Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

Fruit Assassin officially logs into the App Store on the 20th.

Of course, judging from Xu Xing's local time, it should be the early morning of the 21st.

On the 21st, the number of downloads of Fruit Assassin in 24 hours was only 22.

By the 22nd, the number of downloads had increased to 32, but the growth in downloads compared to yesterday had slowed down.

Li Zhibin saw it and was anxious in his heart.

But when I thought of Xu Xing's always calm appearance, I felt embarrassed to look for him on QQ again, so I posted several QQ updates in succession, recommending friends to download them and play with them.

So much so that his classmates laughed and teased him, asking Li Zhibin if he received advertising fees for this game.

Li Zhibin almost fainted from anger when he saw these remarks.

Because he really never got a penny from this bitch Xu Xing!

Well, I still got it before, such as when Xu Xing asked him to go downstairs to buy things and run errands...

On the 23rd, the above number rose again. This time, the number increased, and the total downloads increased from 32 to 56, which gave Li Zhibin a glimmer of hope and dawn.

Another day passed, and 56 turned into 68, and then went back down again. Li Zhibin's mood also went on a roller coaster, up and down, so exciting.

He didn't know how long it would take to recover the cost after the sales volume increased from 68 to 10,000 copies.

…

August 25, morning.

On the military training ground of Min University.

Before the military training started, squad leader Xue Weiqiang called the four girls in the class and gathered the 48 people in the class together to explain some matters about the school.

"The first is the class dues." Xue Weiqiang looked at the things recorded in his notebook and said one by one, "Each of us collects 100 yuan in class dues, which is mainly used for various expenses of the class. The specific income and expenditure will be reported in the future.

Announce it in the QQ group, and those of us who haven’t joined the group yet should remember to join it.”

"After the class fee is collected this time, it is mainly for the class meeting activities of our class after the start of school."

"The content of the event has not yet been decided. The event time is tentatively scheduled to be in the afternoon and evening after the opening ceremony. I hope everyone can come and participate, which can enhance our relationship with each other."

Having said this, Xue Weiqiang paused again, looked at the students who didn't have much reaction, and continued after careful consideration: "My girlfriend is in business administration, and she is also the secretary of their class league committee. If you don't mind, the class meeting will be held at that time."

We can socialize with their class."

"Well, there are 37 girls in Engineering Management Class 2, and the male to female ratio is almost 1:3."

Having said this, Xue Weiqiang paused again.

Immediately, there was a burst of strong cheers on the playground.

Upon hearing that there would be more than thirty girls, the group of animals immediately howled with excitement and shouted, "Long live the squad leader."

The four girls in the same class looked askance at these guys, especially Li Nan and Xue Hong. They clearly felt suppressed by the number of female workers and management girls, and were very contemptuous of the lackluster performance of these boys.

In comparison, Xu Yingying is much more indifferent. After all, the advantage lies here and cannot be targeted in terms of quantity.

Yan Chijuan didn't think much about it. Anyway, as long as the boss also participated, it would be fine.

After waiting for the boys to cheer, Xue Weiqiang raised his hand and pressed it down to signal everyone to calm down, and then turned to another topic:

"The school's scholarship application for poor students has now begun. Students in class who are in need can come to me for consultation at any time."

“Including the time, requirements and specific procedures for applying for a quota, you can also check it online on the school’s official website. You can check it all.”

"Students who need to apply can come to me to get the application form directly, or download and print the application form from the official website. After filling in the relevant information, give it to me before the 28th."

After talking about this, Xue Weiqiang talked about several other trivial matters, including everyone's online student status registration, one-inch photos of student ID cards, etc. After that, the military training officially began.

At noon, Xu Xing went to have lunch with his roommate. Xu Niannian also came to give Xu Xing a meal ticket and ordered several of Xu Xing's favorite foods, which won Xu Xing's heart.

"How's the game going in your studio?"

While eating, Xu Xing did not forget to joke, "Are you excited?"

Xu Niannian had just seen the number of downloads of Fruit Assassin. It has not yet exceeded 100, only more than 70. He suddenly turned his head in depression: "I don't want to talk to you."

This is the first work project I participated in. I originally felt confident after playing it. Such a fun game must be downloaded by many people. However, after a few days, the download volume turned out to be so miserable.

There are currently a total of 75 downloads. Even if it sells for 3 US dollars, the sales volume is only 225 US dollars. If the Pineapple Company takes 30% of it and deducts various taxes, it is estimated that it can actually reach the hands of the company.

Half would be good.

If you calculate it this way, the net income of more than one hundred US dollars is converted into local currency, which is only six to seven hundred yuan, which is about four thousand yuan a month.

