A vase, a banner, a small table, the exquisite and simple decoration layout makes the small tea room appear empty and charming.

The tea master is slow and methodical, lighting the fire and boiling water, ordering tea, boiling tea, brewing tea, and then offering tea.

The guests were respectful, took it with both hands, thanked them, and returned them with light and slow drinks.

When the tea master packed up his things and left, and the sliding door was gently closed from the outside, Shen Mo let out a sigh and said, "It's better to see than to hear, today is finally a lesson, and it's really grinding and torturous." ”

"It's good to get used to it, you have to understand that people don't sell tea, it's tea ceremony, it's Zen and concentration," the man opposite answered.

As he spoke, the man stood up from his kneeling seat, and when he sat down again, he had changed to an unsightly cross-seated position.

Shen Mo pointed at the other party and was completely speechless.

"What's so strange about this?" Zhang Tao pointed to his legs and said, "After all, after sitting on a chair and sofa for more than ten years, it is normal for me to be uncomfortable with kneeling for a while." And don't kneel, let's two crooked nuts now, let's put aside the local customs or something, how comfortable is it!"

Shen Mo tried to move, and then slapped his calf with a wry smile, "It's late, it's already numb." ”

Zhang Tao on the other side is the international student he met on CM and one of the producers of "Monster Visit".

After the exhibition, the other party invited Shen Mo here, saying that he wanted to do the friendship of the landlord.

Sitting down again, Shen Mo suddenly sighed and said, "Alas, your game is good, but it's too time-consuming and addictive, and my sexual happiness in the past few days has been lost by it." ”

Zhang Tao glanced at the other party and responded with a smile: "I can't compensate for your 'sexual blessing', but this is not far from Kabukicho, why don't we move over there now and find a custom shop to renew it?"

Hearing him say this, Shen Mo was stunned, and hurriedly shook his hand, "No, no, it's good now!

You can tell from the name what kind of place Kabukicho is, and the custom shop has appeared on some pictures countless times, so you can understand the general meaning when you see it too much. He is a person with a female ticket, how dare he run to that kind of place under the noses of others?

Zhang Tao smiled, passed a "Is the keyboard comfortable?" look, and gently lifted the topic.

In fact, he hasn't been there a few times himself, and he is not an old driver who is familiar with the road conditions, if he really takes Shen Mo there, he is likely to overturn.

After thinking about it, he pointed at the other party, "Brother, you are dishonest!"

"Huh?" Shen Mo hadn't fully recovered yet.

"Obviously your game is better and sells more, but you still hypocritically praise our demon visit, is this what honest people should do?"

"No, no, I said it completely from the bottom of my heart," Shen Mo defended: "Besides, just looking at the results of the same period, it is better for your demon visits, and your cost-effectiveness ratio is also much better." ”

"Hehe, how do I feel that this is hurting us?" Zhang Tao asked with a smile.

"How can it be? Everyone likes this realistic style of painting, it feels very intimate and real. ”

"Hey, we were just a fluke. If it weren't for the fact that the painters here are too expensive to hire, we wouldn't have thought of such a crooked approach. ”

After a pause, Zhang Tao said again: "Besides, the realistic style does not match the tone of the comics, and it is not easy to improve the picture quality. ”

"Unfortunately, I was still expecting a fantasy version of Transformers. The scene where the furniture turns into a monster is quite similar to the fire that induces the little Decepticons. ”

"I thought, but unfortunately I don't have the money! 'Revitalizing furniture' is easier said than done. ”

"With the injection of funds from the Bee Branch this time, will you still be short of money?" Shen Mo expressed doubt.

"Monster Visit" was produced using BGK and released on the mobile version of the bee store, so it has long been on the bee attention list. The two sides have been in contact for a long time, and the official cooperation was announced immediately after the first games were sold out. According to the agreement, Bee Games will inject funds to help the student interest club "Monster Workshop" be formalized, so Zhang Tao on the other side is now also the CEO.

"100 million yen sounds like a lot, but it's only 6 million when converted into soft sister coins, and the assets may not be as much as you," Zhang Tao said.

Because of Shen Mo's relationship, he knew about "Super Transparency", and also noticed the MillStoech grinding disc technology behind it.

"It's a little less," Shen Mo nodded, "Why don't you order more?"

