Rebirth 86: I use games to kick open the door to the world

"The sun is shining in the sky ~ the flowers are smiling at me ~ the bird says, early, early, early..."

Ma Baocai was playing Squirrel Fight alone at home and humming nursery rhymes. Unknowingly, he had reached the third level.

What he does every day during this period is stay at home and play squirrel war.

Ever since Zuo Zhen gave him the floppy disk of Squirrel Wars, he didn't want to leave the house.

Under normal circumstances, Uncle Ma would never allow Ma Baocai to stay at home alone on weekends, because he knew that this kid would definitely run around.

But recently, he felt at ease. Even if Uncle Ma was at home, Ma Baocai would only go out to play with friends.

This made him feel much more at ease.

About ten minutes later, there was a knock on Ma Baocai's door.

"Come right now, come right now!"

Ma Baocai immediately pressed the pause button and rushed to the door to open the door.

"Ding Chenhui, you're here! Come in quickly!"

Ma Baocai enthusiastically invited Ding Chenhui, who was the same age as him, into the house.

Ding Chenhui said: "You said on the phone that there was a huge fun thing. What was it? Is it a toy that your dad bought you from abroad?"

"Hehe, my parents didn't buy it, I earned it. You'll know when you come in."

After welcoming Ding Chenhui in, he took Ding Chenhui to the room where the computer was.

"Dang-dang-dang~ Look, this is the super fun thing I told you! I guarantee you will never forget it after playing it once!"

"Is this a cartoon? The pattern looks so bad. Look at this picture, there are still small squares."

Ding Chenhui was a little disappointed. Is this the fun thing Ma Baocai said?

How can this be fun? It's just a cartoon.

"Hey, you don't realize it at first glance. This is a video game!"

"I think I heard it from my brother, but is it really interesting?"

"Of course, I've heard of the video games you mentioned, but I guarantee they're not as fun as this!"

Ma Bao sat back in his seat, then waved and said, "Come, let's play together."

"How to play this?"

"I'll teach you, it's very simple, jump up, down, left, right and throw..."

After a minute, the two started playing, and Ma Bao started the game again.

Accompanied by a rushing melody, two squirrels appear on the far left side of the screen.

"Okay! Start defeating the bad guys!"

"Don't pull my screen, just follow me!"

"Uh-oh!"

Ding Chenhui just stared at the screen in a daze.

Because he saw the little squirrel in the computer starting to move, and he also picked up a wooden box not far away and threw it forward.

Ding Chenhui has never seen this kind of entertainment.

Can it really be like playing a cartoon?

At Ma Baocai's urging, Ding Chenhui also moved, and then the two of them saw their first enemy, the mechanical cat.

It had sharp steel teeth, and the music sounded like the sound of mechanical metal friction and collision, clicking toward them.

"Come on, throw the wooden box out and smash this monster."

"Why did you throw the wooden box away!" Ding Chenhui was a little flustered.

"That's it. Didn't I teach you just now? You're so stupid. I'll do it!"

Ma Baocai skillfully grabbed a wooden box and threw it away, and the mechanical cat fell out of the screen.

Ding!

In Ding Chenhui's heart, it seemed that the door to a new world was slowly opening.

The next trip went much smoother.

With Ma Baocai's leadership, the two of them quickly passed the first small level, with almost no difficulty.

Ma Baocai played this first level, but he was very familiar with it. Clearing the level without spending a life is the basic operation.

Ding Chenhui's eyes opened wider and wider at this time, and his whole person seemed to become a little excited.

Especially when he also tried to throw boxes and defeat some monsters, he felt as if he was stimulated.

This cartoon is a bit rough.

But it can be played!

Being able to play it is much more interesting than just watching cartoons.

The immersion is immediately full.

Soon Ding Chenhui learned to trick Ma Baocai without any teacher. One moment he threw a box to Ma Baocai to make him faint, and the next moment he grabbed Ma Baocai's little squirrel and threw it out.

This made Ma Baocai very angry.

"Hey, hey, you're having so much fun!"

Ding Chenhui felt happier than ever before.

The joy of playing tricks on friends.

At this time, the door of the room was knocked again, and Ma Bao immediately pressed the pause button.

Ding Chenhui, who was having a great time playing, suddenly stopped laughing. He was a little anxious when he saw the paused scene: "Hey, why did it stop?"

Ma Baocai hummed and said, "You guys are not fun at all. I won't let you play anymore. I'll go to the door to pick you up first."

Ding Chenhui felt very itchy when he heard this. How could someone be so ignorant of timing?

The second person to arrive was Ma Baocai's other friend Anyang. He showed his previous attitude of welcoming Ding Chenhui, and then brought him to the computer.

But by the time Ma Baocai came with Anyang, Ding Chenhui had already finished the game.

He couldn't help but end the timeout and wanted to try a few games himself.

However, Ding Chenhui didn't last long without a boss to guide him, and both characters lost their lives in just ten seconds.

"You are so rubbish, you will be dead as soon as I go out."

Ding Chenhui blushed: "I don't have any, I'm just not proficient yet, I'll show you my strength now!"

"Then you take Anyang to play for a while."

Anyang's eyes widened when he saw it: "What is this?"

"How about video games? Are you handsome?" Ma Baocai looked proud.

"No! This definitely can't be a video game. I've played video games before, so I don't look like this!"

Anyang's head shook like a rattle.

At this time, families with computers at home were considered very wealthy, and not everyone had never been exposed to video games.

Some computers may come with some built-in games.

There is a game on the computer at Anyang's home. It is a game like Pac-Man from a bird's-eye view.

This is fun and interesting, but comparing the pictures is like the sky and the earth.

This day, this place, and this apple... are all represented vividly on the computer.

"Don't you know this? This is the latest one, and it's many times better than your game!"

Ma Baocai had also played Anyang’s Pac-Man type game before, and he still couldn’t forget it at that time.

However, after playing Squirrel War, he understood that there was a gap between games.

Now he can only express disdain for that Pac-Man type game.

It’s not that the game isn’t fun, it’s that the graphics are way behind the times.

"Can I play?" Anyang was full of desire.

Ma Baocai waved his hand: "Let's play!"

"yeah!"

Anyang sat down next to Ding Chenhui excitedly, eager to play.

Ma Baocai was already tired of playing, so he simply let the two of them play by themselves while he continued to pick up people at the door.
