Chapter 725: 409
It wasn’t just him, Huang Ping and Lin Nan were also experiencing insomnia.
Fang Cheng’s technical expertise was trustworthy, but the previous discussion had clearly presented many technical difficulties, and Huang Ping at least couldn’t figure out how to solve them.
In his understanding, such discussions often meant letting one’s imagination run wild, continuously brainstorming ideas.
If one-tenth of the ideas discussed in the meeting were implemented, it would be considered decent, even if the boss’s AI technology was masterfully used, it probably still wouldn’t be enough.
Moreover, Lin Nan had proposed a feature that most game designers dream of achieving: “wishing for something and making it so.” Implementing this feature would require an extremely profound understanding of AI technology, which is likely not easy to accomplish.
All night long, Huang Ping pondered how to implement these challenging points raised by the boss, resulting in a sleepless night.
Upon waking, he came to the studio with dark circles under his eyes, only to find Xiao Douzi and Lin Nan wearing the same expression.
After a bitter smile, Huang Ping decided that no matter what the demo created by the boss looked like, he would praise it and then do his best to make revisions.
After all, they were ideas that they had discussed, and no matter how difficult, they had to be completed.
Finally, when Fang Cheng arrived, Huang Ping couldn’t wait to take the USB drive handed to him and started playing the game.
As the game started, an aged yet clear voice rang out: “My name is Cheng Tianhua, an elderly man from Huaxia. I still remember the morning I first boarded a cruise ship…”
The scene shifted and the cruise ship began to appear. Huang Ping found that the perspective had switched to first-person, and the height difference between himself and the people around him made him realize he had become a child on the cruise ship.
A middle-aged man with an indistinct face stood in front of him, rubbing his head and saying, “Don’t move from here, I’m going to buy some oranges.”
“Taking advantage of me as soon as you come up,” said Huang Ping with a laugh.
“Hmm, what advantage?”
Huang Ping felt his head being vigorously rubbed, and the man had already left to buy oranges below.
Watching the man leave, Huang Ping realized that the man had reacted to his words, which meant the game could interact with NPCs through a microphone, and NPCs could respond accordingly.
However, this feature was already standard for Fang Cheng Studio, so he wasn’t too surprised, but continued to observe his surroundings.
Although this was the deck of a yacht, the scene was much more magical than he had imagined.
He saw people moving goods onto the ship from the dock, fierce white lions caged in unreliable-looking enclosures, glancing with predatory eyes at nearby passengers.
An Indian from the White Elephant Country was charming snakes, but his tune was unreliable, and he nearly got bitten several times.
It seemed there was also a circus of eccentrics, with all sorts of odd people moving around on the deck, which Huang Ping found astonishing.
Before he knew it, Huang Ping had left his original spot and wandered deeper.
It wasn’t until the ship’s whistle blew that he remembered his father in the game had said he would buy him oranges.
Running back to the stern in a hurry, he saw the ship slowly nearing the dock, and the man who had rubbed his head earlier was standing at the bow, holding up a basket full of oranges, looking bewildered.
He didn’t know what to do but, when he saw the ship slowly pulling away, he suddenly threw the oranges with all his might towards Huang Ping.
Several hit the deck and fell into the water, but one finally landed in Huang Ping’s hands.
Seeing his son finally catch an orange, the man broke into a smile, shouting, “Very sweet!”
Looking at the reddish-orange fruit in his hand, Huang Ping suddenly felt an emptiness.
Just now, he should have waited a bit longer.
