National Game Producer

After stepping out of the elevator, He Ji suddenly stopped.

He thought of something.

"The reward you mentioned before is coming to meet my parents, right?" He tilted his head and looked at the girl beside him.

Apart from this reason, he really couldn't think of any other reason for the other person to suddenly change his gender.

Yu Suai pursed her lips tightly and stared ahead, not daring to look at him.

This is basically the default.

"Can this be considered a reward?" He Xu looked at her with some humor.

"Just tell me whether you want it or not?"

"I still want it...but can I add some other rewards?"

"I'll think about it." Yu Suai did not refuse.

"Okay." He Xu smiled, took out the key, and opened the door.

Yu Suai hid behind him and looked in cautiously.

The entrance is facing the past area, and you can just see the small half of the living room.

Even standing outside the door, she could see half of the wall-mounted TV that was turned on and hear the sound coming from the TV.

She glanced quickly and quickly retracted her head.

There is indeed someone in the living room!

Xu Xiurong, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, tightened the thick blanket around her body and looked back:

"What are you doing?"

"Pick someone up." He Xu responded while taking out two pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet.

"Pick someone up?"

Xu Xiurong looked surprised, "Who should I pick up?"

"The person you've always wanted to see." He Xu dropped his slippers on the ground and stepped away.

Yu Suai stood there very cautiously, smiled and bowed.

"Hello, aunt."

"Yu Suai!"

Xu Xiurong stood up in surprise and walked to the entrance unconsciously, "Why are you here?"

"Come to meet the parents." He Jiu interrupted.

"..." Yu Suai quickly lowered his head.

Xu Xiurong was stunned for a moment, then turned to glare at her son.

What is this brat talking about!

"Oh, actually she is here to tutor me in my studies."

He Xu said, seeing that Yu Suai had already changed into slippers, he pulled her straight to his bedroom, "She will stay here for lunch, so remember to prepare more food."

"etc……"

Xu Xiurong called out to the two of them with some hesitation, "What are you..."

"What's wrong?" He Ji looked at her.

"Well……"

Xu Xiurong thought for a while, then shook her head in confusion, "It's okay, you can study with peace of mind."

"Sorry for bothering you, Auntie." Yu Suai thanked her politely.

"No trouble, no trouble." Xu Xiurong responded with a smile, and then watched helplessly as He Xi took the little girl's hand and turned around and walked into the bedroom.

They even held hands, and they held them so naturally...

She blinked and quickly returned to her bedroom.

…

In the master bedroom, He's father He Yudong was lying comfortably on the bed and scrolling through his mobile phone.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he asked without raising his head:

"Who was outside just now?"

"That's the Yu Suai I mentioned to you before." Xu Xiurong replied.

He Yudong was stunned for a moment, put down his phone, and turned to look at her: "The little girl who is the first in grade in academic performance?"

"Well, that's her." Xu Xiurong sat on the bed and got into bed again.

"She is..." He Yudong was a little confused.

The information he knows is very limited.

If Xu Xiurong hadn't told him, he might still not know about Yu Suai's existence.

"Talk to your son."

Xu Xiurong pursed her lips slightly, "The two of us just entered the bedroom holding hands."

"Talk about..."

He Yudong murmured, and then said thoughtfully, "So, this matter is just like what you guessed before... He Ji became like this because of this Yu Suai?"

"Otherwise, what else could it be because of?" Xu Xiurong asked.

"Uh... It's much more useful for Yu Suai to control him than for us to control him!"

"Um."

"You don't like it?" He Yudong felt that something was wrong with her mood.

"No, I quite like it, but..." Xu Xiurong opened her mouth, but didn't know how to explain it.

When He Yudong saw this, he quickly understood: "Remember what happened when your son was in his first year of high school?"

"Yeah." Xu Xiurong responded in a low voice.

"Do you regret it now?"

"I have long regretted it."

"So, what are you going to do with this Yu Suai?" He Yudong asked with a smile.

"What do you think?" Xu Xiurong rolled her eyes at him.

This guy is asking questions knowingly!

