Otherworldly Architect

After negotiating with IPP, with Xia Cheng's full support, relevant agreements and procedures are being carried out quickly.

Mingyan immediately posted a message on his blog, saying that "The Story of Hachiko" will be officially launched on the IPP platform.

The content of the game itself is still permanently free, but it has joined the charity channel. Anyone who donates to the "Pitto Rescue Foundation" can receive a Hachiko Medal; those who are able can choose to order Hachiko dolls offline.

Whether online or offline, all profits from "The Story of Hachiko" will go directly to the foundation to rescue pitots.

In the end, Mingyan also added the hashtag #SaveBitodog#.

As soon as the news was posted, there was a heated discussion on the entire Internet, and a large number of players, fans and pitot lovers were forwarding it.

Mingyan's blog immediately gathered the power of public opinion on the Internet, and from the scattered discussions, it condensed into a rope.

Even the first batch of official media wrote articles praising Mingyan, even calling him "the conscience of a local game architect".

Ming Yan was deeply ashamed and did not continue watching.

With the increase in the number of players' reposts and the generous praise from the media, the popularity of this small game continues to rise, and donations are also pouring into public welfare projects.

At the same time, the spontaneous behavior of the players also caused the sales of pitots in various kennels to suddenly increase rapidly, and even quadrupled in just a few days.

Countless kennels learned the news, and they voiced their voices on the Internet to express their gratitude and further popularize the players.

Charitable funds are managed by foundations, who ensure that funds are used transparently and fairly. In this highly information-based era, it is hard to see major corruption cases.

At the same time, Mingyan woke up and received a few pennants...

He was having breakfast while his adoptive father was watching the news.

As soon as the door opened, I saw the adoptive mother with a strange face and a pile of pennants in her hand. She walked in and said, "Ming Yan, this is something sent to you."

Ming Yan took a look at the top pennant and wrote a letter—

[Save my dog's life, the merit is boundless. 】

"puff!"

Clearly spit out rice.

He coughed and hurriedly cleared the table.

Ming Yan walked over and saw that most of these pennants were sent by the kennel.

Over the years, the kennels that are willing to accept pitots and rescue them with all their strength have had a very difficult time.

And this public welfare campaign that Mingyan unintentionally triggered, let them find a new chance of life like a long drought.

When I first looked at the pennant, Ming Yan was quite embarrassed.

But after reading it one by one, he sighed with some emotion.

Whenever and wherever, there are such good people who do not ask for anything in return, doing their best to carry out a kind and just cause.

Even the owner of many kennels has gone bankrupt and still has his furry children, and spares no effort to find a suitable new family for them.

When these pennants were put away, the news happened to broadcast this incident.

The host was beaming and a little moved. This kind of non-governmental public welfare activity is a very face-lifting behavior, which can illustrate the civic quality of the Sixth Star Province.

The adoptive father, who was watching the news, was still stunned.

He didn't know that this game was made by Ming Yan, but only seeing that Blue Star was praised as "Conscience Studio", he looked back at Ming Yan and said, "This... This game can have such a high evaluation?"

Mingyan smiled and said, "Yes, some things have nothing to do with form. As long as it does not violate morality, anything that can be accepted by people is a good work; anything that can touch people is a good art."

…

Ming Yan's schedule for the day is: an appointment with Varian Wrynn.

This well-named art boss finally made a decision after several days of deliberation.

The two ended up meeting at the nearest coffee shop.

I don't know why, it seems that IT practitioners of all eras like to talk about things in cafes.

Could it be because... the programmer's veins are coffee?

At this moment, the cafe is very lively, and there are many entrepreneurs talking loudly and trying their best to sell their ideas.

Varian and Mingyan sat by the window, and the mechanical maid served them a cup of coffee.

Varian's eyes were calm and he said, "I'm sorry, but I still decided to decline the position at Blue Star Studios."

Ming Yan was a little regretful and asked, "Is it because the studio's background is not enough?"

"There's a factor in that too," Varian sighed. "More importantly, I'm not young anymore. My wife recently tested positive, we're both in our forties, and I still have a mortgage. Ten years to pay. If I met you ten years earlier, maybe I still have the physical strength to fight and use more energy to exchange more money... But now, what I need is a more stable job. I Accepting a slightly lower but stable job that allows working from home, but having a hard time taking a losing gamble and starting all over again — you can see what I mean.”

The suffering of middle-aged men.

That is, there are seniors and juniors, everyone is counting on him, but no one can count on him.

He can't be willful, he can't simply entertain, and he can't pursue his dreams.

