Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 114 Genius Answer

Because it got dark early, there were basically no people on the road, and Xue Rui's behavior became casual.

Lin Ruoxi has gotten used to it, and she also likes Xue Rui walking with his arms around her shoulders.

"I'll press you down so you don't grow any taller." Xue Rui sighed.

Xue Rui claims to be 185cm tall, of course, that's with shoes on.

Lin Ruoxi is 173cm tall. The weather has been cooler recently, and she looks noticeably taller when she puts on thick-soled shoes.

And Lin Ruoxi has grown a little taller recently, now 174cm tall...

Xue Rui felt that if this continued, wouldn't she be able to look him in the eye if she wore high heels in the future?

"Oh, then I won't grow any more." Lin Ruoxi said obediently.

Xue Rui was amused. Is it possible that this won’t grow any longer just by saying so?

He thought about it, afraid that Lin Ruoxi would take the initiative to diet, so he reminded her: "You don't have the final say, eat well."

"Yeah." Lin Ruoxi nodded.

"It's a bit cold." Xue Rui put his hand on Lin Ruoxi's neck to warm it.

"Hmm." Lin Ruoxi shrank her neck.

The two of them staggered back, and under the dim street lights, two overlapping shadows were reflected.

Lin Ruoxi turned her back to Xue Rui, looking at the shadow on the ground with a smile in her eyes.

She really hoped that time could stay at this moment forever.

……

After dinner, the game went online.

It was very dull, with no preparation and no ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Because there are only two of them, it can't even be called a studio.

Although Xue Rui had already posted the internal test links on many gaming platforms in advance, the response was mediocre.

After an hour of going online, the two looked at the backend data and saw only a few users...

"One step ahead is a pioneer, two steps ahead is a martyr?" Xue Rui thought to himself.

There are indeed very few mobile users nowadays. He has done intensive searches on the Internet but has not found any similar web games.

Then it is even less likely that there will be a mobile version. He thinks he may be one to two years ahead of the big manufacturers...

Xue Rui returned the bank card to Gu Muxue and only withdrew 100,000 yuan from the card.

Fortunately, I have Gu Muxue's support, otherwise it would not be enough when registering the trademark later.

Because he registered a lot of word trademarks, although he reduced the categories as much as possible, he still spent more than 70,000 yuan...

As for the issue of game traffic, Xue Rui plans to let nature take its course.

It’s not that he didn’t think about spending money on advertising, but the scale of his and Lin Ruoxi’s business was too small, and Candy Crush essentially relied on social platforms to grow.

Even if all of Gu Muxue's New Year's money was spent, it might be of no use.

The first-mover advantage is the best promotion. Xue Rui believes that the lower the investment cost, the better.

Lin Ruoxi stared blankly at the background interface, feeling a little disappointed.

She has been playing the game for a while and feels that the game designed by Xue Rui is easy to play and should not be buried like this.

Xue Rui noticed Lin Ruoxi's disappointment and said, "It's only been online for an hour, why are you in such a hurry?"

Even if a game has been preheated by a big company, it may not necessarily become a hit once it goes online.

Not to mention the little transparent people like them.

Lin Ruoxi picked up the air conditioner remote control and pressed the button for a while, but there was no response.

After changing the batteries in the remote control, the air conditioner still didn't respond.

"The air conditioner is broken..." Lin Ruoxi murmured. She felt really unlucky recently, as if bad things were happening everywhere.

But Xue Rui's hands were so cold, she didn't know what to do.

"It's broken so we can save some electricity. Come over and warm me up." Xue Rui said with a smile.

He didn't care about this. It was already mid-November and in a few days it would be the statutory heating period, and the house would be extremely hot by then.

"I, I seem to have made Aunt Ren unhappy." Lin Ruoxi said weakly.

She sat obediently in front of Xue Rui and stretched out her slender neck.

"How is that possible? That's definitely none of your business." Xue Rui answered decisively.

His mother didn't know how satisfied she was with Lin Ruoxi. Recently, she would come to bring some food to Lin Ruoxi from time to time, and also supervise whether he was studying well.

However, Xue Rui felt that the way his mother looked at her daughter-in-law was the kind that seemed to make her more and more satisfied the more she looked.

When she was at home on weekends, she would occasionally whisper in his ear about Lin Ruoxi.

This made Xue Rui feel that Lin Ruoxi was his mother's daughter and he was the one who was adopted.

"A few days ago, I gave Aunt Ren a sweater, and she... just turned around and left, looking very unhappy. She had said she wanted to eat here."

Lin Ruoxi was a little worried. She didn't want Xue Rui's mother to be unhappy.

"What sweater?"

Xue Rui was a little surprised. Lin Ruoxi also knew how to "bribe the mother-in-law"?
He doesn't even want to sit at the table for dinner when he gets home now. His mother stands on Lin Ruoxi's side, while his father stands on Gu Muxue's side.

If he ever brought up this subject, he would be chopped into pieces.

Lin Ruoxi walked to the closet, opened the door hesitantly, and took out an off-white sweater.

When he was taking out clothes, a ball of wool rolled out of the closet, rolled a long way on the ground, and landed at Xue Rui's feet.

"This..." Lin Ruoxi was a little nervous.

She didn't know whether Xue Rui liked it or not, because the clothes Xue Rui gave her looked very expensive.

Maybe Xue Rui’s mother thought it was too cheap.

But she really had no money left, and no presents to give...

Xue Rui's eyes widened, and his voice trembled: "You...you knitted a sweater for my mother?"

