Build a game empire from scratch

Back home at night, Lin You soaked in the bathtub and lay down comfortably.

Then she put on the headband and was pulled by Xiaomeng into the bathtub of Huayin Bubble Bath.

But this time, Xiaomeng rarely ran over to welcome Lin You immediately, but focused on watching the live broadcast.

Lin You looked up at the screen and found that it was Izumo's female anchor [Nan Dong].

This girl was live broadcasting in Night City. At this moment, she just got off the car outside the door of the killer friend Marcus's house. Holding a gun in one hand, she carefully knocked on the door of Marcus's house with the other hand.

It's just that as soon as she knocked on the door lightly, she found that the door was unlocked, and through the crack of the door, she could see the light inside the room.

"Ah, this..." Lin You instantly understood why Xiaomeng cared so much about the live broadcast.

Judging by the girl's performance, it was obvious that she had just received a call from the big villain Vigo, trying to save her killer friend.

But she was late.

As soon as he entered the room, Nan Dong quickly saw the blood on the floor, followed the blood all the way to the stairs, and then saw Marcus on the stairs, who had fallen on his back and had already lost his voice.

The girl's eyes widened in an instant, and she looked at her friend who had become a corpse in disbelief, with a completely unacceptable expression.

——Just like a small milkshake, if the plot requires it, the corpse will not disappear directly.

And here, it is obviously for the players to witness the tragic death of their friends...

Nandong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly couldn't help crying.

And the more I cried, the more I couldn't help it, and the voice became louder and louder, until I covered my face with my hands, wept bitterly, and kept complaining in my mouth:

"Uncle, how could you just die like this!"

"We were still chatting together just now!"

"Obviously only one friend!"

"Obviously a friend I've known since the very beginning..."

Obviously, the mature and handsome killer uncle Marcus left a deep impression on Nan Dong when he appeared at Helen's funeral at the beginning of the game.

After that, he helped Nandong subdue the female killer Perkins, and the hero rescued the beauty from Vigo's men.

After successfully counterattacking and killing the enemy, they drank and celebrated together by the river. They were strong, handsome, and personable.

But who would have imagined, in the blink of an eye, the killer uncle died so suddenly.

And the death is so miserable...

"unacceptable!"

"How can you do this!"

"I can't accept it!"

...

In the screen, Nandong was crying and complaining, but the barrage in the live broadcast room was divided into two factions. Some people were comforting the anchor, while more people were gloating "hahaha".

Xiaomeng outside the screen also giggled wickedly.

"No! I can't accept it!"

Nandong didn't care that the main story line had been pushed to the end, and was only short of the final battle, so he resolutely deleted the save file and planned to start all over again.

"I must let uncle live!"

Lin You was amazed.

Is this... planning to play "John Wick" as a love game?

The fans in the live broadcast room also suddenly felt that the taste was a bit wrong. They were obviously here to see the girl cry, so why are they about to eat dog food?

And delete the archive in the last step?

Viewers with obsessive-compulsive disorder said: This behavior is heinous! Absolutely unacceptable!

The barrage wailed, trying to persuade Nandong to change his mind:

"No! Quickly withdraw, quickly withdraw, you can restore your save file within half an hour!"

"Finish the main storyline first! After finishing the game, use the experience mode to play the second round. When the time comes, you can play the perfect second round and replace the first round. Be more rational!"

"The woman above is scary."

...

In order to keep Nandong's save file and let her concentrate on fighting the enemy, instead of being full of men, the water friends are also desperate.

All kinds of paid gifts were swiped fiercely. Fortunately, in the last ten minutes, Nandong successfully changed his mind and retrieved the deleted save file.

Then there was a call from the Continental Hotel. Winston gave Vigo's location information as compensation because Perkins attacked the player at the Continental Hotel.

Nandong immediately chased after him, wanting to avenge Marcus.

