On the rental app, several people looked at the house together.

"How is this?"

"Is the space a little crowded? It's enough for the time being. If you hire people again in the future, do you have to move a place? No, don't you? I think it's done as much as possible."

"I think so. It may not be enough to get it done in one step, but at least you have to find a place where you can hold a hundred or ten people."

"What about this? The space is very large and not expensive."

"There is enough, the location is a bit off."

"This? Forget it, the surrounding environment is not very good."

“This is a bit off.”

"Don't worry, look for it slowly, anyway, I won't move out soon."

Zhong Ming and others looked at the new office location on it and temporarily locked in a few alternatives.

There are still many requirements for new office locations, the place should be large, the environment should be good, and the nearby supporting facilities, transportation and other things should be considered as much as possible. As for the price, as long as it is not too expensive, it is good.

After watching it online, you still need to go to the field inspection. However, these house viewing apps have the function of panoramic house viewing. Basically, the interior layout, surrounding environment and other content can be viewed online, and there are not many things to see on site. Therefore, a few people just need to look at it separately to ensure that the information is true and there is no pitfall, and they can be roughly determined.

...

Zhong Ming went out to see the two decided office locations. They felt that they were OK, but they were not particularly satisfied. He thought about it or let it go.

After seeing the house, Zhong Ming went to Zhihuan Technology for a trip.

It was still Yang Chengye who came out to greet him. He was very happy to see Zhong Ming: "Teacher Zhong, the voice collection has been basically completed, and today we can see the effect!"

Zhong Ming nodded: "Well, I came for this matter. Let's take a look."

Yang Chengye and Zhong Ming came to the recording studio. The recording here was not long after it was completed.

Zhao Shanshan sat on the side, waving her two thin legs boredly. Her work was basically completed, but she couldn't leave yet because there might be some sounds that need to be recorded.

After the sound source is collected, the intelligent system will generate Chanel's voice based on the sound source, and at the same time detect whether there are some unnatural or lag-off areas. If so, it is necessary to arrange the dubbing actors to supplement these parts to ensure that Chanel's voice is intact, natural, and there is no very obvious electronic falsetto.

When Zhao Shanshan saw Zhong Ming coming, he made a face at Zhong Ming very proudly.

Zhong Ming laughed, this little girl is so weird.

After hearing from Yang Chengye, Zhao Shanshan was quite serious during the dubbing period. Sometimes she recorded it for more than ten hours after recording. She didn't make any noise or complain. The recording effect was also good, so it was done so quickly.

Yang Chengye said to the staff next to him: "Click out the Shanaier's voice library, match it with a model, and package it into the smart module to see the initial effect."

The staff nodded: "It seems OK, but there may be some minor flaws."

Yang Chengye: "I know."

The staff paused on the computer and transferred all the relevant data to the smart module connected to the computer.

Soon, the transmission was completed.

Yang Chengye installed the smart module on the wall, and then said with a normal volume: "Shanaire?"

"What's the matter with calling me Miss?"

A light blue translucent figure appeared on the open space in the center of the room. In two or three seconds, the translucent figure gradually condensed, and the figure of Chanel, who was about the same height as a real person, appeared.

He was 168 (with high heels), two-color ponytail, and after coming out, he yawned, as if he had just woken up.

Zhao Shanshan's expression was a bit wonderful, because the voice of Shanaier was familiar and unfamiliar to her. After all, they were all collected from her. This feeling was like listening to the voices she made in a chat software, which was a bit weird.

A staff member who was responsible for making the sound source next to him whispered: "So arrogant..."

Yang Chengye smiled and explained: "There are three personality settings for free to choose from. This personality is like this. We call it 'prototype personality'."

"Oh, so that's it." The staff understood.

The staff here are only responsible for the collection of sound sources, and they are not very clear about the specific settings of the smart module and the specific effects of smart AI, so this question is the case.

Indeed, for those who don’t understand, it will be a bit surprised to hear the first sentence from Chanel in this tone.

When other smart modules talk to their masters, they often feel cute and very obedient. For example, when they are first activated, they usually say, "Hello, master, is there anything you can serve you?" or "Master, I'm here, and I'm always waiting for your instructions."

But Shanaire is not. Zhihuan Technology has specially set three personality patterns for Shanaire, namely: prototype personality, traditional personality and independent personality.

The traditional personality is the personality of other intelligent modules. Chanel's personality is gentle and charming, very obedient. He keeps his mouth shut and serves wholeheartedly. He will never violate the orders of the master.

Of course, this is a conservative approach.

After all, this smart module is aimed at the vast majority of users, and there is no problem at all. Users can choose not to use it, but not without it.

The prototype personality is relatively more compromised. Chanel will still complete various tasks assigned by the master, but in terms of tone and movement, it will look more arrogant.

As for independent personality, it is completely displayed as an independent person. Shanaire will also get angry and have a more prominent personality. However, overall, Shanaire is very friendly to the owner. When designing before, Zhong Ming jokingly called this model "wife model". Although Shanaire is very good to the owner, she still has conflicts.

There are three modes, and the user will choose the smart module for the first time. The interface will briefly introduce the differences between these three modes. Of course, if the user does not like the mode he chooses, he can also change it at any time.

Now Yang Chengye chooses a prototype personality, which is a relatively compromise option.

"Shanaier, come and play the game." Yang Chengye said.

"Okay, I can see that you need me to carry. Don't worry, I'll cover it with me!"

Chanel's image sat down in front of the screen, and a virtual handle appeared on his hand.

At the same time, the TV and game consoles are automatically turned on and connected.

Yang Chengye began to play games with Shanel.