When his mother watches old-fashioned Korean dramas, she uses half a pack of toilet paper to wipe her nose and tears.

Lin Ruoxi specially knitted a sweater for her. Wouldn’t she be so moved that she cried?

What do you mean by turning around and walking away? That means he doesn't want to cry in front of Lin Ruoxi.

"Who taught you? The old lady?" Xue Rui guessed.

He is really a tough guy. Wouldn't his mother be very happy with him?
"It's me. Aunt Ren took good care of me. I want to thank her..."

"You...try it?"

Lin Ruoxi asked in a low voice, handing over a dark grey turtleneck sweater.

"Gudong" sound.

Xue Rui swallowed his saliva, he guessed that it was his share.

To be honest, his throat was a little tight now, and he suddenly understood why his mother ran away.

He had never received a single hand-knitted sweater in his entire life.

Especially the look in Lin Ruoxi's eyes, which was a little restrained and her attitude was too humble.

You can tell at first glance that this child is someone who has been lacking love for a long time. It makes people so distressed that they dare not look at him.

Xue Rui turned around and took the sweater.

He changed his clothes with his back to Lin Ruoxi. The sweater was very thick, especially close to his body. He even suspected that Lin Ruoxi touched him all over.

Feeling a warm and furry touch on his neck, Xue Rui raised his hand and looked at his cuffs.

Lin Ruoxi's craftsmanship was very good and he didn't notice any thread ends.

Xue Rui turned his neck and found no label piercing his skin, and his back was flat.

Things made with care are indeed different from purchased items, and he likes them very much.

"Thank you." Xue Rui didn't know what to say.

Lin Ruoxi has been busy playing games recently, where does she find the time?

Maybe she knitted it late at night. She didn't listen to the lessons at school, so she could change her rest time...

"Um……"

Lin Ruoxi counted on her fingers and watched Xue Rui put on the sweater she had knitted. A feeling of joy spread in her heart.

She was worried that Xue Rui wouldn't like it, so she hesitated for a long time and finally gave it away today.

"This backstage is getting more and more annoying. Let's watch a movie." Xue Rui changed the subject.

"Oh."

Lin Ruoxi poured Xue Rui a glass of water and brought some snacks to put on the table.

Xue Rui opened a popular website and found small advertisements everywhere on the webpage.

Some ads were particularly revealing. When Xue Rui saw this kind of ad, he deliberately zoomed in on a part of the web page.

Every time he did this, Lin Ruoxi would avoid his gaze and turn her head away with a red face.

"Hehe." Xue Rui thought Lin Ruoxi was so funny.

"I won't tease you anymore, just pick one and see."

Xue Rui slid the scroll wheel, and when an advertisement appeared in the lower right corner, he casually clicked to close it.

There is no copyright awareness in this era, and the quality of pirated films is even higher than the genuine ones.

Moreover, the genuine version may have some deletions, making it a "victim of the genuine version."

Xue Rui had actually watched this popular classic movie once. Now that he had nothing to do, he accompanied Lin Ruoxi to watch it again.

The top few movies on the website's homepage were all disaster movies, and Xue Rui couldn't help but frown.

Why is it like this?
Suddenly, he saw a movie called "The End of the World".

The memories of the dead reappeared. It seems that the Mayan prophecy is popular these days, that the world will end on December 2012, 12.

No wonder disaster films rank so high.

"Would you like to take a look at this?" Xue Rui asked.

"All is fine." Lin Ruoxi nodded.

Xue Rui was speechless for a while. Lin Ruoxi was a girl with no opinion of her own and was willing to accept anything he chose.

"You don't have to tell me. If you've seen it, just don't watch it." Xue Rui said.

"I haven't seen it." Lin Ruoxi shook her head.

"Then this."

The film is grandly produced, and the various natural disaster scenes are shocking.

To be precise, a group of people are going to board a "Noah's Ark" to seek refuge, thus preserving the fire of human civilization.

The price of a boat ticket is sky-high.

Only a few elite groups were able to board the ship and escape.

Xue Rui had seen the movie once, so he didn't fully immerse himself in the plot.

Lin Ruoxi was completely different. She was completely absorbed in the plot. Her little face turned pale with fright. When she saw someone suffering, her body trembled slightly.

Soon, the movie ended and Lin Ruoxi picked up the cup and took a sip of water.

"This...is this true?" Lin Ruoxi asked worriedly, because the prophecy was about next month.

She had also seen this prophecy, and she had never dared to watch this movie.

When she checked online, some people said it was true, some said it was false, and she didn't know which one to believe.

"Huh?" Xue Rui found it a little ridiculous.

How could anyone take this kind of thing seriously?

But on second thought, he seemed to have believed it a little bit back then?
Anyway, there are still many people around me who believe in it. After all, as students, life is boring, so they always like to believe in these nonsense...

Xue Rui asked seriously: "If it is true, and we are all in the water, and you are selected to board the ship, you can only bring one family member on board, who will you bring? Your place cannot be given to others."

This question is shameless, it's like your girlfriend asking, "If your mom and I fell into the water at the same time, who would you save?"

This is a life-threatening question; it is difficult to be both loyal and filial.

Xue Rui was curious about how the genius Lin Ruoxi would answer.

Lin Ruoxi bit her lips tightly, and her white fingernails dug slightly into the flesh.

Xue Rui looked at Lin Ruoxi with a smile. This girl was too serious to actually think about such a question.

He felt that if he continued teasing her, the girl would get anxious and cry.

Just when he was about to say forget it, Lin Ruoxi spoke:

"You...you get on the boat, I'll go down to accompany grandma."
