"You, you...!" The development of the matter was beyond Lu Weiming's imagination, and he almost got angry to death.
He was thick-skinned and took the risk of offending all his colleagues and superiors, trying every means to make the game his nephew made a little closer to Bai Li's. Although it was rejected in the end, he felt that he had done his best to show his love for his nephew.
What was the result? In the end, his nephew was not as sad and desperate as he had imagined. He did not even have any negative emotions. He was happily browsing the Star Blog at home. In just three minutes, he left ten messages under the Star Blog of the Imperial Research Institute!
The replies were all messages questioning the 90% "mental soothing level" of "Your Ran Tian Ju".
Look what he said.
"Netizen 1: Impossible, 90%, that's too high. Could it be that there was something wrong with the Imperial Research Institute? Just looking at the name of this game, I have no intention of playing it at all. How can there be such a great healing effect?"
"Lv Hui V: What do you mean by that? You know 'Songcui Mianmian', the anchor who loved to do game reviews a few months ago. He was just like you at the beginning. He had huge doubts about the playability of "You Ran Tian Ju" and even openly said in the forum that it was a crappy game (I'm sorry, Li Li, this was not my intention). But now he is having more fun than anyone else and his game live streaming is booming! If he hadn't kept that post and pinned an apology to Li Li, no one would have forgiven him so easily. Hum! If you haven't played it, you don't have the right to speak, okay?"
"Netizen 2: I found the official website of this game and took a look. The introduction says 'a relaxing farming game'. That's it? That's it? Isn't the developer too careless? He should at least write an 800-word essay to praise his game, right? The second-ranked "Cosmic Wanderer" did a great job in this regard. The introduction is over 2,000 words, and you can tell the developer's sincerity at once."
"Lv Hui V: Thank you, one of the protagonists came uninvited. If the games I made could be loved by everyone without any promotion, who would be willing to write such a long introduction? It's because they are not sure. Many famous authors on the Green River Internet write the copy for their novels in just one sentence. It's the same principle! Li Li only wrote such a sentence, which shows that he has great confidence in "You Ran Tian Ju" and knows that it will soar to the sky."
"Netizen 3: It's just farming, breeding, fishing, mining, gathering... well, the food in the game is a little bit attractive. Farming is something we interstellar people are tired of. Now agricultural planets rely on farming robots to grow crops. This technology has long been eliminated. You are the only ones who have never seen the world and are chasing after it like a treasure. I still prefer playing combat holographic games."
"Lv Hui V: →_→, don't you think your last sentence was a bit abrupt? I almost believed you! If you had no interest, would you know it so thoroughly? You even know the main gameplay of the game, and you still have the nerve to say that you like fighting games. As the second-ranked person, I will take the lead in expelling you from the fan club!"
…
Lu Hui's laptop was in projection mode, and the replies on StarNet were fully displayed in front of his uncle Lu Weiming. Lu Weiming felt dizzy and felt that he had never understood his nephew before.
Or is it that after not seeing him for a while, this "old man" has lost track of the trends among young people?
What happened to the "Holographic Game Design Contest!"? How come there is no sense of competition at all?
The passion in his heart cooled down after he discovered his nephew's true nature, freezing his heart. Lu Weiming never thought that the clown was actually himself.
Just as he was feeling depressed, he heard his nephew shouting.
"Fuck!" A chat box and a magnified picture of food appeared on the wall of the projection screen. "Why is that old bastard Yu Xiao showing off again?! Damn it, he actually opened a roast chicken this time. The meat on this chicken leg looks so tender and fragrant. It tastes delicious at first glance! Humph, isn't it just luck that I got a game spot this month? I don't believe that I won't be able to get one next month!"
Lu Hui cursed angrily, and only then did he realize that he was not the only one at the scene. There was also an uncle who came to see him with some fruits.
"Hey, uncle, you're not scared, are you?" Lu Hui felt guilty. "I'm not like this usually. I'm very polite! I was just angry this time, so I cursed. Yu Xiao, you know, is my good friend since childhood. We signed up for the 'Holographic Game Design Competition' together this year, and we also noticed the game 'You Ran Tian Ju' together."
"We agreed to compete for a game spot together this month, but he got it while I and a few other friends didn't. So he started to show off. Not only does he share his gaming experience in our chat group every day, he also posts photos of the food he picked out of his basket three times a day, envious of us!"
After saying that, he followed the pace of several other friends and sent several angry emoticons in the group.
