Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 276 180 is really too difficult!

Chapter 276 180. It’s really too difficult!

Qing Zhiyuan was not in a hurry to return to Tokyo, but stayed in California, the United States, for a few more days.

The main thing is to fulfill the little HR's wish by the way.

This guy has always wanted to come to the United States to have a look. Since he can't work here, it's better to let this guy travel more.

It happened that Qing Zhiyuan needed a tool this time, so he brought Ayase Akane.

I don’t know why, but Neon people seem to have a soft spot for the United States in their bones.

Qing Zhiyuan thought——

This probably comes from the strong character of the Neon nation.

In the past, when China was strong, Neon would learn everything from China. Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism were all learned from China.

Later, when Britain became stronger, they would learn from Britain and carry out the Meiji Restoration.

Then after I was convinced by the United States, I felt that the people in the United States were really awesome and that the United States must be paradise.

In fact, these are the strong characteristics of Neon people, whoever is stronger will follow.

In today's world, the strongest country is the United States.

The only thing better than neon is the United States.

Neon was truly the second most powerful country in the world in 1995, far surpassing Germany in terms of total GDP.

Among them, neon is 5.5 trillion US dollars, and Germany is 2.59 trillion US dollars, only 47.1% of neon.

Unfortunately, Neon, which had no autonomy, threatened the United States and was suppressed. It has been in decline since the 1990s and its economy has stagnated.

This is the tragedy of this country.

…

Although I have fantasized about it countless times, and I have many preconceived impressions about the United States from TV, various media, and word of mouth from my colleagues around me.

But after actual experience, Ayase Akane felt that it was average.

"It doesn't feel very good either."

"Why do I feel that Tokyo is more prosperous? And there are many things that are not only available in Tokyo, but many things that we have in our own country cannot be seen here. It is really strange." Akane Ayase wondered doubtfully.

"California is the second largest state, and Santa Clara is also a good city. Are your requirements too high?"

This is Silicon Valley.

Historically, Santa Clara was an agricultural city, but with the rise of the semiconductor industry in the 1960s, the city gradually transformed from agriculture to high-tech industry.

In fact, it is rare to see large fields now.

It was nothing like the pastoral style of southern America that Qing Zhiyuan had in mind.

"Hmm... How should I put it? It feels like falling in love." Akane Ayase frowned and thought, "Imaginary love always has a dreamy color, just like a rainbow, even when you dream, it will appear pink. Bubbles.

However, once you really fall in love with a man, you will feel that the actual love is quite different from what you imagined.

Well, that's probably what it feels like. "

"Hey, you are also a master of love. Have you ever been in love?" Qing Zhiyuan asked with a smile.

This moment touched the little HR's inverse scale.

Akane Ayase turned around, put her hands on her hips, and looked at Qing Zhiyuan sternly:

"President! I have never been in love before so I can imagine the beauty of love!"

"You, it's just because you have never been in love that you can't imagine how happy it is to be in love!"

"President!!!"

…

Tokyo is prosperous. To a certain extent, it may be because Tokyo itself is an international metropolis. There are people from various countries here and various cultures exchange and gather here.

At the same time, in Qing Zhiyuan's view, Tokyo's large population is also a very important reason for its "prosperity".

The total population of Tokyo is now about 10 million, equivalent to one-tenth of the total population.

Santa Clara, on the other hand, has a population of just over 100,000.

Tokyo covers 2,155 square kilometers.

What about Santa Clara? 3377 square kilometers.

It is half the size of Tokyo, but its population is less than one percent of Tokyo's.

It’s a vast land and sparsely populated in the true sense of the word.

From such a comparison, you can imagine why Tokyo gives people a more prosperous impression.

In Santa Clara, after you leave Silicon Valley, you can drive for a long time without seeing a few people.

Tokyo is crowded with people, especially when night falls, so Tokyo shouldn’t be too hot.

…

Before leaving Tokyo, Qing Zhiyuan received news from Nvidia.

Huang Renxun discussed with the other two partners for 5 days and gave the answer "Agree to pokeni's investment".

In the end, after several rounds of negotiations, they agreed to pokeni's capital injection of US$100 million to obtain 30% of Nvidia's equity.

At the same time, [3D graphics card] was also officially launched.

In fact, Huang Renxun and others have no better choice.

