Cultivation Shura Field

"Okay."

Song Xingye happily took the phone. Xu Zhe had already opened the game interface for her, so at this moment, she only needed to click on the screen to start the game.

The first level is the tutorial level. Swipe your finger left on the screen to turn left, swipe right to turn right, swipe up to jump, and swipe down to lower your center of gravity and squat. Every time you move your finger, the skiing character in the game will move accordingly.

The game is 3D. The character is sliding on the snow constantly, and the snow track in front turns left and right from time to time. There are also various obstacles, requiring you to jump up or squat down.

After passing the teaching level, Song Xingye reacted a little slow at the first turn.

The character rushed out of the snow track, leaving behind only a scream of "Ahhhhhh". Fortunately, Xu Zhe turned the volume of his phone down so that it was difficult for other students to hear it in the classroom during the break.

Song Xingye whispered, "It seems a bit difficult."

Xu Zhe was incredulous: "Is it difficult? I spent a lot of time adjusting the difficulty of the game, and this is only the first turn. This shouldn't be possible!"

Song Xingye lowered her little face and started the game again.

Then the second time, she turned the first corner, and hurriedly passed the second and third corners, but when the first rock appeared, she did not jump up, causing the game character to hit the rock and let out a short scream of "Ah".

The game is over again.

In this way, Song Xingye tried five times, but failed to slide out of 50 meters in the game. And Xu Zhe's own test results showed that 500 meters was easy.

"It's possible that as one of the developers, I don't have an objective understanding of the game's difficulty..." Xu Zhe analyzed, "No, this is very important, we must find more people to try it."

Song Xingye handed over his phone in shame and asked in a low voice: "Are you looking for Feifei?"

"No, Feifei is very good at keeping the beat, so this kind of game is not difficult for her. She can't represent the majority of casual players. Let's find someone in our class to try."

Xu Zhe said this, raised his head and looked around.

Just then, he saw a girl standing not far away, staring at him. After thinking about it for a while, he remembered the girl's name.

"Student Sun Miaojia, can you come over and help me?"

271. Chapter 269 268 Reality is also a game

271.

Sun Miaojia discovered that after Song Xingye and Xu Zhe became deskmates, their grades not only did not decline, but improved. In Sun Miaojia's impression, it was good enough for students who fell in love prematurely to maintain their grades, and most of them seemed to have some decline.

Moreover, Song Xingye and Xu Zhe did not seem to have any particularly intimate actions. Not to mention hugging or kissing, even holding hands had never been witnessed. As time went on, people naturally began to doubt the claim that the two were in love.

This made Sun Miaojia, who had sworn a month ago that Xu Zhe was in trouble, feel a little embarrassed now.

During the break, she passed by this corner and was observing subconsciously, trying to find a clue - but at this moment, Xu Zhe waved at her.

"Student Sun Miaojia, can you come over and help me?"

She came over, but still kept a distance of more than two meters, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xu Zhe handed over his phone: "Try this game and tell me what you think. Thank you."

Sun Miaojia frowned slightly: "I don't usually play games."

Xu Zhe: "That's perfect. One of the main user groups of this kind of mobile game is people who don't play games very often."

Sun Miaojia took the phone and said, "Okay, since you said so... click here to start the game?"

Xu Zhe: “Yes, come on.”

Sun Miaojia started playing with a frown on her face. And in the next minute, her frown got tighter and tighter as she played.

Seeing this expression, Xu Zhe couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

But after dying once, Sun Miaojia's brows relaxed and he said, "It's really interesting. Although I have played very few games, I think this one is quite fun."

Xu Zhe: "Did you just die once?"

Sun Miaojia: "Yes, what's the problem?"

Xu Zhe looked at Song Xingye.

Song Xingye slumped down on the table in a huff and said sullenly, "Don't ask me to try out games in the future..."

Sun Miaojia suddenly realized something at this time and asked quickly: "Xu Zhe, do you have any special relationship with this game?"

“Oh, I made this with a friend.”

Hearing this answer, Sun Miaojia couldn't help but shout out: "Impossible!"

Then all eyes from the surrounding area were focused here.

Sun Miaojia, who never liked to be the center of attention, was a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, the bell for class rang, which saved her. The thin girl with glasses lowered her head and ran back to her seat.

The English teacher came in with the lesson plan.

At this time, Song Xingye suddenly asked: "Did she take your phone away?"

Xu Zhe: “… Damn it!”

When Sun Miaojia accidentally screamed and attracted the attention of his classmates, he was still holding his phone. Then the girl ran away in a hurry and forgot to return the phone to him.

Xu Zhe stood up, walked across half of the classroom, and came to the girl's seat.

He reached out his hand and patted the table: "Student Sun Miaojia?"

The girl was startled by his voice and turned to look at him. She turned her head so quickly that her glasses almost fell off, so she quickly adjusted the frames of her glasses.

"Oh yeah, your cell phone, right? Here, here, right here!"

Sun Miaojia handed it over quickly.

Their fingers touched lightly. At that moment, Sun Miaojia couldn't help but look at Xu Zhe, his eyes becoming more and more flustered.

Xu Zhe was a little curious about what was going on with this female classmate, but he didn't ask any more questions. He was about to go back with his phone when he heard the English teacher on the podium clear his throat and ask:

"Student Xu Zhe, what's going on?"

"Well, she borrowed something from me and now she's giving it back to me."

The English teacher didn't comment, but said meaningfully: "You are recommended for admission, so please don't affect other students' studies."

Xu Zhe smiled and said, "I am very honest and low-key."

----

For the rest of the day, Xu Zhe would take out his phone during every break and let his classmates try out Ski Escape. Of course, he only found classmates he could talk to, so he wouldn't call them by the wrong name.

