Otherworldly Architect

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

"Dragon Hunter" has finally arrived at the scheduled launch time after another public beta session.

On March 1, "Dragon Hunter" officially opened the account (Hunter Scroll) registration channel and the download of the game itself. At the same time, it unlocked the dragon egg generation area in all areas of the Chaoyang Alliance, and unlocked all dragon raising stages for all players.

Starting from this day, players of the entire Chaoyang Alliance can finally play the full version of "Dragon Hunter"!

In the meantime, one more thing must be mentioned.

Just half a month ago, the Galactic Empire sent a letter to the Blue Star Studio - of course, not in the name of serious diplomacy, but from a culture minister of the Galactic Empire.

The letter was delivered in the name of a private person, but in the upper left corner, a badge of the Milky Way star flower was printed on it—

It is said that the title of this emperor of the Galactic Empire was "Duke of Star Flower" before he ascended the throne.

After he ascended the throne, the former duchy became the land of Wangji under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor; the badge and seal of the star flower naturally became the emperor's personal seal, which was still occasionally used in informal occasions.

The gateway of Chaoyang Alliance has gone through layers of review before finally delivering the letter to the mailbox of Bluestar Studio...

Although it is a "private letter", can it be called an invasion of privacy when the gateway opens and checks it?

Certainly not.

The two sides were so solemn and cautious, but in the content of this letter, the tone seemed very relaxed.

Because it was not actually written by His Majesty the Emperor of the Galactic Empire, but was written by his close ministers after he nodded, so it was just a private seal.

Of course, what it wants to convey is also very clearly written:

His Majesty the Emperor does not want to regard the ancient dragon species as a taboo, just like when he ascended the throne, he did not use his own name as a taboo.

The so-called "taboo", we all know.

If the emperor's surname is "Zhu", the word "Zhu" cannot appear in the articles of the world; if the emperor has the word "Fu" in his name, then people are not allowed to put "Fu" on the door during the festival.

The emperor of the Galactic Empire can abolish the stereotypes and bad habits for so many years. It can be said that he is a very enlightened emperor.

And this letter, to put it more bluntly:

[His Majesty the Emperor doesn't care about avoiding taboos, just use the ancient dragons if you like. We communicate by private letters, which means that we don't have to rise to the level of diplomacy, love it! 】

As soon as this letter was delivered, it was considered that the curse on Blue Star Studio was completely lifted.

What diplomatic envoys, what auditors, what Ministry of Culture, what blogger V... All of them can no longer be shaken to "Dragon Hunter".

This is the most orthodox authorization from the Galactic Empire, and it is also the successor of the ancient dragon species!

It was as if a few civilians were fighting over a dispute over some interests, and they turned into a group fight.

At this time, thunder suddenly broke out, dark clouds rolled, and a calamity-carrying immortal appeared above his head, and with a big wave of his hand, the whole land was split open!

It's not a power on one level at all, right and wrong are divided just like opening up the world.

Since then, no one can talk about the ancient dragon species of "Dragon Hunter" again, and even if there is a rebuke, be careful to be invited to tea that night.

The voices on the Internet suddenly disappeared, and everyone hid in a cowardly manner.

What Heizi and Shui Jun, when they usually sit on the other side of the bank to watch the fire, they are naturally afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

But when such a big thing happened, everyone's heart forgot to beat, and he wished he could get into the cracks of the floor tiles, for fear of being held grudges by Bluestar Studio.

The "masked hero" was ready to file a lawsuit, and even said that he had already beaten his abacus, and wanted to seize the opportunity to be sued by Blue Star this time, and then make some big news.

But as soon as the authorization of the Galactic Empire came out, he almost didn't scare him into peeing his pants on the spot.

When he recovered, he immediately began to actively self-help: no more gold lawyers, no more appeals, no more troubles, and no more journalists!

——And a lawsuit for a fart! Immediately fell to the ground and crawled forward, ready to hug the thigh of the person in charge of Blue Star and cry loudly... Let's see if the other side will be merciful and let him go.

At this time, Blue Star's lawyer was not in a hurry to deal with the matter over there.

At present, everyone is surrounding the letter with the imprint of the star flower, looking up at them one by one.

"Fuck, this is really a letter from the emperor next door??!!"

"It wasn't written by the emperor, it was written by a member of the royal family. It is said that there are thousands of people next door with the blood of the ancient dragon. The emperor has been dealing with all kinds of problems for many days. I guess the emperor may not know about this."

"No matter what, rounding up means the emperor knows our game!!!"

"This letter, the more I look at it, the more it looks like the legendary 'Gold Medal'?"

"Hey, pinch me now, I feel a little unreal, I may faint... ah, I can't breathe..."