According to the settings, Chanel's game level is relatively high, and its operation skills are roughly equivalent to the top 30% of players. The game IQ is relatively lower, but it is definitely above the level of ordinary players.

This game level can be adjusted freely within a certain range. If the player thinks that Chanel is too strong and affects his gaming experience, he can appropriately lower Chanel's level and carry it yourself.

After all, the players' levels are uneven, so it is really possible to be carried by the computer.

Of course, Chanel only supports two-player or multiplayer modes to play stand-alone games with players, and cannot play competitive online games instead of players. This is also a limitation on the artificial intelligence system. After all, Chanel's level is so high that ordinary players ask Chanel to help them score points at that time, that would be troublesome.

After playing for a while, Yang Chengye tested other aspects, such as talking directly with Shanel, he could change the settings of the smart module and control various smart home appliances at home.

Chanel's intelligent module has a deep learning system. During the user's use, it will make slight corrections to the intelligent system based on the user's reactions and preferences.

For example, if a player has a preferred game, then Chanel will automatically expand the database of other similar games, and will even recommend players to play a certain game that he may be interested in; at the same time, for players of different personalities, although they choose the same mode, Chanel's personality will also be slightly different.

Zhao Shanshan looked at the virtual Chanel, a little shocked.

It's a bit real!

Especially if you can play games with each other, it is so attractive!

Finding someone to play with is the biggest pain point and most urgent need for many players nowadays.

Of course it is OK to find friends, but friends also happen to like the same game. This situation is actually hard to come by. Especially when players like certain niche games and unpopular games, it is too difficult to play with friends.

But the key is that some games have to be played in a team to get the best gaming experience.

For example, the "Dord Road" that Yang Chengye is playing is such a game. In Zhong Ming's opinion, this game is not much different from "Diablo" in his previous life. It is a game with brush brush as the core fun.

This game is relatively niche and not much to play. You can go to the Internet to form a team with strangers. However, after finishing this time, you will change to a new group next time. If there is no interaction between them, it will be more boring.

If you play by yourself, it is boring and less efficient.

With Chanel, when playing "The Road of Despair", you can directly choose the two-player mode, play a character by yourself, play a character by Shanel, brush equipment together, and interact with Chanel. If you lose the equipment, you can exchange it with each other, and the fun will come up all of a sudden.

Zhong Ming saw Zhao Shanshan’s eyes lit up and asked, “How is it, do you want it?”

Zhao Shanshan nodded vigorously: "I want! I want her to play games with me! But I just feel a little strange, as if I am playing with myself."

Zhong Ming said: "The price should be 998, buy one."

Yang Chengye laughed: "Why are you selling now? It's okay, if Miss Zhao likes you, I'll give you one."

"Look at how generous Mr. Yang!" Zhao Shanshan said.

"Come on, come and feel it?" Yang Chengye handed the handle to Zhao Shanshan, and Zhao Shanshan happily played games with Shanier.

Yang Chengye sat down next to Zhong Ming: "How is it?"

Zhong Ming nodded: "Very good, I think there is a lot of potential. Is the release date set?"

Yang Chengye looked at the date on the bracelet: "It is tentatively scheduled to be available online on January 23. But before that, there is a technology exhibition on January 18, and I am going to take it there to show it with other products from our company, and first test the players' tone."

Zhong Ming nodded: "Where is the pricing? Or 998?"

Yang Chengye nodded: "Yes, but I'm also wondering if the first batch of users will give a discount, such as 888, although it will pay a few dollars a little, at least the publicity effect will be better."

Zhong Ming thought for a while: "I have an idea. It is better to sell platinum collector's versions than to discount the first batch of discounts."

"Ah? Platinum collector's version? Just like a game?" Yang Chengye was stunned.

"Yes, the first batch of products sold in the original version, and the other part sold in the platinum collector's edition. In the collector's edition, there are custom figures from Chanel, as well as some simple small peripherals, mouse pads, keychains, custom bracelets and wristbands, etc. Of course, it is mainly figures. It sells for 1288."

Yang Chengye was happy: "Then the first batch of co-organizers not only did not have any discounts, but also increased the price. 998 has become 1288?"

Zhong Ming smiled: "1288 is a price reduction. Why can't a figure be sold for four or five hundred yuan? Now, in addition to the 998 smart module, there are also a lot of peripherals, and there are figures. Of course, consumers make a lot of money."

"Okay, that's a solution. Chanel is indeed quite suitable for filings. Then I told them that I will quickly start contacting relevant companies to make filings in batches before the official release. However, are you sure that someone will really buy platinum collector's version?" Yang Chengye asked.

Zhong Ming said confidently: "Of course, who do you think those who like Chanel are all groups of people? They are all legendary homes. Do you know? Everyone has a lot of money. It's like 1288 to bring figures, which is equivalent to free gifts. How can you not buy them?"

...

the next day.

"Ink and Wash Clouds" is officially released.

On the day of its release, "Ink and Wash" directly entered the top ten in the rankings of multiple game markets, and caused heated discussions on the Internet!

On Weibo, all kinds of well-known big Vs, especially big Vs in the cultural circle, have been promoting the platform, and even President Qian from the Calligraphy Association praised this game!

Under this offensive, "Ink and Wash" successfully became a hot search on various websites, and the situation was very good!

In terms of income, "Ink and Wash" still continues the level of the previous three games, without embarrassing Wei Guang Studio.

In addition to the 1.8 million prize in the first prize of the Global Game Art Concept Competition, the sales volume of "Ink and Wash" is expected to exceed 500,000 in the first month, with a price of 20 yuan, which means the first month's turnover is around 10 million.

As a relatively niche independent game, it is already amazing to have such sales.
Chapter completed!
