After Lin Shu fooled his friends, he returned home happily.

It took him about ten minutes to complete the homework assigned by the teacher, and then searched the Internet for the mainstream programming methods at this time. After finding the software he needed, Lin Shu looked at the price with a blank face—close to the price of a thousand yuan for software, and he rummaged through his small wallet: there were only forty-six yuan and five cents in it.

Lin Shu sighed - he didn't expect that the first thing he did when he came back from rebirth was to worry about a thousand yuan. But there was no choice but to look for foreign help.

As a result, as soon as he reached the door, he found that someone had opened the door of the entrance with a key and walked in.

"Father".

In a sense, this word, as well as the existence of the man who pushed the door in, made Lin Shu feel so heavy that it was indescribable, so heavy that Lin Shu felt that just seeing the other party made his chest suffocate.

Lin Jinhua saw his baby son who was hiding behind the door and staring at him silently, he suddenly opened his arms and said, "Xiao Shu, come here, let Dad hug him!" ”

As a result, Lin Shu closed the door of the room with a bang in front of him.

Lin Shu's abrupt behavior made Lin Jinhua feel inexplicable, so he turned his head and asked his wife: "What's wrong with Xiao Shu?" ”

Liang Yuehua heard Lin Shu say something like that yesterday, and her mood can be said to be quite complicated, and when she heard Lin Jinhua ask, she replied casually: "Maybe angry?" You've been socializing every day for the past two days, are you so busy? ”

Lin Jinhua suddenly felt a little weak, and after a while, he smiled and said, "Aren't I a friend asking me to go to dinner, am I embarrassed to refuse?" ”

Liang Yuehua listened and said, "Don't go out tonight." Don't go out for the next two days...... What are the words of being away from home all day? ”

Lin Jinhua was actually unhappy in his heart, but he didn't have the confidence to oppose Liang Yuehua, and finally chose to change the topic and said, "I'll go see Xiao Shu!" ”

- He walked to the door, knocked on the door, and shouted, "Xiao Shu? Xiao Shu? ”

Lin Shu didn't want to pay attention to him.

He thought of his mother's death, his father's messy relationship between men and women, and Lin Jinhua's change in attitude after marrying his stepmother...... and in the end, he chose to die because of cowardice and escape, and finally left Lin Shu alone to face the cruel reality of selfishness and hatefulness.

At that time, if there was no Ju Mingfeng, it would be difficult for Lin Shu to predict what he would become in the end.

He sometimes hates Lin Jinhua very much, thinking, why is someone else's father a man who stands up to the sky, but his father is a coward who can't take responsibility?

But this is an unsolvable topic, because people are not destined to choose their origins.

And in fact, he is not qualified to hate Lin Jinhua, because no matter how sorry Liang Yuehua is for this person, Lin Jinhua is very doting on his son. Although later for many reasons, the two had more and more disputes, and the contradictions became more and more acute, but it was not because Lin Jinhua didn't love Lin Shu, but because he was that kind of person.

Is the heart more important in this world? Or is behavior more important?

In Lin Shu's view, it is undoubtedly the latter.

The lack of due heart only makes the person's own life lack rich color; Misconduct, incompetence, and lack of behavior can cause relatives and friends to suffer.

Lin Shu knew that Lin Jinhua loved him and Liang Yuehua. But this kind of love can neither make him forge ahead, be strong, and take responsibility for the sake of his wife and children, nor can he be loyal and industrious for his wife, and restrain his own * and vices.

This love...... What's the use?

Lin Jinhua knocked on the door outside for a while, coaxing Lin Shu for a long time, but Lin Shu was stunned and hid in the room without saying a word, nor did he speak, nor did he pay attention to Lin Jinhua. In the end, Lin Jinhua really had no choice, and said: "Xiao Shu, Dad must go home early every day in the future." Otherwise, Dad will accompany you to the Internet and buy you the new game console that came out recently, okay? ”

After Lin Jinhua said this, the door of Lin Shu's room slowly opened.

Lin Shu looked up at his father and said, "I don't want a game console." You buy me a software, and when I make money, I'll pay you back later. ”

Lin Jinhua looked at Lin Shu, Lin Shu's face was serious, and it didn't look like he was joking.

It's a pity that he is too young, so such a serious demeanor only makes Lin Jinhua feel funny and funny, so he squatted down, stretched out his hand to hug Lin Shu, and asked, "Okay, okay." What do you want? ”

A string of English slipped out of Lin Shu's mouth.

Lin Jinhua was stunned for a moment.

Lin Shu knew that he didn't understand, so he explained: "It's programming software." ”

Lin Jinhua didn't expect that Lin Shu wanted this kind of thing, and he was suddenly a little stunned, and asked, "What do you want to program software for?" ”

Lin Shu replied: "Make games and sell them for money." ”

Lin Jinhua smiled: "Make a game? How? Will you? ”

"No, I can learn."