"After that, it depends on them, whether they can keep going..." He Yudong sighed.

Xu Xiurong did not reply.

She hopes everything goes well, um... it shouldn't be too early to get married in college, right?

…

"Do I still need to help you study now?"

Yu Suai put down her backpack, turned around and listened to the movement outside, making sure that Xu Xiurong would not suddenly open the door and come in, and then sat down by the bed with peace of mind.

"I'm still thinking about getting a top ten rank in my grade before the college entrance examination."

He Xi walked to the desk and picked up the air conditioner remote control, "Would you like to turn on the air conditioner for a while?"

"Okay." Yu Suai nodded.

"I'll study for a while first, you can do whatever you want."

He Xi turned on the air conditioner, turned around and sat down at the desk, "In the afternoon, I will play games with you."

"real?"

Yu Suai's eyes lit up, and she became interested for a moment, but then quickly calmed down, "But apart from "Stardew Valley", there seems to be no other more interesting online games, right?"

In today's gaming circle, some online games that imitate "Stardew Valley" have naturally emerged.

However, since these games are still in their initial stages of exploration and have a serious lack of production experience, in terms of quality...

It can only be said that the future is promising.

"This is indeed a problem." He Xu frowned and thought.

“Shall we start a new episode of Stardew Valley?”

"Well... no, I still have some in stock."

"Inventory?" Yu Suai was slightly startled.

"It's a little game I made a long time ago."

He Xu picked up the [Editing Resonator] on the side, operated it twice at will, and then put it back, "I sent the game to you offline. You can familiarize yourself with the operation first."

After a pause, he added, "This game can be played by many people, and the more people there are, the more fun it will be. So if you are interested, you can call Liu Xiaoji, Tang Lin and the others later."

"no……"

Yu Suai was a little confused, "Why do you want to save the game you made a long time ago until now?"

If it is a finished product that can be played normally, shouldn't it be put on the shelves directly for sale?

"Because this game has no plot." He Xu said calmly.

"..."

Yu Suai looked confused, "Is there really no plot at all?"

"No."

He Xu shook his head, "It's just a pure joyful game."

"Well... I'll go up and take a look first." Yu Suai opened her backpack and took out the [Edit Resonator].

It is basically impossible for a social game without a plot to be accepted by the mainstream market.

The reason for this is simple.

——Weak/no plot social interaction, and the special immersion brought by competitive games cannot improve people’s mental strength at all.

And the inability to improve mental strength means that it cannot be recognized by the education community, scientific research community, etc.

This is also one of the main reasons why many sports competitions, chess and card competitions have not been made into games.

With this factor in mind, official game platforms will naturally become more stringent when reviewing game plots.

For a social game without a plot to pass the review process, it is no less difficult than making a high-quality game that can enter the "Top 100" list.

The reason why the online mode of "Stardew Valley" was initially accepted by people was simply because it was still a weakly social game with its own plot and world view even when online.

After a while.

Yu Suai successfully received and installed the game.

"What is this game called?"

"'Mankind Has Fallen Down'."

"Humanity has been utterly defeated..."

Yu Suai whispered and clicked on the game, "What a weird name."

"Why are you bothering so much about a game without a plot?" He Xu said with a smile.

"Then how exactly do you play this game?"

"As a person, I just solve puzzles and pass levels."

"Another puzzle..."

Yu Suai wrinkled her face and then asked, "Where are those two people?"

"Shatuo solved the puzzle and passed the level." He Xiu replied.

"Where are the five people?"

"Sand Game."

"You passed the level without solving the puzzle?"

"It can be ignored."

"Then I'll ask Tang Lin and the others if they are free in the afternoon." Yu Suai said, having already entered the game.

She was silent for a long time as she looked at the rough and angular irregular objects in the picture, as well as the white faceless noodle protagonist with only limbs, body, and head.

She remembered that the other party told her that many games of "Firebringer" were outsourced art, modeling, music, etc.

And this game right now...

"You made this game entirely yourself, there was no outsourcing?"

