Chapter 410: Mr. Lu, you have lived up to everyone’s expectations!
Whale Leap Office.
Lu Ming sat in front of the computer.
He supported his chin with his left hand and swiped the mouse with his right hand, his eyes full of doubt about life.
On the screen is the latest score of "Mountain Patrol" on the "Echo Rating Software".
2.5 points.
Lu Ming was silent.
He once thought that there was a software error and even restarted it to check again.
The result value is still hanging there steadily.
This score is even higher than that of "Mistaken Path"!
The most important thing is,
This was the first time that Yao Wenqing took the lead and let go of his hands for the first time to work on "Mountain Patrol", and he directly made it to 2.5.
This is simply outrageous!
He had been wondering if the game would be full of bugs, with big problems with logical interactions, unreasonable mechanism settings, and a terrible battle rhythm!
This is too beautiful!
That’s a great idea!
Lu Ming stared at the data, feeling indescribably complicated.
Is Lao Yao so capable?
Are technical talents so good at integration?
Was my vision wrong again?
Lu Ming carefully looked at the various detailed information in the Echo software.
Mountain Patrol rating: 2.5

[Comments from player representatives:]
"Now I want to feed a mushroom to everyone I meet."
“This is not a game, it’s a philosophy lesson on the ethics of human and non-human survival.”
"This game isn't an action game, it's a monster interactive research game!"
"This game offers a variety of gameplay methods! Cultivation, group fights, individual duels, so that every group has a suitable position!"
“Patrol Mountain: A game that transcends genre definitions! In this world, you are not the only protagonist. The great demons have their own lives, habits, enemies, fears, and desires.”
“This is what an open world should feel like!”
"Whether the mountains are in chaos or not is up to me!"
have to!
Looking at the series of cries, Lu Ming felt that he could only forgive everything!
Face it, what can you do? You have to face it!
He felt that what he was best at now was facing it!
However, Lao Yao is indeed a person worth further study. At the very least, we have to keep an eye on him.
Lu Ming stood up and went directly to the whale watching laboratory.
Through the layers of access control,
Lu Ming finally saw Lao Yao,
At this time, Lao Yao was no longer busy with the "Mountain Patrol" team.
I had no idea what was going on at the equipment operating table.
There were also many more people at other workstations, all of them looking serious.
But the surroundings are very tight and seem to be kept secret!
He had been standing there for most of the day, and there was very little discussion in the office.
This doesn't make sense. Aren't you in your twenties and thirties the age when you can't keep secrets?
How did this happen?
How can it be so quiet?
Even Cheng Qing was there to help.
The master and apprentice are working together again?
What are you doing!
Also, why has your management suddenly become so strict?
Is this a good game, imitating Jingyue's approach to prevent players from visiting? Or is it to prevent him from visiting too often?
Lu Ming stood at the door and took a deep breath.
It was clearly a happy occasion, but he felt like a parent questioning his child why he got full marks in the exam.
He felt jealous, but had to come.
Although, the current emotional value has increased a lot,
No matter how many good comments you get, your emotional value will not drop.
However, what Lu Ming wanted to know was one thing.
Old Yao, what are you thinking?
How can you make such an excellent game without knowing the tricks?
"Lao Yao, what are you two doing?"
As soon as the voice came out, the two people who were fiddling with equipment in the laboratory looked up at the same time.
Yao Wenqing was still holding a string in his hand. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"Mr. Lu, you're here."
Cheng Qing was more direct, his eyes lit up:
"Mr. Lu!"
Lu Ming walked over. In front of the two of them was a large mechanical warehouse.
It's like a high-tech refrigerator, with all kinds of interfaces densely packed inside.
Lu Ming didn't quite understand.
However, he did not ask in a hurry, but looked at Yao Wenqing.
"Old Yao, are you no longer in charge of 'Mountain Patrol'?"
Yao Wenqing's eyes were clear:
"Of course, Mr. Lu, we've all seen the players' feedback, and it's basically as expected!"
"As expected?"
Lu Ming was speechless. What a guy!
Are you so confident?
Lu Ming still spoke with doubt,
"Well, this is your first time making a game..."
"Why is it getting so heated? So many people are starting to discuss the personality spectrum and regional ecology of monsters?"
"There are also academics, soul systems, and so many ways to cultivate gameplay. How did you come up with it?"
There was a hint of genuine confusion in Lu Ming's tone.
Yao Wenqing slowly raised his head.
"Boss Lu, didn't you say you wanted me to try it myself?"
"I just...did it seriously once."
"The serious kind."
"I designed each demon as a complete individual, not a combat unit or a mission target."
