Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

At noon, Xu Xing and Yan Chiju queued up to get rice.

Yan Chi was jealous when she saw that Xu Xing only ordered two vegetarian dishes, so she originally planned to order only one meat and one vegetarian dish, so she asked the cook to order an extra portion of Xu Xing's favorite pork liver.

The two of them carried their plates and started looking for seats. They originally found two empty seats on the way, but seeing the resentful look in Lu Pengyou's eyes at the next table, Xu Xing motioned to Yan Chiju to move to another place.

Finally, the two of them found a corner seat and sat facing each other against the wall, chatting while eating.

"Boss, when can we decide on the office location?" Yan Chijuan ate some meat and started eating vegetables from Xu Xing's plate.

I don’t know why, but the vegetables on Xu Xing’s plate always taste better than my own.

"It's still early, at least we have to wait until the military training is over." Xu Xing glanced at her and said strangely, "I understand that Yao Yuanyuan is anxious about this, why are you anxious about this?"

"I want to write code earlier." Yan Chijiu blinked innocently, "Now the games are on the shelves, but the Android version hasn't been developed yet. I always feel a little embarrassed that I got my salary for nothing..."

"No one of my classmates in the dormitory has brought a computer, so they can't work in the dormitory."

"We usually have military training, so we don't have time to go to Internet cafes outside. But I don't know if there is a computer room in the school that I can use."

"Uh..." Hearing the sincere words of his little employee, Xu Xing, the boss, felt a little embarrassed, "Actually, there is no need to be so anxious. Our studio doesn't have much money on hand right now, and we have to wait for the game to make money before we can turn over money.

.”

"Ah? Didn't the game go on sale today?"

"But just because it's on the shelves doesn't mean we'll make money right away." Xu Xing smiled and said, "Even if one million people buy the game now, we still have to wait until Pineapple Company settles the settlement next month before we can get the money."

"How many people have bought it now?" Yan Chijuan suddenly became energetic when he talked about money. Although he still asked in a low voice, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Ahem." Xu Xing couldn't bear to be asked about the game results by his employees with such expectation, but he still took out his phone, opened the App Store and took a look, then raised his eyebrows, "The download volume has doubled."

"Really?" Yan Chijue's eyes lit up even more, "That's amazing."

"Yes, indeed." Xu Xing nodded, "When I looked at it in the morning, there were six downloads, and now there are twelve."

Yan Chijue: "...?"

"Boss...is our game...lost?"

"Don't worry." Xu Xing took back his cell phone, his mentality as steady as an old dog, "There was no exposure in the initial stage. This level is normal."

"It's like when you used to stay in an Internet cafe, the only ones who found Yan Chijuan so beautiful were your classmates and the customers in the Internet cafe."

"But when you came to college, more people discovered that Yan Chijuan is beautiful."

"If one day you appear in the newspaper news or in a TV column, then more people will realize that you are beautiful."

"This is exposure, and the same goes for games. When there is no exposure, a temporarily sluggish download volume doesn't mean anything."

Xu Xing explained the important role of exposure to Yan Chijiu in a concise and concise way, making the little girl's face turn a little red. He took the tachyon and poked the rice with his head.

The two of them continued to eat.

Halfway through the meal, Yan Chiju suddenly asked: "Boss, why don't you eat pork liver?"

"Huh?" Xu Xing, who had just picked up a piece of chicken, didn't react for a moment and said directly, "What's wrong? Chicken tastes better, right? Pork liver is fine if you eat it occasionally."

"Ah?" Yan Chijuan was suddenly stunned for a moment, looked at Xu Xing and blinked his eyes, and was a little confused for a moment.

In her impression, didn’t Xu Xing like to eat pork liver?

When ordering just now, she specially ordered more of this dish.

It turns out that Xu Xing doesn’t like eating very much?

But……

Xu Xing obviously didn't pay attention to this, so he picked up two pieces of pork liver, and then Kuaizi aimed at the chicken.

After enjoying Yan Chi Ju's meal, Xu Xing took out his cell phone and handed it to Yan Chi Ju: "Let's play for a while and experience the game you made."

Only then did Yan Chiju come back to his senses and quickly took the phone. He didn't think about it anymore, but he already had a guess in his mind. He pursed his lips and didn't know what to say.

The two of them didn't go back to the dormitory at noon. They stayed in the cafeteria, chatting while experiencing Fruit Assassin, and talked about what could be improved.

