The Ant Wars novella

I got up and held the ant nest room high with my left hand, blocked the strong man with my right hand and said, "From this moment on, this is our mascot." ”

"So is this a starting plan? Do you need a loud codename?" said the fat man.

"These are all trivial things, let's check the encyclopedia together. Glasses, computers you use. "I stood up and freed up my computer.

The glasses turned on the computer and started working, and everyone began to get busy.

And I opened the encyclopedia and typed: ants.

I don't know if I don't check it, I gasped after reading the whole encyclopedia.

He said to everyone, "Ants are so complicated. ”

The fat man put down his phone and raised his head and said, "Boss, you created a creature by yourself." Is it better to resemble an interstellar zerg, or just use ants?"

I just finished reading the encyclopedia, and I found out that ants are divided into queens, soldier ants, and worker ants. There are also male and female ants during the breeding season, and the species are slightly different. I said helplessly.

"If you become an alien zerg, you can add your own settings. But the sense of substitution will be much worse, and this seems to be something that can only be answered by doing a business questionnaire. The eyed man said.

"No need to do it, I believe in ants. I said helplessly, in fact, I thought in my heart that there was no start-up capital for the questionnaire.

"I have popularized science before raising ants, what red fire ants, leaf-cutting ants, marching ants, harvesting ants... There are so many names without names, let's do them all?" said the strong man.

I pondered the words of the strong man, and for a moment I didn't know how to answer him.

Xiaomei said on the side: "You can not disclose the data, or even the type." An identity account can only be bound to one game account, and you must use whatever you choose at one time for free at the beginning. ”

Everyone was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this, and almost all of them expressed their admiration.

"Oh my God, how did you come up with that. I said.

"Aren't all those lottery games like this now, we can also have a lottery system for spending money. Each lottery ant species can overwrite the previous data, but as long as it is covered, it can only retain ninety percent of the previous number of ant species. Xiaomei said.

"Write it down, write it down with notes. This setting is terrible, forcing obsessive-compulsive disorder to death. If you can't choose a good one, you can go down without limit, and you can only use money or time to slowly improve it back. I said.

Xiaomei took out the paper herself and wrote it down.

"What about combat? It can't be all data without player interaction, right?"

"Who pays attention to this?" I reluctantly pushed things out.

The strong man stood up and said, "This ant nest room is not only this style, but also a lottery." The size can be set to be about the same, but the ants do not all live in the soil holes, but also arboreal and marching. So this place can also make a fuss, and the ability of different venues is different. Defensive offense is overpower, and the combat power will be different. And it seems that marching ants are difficult to keep in a mobile phone, but in reality it is difficult to raise anyway. ”

"You're stupid, the march is always moving. It's not good to have a runway like carousel sushi, but it's easy to raise in your mobile phone. So can the setting of this nest lottery pass, boss?" said the eyed man, pushing his glasses.

"Come on, you can draw me a sketch of the nest later. You're in charge of the art, so how can you add more variety to the way you fight?" I said again.

"I'm not done yet, the difference in the position of the nest can also change the outcome of the battle. Setting the location of the queen, the nursery, the pantry, the garbage room, and even the water source can change the power of an anthill. If these settings are not done well at the beginning, you can only delete the file and start again, and you can still charge a fee here. The strong man said with a smile.

"Do you have any doubts about the whole idea? "The corners of my mouth started to go up, and it was a good way to make money.

Xiaomei recorded and finished writing, tore off the sticky note and stuffed it into the fat man's hand and said, "The settings are all here, you write the outline first." ”

"Do the others have any objections?" I said.

The four shook their heads.

I stood up and said, "Fat man outline, strong man computer modeling in advance, glasses first draw the nest room and ant species, Xiaomei, let's go to the second floor to discuss life." ”

On the second floor, I sat on the bed.

Xiaomei slowly walked to my side.

After that, I did one... The most important thing is that I asked Xiaomei to call everywhere to raise funds.

At least a few months of living expenses are guaranteed, and this problem must be solved.

Xiaomei answered several phone calls in a row and was closed, and said to me: "I'd better go down and call, I'm afraid that you will hear that those former business partners will not help." There are too many such calls, and I'm afraid you will be unhappy. ”

I waved my hand and said, "Then you go out and make a call, don't let the three of them know about it." Fundraising also takes its time, and don't talk about our current game. ”

Xiaomei nodded her head and walked out of the room.

I lay in bed, my mind full of what was to come.

I fell asleep in a daze.

。。。

At noon the next day, there was a strong knock on the door.

I came to my senses and said, "Come in." ”

The fat man opened the door and ran in in a hurry, holding dozens of pieces of paper in his hand and said, "Boss, look at the outline." ”

"We don't send me an electronic copy, we write it by hand," I said.

"You forget, we have two computers. The notebook is strong in modeling, and the desktop mirror is then drawn and painted. The fat man said.

I looked at the thickness of the paper, and it was more than fifty pages.

I opened my mouth wide and said, "Did you sleep yesterday?"

The fat man smiled and said, "No." ”

"The company will remember you. I said lightly, looking at each page.

The above content is almost broken down to the process and the possible results of the player's actions, and the details are noted in detail.

I looked at it and said, "You added some of the settings?"

