I don't want to fall in love, I just want to get rewards

Chapter 53 It hurts, it hurts too much!
Coincidence, it must be a coincidence...

On the way back, Xu Ang kept comforting himself in his heart.

After returning to the rental house, Xu Ang looked at Lu Yan who was fighting a bloody battle with the game BOSS beside him. He wanted to ask something, but he didn't know how to start. He could only keep his depression and confusion in his heart.

"Yan Yan."

"what happened?"

"Can you lend me your phone?" Xu Ang pretended to be calm. "I have a homework to do here, and I may need two phones."

"My phone is on the dining table, go get it yourself." Lu Yan pointed at the dining table and continued to immerse himself in the game.

Xu Ang took a deep breath, walked to the dining table, picked up Lu Yan's phone, and opened the familiar shopping app.

Before clicking "Purchase History", Xu Ang's heart trembled violently and he hesitated whether to click it.

As long as he doesn't click it, he will still have a reason to comfort himself.

After a few breaths, Xu Ang made up his mind and lightly tapped the "Shopping History" column with his finger.

His finger slid down, and when Xu Ang saw the familiar watch, he was completely stunned.

[Longines Master L2.909.4.78.3, price: 20300]

Looking at the photo that looked exactly like the watch on Chen Che's wrist, Xu Ang's mind went blank. For a moment he couldn't tell what his mood was at the moment, and he just stood there stupidly.

'Maybe it's a coincidence.'

He tried to deceive himself, but this time he just couldn't convince himself.

How could it be such a coincidence that my girlfriend bought a watch and the landlord upstairs also happened to have a watch on his hand.

At the same time, the second question followed.

"What should I do?" Xu Ang murmured in his heart.

He knew that no matter from which angle he compared himself, he was no match for Chen Che.

In terms of family background and appearance, he was far behind the other party...

But if I let Lu Yan go.

Xu Ang also did not have the courage to make this decision.

He and Lu Yan had known each other since childhood. The feelings they had built over twenty-one years had made him regard her as a part of his life. How could he possibly give her up so easily now?

He didn't even dare to confront Lu Yan, fearing that Lu Yan would calmly watch him being hysterical like a clown, fearing that Lu Yan would say, "Since you know everything, let's break up."

For a moment, Xu Ang felt confused about the road ahead.

"Xu Ang, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing Xu Ang standing in front of the table, his body shaking constantly, Lu Yan realized something was wrong and asked him.

"No...yes, I feel a little unwell." Xu Ang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "I, I'll go home first."

"Huh?" Lu Yan looked up at the time, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

In the past, Xu Ang would stay as long as he could, but why did he take the initiative to ask to go back so early today?

Although he felt something was wrong, just as Lu Yan was about to say something, Xu Ang rushed out of the house and fled.

"What on earth happened?" Lu Yan stood up and looked at the heavily closed door, his eyes full of worry.

……

Xu Ang didn't know how he got back.

He was in a dazed state all the way and didn't even look at the traffic lights. He rode his electric scooter back to his home in a daze.

After returning home, he didn't turn on the lights and huddled in the corner.

He thought of the dream. He had believed that it was just a dream and would never be the future he would face, but now it seemed that everything that appeared in the dream would appear in reality sooner.

He didn't want to lose Lu Yan, but he didn't have the courage to compete with Chen Che.

"What should I do?" He hugged his legs and muttered softly.

……

On the other hand, Chu Huai has been in high spirits recently.

After half a month of testing, the new game "Forge Master" is finally completed.

Although the name is very grand, the game content is actually very simple. Players only need to click on the black iron in the game to forge it into equipment.

At the same time, players can increase the probability of top-quality equipment appearing by upgrading the forge.

The gameplay of the game is very similar to the recently popular "Xundao Daqian" and the peach tree-cutting game.

The experience of making multiple games made Chu Huai understand one thing, that is, if you don’t want to lose money, it’s best to follow the path that predecessors have taken.

He once made many games with full confidence, but in the end, no one was interested in them. Instead, the product that plagiarized "Vampire Survivor" finally made him a small profit.

As for plagiarism...

Long before embarking on this path, Chu Huai had already learned about the relevant laws.

Whether a game constitutes infringement can actually be described in one sentence.

The law does not protect your thoughts, it only protects the way you express your thoughts!
The gaming industry has been developing for so many years, and whether it constitutes plagiarism actually only depends on two aspects - source code and IP.

The source code can be divided into basic code, music, art and other contents.

It is easy to tell whether music and art are plagiarized, but as long as the basic code is not largely similar, it basically does not constitute plagiarism. Even if that part of the code is essential for the game to run, it will not be considered plagiarism even if it is exactly the same.

Looking at the games that have been put on the shelves, Chu Huai took a puff of cigarette, his eyes full of ambition and confidence.

He has paid a lot for this game.

Most of the revenue from the previous game has been invested in this, and the game's feel, quality, and art are much better than the previous one.

And the little money left was invested entirely by him in publicity and promotion.

"I will definitely succeed."

While Chu Huai was still in a "hot-blooded" state, a fat man walked up to him.

"Brother Huai, the game is now online. Let's go have a drink together tonight?"

"Okay." Chu Huai agreed with a smile: "I will pick up your sister-in-law later and let you meet her in the evening."

"That's really wonderful."

What Chu Huai didn't notice was that while he was chatting and laughing with the fat man, Shao Jia, who was sitting behind him, was looking at him guiltily yet greedily.

……

Over the next three days, with a lot of publicity, "Weapon Forger" did achieve good results.

The game has over 50,000 users, and the amount of money spent on the game has exceeded 200,000.

"Brother Huai, our budget is insufficient." The thin man looked at the ecstatic Chu Huai and asked, "Should we reduce the intensity of publicity?"

"No, it can't be reduced." Chu Huai shook his head, "I have already mortgaged my car. As long as we can get through this period, we may be able to create a miracle."

……

At the same time, Chen Che, who had been waiting for a long time, looked at the advertisement of "Forging Master" on his mobile phone with a sincere smile on his face.

He raised his head and saw Jiaying Law Firm in front of him.
