced by games, and a new generation of young people have begun to use mobile phones to start games, which makes chess and cards slowly decline, becoming a traditional and even gambling industry hotbed.

If it does not provide emotional value to today's young people, and at the same time it is a new place to breed crime, then it is normal for chess and cards to be banned.

After reading the information that could be found, Huang Ping began to think about the boss's intention of asking.

"Please Inside" has entered a period of free development for players, and the content in the game can be played for a long time, and now there is basically no need to invest more manpower and resources in it.

Judging from the current situation, players have spontaneously developed PVP gameplay and exploration gameplay, and players who fail can join other players' countries and continue their own exploration and research.

It is estimated that it will not be long before players will be able to unify the entire game world and establish a new order in this free and dilapidated world.

Under this premise, Fang Cheng proposed to develop new games, which is also a normal idea for the manager of a studio.

But chess and cards......

Biting the pencil and looking at the information he had found, Huang Ping once again felt a little tricky.

If it is an ordinary person who wants to enter the field of chess and cards, then Huang Ping will definitely state the power of it and let the other party dispel this idea.

After all, chess and cards are no longer the Red Sea, it is the Dead Sea.

But if it's the boss, he just keeps looking forward to seeing the boss dig up new treasures in the place where he steps into the grave with half a foot.

But it's not chess......

Tilting his head to think, Huang Ping felt that his brain was not enough.

There was no way, he came to the pantry with a coffee cup, nodded and greeted Leon who was drinking coffee here, and then took himself a cup of tea and drank it.

Using tea to sober himself up a little, he said with a wry smile: "The boss is really going to cause trouble." ”

"But you look pretty happy." Leon scooped a sweet tofu brain, "Although you say it is a little troublesome, you look quite happy." ”

"Huh, is there one?"

"Yes, I understand this special culture, and it's a special way to show off by complaining to others that you're actually valued by your boss. Although I don't understand, I respect. ”

Looking at the serious Lyon, Huang Ping found that foreign friends really didn't know what it meant to be subtle and what it meant to see through without saying it.

Scratching his head in embarrassment, he said to Leon: "Indeed, I am indeed a little happy, after all, it is such a rare task The boss does not look for others, why do you have to look for me." It's a sign of trust in me. ”

"You just happen to be the first person he sees."

“…… Comrade Leon, you are actually a good person, why do you have a mouth? ”

"Maybe it's because my genes are normal, and the world needs me to say something."

Although he is not very satisfied with Leon's attitude, Huang Ping knows that Leon's game strength is good, and he is a foreign friend, so he should have a different game opinion from himself.

So, he sat down in front of Leon, straightened his attitude and said: "So Comrade Leon, I have encountered a problem, and I feel that I am not very easy to solve, can I listen to your opinion?" ”

Leon put down his utensils, looked at Huang Ping and said, "It just so happens that I also have a problem of my own, can I get your help?" ”

"So, swap it?"

"Yes. Then I'll come first. ”

After looking at the door and confirming that Fang Cheng was not there, Leon lowered his voice and said, "Didn't I work overtime at home a few days ago, and then I was discovered?" After that, I was forced to take a few days off with pay, do you have any impressions? ”

"Yes, we laughed at you for a long time." Huang Ping lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, there is no malice, it's just that our quality is relatively low." ”

"Huang Ping, why do you have a mouth?" Leon said dissatisfied, "My problem is that I'm pretty sure you're working overtime too, and it's a secret that you know. Don't ask me how I know, you can tell from the state of your work. I want to know how you did it. ”

Huang Ping squinted at Leon, and the other party also gave Huang Ping a sincere look.

Half a minute later, Huang Ping silently wrote down an address and pushed it to Leon.

"Write it down, don't leave it, tear it up directly after reading it. Come here after work this Friday. We'll leave the door for you in advance. ”

Eager to take the note, Leon seemed to have received God's will, and quickly wrote down the contents of the note.

For the next few days, he lived like a year, anxiously waiting for Friday every day.

Moreover, he looked at Huang Ping with more cordial eyes, they had a common secret, they were partners on the same front.

Finally, on Friday, he immediately left the studio and waited outside for half an hour before arriving at the designated location.

This is a not-so-obvious community, and the security guard at the door seems to be dozing off, but when Leon passes by, the other party narrows his eyes, making Leon feel that this uncle is not simple.

Of course, it could also be because Leon is now dominated by a middle two mood, which makes him feel like he is playing a stealth spy game himself.

Through this feeling, everything around him takes on a different meaning, and the exotic scenery magnifies this strange feeling, which makes Leon want to stop.

Seeing Leon passing by, the uncle raised his cap, looked at Leon and said, "What's your name?" Where are you going to？ ”

“…… Uncle, I can speak Chinese. ”

"Then you didn't say it earlier! Where to go, sign it! ”

Leaving his name, Leon walked into the door of the community, and looked back to see that the uncle had continued to lean back on the chair and dozed off.

Recalling the uncle's British English, which made him feel ashamed, Leon felt that this uncle was really not simple.

According to the content of his memory, Leon walked wrongly, and after walking through a twisted path, he finally reached his destination.

This is a very ordinary community apartment, and there is nothing unusual at the door, but you can faintly hear the cheers inside.

The voice was so joyous that it was like the gods were partying, and it was as if the Valhalla spirits were drinking wine.

Just hearing this voice, Leon felt like he was in the right place.