In the past few days, several people have also used their connections to find some acquaintances in the chip industry to ask if any company has invested in developing 3D graphics cards for Nvidia.

Even Huang Renxun found Microsoft boss Bill Gates.

After talking about his ideas, Gates did not agree to give them money to develop the product.

The reason is simple——

"Building such a high-performance 3D graphics card is like using anti-aircraft guns to swat mosquitoes. The input and output are simply not proportional."

Lao Huang felt flushed on the spot.

It was as if I was holding a piece of gold to show to others, but was called Sheite.

Bill Gates doesn't want to invest in Nvidia. Anti-aircraft cannons to kill mosquitoes are just one of the reasons. In fact, the most important thing is that the current Nvidia is really unsightly.

This company is too small. The graphics card it developed after two years of work is very average and cannot compare with other graphics card manufacturers.

Under such circumstances, everyone is afraid that their investment will be wasted.

After combining all the information and trying other efforts to attract sponsorship without selling equity, Huang Renxun and the other two partners finally gritted their teeth:

have to.

No matter how you look at it, pokeni is the best.

Be generous, not only generous with money, but also provide inspiration.

What's more, pokeni is a game company, and the 3D shooting games it produces in the future will definitely set off a wave of 3D craze.

By that time, the world will know——

We are not attacking mosquitoes with anti-aircraft guns.

The most advanced technology must match the most advanced applications, and then you will know how magical it is.

Moreover, if they don’t agree to pokeni, they will invest in competitors.

At that time, it will become a 3D shooting game that matches other people's graphics cards and pokeni.

All things considered, Nvidia has no chance of winning, and it is unrealistic for you to find a game development company to develop a 3D shooting game at this time.

So in the end they agreed to Qing Zhiyuan's proposal.

After this matter was finalized, Qing Zhiyuan was relieved of his worries.

After reaching an agreement, the rest is left to the company's commercial department to handle.

It just so happens that Qing Zhiyuan also has a subsidiary in the United States, and he has experience in going through the process before, so the follow-up processing will be quick.

…

After getting Nvidia done, Qing Zhiyuan returned to Neon with little HR.

Upon returning to the company, Qing Zhiyuan first arranged the tasks, and then summoned the core members of the "Border" project into the conference room.

He told the story again, and then happily patted Ken Akanishi on the shoulder.

"The 3D graphics card is done, and I estimate that we will be able to see what the new graphics card looks like by this time next year.

Try to develop this 3D shooting game in the year after next.

Come on, Mina-san! "

Akanishi Ken couldn't laugh or cry and could only nod.

Good guy, I directly invested in a chip company in order to develop a shooting game. President, do you want to be so cruel?

Can't you let us go?

However, the good news is that all of this depends on the completion of the graphics card, so Akanishi Ken can temporarily stop thinking about this "Border" game in the next one to two years.

…

The good news is that the graphics card is fixed and the game can be developed.

The bad news is that graphics card development will take one to two years, and the game is on hold for now.

So Mikami and Urobuchi Gen's work was freed up.

After Lao Xu was stimulated by Ma Zhizhun last time, he was obsessed with making a big deal during this period. However, he was forcibly dragged by Qing Zhiyuan to work on "Border" midway, so he had no time to think about new projects.

Now that he is finally back on track, Xu Yuan is so happy in his heart.

"Well, what theme should I write about for my next game?"

…

Regarding the new game, Qing Zhiyuan also became anxious.

Whether it makes money or not is secondary, the main thing is that it cannot be left vacant.

Pokeni currently has two games to be released, one is "Pokémon 3D World"

The bug is almost gone now.

It is expected to be released in July this year.

The other one is "Ashes of Eternity" developed by a subsidiary in the United States. Qing Zhiyuan has read the report and actually experienced it. It is indeed a good DND type strategic turn-based meat pigeon game.

It's quite interesting, and the attribute of dog gambling is fully explored, allowing you to enjoy the feeling of infinite increase in dopamine.

An unstoppable dog betting experience.

Qing Zhiyuan is very optimistic about this game and hopes that it will achieve good results in the United States. In the next two months, the company will be warming up for Ashes of Everlasting Mark, hoping that this game will get off to a good start.

As for the projects under research?

It's a bit stretched.

