Chapter 24 Struggle
"Last year!" Wenxi interrupted, "I told you specifically, but you, a love-sick person, were not interested at all."
Including the time of her previous life, "last year" seemed too far away for Liu Wangxue. She tried hard to recall it and struggled to pick out some fragments in her mind.
I can’t remember exactly when, but it seems that during the live broadcast, a fan did mention a popular ancient style game and asked, "Did Wenxi Studio participate in the costume design and saw similar elements?"
Wenxi was right. At that time, Liu Wangxue was in the brainless period of "turning a deaf ear to the world outside the window and only caring about melodramatic love affairs."
"I'm interested now, okay?" Liu Wangxue took out his mobile phone, opened the APP store and searched for downloads. "Wow, more than 100 million downloads!" His pupils trembled and he looked at Xu Qingsong. He felt like he had lost money by selling the copyright for 200,000 yuan. Why?
Xu Qingsong has now become indifferent to the situation. When the game was launched, their small team thought it would be popular, but they didn't expect it to be so popular. They had dark circles under their eyes every day and kept fighting with the server. At one point, they were on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, the evil money saved them.
"This game became an instant hit as soon as it was released!" Lan Xiaoxi said while eating barbecue, "Sister Xuxu, you must try it, it's really brain-burning."
Tao Huayu insisted on changing the subject: "Hey, let's talk about clothes! Wenxi, just tell me, is there anything wrong with the clothes?"
Yue Cheng laughed at him: "Brother Yu, you are just looking for trouble somewhere else because you can't play the game well!"
Tao Huayu threw him a small orange: "Who told Xu Qingsong not to behave like a human being!"
On the mobile phone screen: [Your test has been completed]
When Tao Huayu mentioned this, he became angry and wanted to bite off the iron skewer: "It is because of this personality test that I was matched with a marginal figure! How can I solve the case? Xu Qingsong——"
Liu Wangxue understood immediately. In order to polish the script and make every character come alive, she wrote a complete biography for each character, even the supporting characters who only appeared in a few lines.
"Why?" Wenxi asked. She played this game purely to look at the costumes and sets. After she had seen and admired them, she put them aside and didn't pay much attention to them later.
[Matched character: Princess Ke'er of Lantian]
While he was talking, Liu Wangxue had already finished downloading and opened it: "Hey, why do we need to take a personality test?"
"This is one of the charms of this game," Xu Qingsong said while eating grilled chicken wings. "According to the different personality traits of the players, you can match them with corresponding characters. On the one hand, you have to play 'yourself' well and not ruin your character. On the other hand, you have to solve the case and pass the level to create an immersive life experience."
Liu Wangxue played for a few times and then stopped.
Tao Huayu quickly covered his mouth, and then Lan Xiaoxi took over the revelations.
"Why is it closed? Sister Xuxu," Lan Xiaoxi asked, "You are the only one around me who has matched with Princess Ke'er. I still want to watch the plot."
Lan Xiaoxi cast a sympathetic look: "Sister Xuxu, the difficulty of the game is hell."
Xu Qingsong said: "Every character starts with a dungeon. It is easier for the people of Dazhao to go to the main storyline, but the people of the surrounding small countries have to settle their own affairs before going to Dazhao."
Yue Cheng's gossip face came online: "That's why Brother Yu's character is always broken. He's stuck on the tenth case and can't get through it. He can't find any tutorials on solving the case online, and he asked Brother Qingsong, but Brother Qingsong ignored him. He was so angry that he smashed his phone hahahahaha"
When the person in charge contacted her to buy the copyright, she thought he was very generous, so she packed all the money and gave it away. Unexpectedly, all of them were taken advantage of. Why did she feel like she was at a loss again?
Amidst the laughter, several people gathered around Liu Wangxue to see what character she would be matched with after completing the test.
Yue Cheng recalled his experience with utter misery: "My first account was the eldest prince of Lantian. As a result, the entire country was destroyed by me. Not to mention going to Dazhao, I even lost my life. I had to go back to the previous game and start over."
"I'm hungry. Let's eat first. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with the brain-burning pace." Liu Wangxue made an excuse, looked down at Pengpeng, and fed it dog food.
Although so many years have passed, she still remembers these characters that have come to life under her pen. She just knew what to do when the plot started, and it was effortless to make this opening copy.
Xu Qingsong looked at Liu Wangxue for a second longer and felt that she was a little unnatural.
"Yes, let's eat first." Yue Cheng pulled Lan Xiaoxi back to sit, "The barbecue is almost cold."
"Recently, a streamer on Shiliu Video matched with a princess," Tao Huayu distributed skewers to everyone, "and it's quite popular."
Lan Xiaoxi also got it, but she was not optimistic: "What kind of game is she playing? Her IQ was crushed by the NPC."
"I think it's the fate of the country to be destroyed, hahaha." Yue Cheng commented.
Wenxi whispered to Liu Wangxue, "I've suddenly become interested in this game again. Can you go back and play with me for a while?"
Liu Wangxue made an "OK" gesture while eating.
There was laughter and chatter in the private room again, as people ate, drank and chatted.
Tao Huayu was sitting next to Xu Qingsong. He suddenly felt very sorry and puzzled. He whispered to him, "I really don't understand. You are so talented and capable, why were you laid off? What kind of rubbish has blinded the company's leaders!"
In fact, it was not as simple as layoffs. It was just that Xu Qingsong was reluctant to mention it. He pretended to be profound and laughed it off: "That's because I didn't show my true strength to the company."
"Don't give me that," Tao Huayu said in disbelief, "You must be hiding something from me."
"Hey, two big brothers!" Yue Cheng shouted.
The two looked up and saw that everyone was looking at them. Tao Huayu asked, "What's wrong?"
"We're going to the peach orchard next week," Yue Cheng said, "to pick peaches. Everyone has agreed. It's just you two left."
"Go, go, go, I agree." Tao Huayu quickly agreed.
Xu Qingsong also nodded and said, "Okay."
"What are you talking about? You're so engrossed in it that you've left everyone here alone." Yue Cheng asked.
"Well, this is not the Twenty-One Case anymore. Ask him when he will make a new one, a simpler one, suitable for all ages." Tao Huayu took the juice and filled up everyone's glasses.
"Really, Brother Qingsong?" Lan Xiaoxi was extremely excited. "Let's do another case 81 and continue to stir up a nationwide trend of solving crimes!"
Tao Huayu disagreed and filled her glass with juice: "Drink yours, what's the point of playing Case 81? Playing games is for relaxation. If you keep burning your brain cells, they will die."
Xu Qingsong smiled and said, "What are you doing? I'm just a nobody right now. I'll wait until I've had enough of lying down and want to turn over."
Wenxi sighed: "Why are all of them lying around doing nothing——"
Lan Xiaoxi also sighed and looked at Yue Cheng: "Who doesn't want to just sit there and do nothing? Unfortunately, my strength doesn't allow it."
"Wife, don't compare yourself with them," Yue Cheng comforted her with great sorrow, "A life of struggle is more meaningful to us!"
"That's right, don't let them corrupt your morale," Tao Huayu echoed, "Come on, let's raise a glass. We are people who have nothing, so we still have to struggle!"
"cheers!"