Lu Weiming: “…” I didn’t expect my nephew would have such a crazy and childish side.
As for Yu Xiao mentioned by his nephew, he also knew him. Even this child's entry had a place in the soothing ranking of the test report, which was neither high nor low, just exactly tenth place.
So this contestant actually went to play the game designed by the first place winner, and just ignored his own game?
Lu Weiming raised his head and observed their chat group openly in front of his nephew. Since they all knew each other, everyone used their real names. This was amazing. Those few people who popped up seemed to be contestants of this "Holographic Game Design Competition". He specifically asked his nephew to confirm it, and this guess was confirmed.
"Yes! This group is full of fellow contestants. Some of us only met after the competition started. We chatted and found that we have similar personalities, so we just created a special group." Lu Hui sighed halfway through his speech, "It's a pity that none of us knows Li Li. Otherwise, if we added him to the group and became good friends with him, maybe we wouldn't have to worry about not being able to get a place in the game..."
At this point, Lu Hui's thoughts diverged again. He had said so much for Li Li on Xingbo. Could it be that he had seen it? Would he be so moved that he would give him a spot in the game?
If Bai Li knew about the resentment that Lv Hui and others had because they couldn't contact him, he would probably feel that he was innocent. He had never thought that the contestants could contact each other. In addition to playing games, working hard on farming, and petting cats and foxes, he really had no other entertainment activities.
He rarely reads the private messages on Xingbo and the forum. There are just too many people who send him messages. Nine out of ten people ask him to give out more game places, and the remaining one strongly expresses his love for "Your Ran Tian Ju". He is almost tired of saying the word "thank you" and "I like it".
It’s not others’ fault that they can’t contact him, he’s just too much of a homebody and too lazy.
Seeing his nephew start to smile foolishly for no apparent reason, Lu Weiming's mind was filled with the words "It's over, it's all over, all the contestants in this session have failed" and he didn't even know how he said goodbye to his nephew or how he left his nephew's house and returned to his own home.
By the time he had digested the news, it was already nightfall. However, the discussion about "Your Ran Farmhouse" on Starnet was still very heated. Netizens who had watched the live broadcast were very excited and went to the official website of "Your Ran Farmhouse" at the same time, leaving their first impressions of the game in the comment book.
"Memories of the past: Before watching the live broadcast, I thought farming in the game was done by operating various farming robots, but I didn't expect that this game relies entirely on manpower. I also thought that repetitive actions such as digging holes, sowing seeds, burying soil, and watering would be boring after a few minutes, but I didn't expect that when I came to my senses, an hour had passed. Now I just want to ask for a place in the game! I want to farm in the game!"
"Wendy: Watching people farming is actually okay, can you believe it? I actually watched people build a chicken house, raise chickens, and feed chickens for two hours. Time flies. The chicken house is ugly as a ghost! (PS: Asking for a game spot)"
"Xi: Compared to farming and breeding, I prefer fishing. Although it takes a long time to catch a fish, the waiting process makes me feel relaxed just like the game anchor. In addition, every time I cast the hook, guessing what kind of fish will be caught is also a necessary program. I also want a game spot QAQ!"
“…”
There were countless comments like these, and soon the number of comments exceeded the original number, and it was still growing rapidly. These people expressed their thoughts and ideas, and they were satisfied that the game maker Bai Li would definitely see their opinions and give corresponding feedback soon, such as upgrading the "Holographic Game Builder" and increasing the number of game players.
With this in mind, they were not in a hurry to exit the suggestion book. Instead, they turned to the beginning of the suggestion book, wanting to see what the original group of players thought of the game. This could be considered an alternative form of archaeology.
However, as they watched, netizens discovered a strange phenomenon. Why... even at the beginning of the game, there were voices urging the game makers to increase the number of game places?
I didn't see many serious suggestions, and even if there were, they were drowned out by the vast sea of voices.
Along with a bad premonition, netizens suddenly realized that it was no wonder that there were so many messages in the suggestion book; it turned out that they were all urging people to "update new products".
Lu Dan is one of those netizens.
As a fan of combat holographic games, she had hardly heard of the name of "You Ran Tian Ju". Occasionally, she saw it on the Star Network, but she just glanced at it and forgot about it. After all, her daily life was either fighting in the game or on the way to fight.
However, the long battle did not make her "gene collapse syndrome" any better. It was effective at the beginning, but it became worse as time went on. On the first day of March, Lu Dan woke up and found that she had long rabbit ears on her head...
