Cultivation Shura Field

So she said: [Counter-Strike, World of Warcraft, etc.? ]

Xu Zhe: [……]

Shen Lan: [Isn’t that right? Aren’t 3D games too complicated?]

Xu Zhe: [You think too highly of me by mentioning that case. In fact, 3D games can also be made smaller. For example, my new project is tentatively named "Ski Escape", which will be a 3D game with simple control methods and game content.]

Shen Lan: [The name of this game is...]

Xu Zhe: [I know I’m not very good at naming, so this is just a tentative name. We can change it if we think of a suitable one.]

Seeing this, Shen Lan couldn't help but smile. She also felt that the names this guy always came up with were not very good. But the games he made were bought by many people and many people had fun playing them. Considering that there were almost no advertisements, this was the sales volume he got based on his strength, right?

As for Xu Zhe, the filter in her mind is much thicker than the glasses on her face.

The boy next to him was no longer looking at her with his peripheral vision, but was looking directly at her. The short-haired girl's smiling profile made him dazed for a moment.

----

At the same time, in the living room of Song Xingye's house, three boys and girls were gathered together to watch an animation called "Puella Magi Madoka Magica". At a key scene, the extremely impactful picture made Tang Lingfei couldn't help but shout out:

"Why did the senior sister die?!"

Xu Zhe sat between the two girls, sandwiched between them. At this moment, he felt the pressure from both sides.

Tang Lingfei on the right yelled while grabbing his arms with both hands.

Song Xingye on the left grabbed not his arm, but the corner of his clothes. But in addition to the small movements of her hands, Song Xingye's thighs were also tightly pressed against his legs. Moreover, the girl was wearing a short skirt today, revealing her snow-white calves and feet.

Fortunately, Xu Zhe was wearing long trousers, otherwise, he felt that he would have to bend down again and put his hands in his trouser pockets.

Another episode ended, the ending song sounded, and the two girls stared at the screen blankly.

Tang Lingfei asked again: "Isn't this about a magical girl? Why is it so dark?"

Xu Zhe chuckled: "It's just the beginning, it's already dark? The movie isn't even halfway through."

Song Xingye whispered, "Fei Fei, if you feel scared, you can hide in my bedroom."

And then let you and Xu Zhe watch it?

Tang Lingfei was of course not happy, and immediately defended herself, "How could I be scared! This isn't scary, I'm just a little surprised."

Song Xingye: "Are you really not scared? You just screamed."

Tang Lingfei: "It's normal for me to scream when someone dies..."

While the two of them were arguing, Xu Zhe touched his phone through his pants pocket. There was no vibration, no message alert tone, which meant that Shen Lan probably hadn't sent any new messages.

Her plane must have taken off already?

When Xu Zhe was messaging her just now, he had just arrived at Song Xingye's house. At that time, Tang Lingfei and Song Xingye were still laughing and playing, giving him some personal space.

The situation of being sandwiched between two sides made it inconvenient for him to take out his mobile phone.

Xu Zhe clicked on the next episode, paused it, and asked, "Do you want to continue watching?"

Song Xingye: "I have no problem..."

Tang Lingfei quickly said, "It's fine with me! This is just the beginning. I'm not afraid of ghost stories or horror movies. If anyone should be afraid, I shouldn't be the one."

Xu Zhe smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's a magical girl theme, so it's warm and touching, not scary."

But the more he said this, the more Song Xingye had a bad feeling and couldn't help asking, "Is it really not scary?"

Xu Zhe: "It's just a plot twist. It's not scary anyway."

"Then continue."

Song Xingye said this in a low voice, but secretly decided - if she was really scared, she would call Xu Zhe again at night and ask him to sing to her to sleep!

Xu Zhe dragged the progress bar, skipped the opening song, and started playing.

----

The plane has landed.

As Shen Lan walked out of the passage dragging her silver suitcase, she raised her head and looked up at the ceiling of the airport.

The ceiling was very high, and the stands and lights formed a complex visual structure, which reminded her of the program she had written at the competition two days ago.

When she thought of programming, she thought of the new game development project that was about to begin.

There are only two developers on this project.

"He must be thinking about how to arrange a job for me, right?"

Shen Lan murmured to herself and couldn't help but smile.

Shen Lan returned home and rested for a night. The next morning, she couldn't wait to get up and carefully picked out her clothes.

In the middle of summer, of course you have to dress cooler. Shen Lan never really liked wearing skirts, so when she met Xu Zhe before, her only options were shorts. There were sports shorts, denim shorts, and camouflage shorts...

But today is different.

Before she went to participate in the competition this time, she bought two short skirts and matching tops in the provincial capital. Now they are useful, right?

One skirt is red and black plaid, and the other is dark blue, both are JK skirt style.

It was a style she had never worn but thought someone might like.

Shen Lan first tried the combination of a dark blue skirt and a white shirt. Standing in front of a full-length mirror, she stared at herself in the mirror for a long time and felt something strange.

It's just that I changed my dressing style, but it seems like my temperament has been completely renewed.

The girl's pretty face turned slightly red. After thinking for a long time, she finally thought of a word to describe her changes - femininity.

In the past, her dress and temperament were more neutral, but now, she has a new kind of feminine charm. Of course, compared with her image in movies and TV series, she is still quite immature at this time, standing between adulthood and adolescence. But this immaturity is like a slightly sour half-ripe fruit, with a unique flavor.

Shen Lan couldn't help but secretly imagine, if she took off her glasses and grew her hair long, would she be more feminine?

