Chapter 1 Distorts the World of the Tech Tree

Imperial capital.

Chen Mo woke up.

"It feels like I'm going to die suddenly......"

"No, I have to go to bed early tomorrow......"

Chen Mo covered his head in sharp pain and sat up from the bed.

"Recently, I stayed up late and hallucinated, even if I dreamed during the day, why did I still dream at night, it affected my sleep quality very much?"

Chen Mo was still complaining about the quality of his sleep last night, but in the next second, he froze and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Nima, where is this, I crossed over?!"

Chen Mo looked around.

At this time, he was in an unfamiliar room, which looked like a standard room in a hotel. However, this standard room is not very high-end at first glance, except for barely being clean and tidy, there is basically nothing to praise.

There was a large suitcase next to the table in the room, on the table was a special laptop, as thick as a brick, and the screen was also large, which looked heavy but exquisitely made.

Chen Mo had never seen this kind of laptop in his previous life, but if he made up for it, he felt that it would be quite expensive.

After washing his face in the bathroom and looking in the mirror, Chen Mo found that his appearance had not changed, but he had become younger, as if he had returned to four or five years ago, when he had just graduated from college.

Slowly, Chen Mo began to gain memories of the parallel world.

This world is basically ninety percent similar to the one that Chen Mo is familiar with, but the game industry that Chen Mo is most familiar with is very different.

The root of all this lies in the difference in the level of technology.

In this world, I don't know why there has been a series of technological explosions, maybe it is an alien ghost, maybe it is a traverser like Chen Mo, the speed of computer technology development is simply unbelievable, ever-changing, faster than riding a rocket.

Before personal computers were widely available, top researchers had developed supercomputers capable of performing tens of millions of operations per second. Halfway through the revolution in computer technology, VR technology has made a major breakthrough, and the dream of entering the virtual world through a personal game pod has become a reality.

Chen Mo didn't finish half of the journey in his previous life in seventy or eighty years, and this world was directly completed in just three or five years.

The explosion of technology is of course good, but it has also directly led to a break in the gaming industry in this world.

At a time when PC games were not developed, they had suddenly entered the VR era, and those game companies were also studying VR games.

One consequence of this is that without the experience of PC games, these game companies have the technical level of VR games, but the game design concept is still stuck in the Stone Age.

But one thing is good, and that's that the world takes the gaming industry very seriously.

Instead of being regarded as a flood beast or electronic opium as in the previous life, the game was revered as the ninth art, and even the state strongly supported it.

Game designers are no longer IT migrant workers in their previous lives, but have become respected professions that require strong professional skills like doctors, lawyers, and even literary and artistic workers.

As for Chen Mo himself, he is an ordinary student who has just graduated less than a year ago and is ready to devote himself to the game industry.

Strange to say, the world's method of "devoting himself to the game industry" is also very different from Chen Mo's previous life.

……

Chen Mo took a towel to wipe the water stains on his face, came to the window again, and opened the curtains.

In broad daylight, the sun is shining.

August in the imperial capital is really hot, Chen Mo is blowing the air conditioner and looking out the window, just looking at it, he feels that the sun is going to tan pedestrians.

Chen Mo had a feeling that these pedestrians would turn into pools of small sugar people as they walked, and then slowly evaporated.

Chen Mo came to the table.

The laptop on the table, which is as thick as a brick, is the world's highest-end PC, starting at 20,000 yuan.

Chen Mo is a poor student who has just graduated, and he is not a rich second generation, why should he save money for more than half a year to buy such a high-end computer?

Because he was going to use this computer to design games.

That's right, that's another difference in this world. In this world, game designers design a game that doesn't need a programmer to implement.

So who's going to write the code?

The answer is: no coding required. Because there is the most complete game editor in the world, designers can make the game they want by themselves as long as they organize the game design draft and use the game editor according to certain rules.

From casual games to tens of megabytes of large-scale VR games, the super editor can complete them. Of course, the resources and time spent are certainly different.

Unlike the assembly line workers in the previous life, the game designers in this world are extremely charismatic, and their status is almost the same as that of artists.

These designers do not divide their labor and perform their duties according to values, plots, systems, levels, etc., as in their previous lives, but must be omnipotent. A designer who only understands the system and doesn't understand the plot will be despised by insiders.

There are even game designers who are first-rate novelists, first-class painters, like Michelangelo's all-round genius, sculptors, painters, architects, and poets.

Of course, for some super-large VR games, the chief designer will also find some assistants, but he still has absolute authority to decide every detail of the game, and these assistants are not like colleagues, but more like apprentices.

As mentioned earlier, Chen Mo is a young man who wants to devote himself to the game industry.

However, the way to get involved in the game industry is not to apply for a job at a game company, but through another way.

The game editor in this world is completely open, but depending on the identity of the designer, the degree of openness and permissions vary. If you want to enter the game industry, you must design a complete game through the editor yourself and pass the review of a jury of professionals.

In his previous life, Chen Mo had actually obtained the qualification of an entry-level game designer, and as long as he designed a relatively basic casual game, he could automatically become a D-level game designer.

As for why Chen Mo lived in a hotel? Because he signed up for a game design competition in the imperial capital, he needed a quiet environment to complete his design for these two days.

Unfortunately, it may be because of too much stress or staying up too late and dying suddenly.

Chen Mo couldn't help but be speechless: "At a young age, you died suddenly after staying up for two nights?" I'm weak enough. ”

It's no wonder that Chen Mo is under pressure, even in this world, the road of a game designer is not easy to walk.

It's been almost a year since Chen Mo graduated, and he has never been able to find the right way, and the games he has made have not passed the evaluation, although all abilities have reached the entry level, but he has never been able to become a D-level game designer.

If it drags on any longer, there is no money at all, and there are only three ways, either drink the northwest wind, or go home to gnaw on the old, or change careers.

Therefore, Chen Mo also worked hard, hoping to get a good ranking in this game design competition, but the work was not finished yet, and the person was gone.

After expressing three and a half seconds of condolences to another Chen Mo, Chen Mo quickly calmed down.

Isn't it just designing games? This is my old job, as far as the game design concept of this era is concerned, if I don't hang the entire game industry to fight, then I am really baptized by domestic free games in vain.

Chen Mo opened his laptop.

But before that, he decided to order a takeout first.

His stomach was already growling, so in order not to become the first traverser to be starved to death after sudden death, Chen Mo took the mobile phone on the table.

Sure enough, some of the apps in life are much the same. Chen Mo noticed that the mobile phones in the parallel world were also similar to the mobile phones in the previous life, but the configuration was higher.

After ordering a rice bowl and milk tea on a takeaway platform called "What to Eat", Chen Mo calmed down and opened the game editor on his laptop.
