Chapter 25: Little Things
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, in the morning, Xu Lan cooked a bowl of noodles for herself, Cheng Ran ate it, Cheng Feiyang had returned to Rongcheng, and the desertion at home was broken under the urging of Xu Lan to call Cheng Feiyang to cook a bowl of noodles by himself.
After the Spring Festival, it is the process of each family going to relatives to eat door-to-door, today is Cheng Xiang's family treat, Cheng Ran said that there is an important dinner, and it will go. Xu Lan inevitably asked a few more questions, and Cheng Ran said that it was an old classmate reunion.
The phone on the table rang, Cheng Ran walked over to answer it, Xu Lan cleaned up the dishes, and when she came back, Cheng Ran had already finished the call, Xu Lan said, "Zhao Qing is coming over? Yesterday was ...... too"
"Hey, it's just a little thing......"
Xu Lan didn't ask any more, she knew that Cheng Ran was doing the Tianxing Gym, and she also knew that it was Zhao Qing's help, but Cheng Ran cut it first and then played, and they only knew after the construction of the Daoist Hall, and the next thing was that his grades in school were not delayed at all, and they didn't give them the opportunity to accuse him of not doing his job at all, so they let him go.
Sometimes Xu Lan is also uncomfortable, when the tenth middle school has a parent-teacher meeting, many parents chat together, many subconsciously will talk about what competition their children went to participate in after class, what kind of oil model airplanes have been made after school like science, use their hands and brains, and their strong manual ability has attracted praise from other parents, and some people say that their children have been sent to vocal training classes to play the tuba, play the saxophone and play the piano and the like......
At this time, Xu Lan is very embarrassed, and she is afraid that others will ask, if she asks, others will ask what your child has done and what to say, could it be that her child has opened a teahouse café after school...... It's probably going to be cold.
Zhao Qing came to the door, Xu Lan sealed a red envelope, stuffed it in Zhao Qing's hand, said that it was for his child Xiaoshi, and asked Xiaoshi's heart condition, Zhao Qing smiled, "Thank you for your concern, Xiaoshi is not much of a problem, the material of the pacemaker is very good, and it can be ......maintained for many years."
After greeting Xu Lan for a while, Zhao Qing carried his handbag and entered Cheng Ran's room......
The two of them began to discuss something again.
……
In the end, Zhao Qing left, Cheng Ran was bored, sat down in front of the desk, the computer was turned on, and CQ was hung, Cheng Ran and Li Mingshi relied on CQ throughout this time, he opened the email and read some internal data reports sent by Li Mingshi, and after reading it, he made corresponding instructions and clicked the reply button. Next, I looked at the desktop of in98 and the icon on it, and lowered my head to open the book next to it.
It's a bit hard to say, all the games in this period, in Cheng Ran, who has experienced all kinds of rich entertainment in later generations, is really difficult to arouse interest. The charm of the board game Three Kingdoms is weakening, and the process of sales in various cities is not as crazy as the initial growth, this is because computers have appeared in Internet cafes in various cities and many people's families, just look at Yu Xiao's pursuit of games now, Delta, StarCraft, Age of Discovery, Three Kingdoms, star development, these classic computer games appeared, this kind of impact and charm of new things that rely on the information age is difficult to resist.
But the Three Kingdoms will not be defeated on all fronts, even in later generations, board games still have a place, and they are especially suitable for offline gatherings, but no matter how explosive the growth is, I am afraid it will never happen again.
It's just that, as a developer, in terms of physical sales, because of the rampant piracy and the increasing piracy technology, this mine, which is the source of Cheng Ran's first funding, is about to become weaker and weaker.
Of course, even if the Three Kingdoms Killing will not make money at all in the future, in Cheng Ran's view, it will also complete its first stage of historical mission, and it will be commonplace in people's lives as a common thing, like a brand.
This is another mountain of gold.
It's just that at present, Cheng Ran is not ready to swing a hoe on this, in the end, the sales of the entity have not been completely exhausted, and there is still a source of hematopoiesis.
Even if the old-fashioned game is classic, the emotion when you first play it is destined to only exist in memory, and when Cheng Ran picks up the mouse and enters that world again, he will find that he can no longer find the mood and patience he played at that time.
There are indeed things that are the most precious only for the first time.
Nowadays, the most cutting-edge computer games can't arouse interest, but Cheng Ran has found two ways to make himself feel interesting and idle to pass the time, one is to paint new compositions and new characters for the Three Kingdoms, and delay the decline of physical sales.
The other is actually doing math problems.
In my previous life, when I was a student, I regarded math problems as a flood of beasts, and now after I am reborn, because of my solid foundation, when I climb on it again, I find that those math problems of one difficulty level after another, in racking my brains or seeing through the magic of the solution at a glance, is actually no less than the pleasure of the game arranging troops and carefully calculating and relying on the resources in my hands to push down one boss after another.
So outside the window, the spring after the New Year was brilliant, and Cheng Ran was doing the question in the warm pillar of light.
Before you know it, an afternoon has passed.
It's time to meet with Qin Xizhen and the celebrities of the rich sons of the Hong Kong City.
Xu Lan said hello, she had already changed her skirt, put on her bag, and finally confirmed to Cheng Ran whether she wanted to go to Cheng Xiang's house, and after getting a negative answer, Xu Lan opened the door and went out by herself.
Cheng Ran packed up the "Ten Middle Secret Scrolls" in front of her and made a phone call to Qin Xizhen, she was already with Chen Muyi and was about to go to the Regent Hotel. Cheng Ran also packed his bag and carried it on his back and went out.
Walking out of the corridor, the dark clouds in the sky are vertical and horizontal, and the brilliance like gold sand appears on the sunny side.
It is the Spring Festival period, the streets are sparsely populated, and most of the shops are closed.
Old buildings, old poles, even old blue roadside garbage cans with big iron lids, the light reflected from the yellow glass of the office buildings of government agencies and units, the monotonous buses traveling along the undulating ramps of the highway, the world is warm and silent.
It seems that I have lived here as much as I have always lived, but my current self is not the same as it was a year and a half ago when I was reborn.
Qin Xizhen, a rising star who has become an instant hit in the Chinese music scene from the city of Shanhai, will have a showdown there with the third son of the Hong Kong Luo family, named Luo Rinwen.
This small city, which would not have been disturbed in any way, and even people like Luo Rinwen would not have settled here at all before, now seemed to be placed on a background that was about to erupt.