Mingyan understood it very well, and said, "It's okay, we can sign a labor contract. If you are willing to do outsourcing tasks, we will also have opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Varian nodded gratefully.

The two were planning to continue reading the labor contract when something unexpected happened.

Two men in suits walked in outside the cafe.

They looked around looking for a seat, so clearly they were the first to spot Varian before they found them.

The two looked at each other, and one of them walked over and said with a smile, "Yo, Varian, there are only two seats left for you, let us sit."

Varian looked up, frowned immediately, and said, "Xiao Luo, Xiao Li."

Ming Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "Who are you two?"

Varian said solemnly, "My... ex-colleagues."

The two men chatted on their own, as if no one else was there, but every word was digging into Varian's ears.

"What are you talking about with Varian, let the boss know he'll be unhappy."

"Afraid of him? I have been in the company for almost ten years, and there is no one to protect him. As soon as I persuade him to quit, I will automatically retire. If I don't fight for my options, I will be a coward."

"Hey, I heard that he didn't hand over the new art team leader?"

"If you don't hand over, you must want to wait for reconciliation and get another sum of money. Who is rare, don't all the computers remain-"

As he said this, Varian's face gradually turned red.

Holding the coffee cup in one hand, he endured.

Until I heard the two people beside me say nonchalantly—

"Wow, everything was dug out of the computer?"

"The old man is very witty. He has already left a back door in his computer. This kind of elm head just thinks about the law, it's really stupid like a dead pig."

"That's okay. Everything he did during his tenure must still be there. It's not a loss for us to leave."

"It's not a loss, I also found two new original paintings! Guess what, this person secretly used the company's computer to paint during his lunch break, and he still hasn't handed it in. But the painting is not bad, the new team leader said that it is suitable to be a BOSS—"

"boom!"

Varian finally couldn't bear it anymore, got up and patted the table, and whispered: "Enough! That's what I did during my break, and the copyright is still in my own hands! You have no right to use it!"

The former colleague smiled and said, "You say that rest time is rest time? It's clearly because you were not serious when you were at work, and you did it secretly. The company still has surveillance video. Besides, you used the company's resources to Painting-"

Varian was furious and said: "This is a Q version of the character design I made based on the image of me and my wife. I can't do it during working hours, and I can't leave it to you! I don't plan to use it for commercial purposes at all! You guys This is blatant infringement!"

"You two, it's enough." Ming Yan said lightly, "This is in a public place."

The two colleagues seemed to notice the existence of Ming Yan and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you."

Ming Yan turned the pen in his hand and said, "But I am Varian's new employer and his friend. It is impossible for you to sully Varian's reputation in public or private."

"Yo, did you find your next home so soon?" one of them said, "Find a little white face to take care of you, are you in a hurry?"

Mingyan smiled and said, "No matter how bad the Blue Star Studio is, at least it's not a mud pit."

He was comparing Varian's former company to a mud pit.

But the expressions of the two changed, but for a while they couldn't refute because of surprise.

Blue Star Studio is now a household name. Because it is still a local company, at least eight out of ten players on this planet can blurt out the words "Minecraft".

At least in this month, if you want to compete with the Blue Star Studio, it will be a slap in the face.

Varian was kicked out of the old company, and he was a bereaved dog. How could he be able to catch up with the most popular dark horse in such a short period of time?

They can't figure it out.

"It's just... just a newly established newcomer studio..." Someone whispered unconvincingly.

Mingyan turned the cap off and said, "If the two of you want to go on talking, just stay and discuss in court."

This time, their faces changed completely, and they said, "Why? Just because we had a seat and chatted?"

"It's just what you said just now." Ming Yan said, "This is a recording pen, and I will hand it over to the professional lawyer team. If I were you, I would immediately go back and discuss with the 'boss' how to face the next step. infringement suit.”

"You, you actually recorded!"

Ming Yan spread his hands and said mischievously, "Yes!"

One of them wanted to say something, but the other one hurriedly covered his mouth.

At this moment, it was too much to say, and the two hurriedly glared at Varian, then got up and walked outside the cafe.

The atmosphere of the remaining two people was very awkward.

Varian hesitated, looking at Mingyan's pen.

"Don't worry, I carry this pen all the time, it's definitely not aimed at you." Ming Yan explained, "Because I recently wanted to record some musical inspiration, you know, that feeling is fleeting. So I will carry a voice recorder with me and hum something when I think of it, so I can record it anyway.”

Varian's nervous expression visibly softened, and after a while, he sighed with a wry smile.

"I'm really afraid of everything, a coward." He said mockingly.