"Mom!!! I made a game so that I was under the eyes of the emperor next door! I have no regrets in my life!!"

The old fossil player and the chief designer of Ming have never seen the emperor of the interstellar age.

He was a little cowardly, and poked his boyfriend's hand: "The emperor's letter, do we need to build a room for it?"

Xia Cheng pondered for a while and said: "It's not necessary, it's a personal letter, and it's nominally sent from the 'Xingchenhua Territory', and it has nothing to do with the emperor next door. But you can't just throw it away. I suggest you save it. A trophy or something."

Ming Yan finally stored the letter in a platinum data card and turned it into a sculpture with a specific image.

Then it was placed with the trophy in the cupboard in the middle of the office area.

Across the most advanced bulletproof glass, you can see the golden data card, reflecting diamond-like light under countless small lights, with a line engraved on it:

[In the 40xx year of the Chaoyang Calendar, the Duke of Xingchenhua sent a letter. 】

It really becomes a feeling that Blue Star has achieved an achievement!

If you want to name this achievement, Ming Yan also thought of several names.

——Go up to heaven to hear?

——The game can alarm the Party Central Committee?

- Royal gift of death-free gold medal?

This death-free gold medal instantly made Blue Star Studio a lot bolder.

Ideas that were not dared to be made before are now flooded in designers' setting drafts.

And the proposal about the "Ancient Dragon Race" also reappeared on the discussion table.

Ming Yan held his chin in one hand and pondered for a while, looked at the eyes of the employees who were underwhelmed with love, and said, "In that case, let's make another reward system?"

Everyone almost stood up and shouted long live for him!

Half a month later, "Dragon Hunter" is officially launched, and the new reward and encyclopedia system is launched.

This time the game has a built-in encyclopedia, allowing players to freely inquire about all the dragon species that they have collected information on.

Encyclopedias are not shared among players, but are unlocked step by step according to each player's situation.

Each dragon species has its own home page, which is locked at first.

Players only need to see what the dragon looks like to open the most basic information, including the outline of Jackie Chan's image and the name of the dragon species.

Next, every time this dragon species is observed, the progress will be slowly unlocked.

By obtaining the dragon egg, you can directly unlock the information page of the dragon egg; by raising the dragon egg step by step, you can obtain the information page of each stage in turn.

However, to unlock the encyclopedia page and full information of this dragon species, you need to raise at least one pair of adult dragons, or observe at least 10 adult dragons (of which you also need to have both sexes).

The existence of the encyclopedia simply wants to drive crazy players who are addicted to collecting.

Just imagine, open your own encyclopedia page, only to find that the directory is full of pits: some dragons can already see the thumbnail color map, some dragons are still blurred shadows, and some dragons have not even unlocked the name of the dragon species. !

And there are various types of dragons.

For example, there are five kinds of color dragons: red dragon, black dragon, white dragon, blue dragon, and green dragon. As long as you collect a set of them, you can get the achievement "Colorful Lineup"... and there is a very small probability that the five dragons can summon "colored dragons". "Dragon Mother", an extremely rare and powerful dragon species.

As a result, how many people are eager to collect a set of illustrations.

If you already have four dragon species, then the mood to unlock the last dragon species is definitely extremely urgent, even anxious.

The role of the achievement system in "Dragon Hunter" is basically to open more incubators so that players can raise more dragons at the same time.

Or some special props that can enhance strength.

Of course, the most special set of achievements in it comes from the [Dragon Hunter Contest] series——

[Dragon Proud of the World: Won the first place in the Dragon Hunter Contest, awarded the corresponding title, and received a pair of golden reward dragon eggs. 】

[Flying Dragon in the Sky: Won the second place in the Dragon Hunter Competition, awarded the corresponding title, and received a pair of silver reward dragon eggs. 】

[Royal Dragon in the Wild: Won the third place in the Dragon Hunter Competition, awarded the corresponding title, and received a pair of bronze reward dragon eggs. 】

[Dingcheng Longsheng: Ranked 4th to 10th in the Dragon Hunter Competition, awarded the corresponding title, and randomly obtained a bronze reward dragon egg. 】

[Fish Leaping Dragon Gate: The 11th-30th place in the Dragon Hunter Competition will be awarded the corresponding title. At the same time, you can choose any dragon species (except the reward dragon) to get a pair of dragon eggs. 】

[Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Ranked 31st to 100th in the Dragon Hunter Competition, awarded the corresponding title, and at the same time can choose a dragon species (unlocked in the player's encyclopedia), and get a pair of dragon eggs. 】

Almost on the first day after the official launch of "Dragon Hunter", players have been boiling for the achievements of this series.

