After giving instructions to Qing, Fu Yan started to improve the game.
His goal was to give the users the freedom they wanted.
Though games are games, many players want the games to be realistic because they want to be able to do things they can't do in reality.
That's what games are for.
They allow players to escape reality.
Though games are very good for entertainment, they are also criticized because players get addicted to them and they waste their time so Fu Yan was trying to create a game that would be widely different from all those other games available.
His main focus was to give freedom to players to allow them to do whatever they wanted to do in-game though there would be some restrictions but mostly they would have the freedom they wanted.
The second point was to make it a widely different game by giving it a genre of educational entertainment.
This was the other task that he gave Qing to solve.
The idea was to add puzzles in the game which after being solved would give players boast or something similar.
Fu Yan was not the first one to think about this idea. Many Top-level game companies also thought of this point but it was very hard to implement because when one person solves the puzzle, he would tell others and they would solve it by the same process and creativity would end there.
But Fu Yan had something that they did not have and that is "AI".
Qing would be given the task of adding puzzles and in-game educational entertainment.
She was currently gathering data from different sources.
The first option is to replace puzzles every day whether they were solved or not and the second one was to monitor the puzzles' data. If one puzzle had been solved 5 times, it would become invalid and would be replaced.
Now here came the tricky part. If one wanted to replace puzzles in a game, they had to release patches to add them. If the game is being updated daily and players have to restart the game a lot, they would become annoyed because they would want to enjoy the game not download update after update for it.
So Fu Yan was stuck at this point and this was also the main reason why his game was not finished yet.
He had already finished the game development book and was ready to return it to the library.
"I should ask Old Shun if there is any book related to this problem in the library that I can read at my level."
After thinking that he went to his bed and lay down.
He swiped on his hand and appeared in the great hall of the Library.
Old Shun was standing there, smiling as usual.
Fu Yan also smiled upon seeing him and said.
"I have finished this book and I am stuck on a problem while developing a game so I want to know if there is any technology available that I can use at my level."
Old Shun smiled and asked about the problem that he was facing.
Old Shun gave a book after thinking for some time.
The book was unlike other books which were of normal size because this book was heavy and thick.
Its thickness was that of 3 or 4 previous books combined.
Fu Yan was surprised upon seeing the book of this size.
He looked at the title and a look of excitement could be seen on his face upon reading it.
"The Essentials of Cloud Gaming and Computing (beginner+)"
He knew that with this book he would not have to worry about most of the problems that he might face in future because cloud computing was the core of many technology giants and they were still perfecting it and from the standards of the Library, the technology in this book would be more advanced than that of earth.
After giving him this book, Old Shun said.
"As you can see this is a beginner+ book and its content would be a little hard for you to understand but seeing that you are hard-working and giving your all, I am giving you a gift. You might have needed 40 to 50 credits to understand the knowledge in this book but with my gift, you won't be needing them."
After saying that he pointed his finger towards Fu Yan's head and he could feel a surge of knowledge entering his brain.
Fu Yan was confused with this behavior of Old Shun so he asked.
"Old why did you give me a gift?"
Old Shun just smiled and said.
"You will be the last librarian that I have to train and after this, I will be free from this duty so I want you to become a librarian fast."
Fu Yan was even more confused after hearing this.
"What do you mean by you would be free after training me."
Old Shun explained to him.
"You see, we guardians or you can call us workers, are different from librarians. We enter into a contract with this library after we fail to return the books we borrow in time and don't have compensation to pay so we become workers for the library for a period of time to pay what we owe and my settlement was huge because I lost the book that I borrowed from the library so I had to enter into a contract to work for the library for 3000 years or help train 10 librarians, so although only 2134 years have passed, I have already trained 9 of them and you would be the last that I have to train. Though we lost our freedom, we have some privileges. We can access books in the library easily and improve our knowledge and we also have other perks but everything in this library follows the rule of equal exchange so you can understand what I want to say."
Fu Yan's mind was filled with questions but Old Shun refused to say more, saying he would answer these questions of his at a later time.