"They have their own living areas, their own activity times, what they eat, what they are afraid of, which monsters they have fought, and who their friends or enemies are... It's all written down."
"When you open the Demon Suppression Record, can't you see the illustrated guide?"
"That atlas is actually the ecological documentation system for the entire mountain."
"Players complete the game bit by bit through death, trial, interaction, etc."
"Just like the knowledge accumulated by real rangers from generation to generation."
“The process itself is the game.”
Lu Ming's breathing paused slightly.
It seems that he can't win the argument, because he said before that he was just here to keep watch!
"Then since you've made it so complicated, with so many mechanisms, aren't you afraid of failure?"
Yao Wenqing put down what he was holding.
"Boss Lu, I was afraid!"
"But didn't you encourage me in the beginning?"
"Besides, you said you needed me to make it from scratch!"
“You gave me so much confidence!”
"Besides, if you do something seriously, there are only two possible outcomes."
"Either succeed or fail."
"Or grow."
"You've lived up to everyone's expectations, Mr. Lu!"
Lu Ming: “…”
Good job!
He is here to take a philosophy class!
Old Yao, you still know a lot of golden sentences!
All the words you mentioned are from the composition collection!
What's the point of living up to everyone's expectations? He never even expected that!
Lu Ming couldn't refute it for a moment.
The bet failed!
Next, we can only wait and see the result from Lao Zhou's side!
After Yao Wenqing finished speaking, Cheng Qing also looked out from behind and added in a low voice:
"Besides, Mr. Lu, we actually have a major breakthrough!"
Lu Ming immediately became alert.
"A major breakthrough?"
"What?"
Yao Wenqing did not answer directly, but nodded to Cheng Qing.
Cheng Qing quickly pointed to the large silver mechanical warehouse in front, as if he was about to reveal the treasure.
"Is this... a new model of starship module?"
"You shrunk him?"
"Changed to lying position?"
Lu Ming frowned again.
"No, the Starship is a projection. What you're doing... is not right..."
"Not a projection?"
"Is this to solve the problem of it being inconvenient to use a phone while lying down?"
Lu Ming finished speaking.
Yao Wenqing raised his head, his eyes showing a hint of excitement.
"Mr. Lu, this is definitely not for the Starship."
“It’s not an upgraded model!”
"It was a design problem that suddenly came to my mind when I was sorting out 'Mountain Patrol'."
"Mr. Lu, do you know why I created so many 'ecosystems' in 'Mountain Patrol'?"
"...Aren't you free?"
Lu Ming complained subconsciously.
"no."
Yao Wenqing shook his head, his tone extremely serious.
"Mr. Lu, when I was sorting out the production process of Mountain Patrol, I discovered that some traditional input and output methods have limited the depth of player exploration."
"What's the meaning?"
"It's screen + keyboard + mouse + controller. This interaction method can only allow players to stand outside and observe the world.
But when they want to truly touch this world, they are limited. You see, those players can feed mushrooms, hatch them, and try all kinds of things, but in the end, they are still separated by a layer.
“Even in the immersive projection of ‘Sharing the Moon’, although it is very real, it still cannot reach 100%!”
"In other words, players are always outsiders!"
“But when I was making ‘Mountain Patrol,’ I understood.”
"Because we are always using 'screen logic' to make immersive games."
"Even if we have projection, interaction, and a sense of space, players are still 'spectators'. They wear devices, stand in the center of the experience venue, and passively wait for the content to unfold."
"They don't have a sense of 'I am the character.'"
“And there’s a lack of feedback.”
Cheng Qing added beside her, the little girl looked excited,
"We have been verifying this over the past few days, but the feedback chain is incomplete."
Lu Ming stared at the two of them blankly, talking back and forth as if they were giving a speech.
Both of them have a very strong smell of life!
Is this what it means to be uninterested?
Yao Wenqing continued:
"Yes! The starship's projection only solves the problem of 'seeing', not the problem of 'being'."
"So?" Lu Ming frowned.
"What do you want to do? Don't tell me you're going to make another big move."
"That's right! Mr. Lu! Don't worry, let me worry first!"
Yao Wenqing said hurriedly,
"I used to think the problem was that we didn't have enough computing power and the somatosensory simulation wasn't accurate enough."
"But I was wrong."
“The real key is the logic of building an immersive world.”
Lu Ming: “…”
This sounds more like an academic report.
He encounters this problem every time he goes whale watching!
Can't you be more direct?
"So what exactly did you break through?"
"Can you explain it in a simpler and more popular way?"
Yao Wenqing reached out and knocked on the silver device.
"Boss Lu! This is the problem we need to break through!"
"Virtual gaming cabin!"