Such a small amount of money is not even enough to pay the salaries of project participants.

Not to mention becoming a hit.

However, Xu Niannian still feels that it can be saved: "Don't worry, just wait and see, this game will be officially recommended today, I think there is still hope."

After all, it is the first project in his life that he has participated in. In Xu Niannian's eyes, this game is just like his own child.

Now seeing that her child's grades are so poor, this mother must feel very uncomfortable.

If it wasn't Xu Xing who said this to tease her, Xu Niannian would have given her a slap in the face.

However, Lu Pengyou, who was standing next to him, heard their conversation and asked curiously: "What game are you talking about?"

"Oh, it's a small game that my sister participated in the production of." Xu Xing said casually, "It seems that the results are dismal so far, and I feel like I'm going to be thrown out of business."

Xu Niannian was confused and rewarded him. He glared at him and said: "Where did you rush to the street? Don't give me nonsense, it's still early."

When Lu Pengyou heard what they said, he immediately became interested. He quickly took out his mobile phone and asked, "What's your name? I'll download one to play with."

"It's called Fruit Assassin, but it's a US game. You have to download an ID there first."

"Wait a minute." For a guy like Lu Pengyou who has strong execution ability, these tedious procedures are really not a problem for him, so he immediately put down the tachyon and started operating.

"First, register your ID, then go online and buy a gift card that can be redeemed for U.S. dollars. After entering the redemption code, you can find the game and pay to download it."

Xu Xing was on the side giving guidance. Anyway, making one more person's money was money, and he didn't mind it either.

But at this time, Xu Niannian looked at him with a strange expression.

"Why are you so skilled?"

Xu Xing: "..."

Hiss... Oops... I was almost exposed.

Fortunately, Xu Xing was smarter and curled his lips and said, "This game was made by Li Zhibin's sister. This kid has been complaining to me all day about his poor grades and insisted that I take the next one."

When Xu Niannian heard his explanation, he burst into laughter, patted his back hard, and said nothing more with a smile.

And Li Zhibin asked him to download it?

Xu Niannian didn't believe it.

I had refused to let him download it before, let alone others.

Xu Xing must be belittling the game on the surface, but secretly he felt sorry for her sister, so he secretly figured out how to download the game in the US.

Although one download is a drop in the bucket, it also represents Xu Xing's concern for her sister.

Thinking of this, Xu Niannian suddenly became happy. Even Xu Xing's anger at teasing her was gone. She just felt that her brother's duplicity was so cute.

Xu Xing was almost startled by her, thinking that Xu Niannian had discovered the conspiracy behind it.

But then I heard her smile and say: "Don't be shy, what are you talking about Li Zhibin? Just say no for my download."

Xu Xing: "..."

He was a little hesitant now.

After the domestic version of Fruit Assassin is launched, will he still have a showdown with Xu Niannian?

I felt like I was afraid of being bitten to death by this showdown.

"I'm done!"

Lu Pengyou, who was opposite, raised his mobile phone and shouted, "Come on, come on, let me help Senior Xu taste it!"

With that said, before Lu Pengyou finished his meal, he clicked on the Fruit Assassin that he had just downloaded and started playing according to the novice guide.

Five minutes later.

"Brother Lu, can we finish our food first?"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I'll have enough to redeem this skin soon."

"We still have to go back to the dormitory."

"Then don't eat, let's go directly."

"Don't you want any of these dishes?"

"The game is important, at least I will buy some bread later."

"Then let me help you eat."

Xu Xing stretched out his kuai and picked up a chicken wing, not forgetting to give Zhang Nong one as well: "Come on, come on, we can't waste food anymore, help Brother Lu solve this problem."

Zhang Nong looked down at the extra chicken wings on his plate and didn't even have time to refuse.

When Xu Xing stuffed the chicken wings into the rice he had eaten, he couldn't refuse and sent them back.

So Zhang Nong had no choice but to nod and accept, picked up the chicken wings with his kuaizi, and when he lowered his head and bit into it, he felt as if he had never eaten chicken wings in his life.

Then there was a big mouthful of rice and seaweed soup. Zhang Nong chewed it carefully and felt his taste buds bloom.

In fact, these days, the roommates also know that Zhang Nong's conditions are not very good. Every day, he only eats two large pieces of rice, a vegetable, and a large bowl of seaweed soup to fill his stomach.

The daily food expenses are no more than ten yuan, and in a month, I won't even use 300 yuan.

Lu Pengyou also generously shared his meat dishes before, but Zhang Nong didn't want any of them.

On the contrary, Xu Xing, the shameless person, got in trouble a lot.

