Watching the [Level 2 University Treasure Chest] start to spin in front of his eyes, and at the moment when it opened, Ding Yue felt quite a bit of excitement.

It was like playing a beloved game and opening a treasure box, expecting a legend or an epic item inside?

Ding!

"Congratulations to the host for successfully opening a [Level 2 University Treasure Chest], you have gained the [Advanced Game Engine Production Technology]."

Looking at the item that came out from the [Level 2 University Treasure Chest], Ding Yue couldn’t help but pause.

Then, a joyful smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Luckily, it wasn’t a pen or a diary or some other item.

It was a technology!

That’s right! Just like the last time he opened a University Treasure Chest, this time Ding Yue also got a technology. It just wasn’t as awesome as the one from the [Level 3 University Treasure Chest].

Looking at it this way, Ding Yue was definitely a lucky dog.

"Advanced Game Engine Production Technology?"

Ding Yue wondered about the technology he had got from the University Treasure Chest.

Ding Yue noticed a pattern - the good things, such as technology, he got from opening the University Treasure Chest, often correlated with certain specialties at Mist City Arts and Sciences University.

Like the previous [Lithography Manufacturing Process Technology], which involves knowledge from several specialties, exactly those that seemed promising at Ding Yue’s Mist City Arts and Sciences University.

This [Advanced Game Engine Manufacturing Technology] obviously relates to specialties in game production.

How fortunate.

Ding Yue’s Mist City Arts and Sciences University had a E-sports Game College with a large number of students; from the 2020 to the 2021 student intake, the total number of students already reached two to three thousand.

Among these two to three thousand students of the E-sports Game College, some chose majors related to esports.

Such as Professional esports players, esports commentators, esports data analysts and so on.

But a large part of them didn’t actually choose to play games as a major, but to design and produce games instead.

For example, game designers!

There are a lot of game design students in the E-sports Game College as well.

Ding Yue hadn’t previously had an extensive understanding of the game design students in the E-sports Game College. But given that so many students chose this major, it indicates that these people love game design and, combined with the learning buff from Mist City Arts and Sciences University, there should be some capable game design students, right?

Otherwise, wouldn’t this [Advanced Game Engine Manufacturing Technology] coming out from the University Treasure Chest be wasted?

In fact, even if there were no impressive students in the game design field, Ding Yue would still choose to bestow this technology onto the game design students.

Then it can be seen who can better understand this technology and create a decent game engine.

Game engine production technology is essential for making a game as many contemporary games are based on particular game engines.

A game engine is essentially a set of already written core components of editable computer game systems or interactive realtime graphic applications.

Game engines typically provide game designers with various tools required to write games with the aim of making it easier and quicker for game designers to create game programs without starting from scratch.

A game engine system includes a graphics engine, a physics engine, a collision detection system, sound, a script engine, computer animation, AI, a networking engine, and scene management, among others.

Well-known game engines include Frostbite Engine and the Unreal Engine.

"With this [Advanced Game Engine Production Technology], doesn’t it mean we can make a badass game engine at Mist City Arts and Sciences University?"

As Ding Yue pondered this, he had a general plan in mind.

It seems like, from the moment Ding Yue got this [Advanced Game Engine Production Technology], it marks the swift development of his game design major at Mist City Arts and Sciences University.

The gaming field seems to be a very promising market, and Ding Yue figured, in the future, with an increasing number of tech patents at Mist City Arts and Sciences University, it’s quite possible that technology and gaming can converge to usher in a new era of gaming!

"Secretary Wen, let’s go take a trip to the E-sports Game College."

After having this thought, Ding Yue was going to take a good look at the E-sports Game College and find a suitable opportunity to apply this [High-Priced Game Engine Production Technology] to the students.

"Eh? Go to the E-sports Game College?"

Wen Ruohan was puzzled.

Why did Principal Ding suddenly want to go to the E-sports Game College?

"What are you standing there for?"

Ding Yue was ready to walk out of the office, but Wen Ruohan was still standing motionless.

"Oh, Principal Ding, why are we going to the E-sports Game College? To observe the teaching situation?"

Wen Ruohan quickly followed, asking with curiosity.

"Yes, the E-sports Game College is one of the colleges with the largest number of students in Mist City Arts and Science University. Its future development will undoubtedly receive a lot of attention from the public."

