Chapter 1306: Choice Of Name

Chapter 1306: Choice Of Name

It would be more difficult to name the game.

That was because the theme was not particularly clear.

Yan Qi had designed this game. Its emotional tone should be the sorrow of chaotic times. It was “white bones exposed in the wild, no sound in a thousand miles”. It was “Better to be a dog at peace than to be a man in troubled times”. It was the feeling of demons running amok and human lives being worthless.

Comparatively, it was not appropriate to name him as the protagonist.

That was because in the game, players could choose four different identities for the protagonist. The endings would also be different.

It was very difficult to take into account four different identities as the protagonist. After all, there was a huge gap in the concepts of Confucius, Shi, and Dao soldiers. It was very difficult to find common points. If they found common points, they might not be suitable enough.

It would not be good to name it after the protagonist’s actions.

That was because the protagonist’s attitude depended on the player’s attitude. The player’s attitude could be positive, taking the initiative to pursue a perfect ending, saving the people in this world from fire and water. It could also be relatively casual. They would fight wherever they went. They were purely acting as a knight, not thinking of changing the world.

Therefore, it was not easy to fix the protagonist’s behavior.

It could only be named after the entire cultural tone, highlighting the feeling of this chaotic world, emphasizing that players in this chaotic world would follow their own path and choose their own path.

Apart from that, this name had to have a certain Chinese heritage. It could not be too direct or it would easily dilute the game’s style.

The game’s name had to be easy to remember. It had to be catchy and not too unfamiliar.

Yan Qi racked his brains to search for his pitiful knowledge of ancient Chinese but found nothing in the end.

He could not think of anything!

The names that appeared in his mind were either too straightforward, not classy enough, or not appropriate enough. Some of them were biased.

Yan Qi knew that his standard of ancient Chinese history was only at this level. There was no point in thinking about it anymore. He could only ask the audience for help.

But from where should he ask for help?

This was not like writing a novel. How could he copy books and comments?

Ask around in the gamer group?

Let that group of players who played the mobile version of the Blade of the Empire do such a brain-consuming, difficult, and high-tech job? Yan Qi was highly suspicious.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration.

How about going to Bunny Tail live-stream?

There was a large group of young scholars and postgraduate students on Bunny Tail Live-Stream!

This group of people did not live-stream every day, but a few of them were often online. Wouldn’t it be good to ask for help?

This was a technical job after all. Professionals were more suitable.

At that thought, Yan Qi immediately switched on Bunny Tail Live-Stream and chose a big boss’s live-stream.

At that moment, the big boss was chatting with the audience in the live-stream, from poetry to ancient Chinese.

There were not many people in these scholars’ live-streams usually. After all, live-streams had a very low information density. Coupled with academic cooperation, live-streaming was indeed ineffective.

However, the compilation that they had previously taught had very high views. What’s more, it was still increasing.

These scholars could earn money from the videos they taught. They could also take money from the content of the useful APP. The live-stream also had a gift income.

More importantly, it was more interesting to chat with his netizens and share their knowledge. Thus, a few ‘liver emperors’ often live-streamed and became familiar with each other.

The scholar in this live-stream was called Murong Tieshuan. It could be seen from his online name. He was a prankster and was more humorous. He had spoken about ancient literature and history. He was also one of the liver emperors on Bunny Tail’s live-stream platform. He was quite popular and was the first choice for many people to hang out for a long time.

Yan Qi thought for a while and gave a small gift first. Then, he sent a bullet screen comment that he hoped that the big boss could talk to him because he had questions.

There were not many people in the live-stream to begin with. Yan Qi gave a small gift, so it quickly attracted Murong Tieshuan’s attention. He sent a phone number to him in a private chat.

Soon, both of them spoke on the phone.

Yan Qi explained the background story of the game and emphasized a few requirements.

First, he had to highlight the sorrow of chaotic times.

Second, it would be best if there was a story behind it. It would be classy and cultural.

Lastly, it had to be easy to remember and not be too unfamiliar. The name should not be too long.

In other words, he had to use a classic, but he could not be too arrogant. He had to show a certain cultural connotation and not be too unfamiliar.

Murong Tieshuan fell into deep thought. Obviously, this requirement was quite high.

However, he was a professional after all. He had sorted out and summarized the relevant topics when he was working on the content of the Useful App. Thus, he quickly had an idea.

“I’ve thought of two names. You can choose one.”

“The first name is called ‘The Great Dao is Concealed’.”

“This story is from The Book of Rites. It talks about two different states of society. One is ‘The world is for the public’, and the other is ‘the Great Dao is hidden and the world is home’.”