[Is the reward dragon a new dragon species? ! ! ! ! Never seen it before! ! ! What kind of prosperous and beautiful dragon species is required to be eligible for the competition reward! 】

[What about the news of the Dragon Hunter Competition? What about news? Guanghui will release rewards to whet your appetite. If you have the ability, you can directly open a registration channel. 】

[This kind of competition should still be a battle, it's all gone, it needs to be an adult dragon. 】

[Just downloaded the game, already ordered a full set of sportswear and sneakers, now waiting to go out to pick up dragon eggs! 】

[Hehe, I bought sneakers three months earlier, my dear son, daddy finally has a chance to see you marry and have children...]

[Receive a reward dragon at a high price, any color will do, and you can also put it on the platform for auction. I have a million dollars ready. 】

[Don't think about it upstairs, according to the urination of Blue Star, the reward dragon must be bound and cannot be traded...]

Indeed, dragon eggs that reward dragons are not tradable.

Unlike other dragon eggs, they can be freely traded before hatching and 1 day after they are picked up.

It is said that it can only be traded on friends and forums. In the future, "Dragon Hunter" will also open the trading market, allowing players from all over the league to trade freely.

Moreover, the reward dragon will definitely hatch safely. There will be no other dragons. If the hatching conditions are not met after the time limit is exceeded, it will become a sick egg, and then a dead egg, which will never hatch again.

Take the designer's words: "The baby that is sent out, of course, needs to be insured."

However, there is no such thing as a unique way, and reward dragons can multiply!

Like other dragon species, reward dragons can either produce pure-blooded dragon eggs from a male and female pair, or can be mixed with other dragon species to give birth to mixed-blooded dragon eggs.

Of course, no matter what kind of dragon egg, there will be no more "insurance" on the body.

The upper limit of the attributes of the reward dragon is of course very high, but it does not break the balance, but is similar to the attributes of other rare dragons.

What's really special about reward dragons should be their skills—

When each bonus dragon grows to the next stage, the probability of acquiring rare skills is increased by 50% than normal.

Mixed-breeds with rewarded dragon blood will also have a 10%-50% probability increase, depending on the relatives of blood.

This is an attribute that is basically ignored by African chiefs, but for elite players who raise dragons in large numbers, it is simply a road to the sky.

When the official website vaguely introduced the characteristics of reward dragons, they even figured out how to "wash attributes"!

Of course, it's too early to talk about the Hunter Tournament.

Most people have just hatched their dragon eggs and have a little time with their little dragons.

The first Hunter Contest was clearly planned to be placed directly on the last day of the Blue Star Carnival——

The Blue Star Carnival has now been forced to stretch to three days. Because Blue Star has more and more games and more and more enthusiastic players, the two-day time has become cramped.

Calculate, around May 20, almost 80 days have passed since the public beta, which is enough for those liver emperors to hatch the eighth batch of dragon eggs.

If you are not in a hurry to catch wild and excellent dragon eggs, but instead pursue the reproductive path of eugenics, then you can nervously catch up with the third generation of pure-blooded dragons to grow into adolescence.

So now, most players are still in a hurry to cultivate their own "generations".

The day after the launch of "Dragon Hunter", the AR game swept away the past decline and made a counterattack on the major mobile game lists.

This game is not the type of free experience and payment in the past, but it pays 30 yuan to download, and then has a built-in paid mall.

There are also no items that disrupt the balance in the mall, and it still adheres to the conscientious style of Bluestar Studio.

On the first day, players shouted on the forum:

[Dad, you forgot to charge again, Dad! ! ! 】

[Dang Da Lan Xing has been working for half a year, and only charges 30 yuan... Even if you are a knight's travel expansion film, you will earn more than that. You will be hungry and thin like this (hoarse voice)! 】

[Please come up with some skin...what? There are nearly 100 dragon species already, and there is no need to use the skin at all? So please, can you make a batch of paid dragon eggs? 】

Very genuine.

It has been a long time since no one persuaded Blue Star to make money so hard, because last year's "Assassin's Way", and earlier "Blue Star Doom", "Soul of Mortal" and other games were all under the spotlight. born.

All the media in the Sixth Star Province are vigorously reporting, and the approximate sales of each game are estimated by professionals.

So far, almost half of the top ten sales are occupied by Blue Star.

The players are very pleased and proud to see this scene, after all, they are one of them.

It's been a long time since I had the opportunity to dislike Blue Star and I won't make money, but——

[Easy to change the nature of the country is difficult to change, alas! Bluestar has been around for so many years, and still can't learn to cheat money, you look at the Dragon Saber next door, even the treasure land of women's market is almost finished! 】

Everyone at Blue Star felt that their fans were really different... kind.

As a lightweight AR game, "Dragon Hunter" itself is not aimed at profit.

In terms of profit, which game can be as legendary as "League of Legends"?

Impossible good cut.

