She raised her arms and called out to the senior authors, and immediately many bigwigs responded and announced milestones of rebellion.
Qin Tiantian not only participated in the competition himself, but also brought his relatives and friends to register. In total, there were dozens of low- and middle-level authors, 11 secret-level authors, 2 god-level authors, and several editors.
Of course, judging from their composition, we can also tell that most of them come here as a group of friends and family to sightsee and cheer, and the so-called book-opening competition is just for fun.
But no matter what, Maokanshu's DND million-dollar essay contest quickly gained fame.
No. 404, Beihai Villa.
Li Xiaomeng sat up in shock from his dying illness. When he saw the emails from the authors coming in like snowflakes, he burst into tears of gratitude and was speechless.
Damn it, if so many big guys participated in the essay contest,
——Then isn’t it humiliating for her to win the award?!
This morning, when I was receiving personal instruction from my mentor, I met a silly senior who was 1.6 meters tall. She was very cute and a very nice person. She was small, soft, and fragrant. She frowned cutely, smiled cutely, and walked cutely. In short, she was cute.
After leaving the instructor, I went to eat hot pot with my senior. She chose the extra spicy soup base, which was very, very spicy. I didn't have much experience and accidentally got a stomachache from the spiciness. Fortunately, I brought some stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets, so I ate two in a sweat. But I didn't expect that the stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets actually promote gastrointestinal peristalsis. My stomach, which was already suffering from acid reflux, started to move, and I was immediately sent from downtown Chongqing to the ghost town of Fengdu County in pain.
When I woke up again, I was in the hospital. I heard that my senior sister said that she drove me there. She is such a nice person!
The senior seemed to feel a little guilty about the pot bottom incident and promised to help me revise my paper. Tomorrow, she will teach me how to revise it in the library. Because my paper is about to reach the deadline, I really want to thank the senior! Senior is so great!
So tomorrow I will go to meet my supervisor with my lovely senior sister, submit my paper together, and go out to play together. The time may not be enough, so I specially asked for a day off.
please!
Red bean paste private Marseille!

Although it sounds a bit fake, it is true that the deadline for the paper is approaching.
——It’s true that I want to take leave!
Chapter 221 [Payment System and Career Freedom]
The wall-mounted TV is broadcasting news programs 24 hours a day.
The news being broadcast now is about new breakthroughs in AR, or so-called augmented reality technology.
The general meaning is that due to the advancement and application of AI, the new AR equipment of the Augmented Reality Technology Research Institute under the Longyuan Financial Foundation can already capture real images and reshape and transform real images.
To give a simple example, the skyscrapers that are intact in reality can be seen being destroyed by monsters as long as you put on Long Yuan's glasses. This new technical equipment not only allows you to see monsters that have been designed in advance, but also allows you to see skyscrapers being destroyed and collapsed, and even triggering a chain reaction, such as crashing to the ground and smashing passing cars.
These animations are all calculated in real time by AI.
A bit awesome.
It's just useless.
The introduction given in the news was quite subtle, saying that it "requires large computing power to support it." But after seeing how much Tianxin Anti-Cheat spent on it, which was over 2 million per month, Gu Qingshi could hardly imagine how much this level of AI real-time calculation would cost...
Moreover, according to the nature of Longyuan Finance, the wool comes from the sheep, and this computing power expenditure must be borne by the users.
Maybe a membership fee of a few dozen dollars a month?
Gu Qingshi drank some ginger candy cola, and her mind gradually became more active.
The weather is getting warmer and colder, and it is the time to take care of your body - even though Gu Qingshi is only 19 years old. Health preservation should start from childhood.
The girl stretched her waist, lay on the table, holding the mouse in her right hand and clicking randomly on the screen.
There was nothing to do with Gu Qingshi during this period.
The development department is intensively carrying out the first comprehensive access test of the "Tianxin Anti-Cheat System". Yesterday, there were a full thirty key nodes in the work.
Thanks to the efforts of the Development Department, more than 4,000 cheating players were caught!
But at this time, Development Department 2, under the leadership of Xu Qiusheng, was struggling with the complex plot branches and optimization work. And Development Department 3 was also following the great Sanzang Baibai to conquer the star sea.
Tang Manyan was dealing with the Linlang plan with a headache.
Ai Li certainly couldn't swallow this humiliation. Recently, she has been frequently contacting the shortlisted teams of the Linlang Project, and she is suspected of poaching talents.
At the same time, next door Pei E was discussing the development of Beihai Villa with the municipal leaders. They had invested a full 500 million yuan.
As for Li Xiaomeng, well... Li Xiaomeng is still the same Li Xiaomeng.
I am your good friend Stan, join me as we chase the city of dreams...
It smells bad.
Although the taste is a bit yellowish and black, Gu Qingshi's mental state is indeed similar to this.
Well, it’s better for people to be busy.
Gu Qingshi sighed and turned over again.
"Everyone is busy, busy, hey, it's better to be busy..."
The girl sighed.
However, things did not go as planned. Not long after, Gu Qingshi was awakened by the tapping sound of small boots.
Li Xiaomeng pushed the door open and walked in, marching in two steps with a few clicks, then straightened his German Empire pointed helmet. Two horsetails hung down from both sides of the back of the leather helmet. He saluted with his right hand and immediately straightened the well-proportioned and slender branch he had picked up outside the door with his left hand.
"Hi! Good morning, Miss Prime Minister!"
Gu Qingshi didn't know where to start complaining.
Well, the cosplay is pretty good, except for the gun which is full of flaws - guns are banned in China, so it's understandable.
