Number One Game Designer

Sri Lanka is not a very rich place.

As an island country in the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka's own industry and agriculture are very problematic. Fortunately, it is also one of the top five gemstone producing areas in the world, so it is not too poor.

Another important source of income is tourism. The climate, scenery, and coastline are among the best in Asia.

Sitting on the small sightseeing train from Colombo to Panadura, Fang Xi’s left window is the magnificent coastline, and his right hand is the endless jungle. scene.

Lu Wanqi sat across from Fang Xi, with her head supported on her arm, looking at the coastline, eyes full of fascination.

Fang Xi knocked on the table and summoned Lu Wanqi back from her fantasies about the waves and the skyline.

"What's wrong?" Lu Wanqi asked lazily.

"It's nothing, I just think you look good now." Not wanting to say that he was actually bored, Fang Xi found an excuse to evade it.

"Thank you." Lu Wanqi lowered her head, Fang Xi couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, but she could hear her soft voice.

There was silence for a moment, and the small carriage was silent.

The small train is a common means of transportation in Sri Lanka. For the locals, it does not have the function of viewing the scenery. The carriages are also divided into first-class, second-class and third-class seats. Most domestic tourists choose second-class and third-class seats. Fang Xi didn't have this interest because he had the opportunity to communicate with the locals and appreciate the local culture, so he bought the first-class seat directly, but there were only two people in the entire first-class car.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting awkward, Lu Wanqi raised the topic:

"Have you considered adding this little train into that game of yours?"

Fang Xi knew that she was talking about "Left 4 Survival". It was interesting to think about a train zombie battle like Train to Busan, but after careful consideration, Xia Xi decided to go slowly:

"I haven't made up my mind yet. The material will definitely be included, but you like this feeling now because the scenery here is good. I haven't decided whether to make such a beautiful scenery in the game."

Fang Xi waved his hand in a half circle to indicate the scenery on both sides of the train.

"After all, you also know that the better the scenery, the higher the configuration, but the lower the sales volume is."

Lu Wanqi nodded in agreement, and then looked at Fang Xi with some distress:

"However, I still don't know why you insisted on poaching me to join Hongyi. Now that I have recruited at Haifang University, I have made several plans. I always feel that I have nothing to do in the company now."

Fang Xi knew that what Lu Wanqi said was true feelings. In fact, from the beginning of joining the company, Lu Wanqi's work was complicated rather than difficult. Recently, several new editors were recruited. The project currently being promoted by the company is Three Kingdoms Killing. And the numerical planning of Legendary can be done by just graduated college students. Lu Wanqi, a double-degree student, suddenly has nothing to do. After all, how can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer?

When it comes to the greatest role of numerical planning, Fang Xi thought of a game that swept the world in his previous life, shook his head and said:

"I have very high expectations for you. In fact, I plan to entrust you with a game that may support half of the company's revenue in the future. Do you know about e-sports?"

In this world, Europe and the United States also have a tradition of popular shooting games, so the concept of e-sports is no stranger, Lu Wanqi nodded to express her understanding.

"Take Counter-Strike, which is popular in Europe and America now, as an example. It's a very simple game, but it's also very fun. Have you ever thought about the shortcomings of this game?"

"Shortcomings?" Lu Wanqi was a little confused.

"Well, the parent company of this game still regards this game as a 'stand-alone game'. In fact, I always think this is a very narrow concept. Forget it, this concept is too big. Let's not talk about it for now. I want to say What's more, I like the current concept of e-sports, but I don't think shooting games are very suitable for this.

"

Fang Xi talked eloquently: "Taking traditional sports as an example, the most popular traditional sports should be football and basketball. Why can these two sports beat long-distance running, high jump, ice hockey, baseball, rugby and other sports? I think the most basic thing is to watch. This problem, and shooting games have the same shortcomings as some traditional sports. Its confrontation may be fierce, but its viewing is not good. Whether it is the first perspective or the third perspective, it is difficult to achieve a balance. As a result, the players' blood is boiling with enthusiasm, and ordinary passers-by are stunned."

"A lot can be said about this shortcoming. I just plan to make a game that allows players to team up to fight, the threshold is very low, and it is highly enjoyable."

Lu Wanqi was a little dizzy: "But does such a game exist?"

"It doesn't exist at the moment." Fang Xi smiled, "But it will exist when I make it."

Seeing Fang Xi's smile, Lu Wanqi was dazzled for a while... What a ghost! The words just now must have been made up on the spot!

Seeing Lu Wanqi's expression of disbelief, Fang Xi said helplessly:

"Believe it or not, anyway, we will definitely do the online competitive game I mentioned, and you are not allowed to refuse when the time comes."

Lu Wanqi nodded: "If it's really done, I'm too happy."

After looking at the scenery for a while, Lu Wanqi started talking again:

"Hey, what you said before that you have been here, is it true?"

Fang Xi cast a glance: "You see I'm so proficient, do you really mean it?"

Lu Wanqi changed her arm to support her head with a thoughtful face:

"But your resume is too simple. You are basically in school during the summer vacation from your freshman to your junior year. During the winter vacation, you will rush home and then continue to go back to school. Even now you are still a senior student in theory, and you will have another three months I just graduated. How can I find the time to play here?"

Fang Xi narrowed his eyes: "Are you investigating me?"

Lu Wanqi shook her head: "I just want to get to know you better. I met your counselor at the job fair and had a chat. Your college experience can be called lackluster. Your counselor basically talked about everything."

"Know me better?" Fang Xi was a little puzzled.

"Yeah, actually, haven't you discovered the many mysteries about you?" Lu Wanqi simply put her arms on the table and looked out at the churning waves.

"On the one hand, you are just a student. On the other hand, you are already a boss who has earned tens of millions. Let alone a student, many people in their 30s can only feel ashamed."

"I made two games in half a year, none of which was simple. "Killing the Planet" has aroused great academic repercussions, and "Swallowing Heaven and Earth" will not be mentioned."

"You don't live extravagantly. At least you haven't seen buying a sports car or a villa. But at the same time, you are extremely generous to your employees. Now Hongyi is only a medium-sized company, but its welfare conditions are similar to those of old well-known large companies."

"So I'd love to check you out."

Looking at Lu Wanqi lying in front of him, Fang Xi's heart moved, and he reached out and touched Lu Wanqi's head:

"What's the point of exploring this?"

"I'm just a genius."
