An Expert Is actually By My Side

Chapter 78: A program that makes people think about life

   Actually, Hao Yun only guessed half of the reason for not signing the contract.

   In addition to updating too casually, there is another reason that accounts for a big factor.

   At this moment, in the editorial department of Xiake.com, Liu Ye, who is sitting in front of the computer, is very hesitant.

   Sign or not?

   To be honest, he was a little undecided.

  I feel the conscience evaluation, the writing of this "Swordsman in Shu Mountain" is indeed excellent, and the plot is also remarkable. The only shortcoming is probably that the writing is a bit retro, and there is not much newness in the subject matter, which may be due to the fact that the plot has not yet developed.

   After thinking about it for a while, he didn't make up his mind. After some hesitation, Liu Ye decided to ask other editors in the same group for advice.

   "Zongzi, I have a book here and I can’t make up my mind. The article has been sent to your email. Would you like to read it for me?"

"And the book you can't make up your mind?" The editor named Zongzi gave him a surprised look, pushed his glasses, and looked at the computer screen, "Swordsman Shushan, I read this book the day before yesterday, I feel Okay."

   "Yes, I think it's okay," Liu Ye nodded and said, "This author doesn't look like a newcomer. Although the style of writing is a bit older, he looks quite flavorful."

   The zongzi touched his chin, meditated for a while, and said.

   "The strength of this author is really good... But if I want to say, the new book issue will be updated every three days, and signing is a waste. Don't waste a recommendation."

   Hearing the conversation between the two, the lobster sitting next to him also cut in.

   "Yes, now we are engaged in the KPI system within the group. You don't know how precious the recommended resources are. I don't recommend signing."

   Soy Dou: "My opinion is just the opposite of yours. At this time, the value of signing a contract is still there, but I still recommend asking the editor's idea first."

   Soybean proposal, it's the point.

  Xiaike.com is different from other novel websites. The editor in charge does not have the right to sign a contract directly, but only has the right to sign up.

   That is to say, whether a novel can be signed or not can be confirmed by the editor in charge first to report to the editor in chief, and then the editor in chief can sign it.

   In other words, it's useless for them to discuss here. It's better to ask the editor directly.

   Hearing Huang Dou's suggestion, Liu Ye felt that there was some truth, so he took the book to the editor's office and found Wang Ze, the editor-in-chief of their group.

   stared at the document on the screen for about ten minutes, Wang Ze took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose and gently placed it on the desk.

   "Liu Ye, have you been an editor for more than ten years?"

   Some do not understand why the editor-in-chief suddenly brought up this matter, Liu Ye hesitated for a moment and said.

   "Exactly ten years...what's wrong?"

   "Ten years, according to your seniority, you are also the veteran of our Xiake.com, do you know why you have always been in the position of editor?"

   Hearing this murderous question, Liu Ye almost didn't choke on a mouthful of old blood, but he still bit his head and followed the editor's words.

   "...why?"

   "Because editors and readers are different, you can't judge whether a work is good or not based on personal preference, you must learn to analyze the potential of the work from a market perspective."

   After a pause, Wang Ze began to educate him earnestly.

   "The main work of our Xiake.com is a new school of martial arts. Even if the subject matter is not necessarily new, it must have gimmicks and highlights. What do you think of this work?"

   is right to say that, but not all works are sold on the subject matter itself, right?

  I heard that the editor-in-chief meant that he was not very optimistic about this book. Liu Ye felt a little regretful. After hesitating for a moment, he finally decided to win for this newcomer called Huanzhu.

   "...But, I think the plot is quite attractive."

"Yes, the fascinating plot is a bright spot, but the premise is that you take it in, and the average reader has that patience?" As he said, Editor Wang's tone gradually brought a hint of criticism, "It's still you I feel that he has his own fan traffic, which can make readers patiently read more than a dozen chapters? Why do we emphasize the three golden chapters, whether a book is valuable, you can see at the beginning of it."

   Liu Ye lowered his head slightly in frustration.

   "...what you said is."

   Speaking of this, there is no room for maneuver.

   No matter how he optimistic about this book, if the editor-in-chief is not optimistic, he has nothing to do.

   Looking at the subordinates who are finally sensible, Editor Wang nodded with satisfaction.

   "Go back and think about what I said."

   "Well, I will sign this book, but don't even think about recommending resources."

   "Neither makes sense nor worth it!"

  ……

   There is no clue in the Hope Cup game. Hao Yun wanted to ask Professor Wang from the Basic Planning Course, but the other professor was not interested in his "topic", so he just let him think about it, and he didn't make any sense.

   It was Dean Li Guoping's graduate student-that is, brother Chen Wenchao, who occasionally came to take care of him and give him some bad ideas. By the way, I would like to ask about programming knowledge.