"This is an office, not your exclusive comic convention." Gu Qingci pointed at Li Xiaomeng's winter clothes and corrected her, "Remember to wear less next time. The heater is on in the room..."
Li Xiaomeng is good at making things happen.
Gu Qingshi knew this very early on.
But it is really rare in the world that Li Xiaomeng can do the same thing 365 days a year without repeating himself.
However, Li Xiaomeng did not come here simply to show off her COS. She took off her black coat and took out a USB flash drive.
"Sister Xiaobai and the others had a meeting at Xunyin, and asked me to give you the report from the meeting. By the way, I bought two cups of milk tea while I was there."
After that, Li Xiaomeng took out a large insulated bag with tin foil inside from his coat as if he was taking out a four-dimensional pocket.
Gu Qingshi ignored the content of their meeting and asked curiously, "Didn't Sister Xiaobai start her own business? Why is she selling milk tea again? Is it because they haven't found an office space yet?"
Although Polaris Technology was established temporarily, it has the involvement of Yungong Network, an industry giant. They can't still be working online, right?
Li Xiaomeng scratched his head and suddenly realized that he was still wearing a helmet, so he took it off. When he took off the helmet, his hair, wet with sweat and close to his ears, was exposed.
"I heard that the office area is still under renovation. The building opposite to Xunyin, Building 1 on the first floor is the territory of Polaris. Well, since it is very close, Sister Xiaobai went to work in the milk tea shop on the first floor of Xunyin."
It turns out that Pei E is using his money ability...
That's not surprising.
Gu Qingshi took the USB drive and plugged it into the front panel of the computer.
It is said to be a conference report, but in fact it is just a very simple .docx file with not many pictures. It is obvious that it was put together in a hurry.
The content is mainly about the new MMO "Stellaris: Chosen" (abbreviated as Chosen) that Polaris Technology is currently developing.
Compared to the almost non-existent plot of "Stellaris", the plot of "The Chosen" is much richer.
The plot of "The Chosen One" is completely extended according to the internal plot information of the stars provided by An Yan, and the tentative time span is 2144-2500. A span of nearly years is theoretically enough for the screenwriter to write from the time he was hired to the time he was buried.
During this meeting, Bai Jie and her colleagues simply sorted out the development and operation content of the five update cycles from 1.0 to 1.5, with each update cycle lasting 32 days.
In version 1.0, the two home planets of Earth and United Star are open, with a total of seven player cities and numerous plot maps. In terms of professions, "The Chosen" does not set any clear "profession" divisions, but mainly uses various sub-categories of "knowledge and skills" to differentiate players and make them perform their duties.
Specifically, the combat mode of "Chosen One" is like Star Citizen with a fantasy touch.
Battles in the starry sea are still mainly based on warship bombardment, supplemented by boarding operations. The surface combat is inspired by "Battlefield", focusing on vehicle combat and FPS.
Polaris has no experience in developing space combat. The plot of version 1.0 is concentrated on the surface. The plot of the Earth part mainly tells the internal strife of the countries on Earth and the establishment of a joint government. The Human Union focuses on the tit-for-tat between the internal religious establishment and the star sea pioneering faction.
To be specific, Gu Qingshi felt like she was watching a super god-level leaker...
Most of the plots take place on the earth, with a small portion in low-Earth orbit. As for spaceships, only a small number of small and medium-sized ships are available. Not only do they not have sub-light speed travel, but they are also expensive to manufacture - the production team obviously does not intend to let players have a ship to explore the entire universe in version 1.0.
In terms of professions, "The Chosen" claims to be "absolutely free", and players can play completely different roles in battle based on their skill combinations.
For example, if players choose skills such as "consciousness uploading", "hacking technology", and "prosthetic transformation", they can take the path of mechanical ascension and synthetic humans, realizing the network connection between humans and spacecraft vehicles, and having more advantages in controlling vehicles.
The same is true for synths. If you spend more precious skill points to learn skills such as "neurosurgery" and "mobile database", you can transform yourself into a nurse who can help other players with battlefield first aid or an auxiliary position that provides computing power buffs on the battlefield.
Choosing skills such as "Psionic Potential", "Mind Network" and "Witness the Extraordinary" will allow you to embark on psychic ascension and have extremely strong boarding combat capabilities. You can control small shuttles to perform operations such as infiltration and assassination.
It is not impossible for players to practice dual cultivation of Ling Tie and worship the God of All Things, but the strength can only be increased by faith.
In terms of career, "The Chosen" emphasizes "freedom".
Of course, if a player chooses auxiliary skills or the skills he chooses are too complicated, he will definitely not be able to be compared with pure combat players on the front battlefield.
Such a design seems a bit unorthodox nowadays - because this way of adding points to a profession is too "free".
Freedom means numerical imbalance, which means that the division of labor among players will be disrupted and thus destroy the life of the game. Moreover, most players will definitely choose the strongest style rather than the useless style in order to play smoothly or to facilitate team formation. With such changes, the so-called career freedom has become solidified.
But "Chosen One" actually does not have this problem, at least not in version 1.0.
The so-called freedom in "The Chosen One" is also a pseudo-freedom. The basic skills that determine the direction of development are very limited. The so-called "free" professions are nothing more than an exhaustive combination of many basic skills, and not even a truly exhaustive combination, because some skill combinations cannot embark on the road to ascension at all - equivalent to playing "Original Man" in "Genshin Impact".
The difficult part is whether to add new basic skills in the future.
It's hard to say about this thing, I can only say that each version has its own god......
But at least the title of "Completely Free Sci-Fi Open Universe MMORPG" is super cool, isn't it?