So it didn't take long for everyone to know why Sun Miaojia exclaimed before that English class.

"Xu Zhe is making a game. You can try it three times with his phone. Did you know that?"

"Yeah, I've tried it."

"It's a pity that I only have three chances. He won't let me play after the third life. I died too quickly. It feels like I haven't played enough."

"Then I'm different from you. I only died once, and I used up all ten minutes between classes."

"Is that so... No, why are you looking at me like a weakling?"

"It's not that I'm biased, but dying so easily only means that you're too weak and your hand-eye coordination is poor."

"Get out of here!"

In the free time before the evening self-study class, Xu Zhe and Song Xingye sat in their seats and heard the conversation of two classmates a little further away. The more they talked, the louder they became, and in the end they almost quarreled, which was clearly audible.

Song Xingye muttered, "It's just a game, what's there to argue about..."

Xu Zhe smiled and said, "This is the competitive spirit of top students. It's understandable."

Song Xingye took out his exercise book and started doing the exercises.

The girl recalled the first game that this guy had made. The first players to try out "Fruit Cutting" were herself and Feifei, right? She still remembered that she was not good at this kind of game at that time, which made Feifei proud for a long time.

Unexpectedly, losing to Feifei was fine, but now almost every student in the class who tried out Ski Escape seemed to be better than her. This made her not want to mention this game at all.

Xu Zhe teased, "Why, don't you want to chat with me?"

Song Xingye: "I just don't want to talk about games."

Xu Zhe: "It's okay. You don't need to be as competitive as them. It's just a small game. If you don't play well, then you don't play well. This is normal. Everyone has their own strengths. For example, you are the only one in our class who is good at cooking, except for me."

Song Xingye sighed: "I can cook, so why can't I play games?"

Xu Zhe analyzed: "I think it has something to do with the type of game. Cooking requires you to think about every step in advance, but games like Ski Escape test your reaction speed and the timing. You may not be good at this. But if it is another type of game, you may play it better than others."

Song Xingye: "What other types of games are there?"

Xu Zhe: "For example, there was a turn-based game released last year, Civilization V. I really like this game."

Song Xingye: "But I don't think I've seen you play it before..."

Xu Zhe looked out the window: "Because my time is very precious, and once I get into this game, I can play it all night without realizing it."

Song Xingye shook his head slightly: "Then I can't play this kind of game. By the way, give me your phone."

Xu Zhe handed her the phone.

The girl took out a wet wipe, carefully wiped the phone, dried it with a tissue, and gave it back to him.

Xu Zhe suddenly realized something: "Do you think that my phone has been touched by too many classmates, so I need to clean it?"

Song Xingye nodded: "Yes, the screen is all stained."

Xu Zhe said with emotion: "You are so careful, you are really suitable for games that require complex thinking."

Song Xingye smiled calmly: "Isn't the reality we live in just this kind of game?"

----

272. Chapter 270 269 Is it too fast?

272.

Xu Zhe feels that a sense of ritual is still necessary sometimes in life.

So on the day when "Skiing Escape" was launched, he called Shen Lan and came to the company's office.

The registered address of Lanzhe Technology is right next to the new site of Chongkai Technology. Although it is still not grand, this place is at least much better than the small shabby office at the beginning, and at least it looks like a company.

It's just that the office is too empty. Apart from Uncle Song who has been stationed here for a long time, there is no employee yet. And in this room belonging to Chongkai Technology, there is a camp bed in the middle.

Song Huaifeng couldn't help scratching his head: "Sorry, it might be a little messy."

He knew that although the two young men in front of him were young, they were more capable than the other, and if they really talked about professional relationships, they were the boss.

Xu Zhe was the boss of the two companies, and Shen Lan was the second boss of one of them. As for Song Huaifeng, he was the only employee in both companies, which helped the two bosses avoid the embarrassment of being alone.

Shen Lan suddenly asked: "Uncle, I can't take a shower in the office bathroom. How did you solve this problem?"

Song Huaifeng: "Of course I rented a room, so I have no problem taking a shower and washing clothes. But all the materials I need for work are in the office, so sometimes I sleep here."

Xu Zhe could guess without even looking that the house Uncle Song rented must be the cheapest one, keeping the cost of living as low as possible and using most of his salary to subsidize the household expenses and pay off debts.

So he said, "Now we have two companies and two salaries. Uncle, please don't treat yourself too badly, otherwise I won't be able to justify it to Xingye classmate."

Song Huaifeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not treat myself badly."

There were already several computers in the office, all of which had been configured by this uncle in the past few days. At this moment, Xu Zhe sat down in front of one of the computers, while Shen Lan and Song Huaifeng stood behind him, looking at the screen.

The game has been launched, and the download volume can be seen in the background, which is still hovering in the single digits.

Song Huaifeng: "This is the first game of our Lanzhe Technology."

Shen Lan was a little nervous: "The price abroad is one yuan, and it's six yuan in China... How many people can buy this?"

Xu Zhe: "I don't know. When any game producer tries a new field, he doesn't know what kind of results he will get. By the way, uncle, we can discuss the thing you texted me last night."

Song Huaifeng glanced at the girl next to him. He realized that the boss believed that Miss Shen Lan could be deeply involved in the subsequent planning, so he put aside his concerns and said:

"Yesterday a company contacted us and said they could help us embed ads in our game. The price per ad is very low, but as long as the players click on it, it can generate continuous income. And their proposal is for us to make a free game, so that the player base will be larger and we can make money through advertising."

Xu Zhe: "My idea is that this approach can be tried. The question now is whether my Chongkai Technology should make the free games, or your... uh, our Lanzhe should do it."

Shen Lan asked back: "What do you think?"

Xu Zhe: "I'm asking for your opinion."