But this is just a thought.

Almost all of Shen Lan's roommates have long hair, and Shen Lan has seen how much time they spend blow-drying their hair after washing it, and how much time they spend combing and tying their hair.

She still thinks that it is a waste to spend so much time just on taking care of hair. Wouldn't it be better to use this time to read books, do exercises, or program?

The girl shook her head, shaking off irrelevant thoughts and returning her attention to the present.

This JK-like outfit is indeed nice, but it became a little hot not long after I put it on. After all, this shirt has long sleeves, and it is July now.

Shen Lan changed out of this set and put on the one with short sleeves.

The red and black plaid skirt and the black and white short-sleeved top give off a cool vibe.

Shen Lan looked in the mirror, adjusted the frame of her glasses, and pulled the corners of her mouth, smiling slightly with pride. This set was comfortable to wear and quite good-looking.

Then she picked up her phone and called Xu Zhe.

She said, "Should I still come to your house to find you? Um...you bring your notebook with you? Okay, still at the same coffee shop, at 2pm? No problem."

Then the phone hung up.

Shen Lan walked back to the mirror, suddenly feeling a little lost. The time Xu Zhe had proposed was 2pm, and there were still several hours left. What should she do?

At this moment, if it was Tang Lingfei, her mind would definitely be full of thoughts about the afternoon's 'date' and she would have no intention of doing anything else; if it was Song Xingye, he could control his temper and read a book, but the books he read were limited to novels or essays, especially romance novels.

But Shen Lan turned on the computer at home and searched for information about 3D game engines.

After all, she would not forget that the name of this "date" was still to talk about work. And work was the real business in Xu Zhe's eyes.

Shen Lan quickly found the right information. Although it was all in English, it certainly didn't bother her. She could understand most of the words and sentences, but her reading speed was slightly slower than Chinese. Occasionally, when she encountered a word she didn't understand, she would just look it up in an online dictionary.

She took out her cell phone and set an alarm for twelve o'clock, leaving time for lunch to go out for a bowl of noodles. Then she focused her attention on the computer screen and began to study seriously.

----

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Zhe came to the agreed coffee shop carrying his laptop.

Shen Lan arrived earlier than him again.

Xu Zhe spotted the pretty senior with short hair at a glance, walked over and sat down next to her.

At the same time, he casually asked, "Have you ordered coffee?"

Shen Lan: "Still the old taste."

Xu Zhe laughed: "It's a pity you still remember it."

Shen Lan looked down at her skirt and suddenly felt a little regretful. She had miscalculated. She shouldn't have arrived a few minutes earlier. She should have been late on purpose and stood in front of him to show off her different style today.

But at this time, Xu Zhe took the initiative to say: "I think this is the first time I see you wearing a skirt."

Shen Lan: "Is this the first time?"

Xu Zhe thought about it and said with certainty: "In our junior high school uniforms, both boys and girls wear long pants. When you are not wearing school uniforms, you also wear pants, the only difference is long or short. That's right, so this is the first time I see you wearing a skirt."

Shen Lan placed her hands on her thighs, gently stroked the folds of her skirt, lowered her head and asked, "Do you think it looks good?"

After waiting for several seconds, she didn't hear his response, only the faint sound of his breathing. This made Shen Lan a little uneasy. She turned her head and saw Xu Zhe staring at her blankly.

Xu Zhe blinked violently, then came back to his senses and said, "It looks good... uh, it's really good-looking."

Shen Lan whispered again: "I can't wear this at school, but I can wear it when I'm not in school. Do you think it's okay to wear it this way?"

Xu Zhe answered subconsciously: "Of course."

After getting rid of his dazed state, his eyes became a little shy. And this reaction made Shen Lan even more embarrassed to look at him.

"I'm just wearing a skirt, what's so shocking about that?"

As she said this, the girl lowered her head and poked her thigh exposed by the skirt with her index finger. The delicate skin, under the pressure of her fingertips, was slightly dented...

Then, she heard another sound.

Shen Lan suddenly raised her head and looked at Xu Zhe, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

She almost asked, "Were you swallowing just now?" But once the words came to her lips, it was hard to say them out. Because she realized why the boy in front of her swallowed his saliva, it was probably because of her.

Is it so exaggerated?

Shen Lan was half confused and half proud at this moment.

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business now. Because we are going to use Pingguo's system, we have to consider the adaptation issues in the program. In fact, this can be regarded as a slight test for you. After all, doing a real project is different from participating in a competition. You need to change your mindset. Look at this, this is a problem I encountered when I was making a game before..."

Xu Zhe presented a prepared open-ended puzzle.

Shen Lan quickly calmed down, thought about it seriously, and started searching for information online.

Just like that, not long after, the girl found the idea. She copied a piece of ready-made code from the Internet, adjusted it slightly, and ran it again, and it worked.

Seeing this, Xu Zhe couldn't help but be surprised: "You actually managed it..."

Shen Lan patted her skirt proudly: "How is it?"

Xu Zhe took one look at the short skirt, especially the slender lines of the legs underneath it, and quickly looked away.

He looked at the ceiling and said, "Not bad, not bad, this is quite a big improvement."

Xu Zhe sincerely feels that Shen Lan has made great progress.

Last summer, Shen Lan was already a student of the informatics competition, but she could only do some minor work in game development. But now, her level has improved by leaps and bounds, and at least in Xu Zhe's opinion, it is no problem for her to get an offer from a game company.

"In addition to preparing for the competition, have you been learning other things on your own in the past two years?"
