Build a game empire from scratch

Early the next morning, Yu Gu came to the company worried.

Instead of continuing with yesterday afternoon's work, he came to the boss's office with the last sliver of luck.

Hearing the knock on the door and seeing Yu Gu not the assistant coming in, Zhao Yucheng was stunned for a moment, but he quickly thought of the reason.

So he said happily——

"Yu Gu? Are you here to urge me to develop game engines and software?"

"Don't worry, the programming team has connected with the R\u0026D team yesterday. You guessed it right. The virtual reality technology itself has a ready-made physics engine that simulates the real world. It can be used as a game engine without much modification. It doesn't cost much. time."

"As for the development of software, there is no need to worry. The program team has already issued a military order, and a set of first-version tools will be produced soon. However, you can't just watch this thing, and you have to participate in it. After all, the tools are what you want. Use it, the demand still needs to be explained clearly..."

Without giving Yu Gu a chance to speak, Zhao Yucheng spoke in a long line without any intention of stopping.

"Besides, you just came here too. Let's take a look at your new contract. I was busy with a meeting with the programming team yesterday, so I didn't have time to give it to you." As he said that, Zhao Yucheng took out a new contract from the drawer and handed it to Yu Gu.

Yu Gu took the new contract, but did not open it to read, but put it back on the table, looked into Zhao Yucheng's eyes and said, "Boss, I have a question to ask."

Looking at Yu Gu's heavy expression, Zhao Yucheng was silent for a moment before saying, "Just ask."

"How did our virtual reality technology come about?" Yu Gu cut to the chase.

"Of course it was developed by the R\u0026D team!" Zhao Yucheng did not hesitate.

"However, how did the R\u0026D team produce results so quickly when one-third of the backbone was lost?"

"Lin You, a college student, can do it. We have so many masters, doctors, and top talents, so of course we can do it too." Zhao Yucheng continued to insist.

Yu Gu didn't ask any more questions, but he still looked at Zhao Yucheng silently. Obviously, this reason failed to convince him.

Looking at Yu Gu's expression, Zhao Yucheng suddenly became angry: "Why do you have to be entangled in this matter?"

"If you want to make a virtual game, I will give you a chance!"

"I'll give you the highest position! All the privileges! More than a hundred times the previous income!"

"You don't need to know anything, just make games, make money, and gain fame and fortune! Any problems are the responsibility of NetDragon and me! It's not your turn to be scolded!"

"Can't you see how much money Yunmeng's game made?!"

"Make a game, sell it, and share the money!"

"Is it so difficult?!"

Zhao Yucheng slapped the contract in front of Yu Gu hard, making the table thump loudly.

"Look at your contract! Look at your dividends and bonuses! Do you know how much money you can earn?!"

"Billions of units! Enough for you to spend a lifetime!!"

Zhao Yucheng's chest rose and fell, and he tried to restrain his anger: "If you miss this opportunity, you will never make so much money in your life!"

"Now, take your contract, leave my office, and think for yourself!"

Yu Gu was silent, his eyes flickering, and finally reached out his hand, picked up the contract that was obviously only a few dozen pages long, but felt like a thousand pounds, and walked out of the office with difficulty.

After returning to his office, Yu Gu was silent for a long time, but still stretched out his hand to open the new contract.

Before that, he always thought that he was an idealist, never loved money, let alone let money tarnish his ideals.

But at the end of the day, he discovered: In fact, he also loves.

Just a common man.

After a whole night, the most heated discussion in the player circle was still the battle against the Ender Dragon.

The whole night passed, and the first kill still hadn't happened, but the teams with the best scores had already lowered the boss' blood volume to 25%.

Many mechanisms have also been figured out, so Ershang wrote a special article "Summary of Ender Dragon BOSS Battle Mechanisms" and put it at the top of the "Minecraft" section to help more player teams open up wasteland——

"Based on the information gathered so far, the Ender Dragon battle is likely to be divided into six stages:

[1. Overture stage]

Destroy 10 ender crystals one by one, and summon a batch of [the number of players multiplied by 2] for each enderman.

After destroying 8, a hurricane environment is generated, and the action is hindered.

[2. 100% HP]

After destroying all the ender crystals, the ender dragon lands, the battle music sounds, and the strategy battle officially begins.

At this stage, the Ender Dragon mainly uses melee attacks, which are: Pounce, Tail Flick, Bite, Claw, and Dragon Wing Slap.

The difficulty is not high, just pay attention: you can't use beds or TNT blocks to fry!

As soon as the dragon explodes, it will take off directly due to excessive damage in a short period of time, and enter the next stage ahead of time with all the blood.

[3. 75% HP]

After the blood volume of the Ender Dragon is reduced to 75%, the Ender Dragon will shift its attack target, from attacking players to attacking buildings, destroying the defensive field built by players in a large area.

At the same time, every time the blood volume is reduced by 5%, the enderman with the number of players multiplied by 2 will be summoned again-this part can be blown up with a bed.

It is worth mentioning that at this stage, blocks such as end stone and obsidian that the ender dragon could not destroy before will also be destroyed.

