Chapter 149: The Real Hardcore Gamer (Part 2)
There is nothing special about the ending animation, at most, the awards he has won and the programs he has directed are listed one by one, slowly unfolding like a scroll.
But when the accolades were over, the farewells followed, and current and ex-employees showed up to show off their accomplishments, and what happened next.
This process is one of the ending processes, but when thinking of those employees who were used by him and then ruthlessly abandoned, Liu Zi felt a little bored.
"It's just a game." Liu Zi reminded himself again, "All the gameplay is part of the game, it doesn't matter."
He didn't know why he was nervous, but he still looked at the screen and read the introduction that followed.
The first to appear were the employees who ended up staying in his program group.
These employees are all five-star employees carefully selected by him. Each employee has super characteristics and excellent attributes, and is his right-hand man to complete the final trial.
And because of these characteristics, even if they leave their program group in the future, their achievements will be limitless.
They are glamorous, their high wages make them no worries, and the excellent company environment in the later stage makes them look very energetic and energetic.
They looked at the six off-screen gratefully, and spoke their heartfelt words.
[Thank you director, joining your program group is the most correct thing I have done in this life. 】
[I think back then I was just a nobody, confused about my future. But director, you dig me out of the street, train me, and take care of me. It's a great honor to be able to make so many interesting shows with you. You are my benefactor. I really don't know what I would have done if I hadn't met you. 】
[I didn't know before that I actually had the talent of being a host. It was you who discovered my talent, thank you director. 】
[Photography is something I have always wanted to do, but unfortunately no one supports it. It is you who let me see my own possibilities. You are the best mentor. 】
These people have perfect resumes, and there is no lack of compliments for the six sons.
Their gratitude was genuine and not vain.
They are all successful people in the Liuzi program group, they are excellent employees, each of them can be independent, and they are the top talents in the future.
But compared with those at the top of these pyramids, other people are completely different.
If they are the jewels in the palm of the six sons, then what will be shown next is the cannon fodder behind the pearls.
Among these cannon fodder, there are five-star employees with not so good characteristics, and there are also low-star employees who were ruthlessly abandoned by him after exhausting the last bit of energy.
The employees whose wages were deducted by him in the early days were still there, and they were looking at Liu Zi indifferently.
Judging from the final vertical painting, those employees who have been squeezed out of their surplus value are haggard and dazed. Even through the screen, they can see the blank and helpless eyes of the other party.
Before joining their own program group, they were full of expectations for the future, and their eyes were bright.
Facing the six sons, they showed tired smiles and congratulated each other.
[That... congratulations. 】
[Sorry, I can't accompany you to the end. You are a great director. 】
[Sorry, my body has slowed down the progress, thank you for the compensation you gave me. 】
[From the first time we met, I knew that you would definitely come to the present. You have potential for this. 】
【congratulations. 】
【congratulations. 】
【congratulations. 】
...
Compared with those successful employees, the number of abandoned employees is 20 times as many as them. Behind every successful person, there are a large number of corpses, casting their ladder.
Watching these former companions pass by one by one, the six sons seemed to have really experienced 20 years, and began to look back on their glorious years.
Looking back suddenly, he was surprised to find that these people were all old.
They are the stepping stones on the road to their own success, the so-called unknown people, firewood and fertilizer.
Liu Zi couldn't even remember their names, after all, no one would care how many mouthfuls of rice he had eaten.
But I don't know why, when I saw the ending screen, these people became alive again.
Although he knew that this was just a game, and the goal of the game was to become the best program director, but looking at these elderly employees who laughed carefully, Liu Zi felt that his heart had been stabbed severely.
There is nothing special about the end of the game after clearing the level.
It doesn't preach, it doesn't ask the question "is it worth it?", it just shows the end of the staff as usual, very flat.
But the more bland it is, the more suffocating Liu Zi will feel.
The joy of clearing the game is gone, replaced by a sense of confusion.
Everyone hates capitalists except capitalists, but everyone wants to be a capitalist.
Although it was just a game, Liu Zi still found sadly that in his subconscious, he still hoped to be a capitalist.
After closing the game, the six sons looked at the gradually polished Dongfang, with a lot of thoughts in their minds.
Opening the browser, he logged in to the game inn, browsed through the posts, and saw if there was anyone who felt the same as him.
Although the game inn is used to publish the games of living immortals, the games of Fangcheng Studio have also been moved up, and has its own independent sub-section.
The website administrator has also delegated some management authority, and some other types of game development teams can also establish their own sub-forums here, and release their own game demo version under the condition of not violating the law, so as to attract traffic for themselves.
Many small independent games use this as another publicity point for their games, which further increases the popularity of this place, making it start to develop in the direction of a comprehensive forum.
It stands to reason that when such a forum grows in scale, it is bound to encounter situations such as hacker attacks, provoking wars, scolding wars, or pacing, but the website managers seem to be very experienced, and they patrol the forum with high intensity 24 hours a day , Once you find something wrong, take action immediately, and kill the flames in the bud.
In this way, the discussion atmosphere on the website is very comfortable, and the game inn has no plans to introduce advertising or capital, which makes this forum very pure and comfortable, and it is the forum that Liu Zi likes to visit most recently.
Browsing the "I am a director" sub-forum, he found that the discussion on "I am a director" has been flourishing on the forum, the random events in the game have been sorted out, and various combinations are being perfected one after another.
Some people even collected performance animations with different combinations. Some animations are quite satisfactory, but some funny animations are quite interesting.
Others noticed the salary gap and offered their own ideas. However, their idea is still just a conjecture, and it has not yet been implemented into practice like Liu Zi.