And Xiaomeng finished watching the excitement, closed the live broadcast room, went to Lin You's side, and handed him a glass of champagne.

In the afternoon, when Lin You was practicing swordsmanship in the virtual world, Xiao Meng appeared in his sight many times holding a large bottle of champagne.

Lin You couldn't bear to let Xiaomeng down, took advantage of the rest time, temporarily interrupted the training, and played a champagne fight with Xiaomeng.

Celebrate Yunmeng's Yangcheng Supercomputing Center, which is Xiaomeng's third house, officially put into operation.

But time was short, so I didn't bother to have a drink.

Now that there is plenty of time, Lin You naturally took a sip of the champagne.

Champagne, with its fresh fruity aroma and refreshing taste, is his favorite flavor.

For the sensory database, Lin You drank six different wines every day for two consecutive weeks.

Each of them is tasted, and most of them don't like it very much... So much so that the wines in the database are not very rich.

Fortunately, he had hired professional people to help him, and he selected the most classic wines, from the cheapest wines commonly seen in street stalls, to the most expensive collection-level wines of various wineries, basically covering all stalls arrive.

The basic needs of making games must be met.

Unless Yunmeng wants to make a bartender game one day, Lin You doesn't plan to add this kind of data.

—Of course, I must be more precise here.

The data for these modern wines are no longer supplemented.

In fact, just a few days ago, he hired several experts to find some people who could make ancient wines, preferably with existing wines in stock.

He still needs to make a large-scale replenishment of the ancient wine data.

It's just that Lin You still doesn't know whether this part of the data can be used.

After all, even if it is an ancient theme game, it is still a game, and the player's experience is more important than the realism of the game.

Especially in the project of [Virtual Chang'an], the Tang Dynasty is based on the Tang Dynasty.

If you really want to go deeper, the wine in the Tang Dynasty was basically fermented wine, with a degree of only 1 to 5 degrees.

Only mellow wine with a relatively high alcohol content after repeated filtration, or sake, can reach about 5 degrees, and if it is turbid wine, it is only about 1 degree.

Li Taibai's Hundred Poems on Fighting Wine, sounds like a mess.

But the alcohol content of a bucket of wine at that time may only be a few bottles of beer now...

It's not an exaggeration.

If players drink this in the game, the reality is real, but the problem is that the game experience may not be very good.

After all, nowadays, it is hard to say how many people can still brew the taste of the past. Even if it is brewed, it is hard to say whether it has a great advantage compared with the current wine.

Therefore, in Lin You's expectation, if the existing wine brewed by the ancient method is found in the end, it is the kind of low-alcohol wine, and even the taste is very ordinary, then at most it will be placed in an ordinary wine shop in Chang'an City.

And those good wines with names and surnames, such as "Pear Blossom Spring", "Osmanthus Wine", "Wuyunjiang", "Stone Dongchun", "Amber Spring", "Chongbi Wine", "Sanchen Wine", " Cui Tao wine"... Wait, wait, you must not be casual.

After all, they are planning to bring out these good names. If you don't take it seriously, and give the players some good things, is that justified?

Anyway, Lin You felt that it was unreasonable.

Especially in Lin You's heart, in the stories of the heroes of the rivers and lakes, there must be no alcohol!

So in [Virtual Chang'an], there are not only [famous swords], but also [famous wines].

Even the importance of [famous wine] must be emphatically expressed.

He is even thinking about whether to add the effect of "improving skill" to the element [wine].

"Drink a sip of Taibai Niang, and your skill will improve a lot" or something...

Or, the whole "Wine Sword Immortal" NPC came out?

Or, add a little fantasy element, give the player a whole gourd of wine, and drink to restore blood?

The better the wine in the gourd, the more blood will be returned?

Or, make the wine gourd into a multifunctional prop, which can restore blood, detoxify, store items, breathe fire, and enchant knives...

While taking a bath and drinking the wine in the glass, Lin You's thoughts raced for a while.
