You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 23 Music Festival

For the next week, everyone continued to vacation at the beach during the day and develop games in their rooms at night.

The sun is shining, the sea breeze is blowing gently, and the sea water is rippling with blue waves.

Liu Mengyuan and Zhang Qiqi wore floral swimsuits, held surfboards, and ran towards the rough sea.

Lu Yu and Chu Xiong put on diving goggles and snorkels and dived into the clear seabed.

Schools of colorful fish swam past, and the corals on the seabed sparkled.

Lu Yu happily showed off his leisure points.

……

On Saturday evening, a music festival was held on the beach.

The stage lights were shining brightly, and tourists were cheering and dancing to the rhythm of the music.

Liu Mengyuan was wearing a light long dress, twisting her graceful figure on the dance floor, her black hair fluttering with the rhythm of the music.

Although her dance steps were a little awkward, she still looked like an elf due to the training she had received since childhood.

Halfway through the dance, she caught a glimpse of Lu Yu standing at the edge of the dance floor with his hands folded, looking at her. She smiled, extended her hand to him, and made an invitation.

There were dense crowds of dancers all around, and it was estimated that the spies of the Liu Group were also squeezed out.

So, Lu Yu took the lead and jumped into the dance floor. He held the other person's hand with his left hand, put his right hand on the other person's shoulder, and began to dance slowly.

"Is this a special benefit for me as the boss?"

"It's a thank you for taking care of me during this period."

What Liu Mengyuan said was indeed sincere. He provided him with an advance on his salary and food, drinks and entertainment. Without his help, Liu Mengyuan's plan to run away from home would not have been so smooth.

The rhythm of the music became melodious and soft, and a gentle slow dance began.

The two of them moved closer, their hands gently resting on each other's waists, and they could even feel each other's breath.

Liu Mengyuan lowered her head, her face flushed, and she bit her lower lip shyly.

The two began to slowly spin on the dance floor, their steps soft and graceful.

When it came to this ballroom dance music, the two people were very awkward in their dance steps at first.

But as he was dancing, a system screen popped up in front of Liu Mengyuan:

[Your dance practice triggered the guaranteed bonus, and your ballroom dance skill is upgraded to Lv2]

[Your boss Lu Yu triggers the guaranteed bonus, and his ballroom dancing skill is upgraded to Lv2]

As the music beat, the two danced more and more skillfully.

Lu Yu hugged Liu Mengyuan tightly, and she responded to Lu Yu's action, gently standing on tiptoe. The two of them completed a difficult and elegant turn, like ballerinas on the stage.

The audience around exclaimed in admiration.

[Dancing with my beloved girl, feeling extremely happy, resulting in a critical hit, Leisure Points +10]

[Employee Liu Mengyuan was extremely happy and had a critical hit, Leisure Points +2]

The male tourists once again broke their back teeth.

Blanch!
This kid is really enough. I have been at the beach for a week and all I see is you two showing off your love.

My titanium alloy dog ​​eyes...

I'm jealous!
……

The music festival ended at midnight.

Liu Mengyuan sat in front of the hotel's fountain, staring at the sea in a daze.

This week, the basic development work of "My Leisurely Island Owner Life" went very smoothly, and the virtual island in the game has begun to take shape.

However, the biggest obstacle facing her is still game design.

An island owner, on his own island, plays with surfing, playing with sand, playing with watermelon...

No matter how you think about it, you'll get bored of it within an hour.

If this is done, the game is doomed to fail.

Just as I was worrying, a bottle of iced black tea suddenly appeared in front of me.

"It's so late and you're still not sleeping?"

"Think of something."

Liu Mengyuan took the iced black tea from Lu Yu.

She remembered that when she was a sophomore, Lu Yu liked to buy all kinds of tea drinks for her to drink, and he would tell her stories about the Tea Saint Lu Yu every day. Lu Yu asked, "How are you feeling recently?"

Liu Mengyuan thought for a moment and said:

"To be honest, I'm quite happy. It's completely different from being at home. No one forces me to learn anything, do anything, or follow any rules. I just feel comfortable and at ease.

I'm a little embarrassed about my free and easy nature."

"What's there to be embarrassed about?"

Lu Yu took a sip of tea and pointed around.

"Look at all the people at the music festival. What does this mean? It means that many people deep down yearn for this kind of freedom, but life still has to go on, so these moments are precious.

When we have free time in the future, let’s participate in more activities like this to communicate with others.

Don’t always stay in your own isolated island of life and be complacent.”

Lu Yu’s subtext is: Dance with me more often in the future.

However, when Liu Mengyuan heard Lu Yu's words, his mind suddenly shuddered!
"Don't always stay in your own isolated island of life?"

Yup!

That's it!

You can’t stay at home on your own island, which means that in the game, there is not necessarily only one island owner!
"My Leisurely Island Owner Life" can be designed as a multiplayer online social game.

Every player who registers an account and enters the game will get an island.

Island owners can play on their own islands and visit other people's islands!

If each island has its own characteristics, the richness of the game will increase exponentially!
The more Liu Mengyuan thought about it, the more excited he became. He said to Lu Yu with emotion:
"You came here specifically to remind me of this?"

"what?"

Lu Yu was stunned, then nodded in confusion.

I just casually said some inspirational quote I saw on the Internet. Is it necessary for you to react so strongly?

"I will not let you down."

Liu Mengyuan stood up suddenly and trotted back to the hotel.

"Oh."

Lu Yu continued to sit there, staring at the moon in the sky in a daze.

In his previous life, he often looked at the moon at midnight, alone, and drank to drown his sorrows.

And now, wine has been replaced by my favorite tea,
There are more people I like around me,
That's pretty good too.

……

After returning to the hotel, Liu Mengyuan opened the discussion group and shared his ideas.

"Sister Liu is amazing! This is a great idea! Multiplayer online social interaction will instantly expand the game's playability."

"Actually, it was Lu Yu's reminder again." She felt a little embarrassed.

"As expected of my brother Lu, even though he didn't interfere with our research and development, he always cares about our progress."

Chu Xiong immediately started working on the server-side architecture. He frantically typed code for a while and then said:

"There's a problem. We can't cram all the players' islands into the same ocean. If we do that, the server will definitely crash. So I want to divide the players into groups of 100 islands in a 'sea area' to separate them.

But now there's a new problem. If the player's boat goes out to sea and finds that it can't go beyond the edge of the sea and hits an air wall, the sense of immersion will be greatly reduced. We need to find a way to package this."

Liu Mengyuan was stunned for a moment, then whispered, "How about adding a reminder: explore the area ahead later?"

"Hmm...it always feels a bit stiff."

"Sea area, storm." Zhang Qiqi, who had been silent for a long time, made a suggestion.

They went surfing a few days ago and did encounter a storm warning.

Liu Mengyuan nodded and agreed: "Zhang Qiqi's suggestion is good. I will try to make some storm effects and place them on the edge of the air wall. When the ship approaches, it will be blown back."

After finalizing the design plan, the three people started working on it.

Liu Mengyuan was very pleased to see that Zhang Qiqi was gradually able to offer useful suggestions.

After these 7 nights of development, the game development skills of these two newcomers have triggered the minimum level and are becoming more and more proficient.

I guess Lu Yu would be very happy that his employees are becoming more and more capable, right?