Ding Yue nodded as he spoke.

Ding Yue was right. The E-sports Game College probably only exists as a unique feature of Mist City Arts and Science University. Generally, people see this major as simply playing games, which, in the eyes of many parents, is a lack of dedication to serious work.

Therefore, whether the E-sports Game College of Mist City Arts and Science University can achieve good academic results is quite significant.

If all students of the E-sports Game College in Mist City Arts and Science University can master the coursework and find a good job, then the general public’s prejudice towards this "gaming" major at Mist City Arts and Science University would be alleviated.

People may even think that this school has a forward-looking vision.

However, if it fails, the university fears it will suffer from widespread criticism. Ding Yue can even imagine the critical comments, such as "wasting the prime years of students", "not dedicated to serious work" and so on.

"Principal Ding, should we notify Director Jian first?"

On the way to the E-Sports Game College, Wen Ruohan asked Principal Ding.

"No need, we’ll just go straight to Director Jian’s office."

Ever since Director Jian Zihao of E-sports Game College took office last year, he has proven his capabilities. If he continues to hold his position for a few more years, his abilities should rise even further.

With this in mind, Ding Yue temporarily dismissed the idea of replacing the Dean of the E-sports Game College. Jian Zihao was doing just fine.

After all, the leading team of the E-sports Game College, the FY squad, is directly led by Jian Zihao. As long as Jian Zihao is in the E-sports Game College of Mist City Arts and Sciences University, young people who love e-sports will think the College is not bad, at least there is a famous e-sports figure present.

Over ten minutes later.

Ding Yue and Wen Ruohan arrived at the office of the E-sports Game College Director.

Knock knock knock!

Wen Ruohan knocked on the office door.

"Come in!"

From inside the office, Jian Zihao’s voice could be heard.

So, Wen Ruohan opened the door, letting Principal Ding enter first, then followed behind him.

"Principal Ding? What brings you here?" Seeing Ding Yue, Jian Zihao quickly got up from his office chair and walked over with a smile.

In the campus of Mist City Arts and Science University, anyone who met Principal Ding would be polite, after all, the large campus was under Ding’s jurisdiction.

Jian Zihao had a good relationship with Principal Ding, but since the last time the FY squad was formed, their meetings had become less frequent.

That’s because Jian Zihao was busy leading the members of the FY squad in competitions and daily training.

And Principal Ding was also consistently busy, something Jian Zihao knew. The achievements of Mist City Arts and Science University over the past year couldn’t have been made without Principal Ding’s participation and support.

Indeed, as Principal of an entire University, it wasn’t easy for Ding Yue to supervise the construction and development of almost a hundred majors within about twenty institutes in Mist City Arts and Science University.

"I came to have a look and see if there’s anything the E-sports Game College needs," Ding Yue also said with a smile to Jian Zihao.

"Principal Ding has already provided us with a lot of support for the E-sports Game College."

"That’s not enough."

Ding Yue shook his head, and then said seriously, "The E-sports Game College is one of the departments with the largest number of students in our Mist City Arts and Science University. The disciplines involved are not only e-sports, but also gaming."

"What does Principal Ding mean?" Jian Zihao didn’t seem to understand Principal Ding’s meaning.

"The majors related to e-sports games, such as e-sports professional players, e-sports professional commentators, e-sports data analysts, the school indeed has support for development. But aren’t there also students and majors related to game production in the E-sports Game College? Shouldn’t we balance the scales?"

Ding Yue’s purpose of his visit this time was to cater to the students studying game design and production.

"Oh, I see. Indeed, there are quite a few students in the game design major."

Jian Zihao realized and nodded.

Actually, Jian Zihao had always felt that the game design students of the E-sports Game College of Mist City Arts and Science University should not be overlooked.

After all, this group of students is huge, and the issue of employment after graduation from university is a problem.

Principal Ding established Feiyue eSports, which can to a certain extent solve the employment problem of professional players. What about the students majoring in game design?

If they are asked to find their own jobs after graduation, it’s likely to be difficult, because the game design major at Mist City Arts and Science University is currently not a key specialty. Their competitiveness after graduation definitely can’t match those longstanding universities specializing in game design and production.

"As the director of the E-sports Game College, tell me about the situation of the major related to game design and production in your department."

Ding Yue sat on the sofa in Jian Zihao’s office and asked seriously.
