The Wallfacer: Everyone wants to break through my wall.

If the game fails, the costs won't be recovered, and all the money spent will be wasted.

"You need to understand that you're developing a game, not an educational project. The game is only meant to teach players knowledge, so your priority should be ensuring the game is fun, and only then should you focus on education. That's the core," Lin Feng said.

If a game is primarily for learning, it will become much more tedious, and students will feel that it is not a game for their entertainment, but an electronic version of homework.

This led to the collapse of the idea of ​​combining games and learning.

Therefore, learning should not be the main focus of the game; instead, the emphasis should be on fun.

Lin Feng said, "Players will unconsciously learn the knowledge in their minds while playing the game, and it will become common sense that they can use flexibly."

"Students often don't use the knowledge they learn at school, except for exams and homework. This leads to a sense of confusion for them, as they don't know how to apply the knowledge they've learned."

"For example, in chemistry, it is said that 'copper does not react with dinitrogen tetroxide at room temperature, but it produces copper nitrate in the presence of nitromethane, acetonitrile, diethyl ether, or ethyl acetate.' Students may memorize this, but can they apply it? Can they distinguish between dinitrogen tetroxide, nitromethane, acetonitrile, and diethyl ether? Even with copper, there are pure copper and copper elemental compounds, which differ in appearance and color. Can students differentiate between these?"

“If you learn something but can’t apply it, you’ll feel it’s useless. But in reality, if we let students do experiments step by step, it would consume a huge amount of resources every day, making the education cost too high. Moreover, it’s accompanied by experimental dangers, and the students’ personal safety cannot be guaranteed.”

“Virtual games can solve these problems. They are not only safe, but they can also make students realize more concretely how to use the knowledge they have learned.”

Lin Feng recalled that when he was in school, it was precisely because he thought about this kind of question that he gradually relaxed his studies. What's the point of learning if you can't apply what you've learned? Just to get a certificate?

Virtual games can hone students' knowledge, allowing them to truly "use" what they've learned, which alone makes them far superior to the tedious homework of the real world.

“I agree with your idea, which is why I decided to incorporate this concept into the game. Your suggestion is very useful to us, and we will focus on ensuring the game's fun factor. So what are the ‘two principles’?” Knight William pressed.

It's unclear when exactly, but Knight William had started taking out his notebook and writing down every single word Lin Feng said.

Lin Feng continued, "The game's physics engine must always be as close to reality as possible; that's the first principle. The game can be difficult in terms of content, but it cannot become so difficult for players to immerse themselves in the gameplay; that's the second principle."

The first principle is for education; a physics engine that doesn't closely match reality can confuse students who play the game. The second principle is for the game's fun; real players are never afraid of game difficulty, but rather of operational difficulty. Overly complex controls will make it difficult for players to immerse themselves in the game.

Of course, there are other more complex issues to address, such as some players preferring to play solo in single-player mode while others prefer playing in teams.

But these are not issues that Lin Feng needs to consider; they are issues that game developers need to consider. He only needs to provide a framework, and let the game run its own course.

Knight William thought for a moment and asked, "Won't players leave because the game is too difficult?"

Lin Feng smiled slightly and said, "No, this situation won't happen if we guarantee the game's fun factor. It needs to have sufficiently complex content to make it worthwhile for players to immerse themselves in and play. If this can directly affect their future career prospects, they will only be more eager to play the game. Who wouldn't want to learn knowledge and make money while playing a game?"

After a pause, Lin Feng's tone changed, becoming serious and earnest.

"Let me make this clear from the start: I am absolutely against games that are just reskinned versions of other games and used to make money. No matter which company it is or who is behind it, I will crush any one of them who dares to create such a game."

Lin Feng's plan is to control and guide human thought. Adults' thoughts are already solidified and very difficult to change, while students' thoughts are not solidified and are easy to reform. All that is needed is for the students to grow up and enter society, and the thought of human society will change.

To achieve this goal, Lin Feng started with virtual education.

In Lin Feng's plan, those games that are just reskinned versions of other games and used to make money are a bunch of obstacles that should be removed because they will attract students' attention.

Chapter 49 He always pretended to be very stupid.

The SG president's heart tightened, and he pressed further, "What are your standards for this reskinned money-grabbing game?"

"I am the standard. I will play all the games and use my own gaming experience to confirm whether a game meets my expectations," Lin Feng said.

Every standard has loopholes, and there are ways to skirt the rules, which is something Lin Feng doesn't want to see. So he uses himself as the standard, letting those who try to skirt the rules and fish in troubled waters guess what he, Lin Feng, is thinking.

Having obtained the answer he wanted, even though the red line Lin Feng drew wasn't very clear, at least he had a standard, so he wouldn't be as anxious as before.

"I see. Thank you for your suggestion. It has been a great help to our game development."

"You're welcome. After all, I'm a gamer too. I'm happy to see the gaming industry develop better, and I hope that more high-quality virtual games can be produced online."

The two shook hands and smiled at each other.

……

In the Three-Body game world, the ETO members, who were still pondering Lin Feng's true plan, suddenly received very bad news.

"The scheme has succeeded?!"

At the ETO high-level meeting, King Wen of Zhou, Ji Chang, was so frightened that he slammed his hand on the table and stood up, staring wide-eyed at the ETO lower-level personnel who were giving their report.

"The information gleaned from the mental model is this: during a brief conversation between Feng Taylor and SG President Knight William, this idea was briefly revealed," reported a lower-level ETO staff member.