After the military training in the afternoon was about to begin, the two of them returned to their respective square formations together.

Before the instructor arrived, Lu Pengyou restrained Xu Xing with a chokehold, and asked with a straight face: "Tell me the truth, where did you and Yan Chijuan go at noon? To the lake? To the woods? Or just go to a room directly?

Already?"

"What are you thinking about?" Xu Xing opened the guy's arm with a speechless expression, "It's just a matter of sitting in the cafeteria and chatting after dinner. It's not as exaggerated as you think."

"Really or not?" Lu Pengyou looked suspicious, "Have you held hands before?"

"Yan Chiju and I are not in a relationship, we are just friends." Xu Xing sighed, "I told you before, in fact, I have known her before, and..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Lu Pengyou was too lazy to listen to his nonsense, "Forget it, if you don't want to talk, I won't ask any more questions. I'll probably feel even more uncomfortable hearing you tell the truth."

Xu Xing: "..."

What he just said was the truth...

…

Military training continued, and Xu Niannian appeared on the playground in high spirits in the afternoon, bringing a cup of milk tea to Xu Xing and his roommate.

While Xu Xing was resting, Xu Niannian took out his mobile phone and shared with Xu Xing: "Hey, look, this is a game made by my studio. It's super fun. You can play it and see."

Xu Xing looked at Xu Niannian in front of him helplessly. He didn't know what to say, so he could only take her phone, play with it symbolically, pretending to play for the first time, and cut the bomb directly.

.

"Oh, you're so stupid. Bombs can't cut, they can only cut fruits, and you can get higher scores by cutting several fruits at once." Xu Niannian taught Xu Xing everything, and even squatted behind him.

, leaned over and held his hand from behind for personal teaching.

Xu Xing could only feel that Xu Niannian's soft hair was pouring down on his ears and neck, making it ticklish. He could also smell the familiar fragrance of her body in his nose.

"Don't get so close, it's too hot." Xu Xing quickly pushed her away with a look of disgust, arched his butt back slightly, and adjusted his posture.

"Who makes you so stupid?" Xu Niannian curled his lips, pretending not to notice when he was pushed away, and even touched Xu Xing a few times.

"This game is not that good." Xu Xing pretended that he was a little more proficient and started to cut fruit. "It's average. The gameplay is just cutting fruit. Most people will probably get tired of it after playing it a few times."

"What are you talking about?" Xu Niannian was dissatisfied when he heard this guy belittle the game he worked so hard for, "This game is so fun, okay? I played it from early morning to three or four o'clock yesterday. If I hadn't stayed up

If I can’t stop, I can keep playing.”

"Those are just game newbies like you." Xu Xing chuckled and returned the phone to Xu Niannian, "A game veteran like me is not very interested."

Although he said that, Xu Xing knew very well that the core group of players for casual mobile games like Fruit Assassin were people like Xu Niannian who were not usually exposed to serious games.

Although this group of people also have entertainment needs, they are usually not willing to spend a lot of time investing in large-scale games, and they cannot sit in front of the computer for a long time to play games.

But mobile phones are different.

With the popularity of smartphones, almost everyone will have at least one in the future. When they are free, they can take them out and play games that only take ten or even a few minutes.

This kind of fragmented time is obviously more suitable for the entertainment needs of people in the new era.

And large-scale games that require more than half an hour of sitting will gradually become a small circle of entertainment for a few serious players, and gradually separate from mass entertainment.

Games like Fruit Assassin even reached one billion downloads in a previous life.

This is equivalent to almost one out of every eight people in the world having this thing installed on their mobile phone.

However, I thought so in my heart, but it did not prevent Xu Xing from teasing his sister.

Xu Niannian couldn't compete with him in this aspect, so he got a little annoyed and tried to grab Xu Xing's phone. While doing so, he said, "Then I'll download one for you on your phone, and then you can give it to your classmates to play with. Let's see."

Do they like it or not."

"Hey, hey, don't touch it." Xu Xing quickly got up from the ground and ran away, preventing Xu Niannian from taking away his phone.

If Xu Niannian discovers that Fruit Assassin has been installed on his mobile phone, wouldn't it be very likely to be exposed?

Although you can also use the excuse of supporting Li Zhibin and his sister to excuse the past.

But as soon as he finished speaking ill of the game, he was found to have downloaded it on his phone. Wouldn't that be a slap in the face?

Although this game was originally made by him...