"You don't know the reason?" Zhang Tao asked rhetorically, and then without waiting for the other party to answer, he gave his own answer: "The capital injection has to be exchanged for shares, how much appetite and how much food you eat, I didn't want to become a fat man in one bite." ”

Zhang Tao insisted on waiting for the game to be released before accepting the capital injection, ostensibly to complete this independent work from beginning to end. In fact, it is betting on the big sales of the game, and the performance pushes up the valuation.

Although they are willing to accept outside capital injections, too much initial capital injection is not tolerated, because it will only make them lose too much equity and control, and make themselves pure workers. Although the bees want more shares or even wholly-owned acquisitions, they are afraid that the run will be too much, and people will pick and leave or grind foreign workers, and the current investment plan is the result of many games between the two sides.

Of course, if the first 100 million yen is spent and the company has not yet achieved breakeven, Zhang Tao and his family will have to accept additional investment from bees or third parties. If the completion of the project is too poor, it will even withdraw and stop loss.

Shen Mo also understands this truth, just now he was just talking fast for a while. Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, he quickly changed the subject.

Bending down to pick up his briefcase, he took out a rectangular box from it, and Shen Mo pushed it in front of Zhang Tao, "Thank you for your hospitality, a little gift, not a respect." ”

"You're too polite," the latter was about to excuse himself, but when he saw the appearance of the box, he swallowed the remaining half of the card. Grabbing the box, Zhang Tao shouted happily, "How did you buy the elf eggs?"

Then he said quickly: "I saw it when I visited the Hyuga branch before, and I planned to buy a few to give away and collect." As a result, those devils didn't sell it, and they had to get it on sale on the C90, and I originally thought that 30,000 yen an egg should not sell quickly, but when I was busy with my work, I rushed over and sold them all! Later, when I inquired, I found out that many people were buying more than a dozen pieces, and it turned out that they were targeted by scalpers!"

Shen Mo smiled, "My friend bought fifteen pieces, and I just bought them from him." ”

The friend he said was naturally Clevin Bell, who was secretly photographing the aurora over the North Pole at the moment.

The axiom of the shortest straight line between two points is valid only for planes, and for a sphere, the shortest distance between two points is the inferior arc of the great circle of the sphere that passes through these two points. The circle on the sphere where the center of the circle coincides with the sphere is the largest, so it is called the great circle, and for the earth, the equator and all the meridian coils are great circles.

For Asia-America routes, flying over the North Pole can shorten the journey by thousands of kilometers, saving airlines money on fuel, passengers earning time, and reducing air pollution. The only not-so-good side is that the radiation at high altitude in the Arctic is somewhat large.

Aurora is the result of charged particle streams being deflected to the north and south poles by the geomagnetic field, and these particle streams cause interference to the onboard electronic equipment and require special reinforcement, and at the same time, radiation is also harmful to the occupants. Fortunately, the impact is not great, except for sensitive pregnant women and frequent captains, who don't need to care about this.

Kraven was more concerned with the ethereal and strange sky light above the polar regions than about the potential danger.

It's mid-August, and the polar day area over the Arctic is shrinking, and it will turn into polar night after the autumnal equinox in September. Before, he specifically checked the route time on the bee earth, found the most suitable route to observe the aurora and ran to buy a ticket, but his interest was stopped by the flight attendant, and the reason was also very legitimate, there was radiation outside.

This time, he learned his lesson, and when the scheduled time came, he immediately lifted the visor, slapped his mobile phone with a selfie suction cup on the porthole, and then casually lowered the board and went to the back screen of the chair to pass the time.

As for whether he can photograph the aurora in this way, he is actually not sure.

There are three prerequisites for seeing the aurora: solar wind, high magnetic latitude, and night, and the latter two can also be partially determined by choosing flights, but the first condition is beyond the reach of manpower. Thankfully, the solar wind is currently in an active cycle, and if you're lucky, you should be able to capture the aurora.

Of course, if he is lucky, he will not only photograph the aurora, but also find that his bee phone has been reimbursed, and the plane he is on is getting lost and out of control, and the people on the plane are screaming and ugly in fright.

Fortunately, the solar storm that was rumored to be ready to knock humans back to the gas turbine era did not happen, and the large airliner still found a way to fly to New York's JFK Kennedy Airport on the other side of the world.