There was a soft knock on the door, and he heard the sound behind the door stop abruptly.

When someone walked behind the door, Leon could even hear the other person's breathing behind the door, and the small door seemed to become a moat separating each other, making Leon nervous.

He felt that he was approaching a secret, a secret that the studio employees had collectively hidden, and that it was so important that the studio staff even needed to maintain it in this secret society.

A few minutes, or even a few hours, just when Leon felt that he had been forgotten, he saw the door opened, Huang Ping appeared in the doorway, looked at Leon who was trembling with excitement and asked, "Why are you shaking like this?" ”

"I've got a lot of imagination." Leon said intoxicated.

"What is the imagination about? The habits of you Beimi people are really weird. ”

When Leon was invited into the room by Huang Ping, he immediately began to observe the place.

On the outside, it's just an ordinary apartment, but on the inside it's a large gaming base.

From arcade to the lesser-known VRbox, from the Atari series to the latest gaming warehouse, there are a wide range of gaming peripherals here, including some lesser-known consoles, and some of the devices Lyon has only heard of the name, but has never seen the actual thing.

Except for Huang Ping, all the male planners of Fangcheng Studio are here.

Everyone was lazily lying on their own lazy sofas, playing the games they were interested in, and from time to time they exchanged ideas because of some of the game's settings.

The games are unlimited, the snacks are enough, this is the paradise that game fans dream of, the kind that can't leave when you come in.

In particular, Leon's attention was a large game display case, in which he saw a variety of peculiar game collections, covering almost the entire history of the game.

Glancing over the collections, Leon became more and more excited the more he looked at them.

"Wow, there is even "Resident Future" on Mars here, the number of sales of this game is 300,000, but it was urgently recalled because the game had a major accident, and then there was no news at all because the game console was discontinued. I didn't expect to see this work in this place. ”

Picking up a game CD, Leon looked at the cover of the game and said with emotion.

Xiao Douzi, who was playing a game in front of the console, raised his head, looked at Leon and nodded: "Are you quite knowledgeable, it took me a lot of time to find this game, and finally found it in a large second-hand market in Beimi." The other party offered 13,000 US dollars at that time. ”

Hearing this number, Leon's eyes widened, and he shouted, "So ignorant! You've made a lot of money! ”

Xiaodouzi nodded appreciatively: "You really know the goods, so I bought this game at that time." Come here, I've got a better one here. ”

Leon swallowed excitedly and asked excitedly, "What, is it a new game?" ”

"It's more exciting than a new game, and it can make you more knowledgeable. And I won't let people go to that place easily, you can see it the first time you come to my house, and you're lucky. ”

"This is your house, then your house is quite big."

"I still think it's small, and a lot of game consoles can't fit in. Come on, come on, I'll show you more exciting. ”

Seeing the two of them walk into the bedroom, the monkey looked at Huang Ping and asked suspiciously: "Weaving straw shoes, I feel that the atmosphere between them is not quite right." ”

"Don't think so much about children, they will have needle eyes."

Two hours later, when Leon came out of it, he was in a trance.

Eating the pizza ordered by Xiao Douzi, he muttered to himself, "Exciting, really exciting." Little Bean, can I call you a game immortal? ”

"Don't be, the boss is still alive." Xiaodouzi said shyly.

"That's right, but I really didn't expect you to have such an exciting game, just by seeing the cover of the game, I feel like I can pass away successfully."

Staring at the two, the monkey tugged at the corner of Huang Ping's clothes and whispered, "Big brother, they really have a problem." Has game planning been like this for a long time? ”

"This is a special case, normally it will be similar to the living dead, and it will be disgusting to see the game."

After eating the pizza, Leon finally remembered what he had come here for.

Lying on the couch for him, Leon asked, "So, this is where you secretly work overtime?" ”

"Shh Huang Ping immediately said, "We're not working overtime, we're on a game night, a group of like-minded people go to a friend's house to play games after work, this kind of thing is normal, right?" ”

Pinching his chin and thinking for a moment, Leon nodded: "It's very normal." ”

"It's not uncommon to accidentally end up all night while playing a game, right?"

"It's as common as thunder and rain."

"In the process of playing the game, everyone accidentally starts to discuss the game, this kind of thing is common."

Leon also came back to his senses at this time, nodded and said, "It's really quite common." ”

"And we're not documenting, so we're not working overtime. It's normal to put this thing anywhere, no problem, right? ”

"No problem. But I don't know a question, does it make sense for us to do this? ”

"Yes." Huang Ping nodded seriously, "The boss's sense of smell is very sensitive, and he often knows at a glance whether we are working overtime." But if this method is used, then the boss will at most let us play the game not too late, and will not say anything else. Therefore, this process is a must, you know? ”

"Don't worry, I understand." Leon nodded excitedly.

Here, he finally had the feeling of finding the organization, and at the same time, he also knew the secret of Huang Ping's efficiency.

A wonderful overtime life, I'm coming.

And it turns out that it's really cool to work overtime here.

Huang Ping gave him the tickets here, and he also began to respond to Huang Ping's questions, after knowing that Fang Cheng wanted to have "chess and cards that are not chess and cards", they played chess and card games on the market over and over again, while thinking about Fang Cheng's true intentions.

One plan after another was proposed as they played the game, and then they were constantly rejected.

They exchanged their opinions and shared each other's experiences, and a large number of proposals were proposed by them, and finally a variety of different solutions were formed.
