Chapter 249 It’s all for the students!
After a heated discussion, order gradually returned to the classroom.
The students were still in high spirits.
Liang Cong, who was sitting at the podium, lowered his head to write down a few key points, then suddenly looked up, as if he remembered something.
"By the way, Mr. Lu."
He turned his head.
"What's the name of our game?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the students next to him immediately raised their heads.
"Oh yeah, it hasn't been named yet!"
"With such an exciting background, it needs a catchy title, right?"
"I suggest calling it 'The Remaining Embers'! It sounds very apocalyptic!"
"It's not literary enough. I think it should be called 'Disorderly Common People', which is clearer and more straightforward!"
"Your one is too ordinary! Artsy but not direct!"
“Then it’s called ‘Broken Copper and Recast’!
"That won't work either. It's direct but not artistic!"
The scene was about to quarrel again, Liang Cong quickly waved his hand,
"Wait a minute, let Mr. Lu speak first!"
Lu Ming was leisurely holding the paper cup and taking a sip of water.
"A name..."
He drawled out his voice, as if he was considering it.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
Then he spoke slowly,
"How about we call this game... 'Border Buddies'?"
Everyone seemed not to hear clearly, and their minds were still unable to wrap around it for a moment.
"Partner?"
"Is it that...partner?"
"Are you talking about 'dinner buddy', 'travel buddy', 'gym buddy'?"
"…Are you serious?"
"But it seems to be true. This is just a game between partners!"
The students were confused for a moment.
Liang Cong's expression changed slightly, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He looked at Lu Ming, was silent for a second, and suddenly nodded seriously:
"I understand."
"Mr. Lu, you want to use this name to convey a sense of ease and warmth, a sense of humanity amidst the desolation, right?"
Lu Ming:?
I'm not, I don't.
"Borderline."
Liang Cong muttered to himself, as if he had already imagined the scene in his mind.
"Two strangers met in the wasteland. At first, they were wary of each other and remained indifferent and alienated."
“But in their ongoing collaboration, they became each other’s only support.”
"Below the border, they are no longer lonely wasteland walkers, but a community with a shared destiny."
"Among young people, the word 'dazi' carries a sense of close yet distant, unfamiliar yet familiar relationship."
“The word ‘border’ symbolizes both the geographical boundary at the edge of the wasteland map and the invisible wall of emotion and understanding between people.”
“The simpler the name, the more memorable it is.”
"This light-hearted, anti-mainstream naming can actually create a contrasting communication effect when it is officially released."
"The wind blows through the wasteland, and the iron bones are cold. Before the partner speaks, the mosquitoes are already there!"
“Isn’t this the whale leap style!”
Lu Ming's eyes became a little distracted after hearing this.
This is the master of reading comprehension!
“…”
I originally wanted it to sound silly,
So you raised the height again?
"Cong."
“Do a good job!”
"This game! I'm counting on you to keep an eye on it later."
"Let's not worry about the finished product being perfect yet. First, keep up the enthusiasm you put into making the game."
"We'll take our time on the rest of the journey."
Liang Cong nodded seriously.
Mr. Lu’s mission must be accomplished!
The vice president in the back row had tears in his eyes.
This is the integration of industry and education!
This is what university education is all about!
This is what it means to let students take the lead!
This cooperation is worth it!
After Lu Ming finished his last sentence, he glanced across the classroom again.
Young faces and bright eyes were all staring at him, as if staring at some belief that could ignite the future.
"That's it."
After the two of them communicated with their classmates for a while, the classroom entered a free discussion break.
The moment the two walked out of the teaching building one after the other, the evening breeze blew over from the other end of the corridor, bringing with it the dampness of early spring.
Outside the building is the central square of the campus. In the distance, whistles and cheers from the basketball court can be heard.
Just two steps out of the classroom, the vice president standing at the door immediately came to greet him, smiling as if he saw a gold bar:
"Mr. Lu! Mr. Liang, that setup you just made really opened my eyes!"
"It's so exciting, so technological, and it has that spirit of never stopping to move forward! Isn't that what we students should have most?"
"Once this game is made, it will definitely become a model of industry-education integration!!!"
"We really approve of the direction of your project. It's really great!"
"Now that the general framework has been finalized, our school must also start coordinating internal processes and management mechanisms."
"Then... I also need to give the Finance and Academic Affairs Offices a timetable."
"After all, our school's procedures are more complicated than your company's. We need to coordinate the arrangements of manpower and venues."
"Um...look, how long is the estimated duration of our project?"
Lu Ming nodded and said cooperatively:
"That's no problem."
"We at Whale Leap will also arrange for colleagues to come over and assist. After all, the school's resources are limited, especially for the post-production special effects!"
"So, we just made a rough estimate that the development time for this game should be more than four months!"
"However, Dean, don't worry. This is our own project. There is absolutely no risk of it being abandoned. We will definitely ensure that the technology is implemented."
The vice president nodded repeatedly as he listened.
"Great, great! Mr. Lu has clear ideas and detailed arrangements!"
"Then... there is one more thing we need to discuss in advance."
When he said this, his eyes suddenly became evasive and his tone softened.
"that……"
"Our school...budget..."
"Actually, as soon as you said this, I felt a little uneasy."
"You said it was a two-player action adventure, but why did you bring in mechas?"
"This mecha sounds like it requires high-poly modeling, complex combat, an action system, action paths, and even cooperative behavioral logic... The technical level and art budget are beyond the reach of ordinary schools..."
"And what about the mechanical mosquito you mentioned? This..."
He looked at Lu Ming cautiously, wanting to persuade Lu Ming to lower his standards, but was afraid that saying too much would make him seem insincere.
"We... this is a normal school after all."
"We don't have a big budget to begin with, and teaching funds are also tight."
"We are willing to cooperate fully, but regarding funding..."
"The budget...we had prepared part of it."
"But...if I really do this...I'm afraid I can't hold on..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ming raised his hand.
"Dean."
"We at Whale Leap will take care of the entire project."
The vice president was stunned and his eyes were blank for two seconds, thinking he had heard it wrong.
"ah?"
"We at Whale Leap invested 100 million yuan in the early stages."
"One hundred million?!!!"
The vice president almost fainted on the spot!
"No, no... Mr. Lu, you just said... one hundred million?"
"Real money?"
Lu Ming smiled slightly: "Yes."
“We take this project very seriously.”
"We at Whale Leap have always supported the development of education."
"When it comes to talent cultivation, someone has to take the lead."
"In addition, this is also an attempt for us to explore the model of industry-education integration."
"To put it bluntly!"
"We provide the money, we provide the people, and we will also lead the project."
"Your school should train students well and let them treat this experience as a real workplace training camp."
"We at Jingyue also attach great importance to the cultivation of talents!"
"So, this time we don't want the result."
“We want the process.”
“Everything is for the students!”
