In an Internet café near the university town, Zhou Lin met Gao Zhining for the first time.

People all around were playing games, but Gao Zhining's screen flashed lines of incomprehensible code. He wears black-rimmed glasses as thick as the bottom of a wine bottle, a mess of oily hair on his head, a face full of pimples and stubble, the cuffs of his clothes are shiny and shiny, and he even wears and takes off his shoes, not at all like a genius programmer, but like a homeless man who just asked for five yuan on the street and ran to an Internet café to spend.

Xia Da said in a low voice: "He wasn't like this before, he was dressed quite cleanly, but then he was stimulated by Sister Xiaoxin, and he became like this." You...... Don't look down on him. ”

Zhou Linxin said how could I look down on a programmer who writes programs in an Internet café, this kind of person is either mentally ill or a genius, which I can't afford to offend!

The three of them walked over, and Ning Xiaoxin hesitated and shouted, "Gao Zhining!"

Gao Zhining turned his head, his eyes were full of confusion, and when he saw the person who greeted him clearly, the confusion instantly turned into surprise: "Xiao Xin, you finally came to see me!"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to see you, it's a friend of mine who wants to get to know you. Ning Xiaoxin pointed at Zhou Lin and said.

Gao Zhining glanced at Zhou Lin: "Who are you?"

Zhou Lin introduced himself: "Hello, I am Zhou Lin. I recently wanted to develop a game, and I heard that you can write programs, so I wanted to talk to you about collaboration. ”

Gao Zhining blinked: "Do you give money for writing programs?"

"Of course. Zhou Lin said, "As long as you can complete it, the reward is very good." ”

"I have one condition. Gao Zhining said expressionlessly, "You promise me first, and we'll talk about it later." ”

"There's no way I'm going to be with you!" Ning Xiaoxin said first.

Gao Zhining rolled his eyes: "I still owe one hundred and three Internet fees to the Internet café, twenty-five dollars for the lunch box, and I haven't eaten today." As long as you help me pay back the money and invite me to dinner, I will promise you whatever program you ask me to write!"

"Deal!" Zhou Lin agreed without hesitation.

A few minutes later, they were sitting in the Suzhou-Hangzhou steamed bun shop next door to the Internet café.

A cage of leek egg buns, a cage of beef buns, and a bowl of seaweed soup were served, Gao Zhining glanced at it and said, "Can I eat it?"

"Feel free. Zhou Lin nodded.

"You're welcome!" Gao Zhining grabbed a bun in one hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing how much he ate, Zhou Lin suspected that he had lied. This guy doesn't look like he hasn't eaten today, like he hasn't eaten for three days.

"What kind of game do you want to make?" Gao Zhining actually spoke very clearly while swallowing the bun.

"The rules of the game are very simple: blocks of different shapes made up of small squares fall from the top of the screen, and the player adjusts the position and orientation of the blocks through guò so that they form a complete one or several strips at the bottom of the screen. These full bars disappear to make room for newly fallen tiles, and the player is rewarded with points. The blocks that have not been eliminated are piled up, and once they reach the top of the screen, the player loses and the game ends (this paragraph is from Du Niang Encyclopedia). Zhou Lin said.

The so-called Zhou's cube is actually the "Tetris" of the previous life, and this game can definitely be included in the list of the longest-lived, most popular, best-selling, most popular and most popular games in the previous life, setting many jaw-dropping records.

This game has never appeared in this life, how could Zhou Lin let it go!

Xia Da and Ning Xiaoxin basically didn't understand Zhou Lin's narration, but Gao Zhining nodded and said: "Elimination games, I haven't seen a similar form before, it's a bit interesting." How big is the space, and how many plates are there?"

Sometimes the level of this person can be judged by the questions asked by a person, Gao Zhining is sloppy and sloppy, down-and-out and down-and-out, but this question is to the point, obviously he really understands the rules of the game introduced by Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin said: "With a small square as the basic unit, the width of the space row is 10, and the column height is 20. There are seven types of tiles, each of which consists of four small squares, which I named S, Z, L, J, I, O, and T. ”

Gao Zhining stretched out his hand and dipped some vinegar in the sauce dish in front of him, and drew it on the dirty table.

One after another appeared on the table, exactly the same as the seven types of plates in the "Tetris" in the previous life, without the slightest difference.

When he was done, he asked, "What does this look like?"

Zhou Lin concealed the surprise in his heart, nodded and said, "That's right." ”

"Interesting...... Gao Zhining licked the remaining vinegar on his fingers and grabbed another xiaolongbao.

Five minutes later, Gao Zhining ate the two steamed buns and a bowl of soup cleanly, and asked for another bowl of small wontons to be wiped out, so he was satisfied.

The four of them came to the bubble tea shop again, Gao Zhining drank bubble tea and chatted with Zhou Lin.

The more Zhou Lin chatted, the more frightened he became, Gao Zhining was like a nerd, but when he talked about games, he had a sensitivity that ordinary people could hardly reach, no matter what Zhou Lin said, he could understand very quickly, and the questions raised were quite constructive, and some of the questions even made Zhou Lin, a time-traveler with memories of his past life, feel fresh.

This guy is really a genius!" Zhou Lin thought to himself.

After chatting for a long time, Gao Zhining said: "This game will definitely be popular after it is done." ”

Zhou Lin: "Are you so confident?"

"I don't understand women, but I understand games. Gao Zhining glanced at Ning Xiaoxin and said.

Ning Xiaoxin turned her head and snorted coldly.

Zhou Lin asked, "Then you are willing to cooperate with me?"

Gao Zhining scratched his hair that was about to knot: "How to calculate the remuneration?"

"There are two ways to settle remuneration. First, you help me develop four versions: the web version, the stand-alone version, the handheld version and the mobile version, and I will give you 15,000 yuan for each version. Zhou Lin raised two fingers and slowly bent one as he spoke.

When Xia Da and Ning Xiaoxin heard this, they both covered their mouths in surprise.

Four versions, each version is 15,000 yuan, isn't that 60,000 yuan?

That's an astronomical amount for these students!

Isn't it just a little game, as for giving so much money?

Gao Zhining was not surprised at all, took a sip of milk tea and asked, "What about the other one?"

In fact, Zhou Lin originally only planned one way of remuneration, but after he saw Gao Zhining's ability, he temporarily added a second way.

"In the second case, I won't give you a penny, only 1% of the profit dividend. In other words, if you make a hundred dollars in this game, you can get one dollar. If you can make a million, you can get ten thousand dollars. Zhou Lin said.

Xia Da and Ning Xiaoxin, you look at me, I look at you, I think the second way is too unreliable.

Choosing the first option, Gao Zhining can easily get 60,000 yuan.

Choose the second option, unless Zhou's cube can earn six million, Gao Zhining will not get as much money as the first one.

Gao Zhining scratched his head again, picked a piece of dandruff from his hair, and said while shaking it off: "I'll choose the second one." ”

"Gao Zhining, you are such a nerd!" Ning Xiaoxin was dumbfounded, not daring to imagine how anyone could choose the second way.

Zhou Lin glanced at her and said with a smile: "He doesn't stay, it's you who stays." There will be a time when you will regret it in the future!" ******** my birthday today, and I will celebrate it on the third watch. By the way, I still want to thank the local tyrants for gathering and invisibly rewarding, and thank my old friends for accompanying me all the way.
