Film and Television World Life Record

Li Mu searched online and then looked for the game in the app store on his smartphone, but there was no trace of it.

Then he would feel embarrassed.

As for why this game was chosen, it's because it's simple enough and has low requirements for art assets.

Although his current limited game development experience came from Su Mingzhe, it was enough. With his decent programming skills, creating a small game like this wouldn't be a problem at all.

Li Mu has always been a decisive person; once he makes a decision, he takes action.

We started writing the game development plan, including the bird's character design, attribute settings, scoring algorithm, and game sketches.

Based on his experience of being frustrated by the game, Li Mu quickly recreated most of the game, and then it was just a matter of developing and reproducing it.

This was not difficult for Li Mu either.

……

As the saying goes, one should become famous as early as possible, and naturally, the earlier one makes money, the better.

He only has two years; he can't afford to waste time.

Having set his goal, Li Mu planned to develop the game as soon as possible. The Shangdong Club, where he worked, offered him a very generous salary as a head coach with real skills and a small reputation.

In addition to a monthly after-tax salary of over 2 yuan, there are also eight days off, which is equivalent to adding up all the weekends off each month.

It can't compare to being a civil servant, but it's still much better than working 996.

Coaches can discuss taking turns to rest based on the peak and off-peak seasons and the amount of work, ensuring that there are enough coaching resources in the venue every day.

Li Mu's eight days off this month haven't been used yet, perfect, let's use them all from now on.

I took out my phone and made a few calls to the coaches, briefly explaining the situation. It wasn't a big deal, and I figured I had to give them face, so they readily agreed.

Thus began Li Mu's week-long game development project.

The next day, Li Mu ran to a nearby park, practiced boxing for more than an hour, ate breakfast at a nearby breakfast shop, and then went home to prepare.

While game development is important, mastering this skill is even more crucial, so I naturally won't slack off.

In the morning, Li Mu began to further refine the game's development plan, adding a leaderboard feature and multilingual support to cater to players in different regions. There are many open-source language packs available online, so this was relatively straightforward.

A new feature has been added: a coin reward for completing levels, and a simple shop where you can exchange coins for different bird designs.

Once the development plan was finalized, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

The development plan he's presenting now is naturally not the version that was just released in the real world, but a new version that has undergone several optimizations.

While maintaining simplicity, it has increased playability and fun.

In the afternoon, Li Mu selected some free art assets online; the game's engine was also very simple and didn't need to implement too many functions.

Li Mu searched online and selected a widely used open-source game engine.

In this way, all the preparatory work before the official development of the game is completed.

In the following days, Li Mu spent several hours each day exercising to maintain his physical condition, and devoted the rest of his time to game development.

During this period, I also applied for developer accounts on major software platforms and app stores both domestically and internationally, so that I could release the game as soon as it was completed.

They also applied to join an advertising network, and will rely on the ads distributed by the advertising network to make money in the future.

Another week passed, and the holiday was over. That afternoon, the game was finally developed and tested, and it basically achieved the effect he wanted.

Subsequently, Li Mu officially uploaded Pixelbird to major software platforms and app stores both domestically and internationally.

As expected, after a day or two of review, the game was officially released to players.

After eight busy days, Li Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief. If everything went smoothly, he would never be short of money again.

……

After working non-stop for so many days, rarely going out except for daily exercise, Li Mu's heart was starting to stir.

I checked the time and it was only 3 p.m. I took a shower, changed my clothes, and looked at myself in the mirror. Although I wasn't exactly handsome, I had a strong presence and a good appearance, so I was quite charming.

So, it's time to witness the prosperity of this world's capital city and find Yang Tao along the way—lock onto our target first. There are three missions in total, two of which revolve around her; she's definitely the main character.

Chapter 63 First Encounter with Yang Tao

Li Mu didn't know much about Yang Tao, only that she was the lobby manager of the Langham Hotel.

Coincidentally, there is a Langham Hotel near the Shangdong Club where he works, but it's unclear whether it's the same one where Yang Tao works.

The journey wasn't far, so Li Mu decided to go and take a look.

Twenty minutes later, Li Mu strolled leisurely into the Langham Hotel. The decor was quite nice, simple yet grand, understated yet luxurious, embodying an elegant European style.

