The following morning, a heavy rainstorm dispelled the sweltering heat.

The freshmen also had a rare day off during their military training.

Lin Ran and his team gathered in a classroom for a meeting. Tomorrow is the day Momo will be launched.

When Li Futing appeared in the classroom with several design drafts, she was stunned to see so many people in the classroom.

He shoved the design draft in his hand into Lin Ran's hand, then quickly ran out of the classroom.

The others, besides Lin Ran, were also stunned, each thinking to themselves what a beautiful girl she was.

Only Ye Li's eyes showed a hint of wariness.

She had met Huang Lingyue, and it was because of Huang Lingyue's help that she was able to break free from the restrictions of that zombie contract.

Even a fool could see Huang Lingyue's feelings for her boss.

When this girl in the blue dress, whose looks were no less than Huang Lingyue's, appeared, he felt a little anxious for Huang Lingyue.

When Li Futing returned, she had a large bag of snacks and drinks in her hand.

Tang Chen looked at Lin Ran with a mocking gaze: "Boss, aren't you going to introduce him?"

Lin Ran chuckled: "Li Futing, a first-year art student."

Seeing that the boss didn't say much, Tang Chen didn't press further and finally picked up the design draft handed to him by the boss.

"hiss……"

He slammed his hand on the table, startling everyone.

"Hey, Mr. Ye, take a closer look. This is real design!"

During the development of Momo, Tang Chen and Ye Li had many arguments.

The reason is simple: in Tang Chen's view, Ye Li's imaginative design ideas were useless except for increasing the difficulty of development.

Ye Li took the design draft and her eyes widened instantly.

She was also a design major, and at a glance, she could tell that this design was significantly more refined than the icons she had made.

He couldn't help but steal another glance at the pretty girl.

However, she was a staunch supporter of Huang, so although she couldn't find fault with the design draft, she also couldn't praise it, and just snorted coldly in dissatisfaction.

After discussion among the group, everyone generally preferred Li Futing's first version of the dialogue icons.

Lin Ran, however, focused his attention on the fourth version of the design draft created by Li Futing.

This is a mask icon with simple lines, divided into warm and cool colors: deep blue on the left and golden yellow on the right, transitioning to twilight purple at the boundary, creating a sense of mystery.

Listening to everyone's discussion, Lin Ran thought for a moment and decided to use the fourth version of the design.

First of all, while the first version of the chat icon was indeed good, it did not reflect Momo's core characteristic, which is strangers.

Most importantly, the first version of the design had the same icon as the future WeChat.

Lin Ran didn't want to clash with Tencent, a giant, so soon.

However, he intends to use this design for other purposes.

When Lin Ran announced his decision, Tang Chen, Ye Li, and the others clearly disagreed.

"Am I the boss, or are you the bosses? My word doesn't count anymore?"

"Boss, what era are we living in? You're still going with that dictatorship mentality?"

"Alright, alright, you want to be reasonable, right? Then I'll explain the reasoning to you."

Lin Ran pulled out a pair of chopsticks from somewhere, and with a gentle snap, they broke.

Then he took out seven or eight more pairs of chopsticks, snapped them in two with force, and they broke again.

"Do you understand?"

Ye Li raised her hand: "Boss, you mean we need to unite?"

Lin Ran shook his head: "What I mean is, even if all of you were together, you couldn't beat me."

"Holy crap..."

It was still raining on Sunday.

These freshmen never expected the rain to last for two days, and they were all excitedly shouting.

It's a pity that we can't go out on rainy days and can only stay in the dormitory.

An app called "Momo" was launched quietly without causing much of a stir.

Lin Ran initially estimated that there would likely not be many female users in the early stages of the launch. In order to ensure a good user experience for male users, Lin Ran asked Tang Chen to create some female-oriented chatbots with automatic replies in the early stages.

As for real female users, they are directly matched with real male users.

Ding Facai was one of Momo's first users.

"Fourth brother, this app you made me download is fucking awesome."

Zhao Feiyu and Liu Zhihua flanked Ding Facai, and the three of them sat together on the bed, watching with envy as Ding Facai texted the girl opposite him.

Currently, Momo is only available on iOS. Apart from Lin Ran, only Ding Fa in dormitory 508 has an Apple phone.

"Oh? What's fun about it?"

"To be honest, I have never met such a pure and kind girl."

Lin Ran logged into the administrator backend without making a sound and saw Ding Facai chatting enthusiastically with a robot.

I thought to myself, "You're quite the character, you've even fallen in love with a robot."

I switched back to the quotes from various portal websites. The cheapest 200x300 GG slot cost 5,000 yuan a week.

Damn it, a bunch of unscrupulous merchants.

"Damn it, Lao Ding, what's wrong with you buying some things?"

"Yeah, Brother Fortune, aren't you a rich kid?"

Listening to Zhao Feiyu and Liu Zhihua's encouragement, Lin Ran realized that something was wrong and opened Ding Facai's chat history.

"When I came back this time, Grandpa had many more wrinkles on his face and more white hair on his head than when I left a year ago [crying]"

"Grandpa says I've grown up, but I want to stay by his side forever. I'm afraid he'll be lonely. [Feeling wronged]"

"I'm helping my grandfather with the tea-frying process."

Would you like to try some of my grandfather's tea?

"It's not easy for Grandpa to make tea all by himself."

Grandpa said he can send you some to try first.

"He said you're my friend, and if you're a friend, it's 560 per tael, 1200 taels, or 2500 per half catty."

How much do you want?

Lin Ran silently disconnected Ding Facai's connection and closed his laptop.

"Holy crap, how did it fall?"

Lin Ran seemed not to hear Ding Facai's shouts. He walked to the stairwell, took out his phone, and made a call.

"Tang Chen, where the hell did you find this chat history?"

"How's that, boss? Pretty good, right? I downloaded over a thousand of them from the internet, guaranteeing a different experience every time you match!"

Hearing the boastful tone on the phone, Lin Ran's lips twitched. He felt a little speechless, but he couldn't say anything to him.

You can't possibly go through every single one of the thousands of chat logs, can you?

"Then why the hell did you copy all the emoji codes? Does this software even have emojis now?"

He gave Tang Chen a few words of scolding under some pretext, and hung up the phone without giving Tang Chen a chance to argue.

Back in the dormitory, he was met with the intense gazes of Zhao Feiyu and Liu Zhihua.

"Fourth brother, when will this app be available on Android? I want to play it too."

"It'll be soon, in the next day or two."

Looking at these three, Lin Ran thought to himself, "My little dorm room has produced three supreme beings. They can chat so enthusiastically with robots; they all genuinely want to have a cyber romance."

However, at least his idea was validated. Adding these automated reply bots during the initial user launch phase yielded unexpectedly good results.

Lin Ran looked at the rainy weather, sighed, and went out with an umbrella.

He went out but came back, carrying the baseball bat he kept in his dorm room.

Damn, I'm really afraid of rainy days now.