"After discussing it with Zhuang Zhuang, he understands ants better. I've looked it up, and it's all reasonable. It's really not possible to accept players' opinions when testing internally, and then modify it perfectly before the actual server. The fat man said.

"I think about it? I want to accept recharge for the closed beta. How about opening the server and returning it in full?" I said.

"I'm going to change it now. The fat man reached over and took the manuscript.

I grabbed the fat man's hand and said, "Just hand it over to the strong man, you don't have to change the manuscript." You don't have to be so detailed, everyone will understand you. ”

The fat man nodded his head and ran out the door with the manuscript.

I stood up and thought about the four people in front of me.

They are all unknown people in the department, and I can't even call them by name except for Xiaomei.

Yesterday I was ejected, shouting that I would be back to the top again who would want to follow me.

These four people actually took the initiative to stand beside me, and most importantly, Xiaomei also told me that there was such a place to live temporarily.

Thinking of this, my tears instantly slipped down.

wiped his face casually with the quilt, dressed and walked downstairs.

Xiaomei saw me and slowly followed, saying, "I raised 30,000 yuan, but I need to pay back three points in a year." ”

"How much is that?" I said.

"A year later, it's a little over 40,000. Xiaomei said.

I nodded my head and walked in front of everyone and said, "Can we complete the closed beta within half a year?"

Everyone gathered face to face, and they didn't dare to speak.

"I raised money, about 30,000. I can guarantee that everyone will save money for half a year, and I will not use a penny of money when I go out to work. The money is fully available for everyone to create, can everyone complete the game?" I said again.

The fat man whispered, "Yes." ”

The strong man also shouted, "It should be possible." ”

The glasses nodded their heads.

I patted Xiaomei on the shoulder and said, "After taking this loan shark, I'll go out to find a job." ”

。。。。。。

After that, I got a job at a supermarket nearby, working during the day and going back at night to help with the game.

Four months later, I was sitting on the couch.

All four of them looked at me tiredly, and in front of me was a notebook.

I clicked on the game's icon, which was displayed in front of me in my laptop via my phone emulator.

I opened my mouth wide and looked at the shocking image in front of me and said, "We made it?"

A few seconds of silence followed by an outburst of shouts.

"How much money do we have? I've made six thousand three in three months. I said.

"A little more than 10,000 yuan, I also went out to help other companies to subsidize some. Xiaomei said.

"Is this money enough to apply for a game?" I said.

Xiaomei nodded her head and thought for a moment, then said slowly: "Reluctantly." ”

"Apply tomorrow, test open today next week. I said with a smile.

The crowd nodded their heads.

That night, everyone slept in their respective rooms.

I slept on the second floor, and I couldn't close my eyes with excitement in my head.

At two o'clock in the evening, a pungent smell spread.

I immediately got up and opened the door.

At this time, the hall was on fire, and the whole house was extremely hot.

I yelled and knocked on every room, but no one answered.

I reached for the doorknob, and the locking doorknob was hot.

At this moment, there was a loud bang, and the crystal chandelier in the hall fell down.

I immediately thought of the data on my computer, and I immediately went to the hall.

Picked up a handwritten outline of the fat man on the table, and when I was about to go and get the computer again.

I found that the desktop and the notebook were all burned, and I reached out to grab the notebook just after touching it, but found that it was too hot to pick up.

That's when the firefighters rushed in and pulled me out.

The villa was burning, and the firefighters fought hard to put out the fire.

But the fire showed no signs of abating, and it burned again.

And there was no one around me but the fire alarm, and I couldn't find the four of them.

I held in my hand the outline that burned off a corner, and the six gods were masterless.

Everything seems to be hopeless...

I was then taken away by the police who arrived and recounted what had happened.

In the afternoon, the fire alarm reported.

It took seven hours for the fire to be extinguished.

The cause of the fire was the spontaneous combustion of the desktop computer after a long period of aging, and two men and one woman died in the room.

The body was highly charred and it was impossible to distinguish the identity, and now the owner of the villa wanted to seek compensation from me.

Because the house is rented in my name, the court will be held tomorrow.

"We're five people, one less. I shouted.

"Who can prove that you are five people in your report? You have been living together for four months, why don't you even know what their names are, and you can only say a few pronunciations that you can't confirm?" said the policeman.

"They are all my employees, and I used to manage tens of thousands of people. I really can't remember the names of these people, I just like to call them nicknames. They are Xiaomei, fat people, glasses, and strong men. I said.

"You said four people were your employees, but you didn't even have anything to prove their identity? Now all the things in the villa that could prove their identity were burned to the ground, and we can't prove the five people you call them. The villa is by the sea and there is no surveillance in that area. We can only identify four people, two men and one woman plus you. The police officer said.

The next afternoon, when the court opened, I was standing in the dock.

The owner of the villa has a perfect contract, and the renovation cost of the villa is as high as 10 million.

I was ordered to compensate the owner of the villa $8 million.

The two men and one woman involved in the fire were classified as accidents, but I couldn't pay them back at all.

I was penniless and sentenced to seven years in prison.

I was escorted to prison and put on a prison uniform.

I was lying in a cell of four people, holding in my hand a handwritten outline of a corner of the fat man's burned corner.

The two men and a woman who were burned to death became a knot in my heart.

What the hell is going on?

What happened again?

I don't know anything.