Most games, they are doing it for love, not for money, otherwise they would have done the expansion of "League of Legends" early in the morning...

Although this was not the original intention, the biggest benefit that "Dragon Hunter" can bring to Blue Star should be the government's tax-free policy.

At the beginning of the year, Blue Star took "Dragon Hunter" to sign up for the "offline health campaign" of the Internet Information and Propaganda Department, and received a serial number of 1024.

The programmers are very excited:

"Ah! Perfect integers!"

"Comfortable! Obsessive-compulsive disorder is finally comfortable!"

"Win, I knew we won when I saw the numbers."

Ming Yan slowly spit out a question mark: "...?"

It is rare to see programmers so happy, is it really stable?

On the second day of the official launch, for the first time, everyone did not pay attention to the real-time data on the game platform, but collectively stayed on the background page of the Network Information and Propaganda Department.

On the 24th hour of the launch, the real-time data will be returned to the basket on time.

Yesterday's sixth star province, the per capita number of steps: 4189 steps, the average distance is: 3.1 kilometers.

As a comparison over the same period, when "Dragon Hunter" was not launched the day before yesterday, the average number of steps per person was: 2961, and the average distance was: 1.9 kilometers.

By the way, in yesterday's exercise data, the ratio of running time to walking time increased by an additional 20%.

Moreover, the variance of the step count data is very large. The people who are willing to run more than 5,000 steps are far more than those who were willing to run more than 3,000 steps before.

In other words, the people who are the least willing to exercise are still not moving.

Raising the average score depends on the big guys who run the marathon!

Some of the top 1% of the top scorers even ran a marathon of more than 40 kilometers!

"puff!!!!!"

Everyone who saw the data was terrified enough.

In the interstellar era, people who are willing to run long distances can't be said to be rare, they should be called immortals directly.

Mingyan rubbed his eyes and fell into deep thought: "Is there such an immediate effect? ​​There is a gap of more than a thousand steps... Is there another work that just happened to be launched?"

At this time, the reviewer standing at the back had a very complicated expression.

He took the initiative to come over, handed a tablet, and said, "Looking at the data source, no one dared to compete with you yesterday."

Mingyan took it over and took a look. Yesterday's statistics showed that the number of runs performed by runners playing "Dragon Hunter" while wearing AR devices accounted for 89% of all extra steps.

"..."

That is to say, these extra thousand steps per person are really all for the dragon hunter.

Varian on the side also said cheerfully: "Boss, there were no games released yesterday."

This has been the case for a long time. As long as Bluestar Studio has announced in advance which day it will release a new game, no one in the Sixth Star Province dares to directly attack it.

No need for publicity that day.

Because almost all players will not learn about new games through the advertisements of the day, most of them are waiting early, and many people also set alarms and memos.

So the recent Blue Star, as long as the game was released in the week, basically it is basically equivalent to everyone finally taking a vacation.

This time, when the Dragon Hunter's data came out, everyone was not surprised, but they were still jumping for joy.

Because Mingyan clapped his hands, after seeing them look over, he smiled and said: "Well, today we ranked first in the 'offline health exercise' promotion list, in order to celebrate everyone's hard work for half a year has paid off— —”

"Get the red envelope!!!!" Someone screamed.

Ming Yan said helplessly: "Yes, let's go get the red envelope."

Everyone bowed their heads happily again, opened the Bluestar's internal APP and began to receive red envelopes.

"?"

The censor standing at the back stood on tiptoe and craned his neck to look at the screen of the person next to him.

As a result, the other party gave him a blank look.

The examiner didn't care, because he was really curious now: Are Bluestar's red envelopes sent directly on the APP? How much did each person send? Will the game be released every time it goes online, or will it be released only after making money?

Then the censors see it.

The mediocre artist next to him, and a junior staff member who has just come in for a year, was smashed by a red envelope when he opened the app.

The numbers inside made the inspector swallow.

Without caring about his own face, he asked, "You guys have this red envelope... do you have it in every game?"

The clerk said, "How can it be possible!"

The examiner breathed a sigh of relief.

I heard the staff say: "Of course, it will be posted every month. Like I also participated in the production of "Assassin's Way" last year, so I will also receive monthly "Assassin's Way" according to my contribution. Revenue bonus. This red envelope, as long as I still work in Blue Star, will be sent to me until I retire, and it will be pursued to me after retirement.”

Examiner: "..."

——Humph, let you drag in front of you, slap you in the face now!

The staff felt refreshed, and deliberately opened his red envelope from last month, wanting to show him off.

The clinker inspector no longer looked at his mobile phone, but stared at the back of Chief Ming's head in front of him, and continued to ask, "Is there still a shortage of people in that kind of job where you... do testing?"

staff:"……"