   But to be honest, this guy is pretty good at writing math problems. It's really not a programming material.

   I taught him some knowledge points several times, but this guy still looks unconscious.

   Thinking of his talent for repairing computers, Hao Yun finally couldn't help it one day, and said something more.

   "Why don't you... consider changing your major?"

   "Change major?" Chen Wenchao, who came to consult with the draft, was taken aback, "What major?"

"Computer repair."

   The expression on Chen Wenchao's face stagnated when he heard the three words "Computer repair", and then turned into full of grief and anger, staring at Hao Yun.

   "Junior Brother Hao, do you despise me?"

   Hao Yun was stunned by this sentence.

   "Ah, this...no?"

   is just a friendly suggestion. Why does this guy react so much?

   However, Chen Wenchao didn't think so.

   Maybe it's because the successive blows have cut his self-esteem into thin paper, which caused him to explode right now.

   "If you look down on me, just say it! Why bother to make me learn how to fix a computer!"

   While talking, Chen Wenchao's expression suddenly changed from being filled with righteous indignation to frustration, and he sighed for a long while.

   "Hey, I know, my programming is really average, and I can't do this stuff. Maybe you are right, I really don't learn programming."

   Seeing that this guy seemed to have calmed down, Hao Yun said with comfort.

   "If you want to start, there is still a long way to go in life. But I don't understand one thing, why are you so persistent in learning programming? Your undergraduate degree is applied mathematics, right?"

   Chen Wenchao was silent for a while.

"Yes... My undergraduate course is indeed applied mathematics, but at the end of my study, I found that this subject is still a pavement for other subjects after all. So I thought, if this is the case, why not find and make it work by myself How does it work? So..."

   "So you thought of changing your career to learn programming?"

   Chen Wenchao nodded.

"Yes it is."

   But this...

   The reason is too far-fetched, right?

   But looking at the expression on this guy's face, whether he has persuaded others or not, he has already convinced himself.

   cheered up again, he looked at Hao Yun and said.

   "Speaking of which, I was thinking just now... Since you are good at making games, why not consider making a game like 2048?"

   "...A game like 2048?" Hao Yun was taken aback for a moment, frowned and asked, "What do you say?"

"Nothing, I just think that 2048 is also quite philosophical, and it can be regarded as a program," Chen Wenchao scratched his head. "Didn't the organizer of the competition say it, the type of program is not limited, and the logic is self-consistent...you write A similar game, as long as you can explain clearly how this thing makes people think about the philosophy of life, I think it should be possible too?"

   Hao Yun shook his head when he heard this idiotic reading method. He wanted to make a comment.

   But then I thought about it again, as if...

   Does it make sense?

   His eyes lit up suddenly, and Hao Yun felt like a bright light was lit in his heart.

correct!

   Why didn't he think of it before?

  Game is of course a kind of program. If it is said that the program is the most promising to lead people to doubt life-oh no, think about life, it must be a program that can establish interaction between AI and people.

   Isn’t this talking about games?

   At least, it can be used as a carrier!

   Thinking like this, Hao Yun stopped taking care of Chen Wenchao. Instead, he opened a blank document and typed a line on it.

   [Outline: Design a game that makes people think about life]

   What kind of scene is most likely to make people think about life?

   The answer is ready to come out~www.ltnovel.com~ Hao Yun thought of the four keywords "mountain", "sheep", "bridge" and "ball" almost without any hesitation.

   As for why he thought of these four keywords, he didn't know why, it was just subconscious intuition.

Maybe……

   Because you were a game designer in your previous life?

   However, considering the expressiveness of the game, these four keywords do not seem to be suitable to play, or the philosophy of life contained is too obscure, so he expanded his vision and typed two words on the document——

  【Cemetery】

   said, the cemetery!

   Birth, old age, sickness and death run through a person's life. Although the starting point is not the same, in the end, it is all a piece of loess.

   What can be closer to the ultimate meaning of life philosophy than the end of life?

   The process of the game doesn’t have to be long, or even fun. After all, he didn’t intend to use it as a product from the beginning, but as a work of competition—or just a piece of art.

   In that case, the rhythm of the game does not need to be considered. You might as well just fast forward to the end, let the player directly act as a dead old man, and then the end of the game is set on the bench in the middle of the cemetery.

  The inspiration that came out of my mind came to my mind. It was the confidence of being a game designer-or an abstract artist in the information age...

   A smile curled up at the corner of Hao Yun's mouth, and he added a few more lines of settings.

   I always felt that the answer to this test question was already in front of him at the moment he typed these few lines of text.

   "Next—"

   "It is realized in program!"