The violent rabbit thought that if "gene collapse syndrome" had a physical body, she would definitely use her long and powerful rabbit legs to kick it hard a few times!
Some parts of it showed animal characteristics and could not be retracted freely. This was one of the manifestations of the "gene collapse syndrome" becoming more serious. Lu Dan had no choice but to count the days and wait for the Imperial Research Institute to announce the game with the highest "mental comfort" this year.
Studies have shown that even if the "mental comfort level" is the same, the therapeutic effect of "gene collapse disorder" will be higher if you play games that you have never played before or games that you play regularly.
Then Lu Dan saw the words "You Ran Tian Ju". Knowing the name of the game, he naturally wanted to learn more about it. He followed the comments below and found the live broadcast of this game, and inexplicably became addicted to it. When Lu Dan suppressed the urge to continue watching and ran to the comment book of the game's official website to leave a message, he accidentally pressed the refresh button after doing some alternative archaeology, and the page returned to the latest message.
As luck would have it, she saw a reminder from a veteran to the new cloud players.
"Chang Yue: Netizens, please pay attention! This suggestion book is only used for urging, and it only has the effect of giving people psychological comfort! As a poor person who has never been able to grab a game spot, I just want to say that Li Li is still very strict in this regard. Game spots will only be issued at the beginning of each month, and they will be gone after they are grabbed! So no matter how hard you urge, it will be useless. It is almost impossible to expect Li Li to increase new game spots, so you'd better wait with us for the opportunity next month!"
Lu Dan: “…” The bad premonition came true.
However, so many of them couldn't do anything about the game maker and could only go back to watching the game live.
Fortunately, the host was well chosen. After watching more than a dozen live broadcast rooms, there was not a single duplicate. This is very friendly for those who want to understand the game as soon as possible.
Two hours after the test report results from the Imperial Research Institute came out, Bai Li stopped paying attention to it and went straight into the game.
The panda cub particularly likes Bai Li as its owner. As long as Bai Li lets it out of the pet space, it will not even chew its favorite bamboo and will just stay by his side. Sometimes when Bai Li is harvesting ripe crops in the field, it will use its hands and feet to hold one of Bai Li's calves tightly, pretending to be a giant leg pendant.
"You, you." Bai Li bent down and helplessly tapped the panda cub's white forehead. His fingertips touched the soft fur, which aroused the itch in his heart. He used his fingers to swirl the surface of the fur without leaving a trace. When he saw that they were slightly raised, he continued with satisfaction, "Aren't you tired of holding it like this? Why don't you go to a cool place to rest? There is also your favorite bamboo there. You can eat it while waiting for me to finish my work and come back to accompany you."
However, the panda cub was still young and did not quite understand what Bai Li said. It just looked up and looked eagerly at its beloved owner, with its mouth slightly open revealing a pink tongue, looking so cute and adorable.
This was the scene that Wen Xingyao saw when he arrived at the gate of Bai Li's yard. He took another look at the panda cub that was only a few days old and thought it was so brave!
At the same time, a feeling of irritation rose in my heart. I couldn't understand why Bai Li would always be surrounded by such annoying little guys, whether in reality or in the game? My attention was focused on the little guys around me, so how could I have the extra energy to pay attention to the people around me?
When thinking this way, Wen Xingyao did not realize that there was a period of time in his childhood that occupied most of Bai Li's life.
Bai Li saw Wen Xingyao coming and quickly opened the door to let him in. He didn't ask what the other party was doing there. Is there anything wrong with neighbors visiting each other?
"Bai Li, let me release my pets as well. Let the three of them play with your panda, and you can speed up the harvesting of crops." Wen Xingyao suggested.
He now has three pets: a golden koi with a "rich" pattern on its body, a lion cub that looks 60% to 70% like him when he was a child, and a macaw whose birthday is the same as the panda cub.
Wen Xingyao was not as doting on his pets as Bai Li showed. He only let them out for a walk and fed them when he needed them or at fixed times. At other times, he kept them in the pet space and let them roam free.
However, his pets still love their owner very much, just because Wen Xingyao treats them generously enough.
Bai Li thought that if the panda cub had a playmate, it might not cling to him so much, so he readily agreed. Wen Xingyao let the three pets out and ordered them to take the panda cub to play, and then he started to take things out of his backpack.
