Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

Chapter 237 Change

At 8:30 in the evening, most of my colleagues had already finished get off work and left the company.

Yan Chijuan was still at his work station. He had been waiting here after saying goodbye to Xu Niannian who had left earlier.

However, she is not without things to do. Recently, Gong Ao's R&D team has just completed the construction of a card system. Although the traces of imitation are still relatively obvious, it can be run at least.

Yan Chijiu had nothing else to do at the moment, so he simply focused on the testing of the card system.

As for the planning plan for this new card game, Gong Ao has already obtained it from Xu Xing, and members of the R&D team have seen it several times.

However, the production difficulty of this mobile card game, tentatively named "Myth Comes to the World", is not at the same level as those of former Tianshu Games. In addition, as the Chinese New Year is approaching, Gong Ao is not eager to launch it.

Research and development.

Xu Xing didn't make Gong Ao anxious either.

He is now very clear that with the continued development of mobile games, especially the performance of mobile phones and the popularity of 4G networks, future mobile games will increasingly develop in the direction of large-scale mobile games.

Although Xu Xing knows the gameplay and specific details of many popular mobile games, the deeper things he has designed are not so easy for him to copy.

The previous Fruit Assassin and Secret Escape were mainly successful in their unique and novel gameplay, and did not have high requirements on game producers.

If it is a very mature game team, once it obtains this novel gameplay idea, it may only take a few weeks to quickly produce it.

But when it comes to the game "Legend of Dota" that Xu Xing wants to imitate, although most people know that the subtlety of this game lies in the operation of card characters, skill release, skill interruption and other mechanisms.

Most of the usual card games simply rely on the value of the cards to compete, and in the end it becomes a simple comparison game.

Especially the bad card gameplay on the market, which is basically an IP shell like Three Kingdoms. The actual gameplay is a card battle. Whoever has a better card wins. If you want to win, you have to spend money to buy more cards.

Awesome card.

However, "Dota Legend" has added operations during card battles, such as interrupting enemy skills and matching the horizontal fighting animation of the card characters above, which requires players to always pay attention to the timing of releasing skills.

Instead of being like a normal card game, it's my turn to click on the card to release skills, and the enemy's turn can only be watched and waited.

but.

There is a very critical issue here.

Xu Xing is very clear about the advantages of this kind of gameplay, but he knows nothing about the specific values ​​​​of card characters, skill effects, and level settings.

No matter how good his memory is, he can't even remember such things.

So at this point, it is destined that the game cannot be solved by Xu Xing.

Therefore, in terms of gameplay and creativity, Xu Xing can give a very detailed planning plan and give it to Gong Ao for reference.

But in terms of specific game development, professional matters still have to be left to professional people.

Gong Ao is a veteran in this area, especially when he was the main planner at a certain degree and also served as a numerical planner, so he has excellent abilities.

It's just that the requirements for the game there in a certain degree are very rigid, so Gong Ao doesn't have much room to play, and all the goals are towards the purpose of cheating Krypton and forcing Krypton to win.

After arriving at Tianshu Games, although Gong Ao still had to make the game according to Xu Xing's wishes, Xu Xing's approach obviously made him feel much more comfortable.

Considerable freedom is given.

"Let's go."

Just when Yan Chijuan was thinking about the new game, Xu Xing had already walked out of the office and patted her on the shoulder.

"Oh, right now."

Yan Chijuan saved his work data, closed the computer, and immediately followed Xu Xing's footsteps, walking beside him happily.

But she didn't dare to hug Xu Xing's arm directly while they were still in the company. She waited until the two of them entered the elevator and no one else saw them, then she couldn't wait to get closer to Xu Xing.

"Are you used to sleeping there alone yesterday?" Xu Xing hugged her slender waist. Although there was a thick down jacket between them, he could still feel Yan Chijuan's petite and slender body.

Yan Chijiu rested her little head on Xu Xing's arm and shook her head gently: "I'm not used to it. It feels like the house is empty."

In the past, three people lived there together. In a house of more than 100 square meters, it was quite lively for three people.

But when Xu Xing and Xu Niannian went home, Yan Chijuan was left alone, and the whole house lost a lot of life.

Walking in the living room and looking at the empty room, Yan Chijue would feel lonely inexplicably, as if a piece was missing in his heart.

It's better to come to the company early, it's crowded and lively, and you can see Xu Xing.

