Rebirth of the Game Pioneer

Chapter 163 "Dyson Sphere Project" Internal Test

Wen Liang is a graduate student at Teito University. He studied applied physics at university and polymer materials and engineering at graduate school. He previously worked for a domestic automobile company as a technical research engineer.

How to put it this way, the salary is indeed quite good, but the working hours are far more exaggerated than 996. 996 is only when you are not too busy, and 917 is the norm when you are really busy.

When he first entered, Wen Liang was still a young man with great ambitions and high morale. After half a year of class, he turned into a walking zombie with tired eyes and numbness.

Such a big change shocked his parents when he returned home for the New Year.

Seeing her son in this state, Wen Liang's mother was so distressed that she burst into tears on the spot.

The old couple refused to let him continue to work in the original company even though they were beaten to death. They would rather Wenliang find a company with lower wages than let Wenliang take his life to make money.

The Wen family can be considered a well-off family in a second-tier city. As long as Wen Liang doesn't marry a fairy whose betrothal gift is hundreds of thousands, doesn't buy a two-hundred-square-meter house in the second ring road of a first-tier city, and doesn't buy a million-dollar brand name. Car, the family actually doesn’t have much burden.

During the Chinese New Year, there was a hot search for the original intention year-end bonus system. Wen Liang's parents were also concerned about this and learned a lot of information.

They know that Chuxin's treatment is very generous, not only is the salary high, but the working environment is good, the company from the boss to the employees are all young people, they don't work overtime, and the year-end bonus is frighteningly generous.

In contrast, they increasingly felt that their son's current leader of the company was inappropriate.

After all, Teito University is the leading university among domestic universities. The old couple both advised Wenliang to give it a try.

Although Wen Liang was quite excited, he was quite socially intimidated and felt that as a non-game major, he would have no chance at all if he applied for the job.

But he was eventually persuaded by his parents. One of the reasons for their persuasion was that he loved playing games, and turning his hobby into a job was a wonderful thing. The other reason was that not all companies today value learning. Ability and stress tolerance?Liang Liang has no shortage of these two abilities. The former is quite convincing with just the words "Teito University", while the latter only says that 917 lasted for a month in the original company and there is no need to say anything else.

With anxiety and expectation, he quit his job when he returned to the company after Wenliang Year, and returned to the imperial capital half a year later.

Wen Liang is still quite confident in his professional abilities, but for the first time in the interview, what is the use of his professional abilities?

Therefore, he was afraid of society and did not submit his resume immediately. He planned to conduct on-site inspections and observations before making any plans.

After all, if you want to submit a resume, you must have a position to apply for. Chuxin has not yet announced its recruitment plan during the Chinese New Year. If you directly submit a resume with a blank look, there is a high probability that it will be lost. It is better to know yourself beforehand and make more preparations for a favorite position. Maybe there will be recruitment information just in time during this period. After all, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

In fact, Wenliang had already arrived in the imperial capital on February 2rd. He ran to the Chuxin experience store full of expectations, but found that the store was closed. When he took a closer look, the notice posted on the door clearly stated that it would not open until February 3th.

This depressing episode made Wen Liang, who had always been mild-tempered and rarely uttered curse words, unable to help but curse. The stark contrast was before his eyes, and even he felt that his previous company was simply inappropriate.

He found a nearby hotel to stay in. He didn't go out and wander around in the past few days while waiting for Chuxin to open. Instead, he stayed in the hotel and looked up the relevant information about Chuxin Mutual Entertainment in detail.

As Chuxin has gradually entered the public's field of vision from the unknown state of a well-known game company, and Gu Feng, the founder himself is legendary, there are a lot of information about Chuxin on the Internet. All the theatrical performances Clivia participated in in college can be found.

The more Wen Liang got to know him, the more he admired this legendary boss who was younger than himself. He was talented, courageous, visionary, well-organized, and more humane. Who wouldn't love such a boss?
After finally opening the store, Wen Liang came early.