“Since the Great Dao is hidden, it means that we are not in an ideal society. Instead, we are in a society where everyone cares about themselves, is selfish, and is filled with contradictions and struggles. It is the terrifying fact that the weak go and everyone thinks they are collateral damage.”

“In this state, in order to compete for power and wealth, ministers kill their monarchs, sons kill their fathers, brothers hurt each other, and uncles harm each other. It’s just like what’s recorded in ‘Spring and Autumn’: 36 kings died, 52 kingdoms were destroyed, and marquises ran wild. Those who don’t protect their countries are uncountable.”

“Of course, the interpretation of this article is more complicated. As the mindset of the ancients, the social outlook it reflects is not completely correct, but it can show what you want to express.”

“The second name is called ‘Shu Li’.”

“This story originated from Lessons from the states, Odes of Wang from ‘The Book of Songs’. It is a poem that resonates with the rise and fall of the country.”

“‘Those who understand me know that my heart is troubled, and those who don’t ask what I want’ originated from ‘Shu Li’.”

“The background of this poem was that a traveller passed by Western Zhou Gaojing and saw the ruins of a temple and palace. There was no more flourishing city, only a field of lush millet growing to his heart’s content. Thus, he wrote a poem to express his sorrow about the rise and fall of the country.”

“This poem has been around for a long time and has a huge influence. Future scholars would often use it as long as they write a poem about history. For example, Cao Zhi’s’ A Poem of Love ‘, Xian Xiu’s’ Recording to the Old ‘, Liu Yuxi’s’ Wu Yi Lane ‘, Jiang Kui’s’ Yangzhou Slow Huai Ming Du ‘, and so on.”

“Subsequently, this sentimental feeling towards the rise and fall of the country was known as the ‘sorrow of Shu Li’.”

“What do you think of these two names? You’re the original author. You’ll have to decide which name is more suitable.”

Yan Qi was overjoyed.

He was indeed a big boss. He had thought of it so quickly and had two names to choose!

After some consideration, he said, “I think ‘Shu Li’ is better.”

“On one hand, it’s because ‘The Great Dao is Concealed’ talks about Confucian thinking. Comparatively, it’s slightly more important. On the other hand, in the game, there are four systems of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism. We cannot have obvious tendencies.”

“On the other hand, the words ‘Great Dao is hidden’ and’ Shu Li ‘are two simple words.”

“What’s more, I suddenly realized that the entire story is blank. However, the historical background can be further explained. It makes people feel that it was in ancient times. It can fit the background of the name ‘Shu Li’ better.”

“Thank you so much!”

“It’s nothing. It’s a small matter. It’s a good thing that you’ve decided to create a game with a Chinese background. I’m looking forward to it, too!”

“If you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask me. I’ll be very happy to answer them!”

After thanking him profusely, Yan Qi exited the live-stream.

Before this, Yan Qi had always thought that Bunny Tail Live-Stream was an alternative live-stream platform. However, at this critical moment, he realized that it was really useful!

There was also the Useful APP with Bunny Tail Live-Stream. If he really wanted to do something serious, he could really find the answer he wanted in a specific professional field.

The only pity was that the content on the Useful App was still filling in too slowly. It made people unable to wait. After all, it involved knowledge of various industries. Professionals had to be recorded bit by bit. This was a physical job.

Once the name was finalized, Yan Qi spent some time to complete the concept draft for “Shu Li”.

He had even thought of a promotional picture for the game.

An ordinary person with nothing better to do entered a chaotic world and saw demons running amok and the people were dying. Naturally, he felt sympathetic.

The protagonist’s back view was in the ruins of a palace filled with lush millet. He walked forward with his sword in hand. In the distance was the faint red sky, which was caused by demons and smoke.

Many details that had not been confirmed previously were smoothed out.

However, Yan Qi quickly realized a more serious problem. The game seemed to be too big.

It was completely beyond his small workspace!

Of course, it was not completely impossible if he had to do extreme operations.

Under the prerequisite that they had the official game editor and their skills had improved greatly, everyone in the workspace worked overtime. They would then sell everything they had and spend all the previous income from the Blade of the Empire, or mortgage the house…

He might be able to develop it, but it was not easy to confirm the timing.

It could be a year, or two to three years, or even longer.

This was even under the premise that there was an official game editor and the game development time was greatly shortened.

However, that would be too much.

Or rather, he was too stupid. He had not left a way out for himself at all.

Yan Qi felt that he could not be as stubborn as a country bumpkin. He had to think of other ways.

For example… attract investors and recruit people?

Now, he was lacking in both money and manpower. If he were to forcefully develop it and the quality of the game was not up to standard, wouldn’t that be a waste of a good idea?

If this idea was only half-done, it would make Yan Qi very miserable.

Recruiting people was relatively easy. After all, it was all about money.
