I will not die!

Recently, the first anniversary event of our group game is about to begin, but OUNE-senpai is resigning at this time, which means that my work will increase again. The only good thing is that Yakumo said he would finish this job before leaving

"Hey, are you touched?"Yakumo smiled and patted my shoulder.

"No"

"Ouch, you bastard, why are you doing this?"

"Bags"

"Why are you so cute, ZENZENKAWAIKUNAI~" Yakumo said in a rap style with a very unbeatable expression.

Looking at his unbeatable look, I couldn't help but clenched my fists:"If I punch you twice, maybe you will I feel cute"

"Still want to give me two punches? Eat my breasts to the waist!"

Yakumo suddenly raised his middle finger with both hands and poked my creak at the same time. However, I didn't change my expression after being hit by this move.

Yakumo hummed in confusion, and then I took the opportunity to retaliate. The next second, his laughter spread throughout the building.

Damn it, it was a sneak attack!

I cursed secretly and returned to my work station, leaving Yakumo alone and surrounded by a group of people.

While eating , Yakumo told me that he had played my game and thought it was good. Especially in the later stage, when the six sides were equipped with different weapons, it was quite fun to play. The different types of monsters controlled by each weapon also ensured a certain degree of success. The balance and technicality of it.

His evaluation is undoubtedly pertinent, which also confirms that he has indeed played my game well. Although he did not show it, I received a positive reply from others, and I was undoubtedly happy in my heart. However,……

"Although the game is okay, it is a bit difficult to make money. At present, the market share of this type of game is only a small part. If you don't spend money on publicity and promotion, it is almost certain that no one will play it. So, what are you going to do? Or are you not planning to make money?"

"Money must be earned, but I don’t have money for publicity."It's impossible for me to pay for expenses that easily cost tens of thousands.

"Then do you want to watch your game die violently?"

I paused for a while,"Let's take it one step at a time. People don't buy the game only when it is first released. I will make some videos and post them everywhere by then."

"Do you want to disclose it to the company and let them help you? Although part of the money will definitely be divided by the company at that time, it is better than none at all."

"If no one buys it by then, I will consider it."Even if I can't sell it, I don't want to tell anyone else.

"It's up to you. Besides, I think your BOSS is too uncomfortable to fight. The attack methods are few and stupid, but the desire to attack is very strong. And the final BOSS, you can at least give it a separate BGM.……"

I listened carefully to Yakumo's suggestions. As the saying goes, you don't know the game until you are in it. As a gamer, I really don't have a comprehensive view of many aspects of the game. It is really good to have a player to help me take a look.

"In terms of monsters, I will use AI to fine-tune them when the time comes."

"Ah, AI, so convenient"

"Are you also a primitive person?"

"How come? I really like science. But sometimes I always think that this AI technology has been developed for more than a hundred years, but there has never been a super AI like the one in the movie that can control the world. You said that our technology has encountered a bottleneck. Or do those technicians intentionally prevent this kind of AI from appearing?"

"It should be the latter, I think our current technology should be enough. But who would allow such dangerous things to exist in the world? It’s enough for us to suffer even if some large-scale AIs go wrong."

"If that kind of AI really appeared, do you think it would want to kill us?"

"If that kind of AI really appears, it doesn't like us who created it, and wants to kill us... I think it's probably that we have a problem, not him."

"It's better to find the reason from yourself."

In the next few days, I was almost busy handing over the work left by OUNE senior. After the handover was almost complete, it was the day that OUNE senior left. On this day, the three of us had a meal together again. Nothing happened, and so did the rest of it. So, an ordinary day passed like this, but the seniors who would continue to take care of me were no longer there.

I have been with the company for more than a year, and although I know that I am not qualified at all, now, I am the one who should be the senior.

After the senior left, the first anniversary event of the game finally started in full swing. Yakumo and I were exhausted every day in the past few days, and now we can finally take a break.