If Xu Xing hadn't been caught off guard and struck preemptively today, Zhang Nong would probably have refused.

But now that it has been taken into the mouth, it is impossible to spit it out again.

Xu Xing and Jian Jiashu glanced at each other by chance, then smiled at each other, and then looked at Lu Pengyou who was still playing the game.

Anyway, who knows who is acting and who is really addicted.

…

After eating, Xu Niannian sent Xu Xing back to his dormitory, and then returned to his dormitory to continue working.

As soon as Xu Xing came back, he sat down on the chair and opened the Pineapple computer that Lu Pengyou had given him the right to use for half a month. After opening the mailbox, he found that he had received another email.

The signed sender is still the recommendation department of the App Store.

The content of the email is very simple, it is a more specific explanation of the exposure rules and time schedule of the "Latest Games" column.

From 12:00 noon on August 25th local time until 12:00noon on September 1st, the recommended time will be maintained for a week.

If the recommendation effect is excellent and the sales volume of Fruit Assassin is excellent, then further recommendation position exposure will be obtained in the future.

On the App Store, the category of games with paid buyouts is a very large category. After clicking to enter, wherever you can see the game at a glance, it basically corresponds to a recommended position.

These games that can appear in the recommended position are all arranged by the App Store recommendation department.

Among them, the column recommendation of "Latest Games" is not in a particularly conspicuous place. Users need to click on the game category and then click again to enter a secondary page to find the recommended position of "Latest Games".

Although it is not as popular as the exposure on the game category homepage, it is not easy for a new game to get this position.

Xu Xing doesn't expect too much.

Since the exposure on the platform may not be enough, he will naturally find ways to make up for it elsewhere.

In the early hours of this morning, Fruit Assassin will be on the recommended position of the App Store, so all the previous arrangements can be gradually arranged.

Thinking of this, Xu Xing logged into the external network through Lu Pengyou's Pineapple computer and contacted the major bloggers who had signed contracts one by one.

It took more than two months to gradually weave the net, and now it can finally be tightened and the fish can be harvested.

…

"Brother Xu."

Just as Xu Xing finished operating the computer, Zhang Nong suddenly came over and whispered to Xu Xing, "Can I ask you a favor?"

"Huh?" Xu Xing raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise, but still said, "You say."

"That's it... what the squad leader said today about the declaration of poor students." Zhang Nong glanced at the computer on Xu Xing's desk and asked, "Can you help me check on the school's official website? About the application qualifications and procedures.

s things."

"Oh, this." Xu Xing nodded, and immediately used the computer to log in to Min University's official website to help him inquire about scholarships for poor students, "Wait a minute, I'll look for it."

Now that school is about to start, it’s easy to find information about poor students.

Xu Xing quickly clicked on the application instructions for the scholarship for poor students and showed it to Zhang Nong.

Lu Pengyou, who was on the side, thought they were looking at something good-looking, so he quietly came over, only to realize that the two of them were looking at this thing: "Does Zhang Nong want to apply for this?"

"Yeah." Zhang Nong never deliberately concealed this, he just said in a low voice, "I still have more than a thousand yuan left to pay for my tuition."

His father died young, and now he only relies on his mother to support the family's expenses with two to three thousand yuan a month.

Half of the money spent on grandma's medical treatment and medicine alone was spent. Of the remaining half, only about 600 yuan could be sent to Zhang Nong. The rest was the living expenses of his mother and grandma.

Zhang Nong currently only has a small amount of two thousand yuan that he has finally saved. According to his current consumption expenditure, out of the six hundred yuan a month, he can probably save more than three hundred yuan.

After applying to the school for a green channel at the beginning of the semester, the school has postponed his tuition payment.

But if possible, Zhang Nong would definitely hope to pay the tuition fees as soon as possible so that he would not be under so much pressure.

If he can get this scholarship for poor students from the school, it will relieve a lot of pressure on his mother and family.

"It should be no problem." Xu Xing downloaded the document for the scholarship for poor students together with the application form, "I'll go downstairs to the print shop and print one for you later."

"Well, thank you, Brother Xu."

After settling Zhang Nong's side, Xu Xingzheng planned to close the official website.

But the next second, his attention was attracted by one of the messages - [Instructions on the time and venue arrangements for the finals of Min University’s fifth Entrepreneurship and Innovation Competition]

Xu Xing blinked. He felt that this thing was a bit familiar. After subconsciously clicking to enter, he browsed for a while. At the bottom of the page, he saw several participating teams that successfully entered the finals of this entrepreneurial competition.

There is one team among them, whose name particularly caught Xu Xing's attention——
