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

Ten yuan a time, so if you can sell to twenty people at a time, it won’t be sixty yuan, but two hundred yuan?

Hiss~

Zuo Zhen was not particularly concerned at this time.

At present, the development of the domestic game industry is not good, and the main ones must be foreign.

But if there were people like Big Fatty Xing who were willing to take the initiative to help, he wouldn't mind giving these people some benefits.

Big Fatty Xing was happily dreaming about what he could do when he had money in the future.

It only costs three or four yuan to go out to a restaurant and have a good meal.

"I guess you won't have to go out tomorrow, unless you are more eloquent and can sell more games. But now if you want to play games, you need a computer, which most families still don't have."

"I have nothing to do. I'll go out to try my luck tomorrow. Maybe I'll meet someone on the road who has a computer at home."

Now is the most exciting time for Big Fat Xing. Nothing can stop Big Fat Xing from making money.

"Then do your best."

"By the way, the child that Lao Zuo asked me to find is not at home, and it seems that he won't come back for a long time."

"A long time? Do you mean Ma Baocai?"

"Yes, his neighbor said he went abroad."

Zuo Zhen remembered that their family was engaged in foreign trade, so it seemed normal to go abroad.

Big Fat Xing was still a little regretful, because he learned from Zuo Zhen that he could get a lot of customer information from Ma Baocai. As long as he helped Ma Baocai install the game, he could make a lot more money.

Now that Ma Baocai is gone, he can only find ways to find these people by himself.

…

Ma Baocai's family left China at the end of last year.

They made some money, and then thought they could give Ma Baocai a better life, so they decided to let Ma Baocai live and study abroad when he was a child. When the country's living standards and education standards improve, it will not be too late to come back.

Ma Baocai himself disagreed.

But he was just a child and had no right to choose. In the end, he had to reluctantly get on the plane to England.

Ma Baocai's father has arranged a school for him there, and Ma Baocai's mother will also go there.

Ma Baocai's father also promised that when Ma Baocai comes of age and finishes college, he can choose to stay in the UK or return to China.

It was already the beginning of the new year when we arrived in the UK. After the adults packed everything, they directly arranged for Ma Baocai to attend a nearby primary school.

Around mid-January, children in the UK end their holidays and officially start school.

Ma Baocai, who has an Asian face, looks very awkward among many children with Western faces.

Before coming here, Ma Bao was assigned to study English for a long time. At least he could manage some basic communication, but there was obviously still a long way to go before he could study and live normally.

After entering the class, Ma Baocai introduced himself at the teacher's request, and then the class officially started.

At the end of the day's course, Ma Baocai was still a little confused and didn't know what to do.

Then he spent several days in a daze, completely unable to integrate into the new environment.

Ma Baocai told his mother about this, but his mother just insisted and let it go. It was all for him.

At this moment, the only thing Ma Baocai can find comfort in is the few video games he brought over.

Contra, Squirrel Wars, Mega Man.

His favorite among them is the squirrel fight.

Because this game is the happiest when played with other friends.

But now he suddenly hates this game.

Because he has no partner...

He was depressed for many days, and it was not until his father showed up during the traditional Chinese New Year that he felt relieved.

Because his father brought Ma Bao an NGS game console and several popular games.

With the new game console, his feeling of loneliness has indeed diminished, but the uneasiness is still very strong.

British schools will not have a holiday for the Chinese Spring Festival, so you still have to go to school on the first day of the Spring Festival.

When he arrived at school, Ma Baocai sat silently in his seat without saying a word, feeling a little numb.

At this time, the teacher finally noticed Ma Baocai's condition and took the initiative to enlighten Ma Baocai.

This is a teacher from China. He had a good relationship with Ma Baocai's family before and came to the UK to study through him.

Under the guidance of this teacher, Ma Bao reluctantly agreed to have more contact with other students and stop being so self-isolated.

It's just that...as a child, he didn't know where to start contacting other people.

The main reason is that there is some language barrier.

You can't just say simple words like hello and OK every day, right?

In the afternoon, Ma Baocai continued to stay in his seat in a daze, waiting for school to end. He was thinking about what games to play tonight.

But at this moment, several children happily ran to the back of the classroom and discussed something, and several adults walked in from the back door of the classroom, pushing a cart.

Ma Baocai looked over there idly, then froze slightly.

On the packaging box, he saw some familiar patterns.

That's a pattern of a computer monitor, and then there's a pattern of a computer case.

Faintly, he could hear the happy shouts of these children.

Then the adult skillfully took the computer out of the box and placed it at the back of the classroom.

In the afternoon, a teacher came to explain to the children how to use the computer, from turning it on to shutting it down, and then running some basic programs in the computer.

But these children have little interest. What they are most interested in are the games built into the computer.

It was at this time that Ma Baocai's feeling of loneliness finally changed.

The moment he saw the game screen appear on the screen, he seemed to feel less lonely than when he returned home.

He couldn't help but walked to the computer and stood in the crowd watching one of the children playing computer games with great interest.

It seems to be a side-scrolling jumping game.

But the gameplay is too basic.

There is a lot of repetitive content in the picture.

But these children can still have fun playing.

Ma Baocai didn't understand very much.

His parents told him that foreigners have seen everything, so don't act like you don't know anything when you come out, otherwise you may be looked down upon.

But now, he sees these children as if they have never seen computers before.

At this moment, even in places like the UK not every home has a computer.

This time, the latest computers equipped by the school for each class were actually their first experience.

The game inside is also the first time these people have come into contact with it.