As a socially fearful person who was embarrassed to leave the supermarket without buying anything, Wen Liang didn't last for half a minute when he went in and asked Wanyi to top up 100 yuan with a voice as loud as a gnat and a hot face, and then he seemed to run away without looking back. I quickly entered the PC area and found a seat next to the load-bearing pillars. It was far away from the aisle and felt full of security.

After playing "Plants vs. Zombies" all morning, he went out to have lunch, and after playing for a while, he heard a notification that the new game was launched for internal testing.

As a top student majoring in physics, Wen Liang did not rush to the front desk to watch the promotional video like others. He knew the Dyson sphere theory.

It was precisely because he knew that he immediately became interested in the so-called "Dyson Sphere Project".

Without any hesitation, Wen Liang decisively restarted the computer.

After restarting the computer, Wen Liang quickly found an extra game in the game list.

The five characters "Dyson Sphere Project" are also written in the middle of the game icon. The bottom of the screen is a very futuristic city, and the top looks vaguely like the sun.

Just looking at the icon, this "Dyson Sphere" seems to be the "Dyson Sphere" he thought.

Wen Liang pushed his glasses gently with his left hand, licked his lips with his tongue, and couldn't wait to open the game.

The menu interface is not too different from the menu interface of most games. Wen Liang just glanced at it and directly selected "New Game".

After entering the game, there is an interface of "setting the destination". In the middle of the interface, there seems to be a coordinate map of the starry sky. There are some dots of different colors and sizes in the picture, and there are some line segments connecting the different dots.

Just looking at the picture, Wen Liang was confused.

Moving his eyes upward, Wen Liang noticed that there were three options that could be set.

The first one is "Star Cluster Seed", followed by an input box, I have no idea what it is used for.

The second one is "Number of Stars", which is a horizontal slider. By default, it is on the far right and displays "64".Based on this information, Wen Liang probably guessed what the dots below meant.

The third one is "Resource Multiplier", which is also a horizontal slider. It stops in the middle left position and displays "1X".

Wen Liang continued to observe and found that on the right side of the coordinate chart were the meanings of each color dot and the number of the dots.

For example, red M-type stars, orange K-type stars...

As you can see from the annotations here, in addition to the 7 types of stars, the coordinate diagram should also include 1 neutron star, 2 white dwarfs and 1 black hole.

In addition, there are three options below the coordinate chart, namely "Random", "Start Game", and "Return".

Randomly generated maps?Wen Liang smiled, directly increased the resource multiplier to the maximum, which was "infinite", and then pressed "Start Game".

Wen Liang's favorite game is strategy games. Although he has played all the games produced by Chuxin, his favorite is "Plants vs. Zombies".

The reason why he likes this kind of game is because he really likes the process of getting a sense of accomplishment from the game by using his brain.

Because of this, his way of playing games may be different from ordinary people.

Take "Dyson Sphere Project" as an example. Most people may choose the default start when playing it for the first time.

But Wenliang doesn't. He likes to experience the game content as completely as possible on the lowest difficulty level. Only after he has fully understood the game mechanics and core gameplay and roughly summarized some skills will he challenge the higher difficulty level.

This may have something to do with his limited time for playing games.

Whether he was studying or working, Wenliang's time for playing games was very limited, so he had long been accustomed to using every minute he spent playing games as efficiently as possible.

Take Dead Cells as an example. It’s the same as clearing five cells. Players with strange operation skills like to challenge the limits and conquer the world with a cursed blade, while Wen Liang prefers to use the best strategies and the simplest brainless operations to solve problems. You will never be polite to monsters when you are crushing them with equipment, and you will never waste any time where you can skip class.

If you are making videos, the former is a show-off, full of barrages "worshiping the great god", and only a handful of people can learn from it; the latter is a strategy-oriented, mindless copying of homework, and most players can do it.
