Play Game of Life

With the reward of 500 points, plus the gains from the previous performance, the points in Lu Zhixing's hands have reached 1372 points.

Compared to him who was struggling before, he was indeed a lot richer.

But that's all. After all, those large-scale templates that can be directly used to make a game often cost tens of thousands of points when collecting materials, and more than 1,000 points are still not enough.

Up to now, Lu Zhixing has roughly figured out the rules of the role-playing game in life: Generally speaking, it is the most cost-effective to complete the role-playing tasks seriously.

Corresponding materials can be obtained for each role-playing task, which is much cheaper than buying directly with points. Moreover, there will be special additional rewards after completing the three role-playing missions.

As for the points obtained during the process, they are mainly used to purchase various bits and pieces of leftover materials to ensure that the game can be produced smoothly.

He looked at the material he got this time: a simple gameplay template.

As the name suggests, this template is a large collection of some simple gameplay in the game.

For example, the collection gameplay allows players to collect some specific props and hand them over to specific characters or locations, and the transport gameplay allows players to move something to a special area and so on.

The entire collection contains dozens of different ways to play, but one thing in common is that they are all very simple.

Even if specialized programmers are invited to make these gameplays in the editor, the development cost of a single gameplay will not be too high.

But for Lu Zhixing, this is still very cost-effective, after all, the template contains a lot of basic gameplay, and there will never be any bugs.

"Yes, in this way, another piece of the puzzle of "Ordinary Life" is ready."

In this game, Lu Zhixing has designed a lot of working methods, such as moving bricks, which is to reproduce the process of moving bricks in reality as much as possible.

With this template, he can classify these gameplays and correspond to different working methods in reality, and quickly complete the production of relevant content.

Of course, in addition to this, there is the most important gain: unlimited material collection for one hour.

But Lu Zhixing will definitely not use it now, he is too tired and not in good condition.

It's best to collect all the materials that need to be collected in one breath after recharging your energy.

...

After 9 o'clock in the evening, Qian Ziqiang finally got off work.

Lu Zhixing found a barbecue stall nearby, and invited him to have a late-night snack. By the way, he interviewed the workers about these ways, and used them as materials for making games.

Under the influence of skewers and beer, Qian Ziqiang quickly opened up the chatterbox and began to introduce his work experience over the years.

Not to mention, it's really rich, moving bricks on construction sites, delivering food, delivering couriers, real estate agencies, factory assembly lines... He has done all these jobs.

Lu Zhixing listened carefully, taking notes from time to time.

"Move bricks, take out, deliver, intermediary, enter the factory.

"These five types of work, the number of people engaged in our country should be quite large, but they are also the most difficult. After all, there are no thresholds. People like me came out to work very early, and they basically worked in these few jobs in the early years. Mix in the industry.

"The real estate agency is similar to insurance and medical beauty. They are all sales. It seems that the upper limit is very high. I always hear that some people can earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a month, but for most people, even It’s hard to get a dead salary. Besides, if you really want to make money in this kind of industry, you have to be cheated to some extent. Of course, it’s not the kind of crime.

"If you want to talk about food delivery, there are two words: high pressure! This thing is tiring, but it's not tiring, but the pressure is really too much. During the peak period, the system keeps sending you orders. Why don't many takeaways comply? Running a red light according to traffic regulations? That is indeed forced by the system.

"Sending an order is at most five or six yuan, but a bad review will cost more than 100 yuan. This platform treats you like a beast, and it doesn't matter whether you can complete the order or not. It's hard anyway. Forgive me, if you get a bad review after the timeout, you will be deducted money, forcing you to argue with customers.

"So I stopped doing it later. I was tired, not to mention tired, but I was very anxious and under too much mental pressure.

"If you want to talk about the most comfortable job, it is the electronics factory. The work of the electronics factory is really simple. One stop on the assembly line, you only do one thing, such as sorting a screw, and sorting for a whole day. As long as you have hands.

"But the basic salary of this thing is too low. If you want to earn a little more, you can only rely on overtime on holidays and endless overtime. Moreover, the electronics factory is really exhausting. Delivering express delivery and food delivery can still deal with people anyway. Two sentences, no matter how bad they are, can also exercise the ability of interpersonal communication.

"But what about the electronics factory? It's really like a machine, and it will be useless after a long time.

"As for the construction site, how should I put it, it's relatively simple, it's pure physical labor, and it's okay to earn money, and it's not as boring as an electronics factory, but it's tiring, dangerous, and the environment is too dirty, and it's hard for young people to adapt to it.