The familiar smell in Xu Xing's bedroom could bring Yan Chijue a little comfort.

"If you feel that being alone is too boring, you might as well live with Yao Yuanyuan." After going down to the first floor and stepping out of the elevator, Xu Xing joked with a smile, "Of course, you can live directly at my house."

"No need." Yan Chijuan blushed, and then said seriously, "You still have to live in it, otherwise it will be a waste if the house is empty. After including water and electricity bills, the rent is four to five thousand a month."

"Silly." Xu Xing touched her head, then snapped his fingers in front of her and asked her, "Do you know what this is?"

"Ah?" Yan Chijiu was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Xu Xing meant, and subconsciously shook his head, "What do you mean?"

"Just when your boyfriend snapped his fingers, his company has already earned this month's rent."

"Well..." Yan Chijie blinked and scratched his head a little embarrassed, "That can't be wasted..."

To be honest, she had been with Xu Xing for more than four months, and she still felt like she was in a dream.

Especially for Xu Xing's personal wealth, I don't have a very intuitive understanding.

Although people who often read online talk about the valuation of Qunxing Company, the valuation of WeChat, the cash flow of Tianshu Games, etc., those are just numbers after all.

And Xu Xing is a living person.

Yan Chijuan sees everything in her daily life and work.

For breakfast, she ate Xiao Long Bao at the entrance of the community, for lunch and dinner, she ate box lunches arranged by the company, and she and Sister Nian Nian bought all the clothes she wore. The most expensive ones only cost a few hundred yuan each.

The most valuable thing in his body is probably the pair of sneakers that Xu Niannian bought for him, which cost more than 2,000 yuan.

He was not even seen wearing an expensive watch that is the so-called symbol of a successful man.

My consumption level is exactly that of an ordinary college student. The largest amount of money I have spent in the past few months is probably to buy my current car, which cost about 300,000 yuan.

If this kind of thing were told, it would be difficult for many people to imagine it.

Especially combined with Xu Xing's age, being able to remain calm in the face of huge wealth is really a rare quality.

Under the influence of Xu Xing, Yan Chijuan did not change his consumption habits at all.

Although we no longer worry about buying things as much as we used to, we are still more persistent in areas where we can save money.

So much so that when Xu Xing wanted to buy her some new clothes, she would refuse him on the grounds that "I already have clothes to wear, so I don't need to spend any more money to buy them."

Of course, if Xu Xing secretly bought clothes and gave them to her, Yan Chijuan would still be very surprised and happy.

And he will definitely spend money secretly to buy new clothes for Xu Xing.

To put it bluntly, Yan Chi Jiu was the worst at saving money when it came to spending money on Xu Xing.

After getting into the car, Xu Xing sat in the passenger seat, while Yan Chijuan got into the driver's seat very skillfully. After fastening his seat belt, he drove Xu Xing towards the barbecue restaurant next to Min University.

…

Guanxiu BBQ Restaurant is located in a small alley in the snack street opposite Min University.

The flow of people here is not large, and there are many barbecue shops on the snack street, so the business of Guanxiu Barbecue Restaurant has always been relatively average. It relies entirely on the freshness of the meat and the low price to attract customers. Among students, The reputation is very good.

There are three people in Guanxiu BBQ restaurant. The owner Wang Guanxiu’s husband passed away early, so she inherited the barbecue restaurant and raised her two daughters alone.

Now the younger daughter is ten years old and is in elementary school. The older daughter is twenty years old this year. She has not gone to school since graduating from junior high school and helps Wang Guanxiu to run a barbecue restaurant.

With the help of his eldest daughter Li Wanting, the business of the barbecue restaurant is finally getting better.

"Aunt Xiu! Is there any grilled fish left today?!"

At almost nine o'clock in the evening, Wang Guanxiu in the barbecue restaurant heard a familiar voice, operating the skewers on the charcoal grill. She looked up and saw Lu Pengyou walking in from the door, and immediately smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes." Who are you today?"

"Four of you, let's get together with just a few of us in our dormitory." Lu Pengyou took a box of beer from the refrigerator very familiarly, "After finishing today, we will go home to celebrate the New Year."

"Hey, don't take it yourself." When Wang Guanxiu saw him taking a whole box of beer, he quickly said to Li Wanting who was helping him next to him, "Go and help others, how can you let the guests do it themselves?"