Their understanding of the game is not as deep as their own, and they don't know the capital operation that should be paid attention to in the simulation business when playing the game.
Therefore, although they discovered the idea of solving the problem, but because they failed to operate well, the final result was actually a little worse than the normal game.
When Liu Zi was idly browsing the forum, a post suddenly caught his attention.
""I am the Director", revealing the secrets of the evil way of playing!"
The person who posted the post was a player called heretic.
After seeing who the poster was, Liu Zi frowned, wondering what the other party had done.
Some people are born to be together, and some people are not born to deal with.
The six sons felt that he and the heretics must have been enemies in the previous life, and they still disliked each other in this life.
They haven't met each other, but they have had a chat on the forum.
He can't understand the other party looking for bugs everywhere to have fun disrupting the game environment, and the other party also dislikes him as an old-fashioned and rigid brain who knows how to play games step by step.
This may be the difference between hardcore players and fun players.
However, although the other party is not pleasing to the eye, the six have to admit that the other party's brain turns quickly and the sense of the game is quite keen. They can often find some weird things, and then win by inexplicable means.
Of course, sometimes it is too evil, making people wonder if he is playing a game, or is he playing a game.
In "Number One in the World" some time ago, he used various outrageous methods to finally achieve the extremely difficult title of "Number One Villain in the World".
And through the review post written by him, other players found that although this title belongs to the heinous kind, this guy actually played it so that other people liked it.
Doing bad things and making a good name is worthy of being heretics.
Clicking in with curiosity, Liu Zi's heart skipped a beat.
In the post, the heretics posted a screenshot of their ending at the very front.
Judging from the data in the screenshots at the end, he won the right to direct the Spring Festival Gala in the 18th year. Although he was three years later than himself, it is still a very remarkable achievement.
But it wasn't this that surprised him the most, but his final list of employees.
His employees are all those early employees, which means that he only recruited those initial employees, and he never recruited anyone later.
The qualifications of low-star employees are poor, and their growth potential is not very good. It takes a lot of money to cultivate them, and it is impossible to get them together with ordinary gameplay.
Moreover, these employees seemed to be of a certain age, but because of their high physical attributes, they looked quite energetic, with cheerful smiles on their faces.
Compared with the boring and zombie-like state described by his employees at the end, Liu Zi became more and more puzzled.
What is this man doing?
Could it be that he found a modifier?
But after reading the text, Liu Zi found that the method used by the other party was extremely simple.
That is the save/load method that every player will use.
"I am the Director" is a rare game that can be archived by Fangcheng Studio.
And the game will have random events every once in a while, and some random events may be some kind of small gambling game. If you guess wrong, you will lose all your money, and if you guess right, your principal will be doubled.
Some people have studied that there is a high probability of a random event in the game every month, so just save it at the beginning of the month and wait until the random event appears.
Silently calculating the funds for training these employees, the six sons found that the other party may have read the file repeatedly thousands of times.
By constantly reading files, gambling, and then reading files, and then gambling, the heretics can have a huge amount of funds at the beginning, and then they can play however they want.
It can only be said that as expected of an evil player in the evil sect, only such a person can do it after spending more than ten hours reading the file.
This kind of gameplay is a typical shortcut, and it is one of the six most disliked game methods.
But seeing the happy smiles of his employees, the six sons felt a little envious for no reason.
Perhaps, it is also possible to read a few files a few times in the early stage to increase the funds...
Throwing away this dangerous idea, Liu Zi thought for a while before writing out his strategy.
It has nothing to do with spreading your own game ideas, it just wants to slap the heretics in the face.
Not long after the post was posted, it attracted a group of players to watch and leave comments. The sudden increase in popularity was automatically detected by the forum and then it was put on the top and sent to the top.
I don't know if it was intentional or not, but his post happened to be put together with the post of the heretic, so that the player can see and compare the posts of the two as soon as they come in.
One needs to manually load the file, and the other has no conscience. The two groups of players quickly have friendly discussions in each other's posts.
When I thought there were only two ways to play the game, the third post appeared with a third genre.
"You can take a look at the summary of some collocation routines of "I am the director". I have tested it myself, and there is no problem leading the Spring Festival Gala in the 20th year."
The person who posted the post met by chance, and is currently a well-known UP host at station B, and the group favorite of "Botanical Garden" players (positive meaning).
This girl is beautiful and kind-hearted. Although her legs are disabled, she is optimistic, cheerful, versatile, and she will feel much better after a while.
However, she often tells horror stories, which makes many players want to watch but dare not.
Many players have summed up the collocation routine, but this post can be upvoted, there must be something special about it.
After clicking on the post, Liu Zi gasped.
He already considers himself a hardcore player. After all, summarizing the game data and making it into an excel sheet, just to calculate the income of each choice, this is already hardcore to a little romantic.
But seeing the data given by Ping Shui, he felt that he was still a little conservative.
In addition to being able to match the game, there is also a function that is not commonly used, that is, detail adjustment.
This function is a bit tasteless, the effect is that players can adjust the details of each combination.
Using "sketch + anti-fraud" as an example, players can customize the number of actors, the key points of actors' lines, where to save money in each process, where to pay, etc.
However, there are too many details, it is not easy to find the key points, and the effect is not obvious, Liu Zi gave up after trying for a while.
Unexpectedly, someone actually made use of this function to adjust the details of the mainstream collocation!
Just when Liu Zi was dumbfounded, he saw an anonymous player's message below.
[This is a hardcore player, the gameplay is really too hardcore. Some self-proclaimed hardcore player, how do you feel now, tell me? 】
Six sons: "... Heretics!"
Thank you Yan Lian for your 100 point reward, thank you.