When we get off work , Yakumo has time to look at the beauties around him.

"Guangyuan, look, there is a very good recipe over there! BLACKSTOCKING!"Yakumo pointed in a direction with his eyes, and I looked over, and sure enough I saw a pretty figure from behind. It's really rare for someone to be dressed like this on such a cold day.

"Don’t you have a girlfriend?"

"Haven’t you been able to watch this recently? Besides, my girlfriend also watches it."

"……"

Soon, he was looking for a new target. Of course, as gentlemen, we would only watch from a distance.

"It's far-fetched"

"Um?"

"Do you really like making games?"

"……Okay. Why do you ask this?"

"Ah, maybe I got it wrong. It’s okay. It’s good to have a clear goal, but don’t tire yourself out."

"……"

This unclear answer wasn't really an answer at all, but I was too lazy to ask any more.

Because this damn bastard attacked me again!

But since we were walking side by side, he only poked me on one side.

"Let me go, can't you feel the squeaking?"Yakumo said while poking twice more.

The next second, he fell down because he laughed too much.

I left him and walked forward alone, while he got up and walked towards The first anniversary event ended perfectly, and we gathered together to discuss the specific matters of the next event, but I listened absentmindedly. Anyway, it was mainly the planning, and I was just a tool to complete their requirements..

Not long after, it was the day for Yakumo to leave. It was the same as usual, a very ordinary day. He was neither lazy nor diligent, he just did what he should do dutifully. Not bad for being his last day at the company

"It is now generally believed that bacteria will be the most likely alien life we ​​will discover. Do you think it is possible for bacteria to develop civilization?"

"If bacteria want to develop civilization, they don't have enough brains, right?"

"What if they could unite and form a very powerful brain, like a swarm of bees?"

"It's not like a bee colony will become smarter after forming a colony, and if it becomes a new species, does it still count as a bacterium?"

"Just forget it when they don't fit together."

After completing the resignation procedures, Yakumo suggested that we go have a meal, and I agreed, so we had a long chat on the road. When we arrived at the barbecue restaurant we used to go to, we had already talked about everything we could. We all talked, not because our thinking changed so quickly, but because the person he was chatting with was me, the topic killer.

"Guangyuan, haven't you heard of it? As a programmer, third-rate depends on hard work, second-rate relies on talent, first-rate relies on talent and hard work, and super first-rate relies on luck."

"luck?"While waiting for the food to be served, we somehow ended up talking about our careers.

"Talent and an environment where you can work hard are all part of luck. And the only thing that can defeat good luck is stronger good luck"

"Maybe that's true, but it still feels a bit annoying"

"Hate yourself for not being so lucky?"

"No, I hate everything, as if it was fate"

"Oh, fate, modern science doesn’t believe in this stuff. Just like pi, you can never see the end of it. Even if you count it from the beginning of the universe one trillion times per second, you still can't count it until the end of the universe. You can't even count pi, so how can you count it to the end? What about fate. This is the victory of mathematics and the victory of infinity"

"However, even if the end is not reached, the last hundred are basically enough."

"But the numbers after one hundred still exist, don’t they? Since they exist, they cannot be ignored. Moreover, there is not just an infinity of pi in our lives, but an infinite number of infinities. We are surrounded by infinite infinities with no end in sight. With so many infinities, even some miracles are possible, right?"

"Do you believe in miracles?"

"Don't believe it, who can believe that stuff?"

"……"

"By the way, I made an amazing discovery recently, do you want to know?"

"In no mood. Yakumo completely ignored my words and continued in a tone of telling weird stories:"Recently I discovered that the number three may be the number closest to God. You see, like three, all things are born, and there is a trinity." , they all start with three, and pi. The first infinity we know also starts with three. Don’t you think there are hands secretly manipulating it to make the special number three be noticed by us?"

"so what"

"Lend me three hundred and pay it back next month"

"roll."