"Come on, come on." Li Wanting, who was wearing a white turtleneck sweater and an apron, quickly wiped her hands on the apron and stepped forward to help Lu Pengyou.

But Lu Pengyou shook his head in a familiar manner, walked straight out of the store and walked towards the open-air seats outside: "It's okay, you can just be busy."

With that said, he said to Jian Jiashu and Zhang Nong: "You two order food first, grill the skewers and so on, and ask Lao Xu when he will arrive."

"I asked, we're still on the way."

Jian Jiashu responded while starting to choose the skewers.

But Zhang Nong was not in a hurry. Instead, he walked over to the charcoal grill and took a few glances. He asked Wang Guanxiu in an investigative mood: "Aunt Xiu, is the business good today?"

"That's right." Wang Guanxiu nodded with a smile, "It's not all thanks to you."

In fact, apart from the table where Lu Pengyou and the others just arrived, there is only one other table of customers in the store.

But there were four or five barbecue plates on the grilling table next to Li Wanting. Such a large amount was obviously not the meal ordered by the two guests on the other table.

Combined with the takeout boxes placed on the table on the other side, it is not difficult to know who ordered these barbecues.

In the past, Guanxiu Barbecue Restaurant's business mainly came from students and teachers from several surrounding universities.

And due to the fierce competition among barbecue restaurants around the university, the business of Guanxiu Barbecue Restaurant is not particularly good. It can only be said to ensure that their family of three can survive.

Especially Wang Guanxiu, who had to prepare ingredients during the day and be responsible for barbecue, delivery and cashiering at night. He was very busy and physically exhausted.

If Li Wanting hadn't given up her studies and returned home to help run the barbecue stall, the family's life would have been even more difficult.

And there is another problem with the flow of people around the university.

First, it is cyclical. During winter and summer vacations, the flow of people will drop sharply, but rent is indeed a real cost.

Second, it is more difficult to build up reputation, because most college students leave this place after four years, and old customers do not stay for long. Those who keep coming to patronize their store are teachers who have been working in universities.

And under such circumstances, the takeaway food appeared.

Guanxiu BBQ Restaurant was one of the first merchants to join the E-Me platform, and it successfully reaped the first wave of takeaway bonuses.

At the beginning, several other barbecue restaurants on the snack street were not willing to settle in. Guanxiu BBQ Restaurant was the only one on the Eat.me platform that served barbecue.

So much so that in the first month after Chime went online, Guanxiu BBQ Restaurant’s takeout orders quickly exceeded their store’s sales.

In the first week, at almost 9:10 pm, all the ingredients prepared for the day were consumed.

During that time, Li Wanting and Wang Guanxiu's hands were shaking.

On the one hand, I have been making skewers all day long and my arms are so sore. On the other hand, I am watching the income on my account soar, filling my heart with joy and disbelief.

The sales volume in October alone is equivalent to the sales volume in the previous three or four months.

This situation was relieved a little until other barbecue restaurants noticed that something was wrong and joined the Chime platform.

However, as the first barbecue restaurant to eat crabs, Guanxiu BBQ Restaurant has successfully cultivated the consumption habits of some customers who love barbecue.

Even if a new barbecue restaurant opens in the future, they will still be able to earn far more income than before.

"It's just helping each other." Zhang Nong smiled, "There were many shops around at first, and it was Aunt Xiu who helped us convince them."

"That's because you have the skills." Aunt Xiu shook her head and laughed, "Go and pick something to eat. I'll grill the fish for you later so I won't waste your time."

"Call me if you need me." Li Wanting, who was next to her, also added with a smile, "Otherwise, if I neglect you, my mother will bury me again."

After being answered by Li Wanting, Zhang Nong rarely avoided his gaze and subconsciously took a half step back: "Well, then I'll pick out the skewers."

[Lu Pengyou]: Brother Xu, where are you? The skewers have all been picked. What do you want to eat? Let’s prepare them for you first.

【Xu Xing】:Here he comes, he will be there soon.

On the roadside, in the car.

Xu Xing sat in the passenger seat, holding Yan Chiju, who had been warm for a long time, in his arms. He patted her butt and said with a smile, "Is it almost done? Do you want to have barbecue?"

"No need, just go and go." Yan Chijiu shook his head, pecked him on the face, and climbed back into the driver's seat obediently, "I'm going to go play with Sister Yuanyuan. You can call me after you finish eating."

I'm fine, I'll pick you up."
