Chapter 28
Entering the game, Su Qiong chose the blue-haired wooden doll, and Mu Yunting chose the chubby male character. First, there was an animation of divorced parents and their daughter making a wish in the love book to prevent their divorce...
Mu Yunting had never played this game before, and he and Su Qiong read the plot summary very seriously.
"Which one am I? Oh, I'm this one." Su Qiong shook the joystick and saw the left half of the screen move accordingly.
There were small instructions for beginners at the bottom of the screen, and the two of them got started easily, running and jumping around their birthplace.
Su Qiong had never played an open-ended game like this, requiring a camera to move. She simply directed the blue man to move, then stopped and used her right hand to adjust the camera. However, running and jumping required releasing the camera to press four buttons, and she kept forgetting to adjust the camera. Soon, her vision was stuck in a strange place, and she couldn't see the blue man controlled by Mu Yunting.
Su Qiong remembered that the right joystick was the viewport, and moved herself to the open space. "How did you get up there?" She saw herself in a small corner far away on Mu Yunting's half of the screen, and it was obvious that he had climbed to a high place.
Mu Yunting had just spotted the glass jar and, following the instructions, sat down on it, smashing it. The small lightbulb inside disappeared after a flash of animation, clearly meaning he was going to chase it. "Look, there's a narrow, concave wall high up." He told Su Qiong to jump left and right to climb higher, while manipulating the little figure to find her. "Come up from here." He jumped down, then demonstrated by jumping back up again.
Su Qiong saw the instructions on the bottom half of the screen, said "oh" twice, and then jumped up. She quickly fell in love with this running and jumping game. She quickly learned to adjust the perspective while moving around.
"Jump-jump—sprint!"
"Jump, jump, sprint, sprint... Come on, jump, jump - sprint!" With a good grasp of the rhythm, she passed the fan cool run in one go. Instead, Mu Yunting was stuck in the middle and could not jump over the relatively rotating red fan blades.
Mu Yunting pursed his lips and leaned forward slightly. He hadn't expected Su Qiong to master it so quickly, needing no guidance from him. Instead, he was at a disadvantage. His fingers twitched the joystick, and once again, he misjudged the angle and sprinted into the void. Hearing Su Qiong's breath, he tried again from the starting point.
After dying twice more, two peeled Lychee Plum wrappers appeared on the table next to Su Qiong. The controller rested between her legs, and the character she controlled stood quietly at the mouth of the pipe in the distance. "Come on, come on! Jump again!" She reached out and took a sip of Coke. Speaking of which, Mu Yunting had almost finished a case of Coke, but he hadn't finished many bottles of Sprite yet. She and Mu Yunting were cola lovers, and Sprite was Chen Chuanbai's favorite.
Seeing Mu Yunting jump to death again, Su Qiong shifted. "Come on, let me help you move the camera, you control it!" She sat to Mu Yunting's right, her left hand conveniently reaching for his right joystick, avoiding his right hand on the button, and quickly turned her sights. It was Su Qiong's first time playing this kind of game, and she was too excited to play it, so she was eager to pass it. To move the camera more steadily, she placed four fingers on the back of the controller for leverage, her fingers just barely touching Mu Yunting.
The perspective was controlled, making walking more convenient, but the fat man twisted left and right, making the straight line look zigzag.
Mu Yunting leaned sideways, slightly bending his right arm to allow Su Qiong to better reach the camera joystick. He could still feel the warmth of Su Qiong's body across his bent elbow. He didn't dare move his fingers beneath the controller. His mind raced with joy, and he mechanically ran and jumped to the rhythm of Su Qiong's commands. When he came to his senses, he had already jumped next to the blue figure. Turning around, he saw Su Qiong cheering with a swig of Coke, and he took a sip of his own.
The Coke tasted bland in his mouth. His brain seemed to be thinking about something, but also seemed to be thinking about nothing. He continued to play with Su Qiong.
"When I say one, two, three, you move the joystick." Su Qiong, the blue figure, was blowing on the air vents, with the air in front of her sucking the wind downward. She had just tried to jump, but was sucked down and opened again. So, at the moment she needed to jump, Mu Yunting moved the joystick to the other half, reversing the direction of the three air vents connected to Su Qiong.
If you fail to jump over, the wind will change from blowing to sucking and you will have to restart; if you jump over but the direction of the wind outlet in front of you is not changed in time, you will be sucked down directly and you will have to restart.
Mu Yunting followed the command of "one, two, three" in his ear, changing the wind direction in time. He watched the blue man swiftly reach the other side and ran and jumped in place, cheering. It was Su Qiong's turn to change the wind direction. He jumped, imitating the "one, two, three" command, and successfully jumped to the other side, controlling the chubby man to catch up with Su Qiong, who kept pressing the sprint button.
At this time, Su Qiong was more like the big boss in charge, and Mu Yunting was the younger brother chasing after him.