"Delivery is annoying. There are countless troubles every day. Delivering express for one or two years can finish your phone calls for the next ten years in advance. Anyway, people ask you about express delivery every day. You have to ask them one by one. Confirm and reply one by one.

"I don't make a lot of money delivering express delivery. It costs 60 cents per package. I deliver 150 to 200 packages a day on average, and I get more than 2,000 yuan a month. But those who work in a region for a long time like us mainly rely on You can make money by collecting parcels, and you can earn three to five yuan or ten yuan by sending a courier. If you are lucky, you can earn thousands or tens of thousands of yuan if you are busy for a month.

"So after changing so many jobs, I finally chose to deliver express delivery.

"Hey, anyway, in the final analysis, if there is a way, I don't recommend doing these jobs. The hard work is second, and the key is that there is nothing to rush.

"College students like you, just take a career test, become a teacher, what can you do better than our job?

"Isn't it because it's too difficult for ordinary people to find a job that is a little more reliable?"

Qian Ziqiang opened up the conversation box, telling the whole story of his work experience in these years.

There are many ways here, if you haven't done it yourself for a while, you really don't know.

Lu Zhixing listened and memorized, feeling that he had benefited a lot.

In fact, Lu Zhixing had thought over and over again before, some games in his previous life that reflected the life of playing workers, why were players complaining about them?

It's not that this game mode is not fun, the game mode is okay.

This game mode combines the elements of simulated management and survival, as well as the buff bonus that reflects real life, which is completely sufficient for its own success.

The key reason why these games are complained about is that they obviously want to simulate reality, but they lack some details, which makes them not so real.

For example, as a migrant worker, if the body is slightly dirty, the psychological pressure will increase, and then the mental breakdown will be sent.

How can a real worker be so hypocritical, let alone a worker, even those students who repeat their studies in the factory for the college entrance examination, all kinds of psychological endurance are also very strong. A shower, that's all routine.

For another example, there are subtle differences between different types of work.

When some worker games shape food delivery, express delivery, brick moving, electronics factory, etc., they often only shape different gameplays. It is pure transportation and so on.

The designers of these games believe that they are all manual labor, so the time and salary are similar, but the gameplay is different.

But after experiencing it himself and asking Qian Ziqiang for advice, Lu Zhixing understood that these jobs are actually very different.

So in the game, there should be differences in the reduction of cleaning value, reduction of satiety, increase of mental stress, etc. caused by these types of jobs to the player.

Moreover, the prerequisite skills, initial investment, impact on personality, impact on future career development path, etc. required to activate these jobs are all different.

These differences cannot be ignored by simply classifying them all as manual labor.

Lu Zhixing suddenly realized: "Perhaps, this is the key meaning of 'playing'?

"Just like the old saying that Professor He Cheng said, 'what comes on paper is shallow, but what you know has to be practiced', if I can directly get the materials for making games, then it is impossible for me to experience these games in person. Work, the game made will definitely be much worse in terms of authenticity and details.

"Very good, now the details of this game are more complete."

The meal lasted until 11 o'clock in the evening. Lu Zhixing listened to Qian Ziqiang share a lot of experience and anecdotes about beating workers, and gained more insights into the way of beating workers in "Ordinary Life".

Back at the rental house, Lu Zhixing had a good sleep.

When he woke up the next day, he felt that he was in good condition and refreshed.

And I don't know if it's my own illusion, after these two days of high-intensity physical labor, his muscle circumference seems to have increased a bit. In particular, upper body strength seems to have improved significantly.

"I didn't expect there to be unexpected gains?"

Lu Zhixing realized that this was most likely due to the effects of the two skills of physical burst and accelerated recovery.

The burst of physical fitness allows him to do some strength training beyond his ability without any side effects, and the accelerated recovery allows his body to recover quickly and accelerate muscle growth.

In this way, his physique in reality has also been significantly enhanced.

"Okay, let's get to work!"

Lu Zhixing first turned on the computer, and implemented the gains from chatting with Qian Ziqiang last night into the design plan.

In fact, the design draft of "Ordinary Life" has been completed and finalized before, and even in Professor He Cheng's class this afternoon, the top three for this assignment will be announced.

But for Lu Zhixing, since he has a new idea, he must add it to make it perfect.

It took him more than an hour to adjust all the gameplay and details of the worker modules in the design draft about takeaway, express delivery, brick moving, etc., to ensure that realistic details can be reflected as much as possible.

Then, he rode on a shared bicycle, ready to complete the one-hour unlimited collection of materials.