The price is that the Ender Dragon will also be damaged by [the number of broken blocks divided by 5].

If the Enderman can be quickly wiped out, this mechanism can also be used to stack a large number of obstacles to quickly reduce the Ender Dragon's HP to the next stage.

[4. 50% HP]

The Ender Dragon lifted off again, and the system prompted [The Ender Dragon took a deep breath].

This means that the Ender Dragon will carry out a super dragon breath that covers a large area, covering one-third of the end floating island, and can even penetrate buildings.

The damage is overwhelming, be sure to dodge!

But at this stage, the head of the Ender Dragon will enter the state of [Weakness] and will receive 5 times the damage.

At the same time, for every 5% reduction in blood volume, it will fall to the ground, enter a paralyzed state for 20 seconds, and suffer double damage.

[5. 25% HP]

At this stage, the battle music is changed again. (A personal thing: I personally like this part of music very much. After consulting Yunmeng customer service, I learned that the title of this song is "Frenzy")

At this stage, the frequency of boss attacks is increased by 1.5 times, and the damage is significantly increased.

There are three new attack modes——

[Death Rolling]: The Ender Dragon rolls its whole body left or right, causing massive crushing damage.

[Cone-shaped Dragon Breath]: The Ender Dragon will also start breathing dragon breath when it is on the ground, covering a 60-degree cone in front of it.

[Great Earthquake]: The Ender Dragon jumps on the ground, causing earthquakes and causing continuous damage in a wide range.

All the current public teams are all wiped out at this stage, and no one has been able to enter the BOSS into the next stage.

But according to speculation, when the BOSS blood volume is reduced to 10% or 5%, there will be a new mechanism. I look forward to a team achieving this feat as soon as possible!

I wish you all a successful land reclamation! "

The whole night in the past was a night of fighting wits and courage between countless land reclamation teams and the Ender Dragon.

No one expected that Yunmeng would come up with such a complicated change in the fighting mechanism even though it was just a BOSS.

There are front-ends, air battles, and land battles. Melee and long-range are constantly switching, and factors such as construction, stance, clearing mobs, mobile predictions, etc. must also be added.

There are too many complicated things in a battle, and each stage change is a test of the team's execution ability.

Before this, no one has seen such a complicated boss battle.

At this point, all the leading player teams have spontaneously controlled the number of players between 10 and 40.

But the benefits are also obvious: as each stage and each skill is proven, the proficiency continues to increase, and the progress of the strategy is also continuously advanced.

Not only is the program super effective, it opened the eyes of the audience, and the players who are really pioneering wasteland are also immersed in it, and the more frustrated they become, the more courageous they become!

The only problem is that after reaching 25% blood volume, the combination of high-frequency attacks, high damage, and three large-scale AOE skills has become an insurmountable barrier, and the advancement speed has suddenly slowed down.

It has been a long time since there is no team that can advance the battle to the next stage.

At the same time, Wu Di's [New World Travel Coupon] is about to expire.

His [Virtual Chang'an] trip is coming to an end, so that he has no time to pay attention to this fierce battle.

At the beginning, Wu Yong felt that one week was too short and not enough for fun.

But when it was about to end now, he felt that a week was actually just right, and no matter how long it was, it seemed unnecessary.

Chang'an is indeed very big, and there are countless NPCs, many of which even look alive, which is very interesting.

Learning the way of an assassin with cheap master Han Jing, I can also feel that this set of things is very deep and quite playable-only using the word "playable" to describe it is even a bit too understatement.

A few days ago, he was bored at work in reality, so he had a whim to try the skills taught by the master assassin Han Jing in the game, and then he found it outrageously——this thing seems to be a real thing!

It can really be practiced in reality!

This matter is actually not too shocking: after all, in this era, it is not as difficult to learn real things as in ancient times. So many martial arts gyms are open for business, and they are all willing to teach real things as long as they pay money.

Even if you are very talented and hardworking enough, you may be spotted by the master, and you don’t even need to pay the money, the master will also cover board and lodging!

But teaching this directly in the game for free is still a bit outrageous for Wu Di, who makes a living by "taking old aunts to dance"...

Unfortunately, apart from these, [Virtual Chang'an] has nothing else.

It was only on the fourth day after Wu Di entered [Virtual Chang'an] that he realized very strongly that this is indeed an unfinished game.

Other than this questline he triggered, nothing else seemed to happen.

All NPCs are step by step, and all things are simply repeated, and the cycle goes on day by day.

Wu Yong believes that when Yunmeng really releases the game, he will never deal with it like this. This only shows that the game is still a long way from being completed.

He finished his work ahead of schedule today, logged into the virtual Chang'an, and said goodbye to the cheap master Han Jing.

After that, he planned to climb up to the tallest building, overlooking the entire scenery of Chang'an, and waited for the last moment.

At the same time, Yu Gu also walked towards the boss's office with heavy steps, holding the things in his hands.

It's just that what he is holding in his hand is not the new contract that can bring him huge monetary returns.

It's a letter of resignation.