Fortunately, the instructor came to the rescue at the right time and told everyone to start training, so Xu Niannian had to let this guy go for the time being.

…

In the evening, the students returned to their dormitories after training all day.

Xu Xing lay on the bed after taking a shower, turned on his mobile phone and looked at QQ.

Since the beginning of the university, class monitor Xue Weiqiang established a QQ group, and Xu Xing has more QQ friends from university.

Naturally, the content in QQ space has also increased.

I opened it and browsed it out of boredom. Basically, everyone was sharing or complaining about military training.

Among them, the male compatriots' dynamic likes are very few, but the dynamic likes and replies of a few girls are ridiculously high.

Even if Li Nan, who has the lowest sense of presence, posted a post saying "I'm so tired from military training, I really want to drink milk tea", a lot of people liked it, and a few people joked below that they would invite me tomorrow.

As for Xue Hong and Xu Yingying, the news below is even more lively.

Xu Yingying posted a photo of her lunch today. There were two exquisite vegetarian dishes on the plate, with the text "Today is also a good day to lose weight~ I feel like I can lose a lot of weight after military training~".

So all the boys in the same class were replying below.

Things like "You are already thin enough now", "Is this food enough to eat? Are you hungry?" or "I also want to lose weight", etc. It's so lively.

It's a pity that Yan Chiju is the most popular girl among the boys in the class, but no one has ever added her on QQ.

After all, Yan Chijiu only has the PHS that Xu Xing gave her, and she doesn’t have a mobile phone that can log into QQ yet.

And in the past few days, many boys in the class have discovered the secret relationship between Xu Xing and Yan Chijuan, especially the fact that the two often eat together has basically spread in the class.

Then the news spread that Yan Chi was jealous of the famous beauty, and everyone had to focus on the other three girls.

But apart from that, there are also some boys who are not interested in this kind of thing.

For example, Zhang Nong and Jian Jiashu.

The former is so focused on studying that he is already previewing his freshman year courses before he even starts classes.

Jian Jiashu is obsessed with taking care of himself and seems to have little interest in girls.

Of course, I have no interest in boys either.

However, when Xu Xing was scrolling through the news, under the news where Xue Hong complained that "skin is tanned again", he saw that Jian Jiashu commented on Xue Hong's skin type in great detail, and then recommended a sunscreen suitable for her.

Xu Xing was a little surprised.

Xu Xing immediately stopped laughing, thinking that only things like makeup and skin care could arouse Jian Jiashu's interest.

I don’t know how this guy chose to major in computer science.

Continuing to look down, Xu Xing was about to exit, but he saw the news posted by Li Zhibin in the morning.

[A Bin]: I recently played a game, which was very fun. I would like to share it with you. I have recorded the download method in the picture below. You will definitely not regret it after playing it!

Good guy, this is really persevering.

Xu Xing smacked his lips.

And just when he saw Li Zhibin's updates, he happened to receive a QQ letter from this guy.

[A Bin]: There are only 18 downloads in one day, what should I do, Lao Xu?

[A Bin]: I did some calculations yesterday. Even if I just want to get my money back, I have to sell 10,000 copies to have a chance.

[A Bin]: Not to mention that you want to spend money to make other games later, what are you doing with just this few downloads?

Xu Xing was speechless when he saw the news about this guy Li Zhibin.

It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is.

[Yi Li Yanyu]: Is there a possibility that you don’t even have a salary now? When the game makes money, you can only get some bonuses at most. Why are you more anxious than me, the boss?

[A Bin]: Damn! Why are you always like this... When I care about you, you throw cold water on me.

[Yicao Yanyu]: Don’t worry, wait until it is recommended on the 25th, the current download volume is all empty.

When faced with Yan Chi's jealousy, Xu Xing patiently explained to others, and even teased a small employee along the way.

When it was Li Zhibin's turn, Xu Xing was more straightforward and just asked Li Zhibin to wait, without bothering to explain how important exposure is in this era.

[A Bin]: Do you want me to do the things you asked me to do after the military training? Do you want to see how the game sells before making a decision?

[Yi Li Yanyu]: No, by the time your military training is over, the Fruit Assassin side should have settled down.

[Yicai Yanyu]: I only ask you one thing.

【Abin】:What?

[Yicao Yanyu]: Don't be too happy when the time comes, just jump off the balcony of your dormitory.

[A Bin]:...You don’t have a serious word in your mouth!