After watching the video for a while, Kraven stood up and walked into the bathroom. While releasing water, he fantasized about "blue ice falling from the sky" and smashing into some unlucky guy, which made him feel that his motivation was particularly strong.

In fact, the in-line toilet and deodorized toilet that are easy to lead to ice flying incidents have long been eliminated, and vacuum toilets are commonly used in modern civil aviation aircraft, and the stolen goods will be sucked into the steel tank and sealed, and then pumped away after landing and disposed of, not like birds flying while pulling.

However, his good interest did not last long, and when he came out of the bathroom, Kraven was confronted by a young man and woman holding hands. Seeing that he gave up his position, the two of them unabashedly got in, and the sound of the toilet door closing directly caused thousands of splash damage to a certain Irish single.

After staring at the sign on the door for a few seconds, Kraven gave up the idea of revenge by lifting the sign to unlock the toilet door and leaving a pair of bitch sluts faceless, and turned back to his seat, not leaving to be overheard.

Lifting the visor and looking outside, he found that the phone was hanging on the glass, and there were only few bright stars in the sky, and there was no sign of the aurora. Even if you didn't shoot the aurora, you could still shoot a brilliant starry sky, but unfortunately the moonlight was too bright to block most of the stars.

Sighing in disappointment, Kraven lowered the bezel but didn't take out his phone, he still wanted to try his luck. Anyway, he had already vacated the flash memory of his mobile phone before, and also set the camera to astronomical recording mode, which was enough to withstand more than ten hours of continuous shooting.

Glancing at the screen in front of him, he showed no interest in continuing to watch the on-board video. Bored, Craven reached into his pocket and pulled out a transparent egg-shaped object, which was a limited-edition toy elf egg sold by the Bee Hinata Branch.

It is not only a beautiful and unique holographic gacha, but also a voice electronic pet with "evolvable intelligence" and can interact with its owner.

The most important thing is that the elf in the egg is more mature and refined, not as childish as the tamagotchi he played with when he was a child, and it hit the itch spot of Craven at once, and he directly swiped his card to buy fifteen.

He didn't plan to buy so much, but when he saw that the people in front of him were swiping their cards to buy limited eggs, he bought more as soon as he was excited. Originally, he was still worried about how to sell the extra eggs to pay off the credit card, but after Shen Mo found out, he directly bought twelve at a higher price, leaving only two for him.

The egg in Kraven's hand had been activated and soon lit up when it left the dark pocket, projecting a few large words "Alt: 2KM, ClimbOrFlight?" onto the resin shell, meaning two kilometers above sea level, whether to enable climb mode or flight mode.

The higher the altitude, the lower the air pressure, so it is possible to roughly measure the altitude with a barometric pressure sensor, but this method is not effective in the artificial environment. Just like Kraven is now, he is obviously at an altitude of 10,000 meters above sea level, but because of the pressurization of the cabin, he is mistaken by the equipment for being on a 2,000-meter-high mountain.

Pointing his finger at Flight, he activates airplane mode. In this mode, the speaker and iFi are turned off to conserve energy, while the microphone is placed in black box mode in case of emergency.

Fortunately, Kraven and the surrounding passengers did not know that the elf egg was listening to the movement in the cabin, otherwise there would be a little turmoil, after all, there are no longer a few people who are taboo about death and disaster.

The original text disappeared, and an "egg" with a blue spot on a white background and a faint blue light appeared on the screen, floating up and down. Thanks to the excellent optical design, the egg looks three-dimensional, and at first glance it looks like there is a real egg in your hand.

Of course, you can't shake the egg and the head violently, or the picture will collapse. Fortunately, the plane did not encounter turbulence at this time, so Kraven had the leisure to play the following dialogue game.

A line of English emerged above the eggshell: "Am I the first egg that can fly without hatching?"

Kraven smiled and pressed his thumb on the red cross in the lower right.

The leap of the blue egg slowed down significantly, and at the same time, a new text bubble appeared on the pointed head: "Well, there are so many eggs being transported around every year, how can I be the first?"

Seeing that the blue egg was a little lost, Claven hurriedly chose to comfort it and made it tremble again.

Elf eggs are chatbots with 3D avatars, which do not need to be fed in a bath but have a strong need for chatting, because this is the food for Ta's "evolution". After long-term conversation training, AI will become more human-like, and maybe someone will fall in love with him.