He glanced around and spotted Yang Tao. She was dressed in a professional suit that accentuated her sexy and alluring figure, and her sweet and pure smile was truly worthy of the title "Great Beauty."

She was standing at the front desk, glancing around while whispering to her colleagues. Li Mu's gaze naturally caught her attention.

He immediately stood up straight, stopped discussing with his colleagues, and put on a professional smile.

"Hello sir! How can I help you?"

Li Mu walked over confidently.

"Hello, I'd like to inquire about the executive suites here. Are there any discounts for long-term leases?"

Yang Tao wore a professional smile.

"Sir, yes, if the stay exceeds one month, there is a 20% discount; if it exceeds three months, you can enjoy a maximum discount of 40%."

Li Mu nodded and said, "Oh, I see! Thank you!"

"You're welcome, it's my pleasure. May I ask your surname, sir?"

"His surname is Li!"

"Mr. Li, is there anything else you need? Do you need to check in?"

Li Mu shook his head and said, "It's not necessary now, thank you for your help, Miss Yang."

When Yang Tao heard him address her as Miss Yang, she was startled, thinking he was a blind date her mother had arranged for her. This had happened twice in the past few months, so she looked at him suspiciously.

"Mr. Li, is there anything else you need today?"

"That's all, thank you!" she said, turning and walking out of the hotel.

If you want to pursue starfruit, you can't be in a hurry or too deliberate. Take it slow and steady, like boiling a frog in lukewarm water.

Two years is enough.

"Mr. Li, please take care."

Yang Tao watched Li Mu's departing figure, which hardly resembled someone on a blind date. She suddenly realized she had been overly sensitive. She also blamed her mother, Xue Sumei, for pressuring her too much, constantly introducing her to potential blind dates in roundabout ways, making her suspicious and paranoid.

As for why Mr. Li knew her surname was Yang, Yang Tao subconsciously looked down at the nameplate on her chest. Anyone with good eyesight could clearly see her job title and surname.

……

Leaving the Langham Hotel, Li Mu, in a good mood, hailed a taxi, intending to go to a bar to let loose. After thinking for a while, he decided to go to a karaoke bar, book a private room, and entertain himself.

In this world, Li Mu focused all his energy on martial arts training and had few girlfriends. Moreover, in order to maintain his peak physical condition, he was very disciplined in this area and did not become addicted.

When he needs something, he goes to a bar. With his muscular physique and rugged charm, he can easily pick up a decent girl.

Many people who met him once couldn't forget him and wanted to keep the relationship going, but Li Mu wouldn't allow it!

For him, women only affect the speed at which he draws his sword; they are nowhere near as effective as martial arts training!

It's fine to meet up when you're lonely, but if you want to be together all the time, every single day, pshaw... you scumbag! No way.

After being cooped up at home developing games for so many days, Li Mu wanted to relax. Influenced by habit and ingrained thinking, the first place that came to mind was a bar.

However, Li Mu in the real world had never tried this before, so he could only resist the temptation and go to the KTV to have some fun by himself.

……

When we arrived at the KTV, we booked a small private room. Before we even went inside, someone greeted us:

"Brother Li, you're here to have fun! Why didn't you tell me? I would have prepared everything in advance for you."

Li Mu turned his head and looked at the familiar face. He immediately remembered that it was the head of security at this KTV.

As a master of Xingyi Quan, Li Mu had interacted with all sorts of people and even made many friends in the capital city over the years.

The man in front of me had previously learned martial arts from him, but it wasn't real kung fu; it was mostly quick-to-learn fighting and combat techniques.

These days, not many people have the patience to practice kung fu.

"Gangzi! We're not strangers, no need to go to so much trouble."

"Brother Li, you're too kind."

Just then, one of his underlings called out to him.

"Brother Li, you can have fun, I'm going to take care of something."

"Go ahead!" Li Mu said with a smile.

……

After Gangzi left, Li Mu ordered some wine and fruit platters, but instead of hiring any hostesses or girls to accompany him in the private room, he entertained himself by himself.

As if to release the passion that had been building up over the past week, Li Mu drank heavily and soon became intoxicated.