The best fish feed, premium cat (?) canned food, a box of cereals with a strong milky aroma, followed by a large bag of more than a dozen pet milk cakes, fragrant and crispy dried fish, toy bubble balls, a small cat scratching board maze, colorful feather shuttlecocks... In addition to the initial food, he also prepared a large bowl of milk for the panda cub.
The panda cub was really attracted by the pile of things. He held Bai Li's calf and thought for a long time, showing that he wanted to go over but was afraid to go over. Finally, after Bai Li pushed his butt encouragingly, he twisted his body and walked towards the direction of the other three pets.
Because they had received the owner's order in advance, the three pets had no objection to the panda cub joining them, and enthusiastically invited it to taste their food. The panda cub took a bite of fish feed here, a bite of dried fish there, and grabbed a handful of millet and stuffed it into its mouth to chew it. Finally, it quenched its thirst with a bowl of milk. It ate with great pleasure.
Of course, as a polite baby, it also invited the three friends to drink milk from the bowl. After all, its stomach is not big, and a panda cannot finish such a large bowl of milk.
"Look, how harmoniously they get along." Wen Xingyao concluded to Bai Li with a smile.
The Imperial Admiral, who was not short of money, said proudly: If money can solve the problem, then it is not a problem. If it cannot be solved, then it must be because the money is not enough!
Look, he had made all the necessary preparations, yet those "girls" were easily driven away, weren't they?
Bai Li also laughed: "You are too expensive. It seems that you are the main buyer of the new pet food I put on the game store."
Wen Xingyao felt that what Bai Li said was a compliment to him, and he was proud of it: "What can I do? After all, there are three mouths to feed at home." And if he bought more than what three mouths needed, it was not impossible for Bai Li's family to take on the responsibility together.
Bai Li was amused again. Obviously, they were just pets, but Wen Xingyao treated them as if they were children at home. However, he also felt that there was some truth to what the other party said. If one keeps many pets, wouldn't the related expenses also increase?
As for whether he would spend too much on this, he no longer wanted to argue with Wen Xingyao. He knew that Yao Xing was a krypton gold maniac who had no shortage of money, a star warrior. Now that he had taken off his vest, as an imperial admiral, he would be even richer than Bai Li had guessed before...
Maybe the money Wen Xingyao spent in an hour was not as much as all his assets combined earned for him in an hour.
"By the way." Wen Xingyao suddenly said seriously, "At noon, our conversation was interrupted by Tang Ying. What did you want to say at that time?"
Bai Li thought about it for a while before remembering the answer he hadn't said yet. Just as he was about to speak, he found that Wen Xingyao's expression seemed a little off. It wasn't the kind of stubbornness that insisted on knowing the answer, but a strange expression of expectation mixed with reserve, and reserve mixed with trepidation.
The pair of dark golden eyes seemed to be tempered with a layer of light gold. The light in the eyes fluctuated, giving people a feeling that they could not be looked at for a long time. Anyway, Bai Li quickly looked elsewhere.
Bai Li had a feeling that his answer was very important to Wen Xingyao, and his heart beat faster for some reason. Recalling the way Wen Xingyao looked at him from time to time in the past two days, he seemed to have some enlightenment. Could it be that Wen Xingyao had developed special feelings for him?
As the god of agriculture in the fairy world, Bai Li often descends to the mortal world to help and guide humans in farming, and has been devoted to this cause for hundreds and thousands of years. But this does not mean that Bai Li knows nothing. While walking in the human world, he has heard many lingering love stories and witnessed many tragic endings of lovers who could not get married. He has witnessed all these combinations, including men and women, women and women, and men and men.
When he was in the human world, there were human men and women who expressed their love to Bai Li, but Bai Li never felt moved by them and rejected them all. Bai Li was very open-minded about love, or his other half. He just went with the flow. Anyway, his "immortal life" was very long, so he just had to wait slowly. Even if he couldn't wait, he didn't mind staying with the land and crops.
Who knew that after traveling through time, he not only came to a future world where farming was difficult, but also knew what it felt like to have a heartbeat like a drum. Just follow... fate? Then just follow fate.
Bai Li thought about so much in just a few breaths that he felt himself getting nervous like Wen Xingyao. After trying to calm himself down, he didn't know how to answer. So he took the initiative and asked, "What kind of friendship do you want us to have?"
Wen Xingyao:? ?
Was there something wrong with the process? He was clearly the one asking Bai Li, so how come it suddenly became Bai Li asking him?