The ETO executives felt a chill run down their spines. Recalling their previous failure when Zhizi came to confront them, they felt as if the Wallfacer, Feng Taylor, had once again put a knife to their throats.

They haven't even gotten a clue yet, and you, Feng Taylor, have already succeeded in your scheme? This is outrageous!

ETO executives immediately began intensive discussions and exchanged opinions.

"Feng Taylor is ultimately just a mortal, and he made a mistake. His plan is related to the virtual game that SG Company is developing!"

Some suggested simply bombing SG Company to violently destroy Lin Feng's plan, but not everyone agreed.

"It could be a misinterpretation of the mental model, or a trap set by Feng Taylor. It would not be a good choice for us to act rashly now."

Everything is still unclear. ETO is not what it was during Evans' time. Back then, it was besieged by a coalition of countries, and the entire ETO has been in a state of great weakness ever since.

After some discussion, they made a decision.

"Send someone to infiltrate SG and try to disrupt Feng Taylor's plan through game development."

"We should also study Feng Taylor's 'one core, two principles' game development framework. It must contain some of Feng Taylor's plan."

"During this period, surveillance of Feng Taylor must not be relaxed, and his every move must be recorded."

“We cannot afford to fail twice. Perhaps this time the flaw is a scheme by Feng Taylor to distract us and then hide his true plan in our seemingly insignificant actions.”

The lower-level ETO staff member who was listening in felt somewhat incredulous and asked his companion next to him.

"That's outrageous! Is Feng Taylor even human?"

His companion shook his head, lowered his voice, and answered decisively.

"Don't ever think that way; he's always been dangerous."

"Feng Taylor is good at manipulating and deceiving others. He always pretends to be very stupid and says stupid things that seem to be done without thinking. But if you really think he is stupid, he will give you a fatal blow like a venomous snake."

"He is the only Wallfacer to date who has made the organization feel defeated, and it is never too much to be wary of such a person."

……

A few days after Lin Feng's meeting with SG President Knight William, a large number of negative news stories about him suddenly appeared in the media and newspapers.

"Nobody knows games better than me?"

Lin Feng frowned as he stared at the large headline on the front page of the newspaper.

Thinking that this probably had nothing to do with ETO, since such a practice is too low and useless, I became curious about who was smearing him.

Lin Feng summoned a maid to inquire about the situation, asking, "Who is using the media to smear me?"

"In your words, they're those studios that develop reskinned games to make money," the maid replied.

When a lot of negative news about Wallfacer Feng Taylor suddenly appeared in the media recently, the CIA took notice immediately and investigated the cause and effect.

They simply didn't take action after seeing that it wasn't an ETO.

“Each person will be charged with defamation, and the punishment will be based on the severity of the offense. This is part of the plan, and all the fines will be transferred to the Hong Electronics Energy Storage Project’s funding pool,” Lin Feng said coldly.

"Ok."

The maid nodded without any surprise.

Just as Lin Feng was about to settle down and read the newspaper, he vaguely heard a commotion outside.

The maid, who was just about to leave, was stopped by Lin Feng.

"Who's making such a racket outside?"

“Those are the people you were just about to sue,” the maid said.

What is their purpose in coming here?

"We hope you can give them a way to survive, and we would like to come and talk to you."

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow. The maid's words, "Let's talk," reminded him of the idiot he had met in Japan who wanted him to apologize and make amends.

After thinking it over, Lin Feng figured there were probably relatively few idiots in the world, so he got up.

"Let's go see him."

Upon reaching the gate, a group of people surrounded the mansion's entrance, holding banners and flags that expressed their views, much like a march.

"Feng Taylor! Give us a way out!"

"We still need this to support our families!"

The sounds rose and fell, as noisy as a market, and no matter what Lin Feng said, his voice was always drowned out.

After trying several times, Lin Feng's patience ran out. He called in his agents, brought over a large speaker, and shouted into the microphone.

"If you want to support your family, make games with content! Players aren't just cash cows! What do players get from those mindless games that only require grinding and spending money? A sense of accomplishment? Vanity? Happiness?"

"Let me tell you what I got after playing it! It was a scam! A scam to make money!"

The sound was like a tidal wave, drowning out everyone else's voices, and the crowd fell silent instantly.

Someone in the crowd shouted in protest, "We also want to make games with substance, but we don't have the money!"

Lin Feng sneered, "That's all nonsense. If they really had that kind of idea, would they need to change the skin to make money?"

"Then go work at Hong Electronics Energy Storage Project for a year. With so many of you, you can easily earn a few million dollars a year, right? Is it really that hard to develop a game with content together?" Lin Feng questioned, holding the microphone.

Knowing that this wouldn't change Lin Feng's decision, some people in the crowd angrily cursed.

"Why are you targeting us? What about pirated games?"

"Piracy? Let me tell you, piracy will only lead to a worse end. You'll just get fined, while they'll be sent to jail to pick up soap!"

Chapter 50 was just an exam assignment.

"What is Feng Taylor doing?"

"He's playing games with V-suits."

The two ETO members slurped up instant noodles while discussing their surveillance targets.

The task of monitoring the Wallfacers cannot be entrusted to the higher-ups of the ETO, as they are human and can get tired and die. Therefore, this task can only be assigned to lower-level members of the ETO.

"This guy is so disgusting. We're racking our brains to break down this wall, and he's just lying at home playing video games."

The thought of the two of them taking turns monitoring them day and night, while the target lived in a mansion, enjoying a life of luxury and playing games at home, made him feel resentful.
