Rebirth 86: I use games to kick open the door to the world

"Use this archer to shoot flying soldiers, this will work wonders."

"Use guns. Guns can restrain enemies who use swords!"

"An ax can take on a gun."

"Oh, why did this character die? It's such a pity. I think his talent is the best."

"Why did I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable when I watched the characters die?"

In the evening, several middle-aged people gathered in front of a computer in their work unit.

Each of them was staring at the picture on the screen.

Xiao Zhang, on the other hand, operated and moved according to the instructions of several middle-aged people.

When Fire Emblem was just activated, several middle-aged people had already discussed what to eat later.

However, as the plot of Fire Emblem progressed, they all couldn't take their eyes away.

It’s not that they haven’t seen much of the world, and it’s impossible for video games to really have a big impact on people like them.

But I have to say that this game called Fire Emblem is really rich in details.

Things like chess usually have very simple set rules.

These fixed rules have been passed down for hundreds of years and are unbreakable.

These middle-aged people also like to play chess.

But to be honest, sometimes if you play this too much, you will get a little bored.

They will also feel that the rules of chess, a table game, are less restrictive.

It's very simple rules such as the horse moves the sun, the elephant moves the field, the pawn moves step by step, etc.

Of course, simple rules also contain profound connotations, which is worthy of recognition.

And Fire Emblem is like a whole new way of playing chess.

This one has more complex rules.

It is no longer just about eating the enemy that needs to be balanced against each other, but it is about starting to consider some more detailed things.

Some soldiers' weapons will restrain another soldier, so you must find a way to use this soldier to deal with the enemy's soldier's weaknesses.

Some enemies are naturally very strong. If you want to fight against them, you must concentrate your firepower to destroy them in one go. Otherwise, the entire army may be completely annihilated.

Seriously, this Fire Emblem even has a simulated sandbox feel.

Several of them have also been veterans of the war, and they have a special fondness for this form that is more similar to battlefield command.

This is much more interesting than chess.

In other words, this is fresher than chess.

In addition to the restraint and confrontation relationship system contained in the game, there is also a very complete storyline.

The story of a prince and princess in a different world.

From the pirate invasion at the beginning, to the emergence of the rebels, to the regaining of the country, they more or less felt a very nostalgic feeling.

The only pity they felt was that the story was set in a Western setting.

If it were an Eastern story background, it would be easier for them to feel involved.

For example, the intrigues between princes of a certain dynasty, and then a princess from a foreign land, it's quite interesting just thinking about it.

After careful study and advice by several middle-aged people, they successfully passed the first major checkpoint.

Prince Mars' country was invaded by rebels, and then he escaped from the imperial capital under the protection of his guards, and then embarked on a journey away from home.

In the process of leaving his hometown, Mars gradually awakened and decided to regain his motherland.

"Aha, did you see that there are really rebels and there are bad guys in the crowd? I knew this story would develop like this."

A middle-aged man said very happily.

"Indeed, I have to say that this story is quite good, but it's a pity that it is a foreign story."

"Yes, why is it a foreign story? We also have many stories in the East."

Xiao Zhang explained: "That's it. According to my understanding, this game should be sold to foreigners. Foreigners are obviously more accepting of this kind of Western story. Since you want to make money from foreigners, then this kind of game should be sold to foreigners." The method should be more prudent.”

"Well, that makes sense. They don't understand Eastern culture yet, but there will always be opportunities in the future."

Several people began to discuss at this time.

They started from the plot of the game, to the relationship between the restraint of arms in the game, and finally returned to the game makers themselves.

"Xiao Zhang, you said the creator of this game is a college student? And then he uses something like this to make a lot of money from those foreign guys?"

"It is indeed the case."

"I really didn't expect that there could be such a way. Why didn't I notice this before?"

"After all, entertainment things can't feed us. Our people haven't really enjoyed entertainment yet, so not many people can think of this. But, it's a good start now, isn't it?"

"Well, it's really a good start."

Several people smiled, and they were obviously very satisfied with this Fire Emblem game.

At the same time, they also feel very novel about this way of making money.

"It seems that we have underestimated the money-making ability of computers before. Maybe we can make more suggestions to encourage the development of this kind of thing?"

"You can try this, but what I actually want to see now is this young man named Zuo Zhen."

After saying that, several middle-aged people looked at each other.

"Do you all want to see it?"

"We have been friends for many years. Do we need to talk about what we are thinking? We must have thought about it together."

"Haha, okay, then it's settled. We'll go to Chuanzhou Province another day to have a good look at this young man and his games, but now... do we still want to play Fire Emblem?"

"Ahem, business is more important, but we can have some fun after get off work."

"Yes, that's what I thought too."

Several middle-aged people coincided with each other, while Xiao Zhang was watching all this from the side.

He suddenly felt as if something big was about to happen.

This big event may affect many things.

At the same time, in a restaurant next to Qingshan University, several young people gathered here, and Zuo Zhen was sitting at the top with a smile on his face.

"Everyone, today is a day worth celebrating. In fact, I had the idea of ​​celebrating before this, but it has been postponed until now, mainly because the production of Fire Emblem was delayed for some time."

Zuo Zhen picked up a tea cup.

"Today I am here to thank you for your efforts. From now on we will be partners and comrades fighting side by side. I hope we can make more and better games in the future."

At the dinner table, some other people had the urge to applaud, but they were suppressed. They suppressed the excitement in their hearts, but they couldn't help it on their expressions.

It's hard not to get excited.

Because today is officially payday for most of them.

One hundred per person, which is almost three times the salary of ordinary industrial workers.

It’s really unthinkable.

And it was Zuo Zhen who paid them wages.