Diablo 3 is under development, but due to the influence of hardware, it will definitely not be able to meet Qing Zhiyuan’s expectations for Diablo 3, so it can only be regarded as a 2.5 evolved version.

Fortunately, this series of games is very stable and is under continuous development. There is no big problem in making it for two to three years.

Then there is the Pokémon series. After "Pokémon 3D World" comes out, it will be able to develop in multiple branches in the future. Some project members will be separated to follow up on future Pokémon 3D products, and some project employees will be separated to follow up on future Pokémon 3D products. We will continue to develop the sequel to Pokémon itself.

This is all traceable and planned.

As for the rest...

No more for now.

The original idea was to develop a 3D shooting game on the computer that did not rely on 3D graphics cards, but now "Border" has been put on hold.

Qing Zhiyuan hopes that Xuan Urobuchi will release "The Witcher 2" as soon as possible.

But this guy seems a bit lacking in inspiration lately.

All we can do is wait a little longer.

As for Ma Zhizhun's side...

Um……

How about making another galgame?

…

Thinking of this, Qing Zhiyuan called Ma Zhizhun into the office.

"President, what can I do?"

"Maeda, it's been a while since the last LL was released. Do you have any new games you want to make?"

"Huh? Well..." Ma Zhijun scratched his head, "Recently, I have been learning game production, playing other competing products and reading books, but I always feel that it is still too difficult to write works that surpass CL and LL. "

Seriously, this time has been so difficult.

Ma Zhizhun was caught in such a difficult situation.

As a script writer, he definitely still wants to write a new game plot, but——

No matter how hard you try, it’s easy to fall into the [family thinking] of CL and LL.

Or I always feel that it is not good enough and cannot surpass the previous works.

With CL and LL Zhuyu in front, the pressure to develop new games is really too much.

This is not only the pressure that Ma Zhizhun puts on himself, but also the pressure that the players put on him.

Precisely because two masterpieces were released last year, players are looking forward to Jun Aseda’s next work. It would be great if the combination of [Tsubaki Fururuhara] + [Jun Aseda] + [Miyazaki Hayao] can be continued.

Under such pressure, poor child Ma Zhizhun would still fall into the nightmare of "constantly coding" at night.

After waking up with fright, I found that my brain was empty, which was even more terrifying.

It is not difficult to develop a masterpiece, but it is difficult to keep developing masterpieces.

Especially with the expectations of players, it is really difficult to constantly surpass.

Ma Zhizhun said it’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I really can’t do it!

…

It's quite difficult.

Qing Zhiyuan frowned and said that it was difficult for him to think about it.

Otherwise, how could your previous life, Ma Zhi, have gone downhill after CL?

However, although the Key Club trilogy and the others have not reached the level of CL, they are still very good.

Now I only have one CL out.

"Go ahead." Qing Zhiyuan said, "Try to write it down first. If you have new ideas, communicate with me in time. The game must continue to be developed."

Maybe Mazi can write "AIR" this time?

Otherwise, "ANGEL BEATS" would be fine too.

In fact, in Qing Zhiyuan's opinion, AB's animation is not bad at all, and it also created a super popular three-no character like Tachibana Kanade, which successfully made Coriander shine.

Moreover, the work itself has a certain depth and meaning. If it is adapted into a game, maybe it can be made more delicate and moving.

"Okay, president."

With the president's encouragement, Ma Zhizhun seemed to have some motivation.

"By the way, President, I see that Wada and Miyazaki are both watching "Legend of the Sword" recently. Can you find any inspiration from it?"

Ma Zhizhun asked curiously, "Or else I..."

"Don't!"

Qing Zhiyuan quickly interrupted him, "You are taking a different path from them, but don't be influenced by "Legend of Sword and Wind". Having Wada is enough. Maeda, your advantage lies in being yourself."

Oh my god!

A Ma Zhijun who draws inspiration from the sword style legend...

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't imagine it at all.

Do you think the knife you issued is not harsh enough?

The Legend of Sword and Wind is only suitable for authors like Lao Xu who are a little sinister, dark, and even a little perverted, right?

Mazi, you still have to yearn for light and warmth.

"And I really need you and Wada to write a game with a different feeling and experience, do you understand?"

"Oh, I see."

Ma Zhi nodded.

But in this way, he became even more curious about "Legend of Sword and Wind".