"Well, I never thought about selling it anyway."

"It feels ugly."

"As long as it's fun, why do you care so much?"

"Hmph~" Yu Suai hummed in a slightly high-pitched tone. Regardless of whether he could see it or not, she unconsciously made a face. Then she controlled the noodle man and began to study how to solve the puzzle and pass the level.

He Xu looked back at her, pursed his lips and chuckled, then turned back and looked absently at the gloomy sky outside the window.

Perhaps, compared to revitalizing the game circle that has been ruined by capital... it is more difficult to make weak/no plot social and competitive games popular throughout the world, and to make the mainstream market accept weak/no plot social and competitive games.

Half an hour later, Yu Suai took off her VR glasses.

"It feels so difficult to play...it's hard to solve the puzzles and even harder to operate. The key is that the Noodle Man is too soft, so it's very difficult to move anything around."

"Let's all play together in the afternoon. It's really not interesting to play alone." He Xu said.

"Yeah." Yu Suai responded, put the [Editor Resonator] aside, and took off her coat.

After a while.

She suddenly thought of a question.

"In other words, this "Humanity Failed", without emphasizing the online social attributes, should be released as a pure physics puzzle game, right?"

"Okay." He Jiu responded.

"Then why did you..."

Halfway through Yu Suai's words, she thought of the answer, "Are you worried that the 'Fire Bearer' will be targeted?"

"almost."

He Jiu nodded, "A pure puzzle-solving game without a plot is not as recognized as a plot-based game. If coupled with a strong online social attribute...those seniors will probably blame me for not making a good game. I have to deal with it."

I'm disappointed."

Emmm…

This is indeed an issue that cannot be ignored.

Yu Suai frowned in distress.

"So, I plan to release these games that cannot be accepted by the mainstream market on the 'Solar' account." He Xu chuckled.

"'Solar'?"

Yu Suai was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Is this the account you used to publish "Mirror" before?"

"Well, this was also the original purpose of creating that account." He Xi replied.

Praise the sun...

He thought silently in his heart.

"I thought you just wanted to be pornographic..." Yu Suai pursed her lips slightly and gave him a strange look.

"I've already said that I did it to correct the incorrect views of young people!" He Jiuyi spoke sternly.

"Okay, okay, I believe you!" Yu Suai responded with a chuckle.

…

The time soon came to noon.

Xu Xiurong has already prepared lunch in the kitchen.

He Jiu put away his thoughts of continuing to study and turned to ask Yu Suai:

"Should we go outside and wait, or should we stay in the bedroom a little longer?"

"Well... wouldn't it be impolite if I didn't go out now?" Yu Suai hesitated.

"You are tutoring me in my studies!" He Xi emphasized.

Yu Suai pursed her raised lips and said softly: "Then let's go out later."

"Do I need to be more mentally prepared?" He Xun asked.

Yu Suai lowered her head and didn't want to pay attention to him.

He Chu had nothing to do, so he picked up his phone and browsed Bilibili and Weibo.

When checking the private messages on Weibo, he found Fang Yi's private messages again.

Herald: You win.

Pioneer: In the next few years, I probably won’t have much chance of surpassing you.

He Xu frowned slightly and typed a reply.

Firebringer: What's going on?

He didn't expect the other party to reply immediately, so after sending the message, he exited the chat interface and checked other private messages.

After a while, when he returned to the private message interface, he found that the other party had already given a reply.

Herald: Nothing.

Pioneer: I just want to get out of here.

Pioneer: The company above me will probably start to fully intervene. You should be careful next year.

Pioneer: Stick to your own ideas, don’t be easily influenced by others, and don’t just believe those who say they will help you realize your dreams.

Herald: Those people are idiots!

Pioneer: That’s it, we won’t talk anymore.

Fire Bearer:?

Firebringer: What's going on?

He Jiu waited for a long time without receiving a reply. He re-read the other party's messages several times and probably had a guess in his mind.

I guess this is another story of shattered dreams, right?

'So, after all, we still have to break the existing pattern...'

He sighed slightly in his heart.
