No-Fishing Zone?
A group of people looked at Jiang Bo, their expressions suddenly bewildered, eyes filled with disbelief.
Ma Shangfei couldn't hold it in any longer.
"President Jiang, can you really fish in a No-Fishing Zone?"
"Isn't this name a bit sensitive?"
"Players fish from the Village Entrance Wild River all the way to the wetlands, and the final map opens up to a No-Fishing Zone."
"Isn't this a bit off? Shouldn't it be the ocean?"
Seeing everyone's bewildered expressions.
Jiang Bo waved his hand.
"I know what you're worried about."
"But the No-Fishing Zone I'm talking about isn't about encouraging players to poach or fish recklessly."
"No-Fishing means banning destructive fishing activities."
"Like electric fishing, blast fishing, net fishing, illegal catching."
"But it doesn't mean all waters are completely off-limits for regulated recreational fishing."
"No-Fishing doesn't mean No-Fishing!"
"Haven't you heard of this?"
"For the entire ecosystem, anglers have a very limited destructive impact!"
"In fact, for a truly rule-abiding angler, they even contribute to fishing activities."
"Since it's the final map, it naturally has to give players a real shock."
"Don't you think fishing in a strictly regulated water area would be a very interesting thing?"
"The design of this map will be the key content of this game!"
"I will personally be responsible for this part! You'll know how it's designed during the subsequent development."
"Alright, stop staring at each other."
Jiang Bo clapped his hands, breaking the silence in the office, and directly issued the development order.
"The initial version will have these five water areas, plus our existing fish behavior logic model, the development cycle is very short."
"Old Ma, the underlying framework is yours. Little Lan, the art style should focus on realism, make sure the water reflections and weather changes are well done. Guangqi, fill in the basic values for various fish species."
"Let's get moving."
Jiang Bo walked to the window, looking at the bright sunshine outside, his tone relaxed.
"Our game is selling so well, the netizens are getting impatient!"
"As a responsible game company, we have to quickly present new works to properly repay their enthusiasm, right?"
"Let's get developing."
"..."
Everyone looked at each other, but how could it be the same? Clearly, the netizens were waiting for "I Picked Up the Imperial Jade Seal!"
They glanced at the "Great Angler" on the whiteboard, and for a moment, they all fell silent.
What else could they do?
The boss had spoken, and even the most core underlying code was ready, so naturally, there was no hesitation.
"Understood!"
"We guarantee to complete the task!"
...
With the perfect underlying code provided by the system, the entire development process was unbelievably smooth.
Initially, Ma Shangfei was somewhat skeptical about the so-called ancestral code Jiang Bo mentioned.
After all, code isn't something you can just pick up like a stone on the roadside. Different people have different coding habits, and often, taking over someone else's work is more painful than writing it from scratch.
However, when Ma Shangfei actually opened the layers of code files in the compiler.
He was completely stunned in front of the screen.
"This code...!"
"Was this really written by a human?!"
The more Ma Shangfei looked, the more shocked he became. As an experienced programmer, he had seen all sorts of messy code, but this fish AI model in front of him was like a perfect work of art!
The logic was so tight it was terrifying! There was no redundant nonsense!
The interface was clear and concise, the encapsulation flawless, and even the comments after each line of code were written so clearly, it was like teaching him how to call it step by step!
Moreover, the range of variables included in this model directly overturned Ma Shangfei's understanding of fishing games.
Too powerful!
This level of model, even big companies might not be able to produce it!
So, the entire development process accelerated once again!
Meanwhile, on the internet, the popularity of "I Picked Up the Imperial Jade Seal!" not only didn't decline over time but showed a trend of breaking into the mainstream as more big streamers joined.
The sales on the Deep Blue Platform quietly surpassed the fifty thousand mark.
Every day, countless new players were lured in by the streamers' funny clips, spending ten bucks to play as a local emperor in the urban village for a few hours, only to crash into the "coming soon" black screen.
In major forums, the players' grievances grew deeper, and the calls for updates grew louder and louder.
[When is the update coming?! My roommate's dying wish was to see the inside of the Xinghai Group's building!]
[Is Zhaoxi Games going bankrupt? After selling so many copies, at least release an announcement!]
[If there's no update soon, I'm really going to follow the internet line and smash the glass!]
[You didn't really just make this much, did you?]
Faced with the overwhelming public opinion online, Zhaoxi Games' official account maintained a cool silence.
The less they spoke, the more anxious the players became.
And Jiang Bo's backstage anticipation points were jumping at a terrifying speed every day in this atmosphere of full internet attention.
A few days later.
The Zhaoxi Games official account, which had been playing dead, suddenly released a dynamic.
No pictures, no extra nonsense.
Just a few simple lines of text.
[Thank you for waiting. Zhaoxi Games' brand new work "Great Angler" will be officially launched on the Deep Blue Platform at 3 PM tomorrow.]
[Game Name: "Great Angler"]
[Type: Casual, Fishing, Single-player]
[Stay tuned]
Soon, the few players who followed Zhaoxi Games' Weibo fell into a temporary brain freeze.
Everyone's eyes were glued to the screen, reading that short line of text over and over again.
No typos.
The sentences were smooth.
But when combined, why was it so hard to understand?
What is "Great Angler"?
Immediately, the comment section was filled with question marks.
This screen full of question marks represented the indescribable bewilderment of all the players at that moment.
[Wait, what? Did I read that wrong? Brand new work?! Weren't you supposed to release the full version of "Imperial Jade Seal"!]
[Fishing game? I fish your grandpa! Who wants to play a fishing game!]
[Wait, let me get this straight. We've been urging you for so long for the full version of "I Picked Up the Imperial Jade Seal!", and you came up with a fishing game?]
[Indeed, if the development team had a little less creativity, the game would have a little more life!]
[Buddy, I asked you to expand the territory, not to cast a fishing rod!]
[You're going in the wrong direction! Did you get the focus wrong!]
[You haven't filled the last pit, and now you're opening a new one?]
[Zhaoxi Games: We don't produce happiness, we're just movers of unresolved feelings.]
[Stay tuned? Again with the stay tuned! Damn it!]
The entire internet of players exploded.
Who could withstand this!
In various game groups, the voices condemning Zhaoxi Games rose one after another.
Many players felt they had been greatly betrayed.
They finally found a somewhat interesting game, and you're not continuing it! You're going off track!
...
On the other side, at the Soundwave Live platform.
Chi Cheng had just started his stream, ready to continue his suffering, when the bullet comments flooded in.
[Chi Bro, go check it out! Zhaoxi Games released a dynamic!]
[The sneaky devs finally showed up, but something seems off with the development!]
[Chi Bro, your Great E Empire is truly doomed, the developers have gone fishing!]
Chi Cheng was momentarily stunned, then his spirits lifted.
"What's going on? Did Zhaoxi Games release a sequel?"
"Great! Our urging wasn't in vain! I knew it, after selling so many copies, if they didn't update, it would be like throwing money away!"
Chi Cheng, excited, quickly opened the webpage to search for Zhaoxi Games' official account.
"Come, let me see, has the Old Commercial Street map opened? Can my army finally set out..."
The voice abruptly stopped.
The smile on Chi Cheng's face completely froze.
He stared at the brief dynamic, mouth slightly open.
The bullet comments erupted.
[Hahaha, look at Chi Bro's expression, it's exactly like mine just now!]
[Laughter transfer technique!]
[Chi Cheng: This high-level game, I can't keep up with the developers' thought process.]
"No..."
"What on earth is Zhaoxi Games up to? They're going down the wrong path!"