However, with his sweet words, I still borrowed it. In the end, he even shamelessly added the cost of the meal.

Oh, this insidious and cunning man! After having a break-up dinner with Yakumo , I embarked on my way home alone again, thinking that I would never have a meal with others like this for a long time, and I couldn't help but feel relieved. This is the life I should have.

On the way, I passed a bridge and my eyes stayed on the dark water for a long time. In this moment when there was no moonlight and no lights could shine on the water, the bottomless darkness attracted my eyes like an abyss.

Unconsciously , I stopped on the bridge and listened carefully to the sound of the river flowing by. However, due to the interference of the sound of tires rolling on the ground in the distance, my listening was not smooth. There was a time when I often listened like this, listening to the sounds of all things. , although I have to do this, I also like to do it. The sound of everything bursting out fascinates me and makes me feel that this world is alive. Except for the sound of the beating heart, it is the only one that is annoying to death...

But here it is At that moment, a pleasant voice suddenly sounded from behind me, pulling me back from my past thoughts.

"Hello, boy."

I looked toward the voice and saw that the person speaking was a beautiful woman wearing takeout clothes.

"What are you doing? Staying there all the time."

"Nothing, just take a look"

"have a look? I advise you not to do anything stupid. The water is very cold today."

"I don't have that idea, thank you for reminding me"

"How old are you?"

I was puzzled by her sudden change of question and the way she asked the question. When asking someone's age, shouldn't you say how old or how old you are? The way she asked the question was as if she was asking a child.

Although I was confused, I didn't think too much about it. Thinking about such a trivial matter, I just answered twenty-two, but after thinking about it carefully, I immediately changed my answer and said twenty-three.

"ah? How old are you?"The woman showed a suspicious expression.

"Twenty-three, just passed a few days ago"

"When is your birthday?"

Is it necessary to ask such a detailed question? I thought about the reason why she asked me this, but I couldn't think of it for a long time. Because I didn't want her to wait too long, I finally said it.

"September 21"

"Graduated from college?"

"Um"

"Oh, I thought he was a high school student again, but he turns out to be a social animal who looks similar"

"……"

The person looked at me again and again with her eyes closed, as if she wanted to see something strange in me. Perhaps she failed in the end. She sighed and curled her lips and said,"I'm meddling in other people's business, I'm sorry." La"

"Nothing……"

"Alas, this is for you, just think of it as the price for my meddling."The woman took out the takeout from the box and handed it to me.

"Isn't this what you want to give?"

"The address code given by XX is wrong, the phone number 87 is wrong, and the text message is not answered, XX, if that bastard dares to complain to me, I will kill him!"The woman changed the topic, and the anger just now disappeared like the spring breeze."I planned to bring home some food for the pets, but here it is. Although it's a little late, I'll just treat it as a birthday wish."

"No, no need. I've just eaten"

"Just take it if you are told to take it. That person ordered a double portion, and I just had one portion. Seeing that I still wanted to say something, the woman became a little impatient and said,"Go on, how long do you want me to mention it for.""

I caught it immediately, and the woman's expression softened accordingly.

"Thanks……"I looked at the takeaway in my hand and didn't know what to say.

The woman showed an expression of approval, then suddenly took out a pen and paper and wrote something on it. I watched her actions quietly the whole time. After she finished writing, she handed the note to me and said,"My name is Mia. , takeout is my side business, and my main business is cleaning up the Grim Reaper. If you want to die anytime, just give me a call." She smiled and said words that I could understand but couldn't understand.

After saying that, she turned the motorcycle handle and said before leaving:"Bye, young man." Then she disappeared in a flash, like a gust of wind, only slightly shaking my hair twice, and then disappeared without a trace. No trace left.

What a weirdo, I thought to myself. However, he doesn't seem to be a bad guy. Clean up the Grim Reaper? Did I hear wrongly...

I looked at the phone number she handed me. She asked me to call her when I wanted to die, but what does it mean to be like dying?