Lin Jinhua stretched out his hand and scraped the bridge of his nose, and said: "This is not so easy to learn, this is what people learn in college, but it is difficult, and other college students find it difficult to learn." ”

Lin Shu asked, "Then will you buy it for me?" ”

His tone was quite unkind, but Lin Jinhua didn't care, and said, "Okay, okay, isn't it just a software, buy it for you." I'll buy whatever my baby son wants! ”

He smiled and groaned, looking like he wanted everything he wanted.

Lin Shu listened, but he didn't feel much happier, but felt a little sad.

Lin Jinhua was still very indulgent to him at this time - and this showed more and more the hatefulness of his attitude change after Liang Yuehua's death. If there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather, and the ancients did not deceive me.

Fortunately, now Lin Shu still has a mother.

After the software arrived, Lin Shu was eager to start using it.

He took a deep breath and felt that there was finally a beginning in front of him, and then he began to install programs on his computer, flipping through the relevant toolsets at the same time.

After about eight hours, his system completed the first construction of the knowledge system, and even built a virtual software model on his own. This software model is gradually built up with Lin Shu's reading process and observation and understanding of the software, which is exactly the same as the programming tools installed on the computer - from the appearance to the use.

After Lin Shu's experiment, he found that he could program in his brain at a much faster speed than modeling on a real computer. As soon as his thoughts flashed, the words in his head began to arrange themselves rapidly, and their combination did not appear letter by letter, but was built from paragraph to paragraph, or even from module to mod.

This is another unexpected surprise.

Because a complete software system is formed in his head, Lin Shu only took one night to successfully understand the principle and composition of the entire system, and he even suspects that his understanding and memory of the entire system is clearer than that of the original designer, because it is impossible for a designer to make the software system run directly in his brain.

But there are still some modules in the real system that Lin Shu can't understand. According to his analysis, this part should be a part that is not included in the tool book and the program functions on the surface, and he directly de-analyzes the program to gain an in-depth understanding.

This is a bit of a hacker's behavior. However, Lin Shu was not old-fashioned - he knew that many of the early domestic technologies were obtained in this way - whether it was precision mechanics or electronic software. His only concern is that the anti-cracking and anti-parsing programs carried in the software will harm the software and even the computer system. You know, he only has such a computer at the moment, and it is foreseeable that he will not be able to afford a second one on his own in the short term.

Fortunately, he was lucky, and the whole cracking process went smoothly. With the final analysis completed, the whole software was finally reproduced in his mind in its entirety.

With the completion of the reproduction, the system suddenly changed unexpectedly - in the originally empty list of programs, the virtual engineering (v.e) project became the only optional program, and Lin Shu had the first software in his system.

Lin Shu was most worried about the workload and code amount of independent games, but he solved the problem in such a situation.

The programming speed in the brain is simply against the sky, which reminds Lin Shu of the word "speed of thought". Almost as soon as he remembered which mod or piece of code he wanted to use, the system would quickly arrange it for him. And it's not like writing an article - writing an article itself requires thinking and careful use of words, and most of the syntax is fixed when programming, with a lot of repetitive structure, which means that it can think faster, and only slows down when it needs to enter specific program settings and numbers.

But this is already remarkable, it gives Lin Shu a basic condition to independently complete a small and medium-sized game system in a short period of time.

Although the code still has to be entered into the computer in the end, Lin Shu does not have a good solution for this workload, but this is much better - being able to program with this future system can at least allow Lin Shu to make use of his class time. Originally, the curriculum of primary school was not difficult and attractive to him.

So next, Lin Shu lived a life of writing code at school during the day and entering code at home.

He hasn't yet considered which engine to use, and he hasn't decided on the classification and selling point of the game itself, but it doesn't prevent him from coding out a few classic settings that every engine and game will inevitably have in the future. For example, the Random Route and the Mood Tree mod are classic settings that can be simplified in the current system configuration, but have a decisive role in the realism and activation of the self-created story system and the entire game world.

They have become standard in game systems many years later, but in the past two decades of gaming history, they have not been achieved overnight, but have been improved and evolved many times over a long period of time to reach a state of near-perfection.

In RPG, the mood tree affects the character's combat power and negotiation ability, in strategy, the mood tree affects the ability to command and obedience, and in the simulation development game, the mood tree affects the direction of behavior and interaction options...... The complete mood tree system has very complex calculations that can bring a character to life in the game, and is a character setting that has not developed into artificial intelligence, but has a certain intelligent behavior pattern.

In fact, this model has actually existed in this year.

In the well-known Elder Scrolls series, the later game systems almost always adhere to this basic premise. There are dozens of NPCs in each city on the huge map, and each NPC has its own personality traits, physiological states, jobs, factions, and basic stress responses.

They go to the tavern or go home to eat when they are hungry, go home to rest when they are tired or when it gets dark, and express their opinions on specific topics when they talk, and are pleased or provoked. They will fight back when they are stolen, and they will also be deceived by disguise...... In later times, the historical course of the relevant courses decisively listed it as a precursor to such a system.

At this level of technology, such a living city can almost be said to be amazing.

However, the later mood tree setting is in addition to the life characteristics, but also gives the game characters additional emotional characteristics.

And with the gradual completion of the module, Lin Shu's mind has gradually been finalized - ARPG or RPG are currently developing towards 3D graphics, and this type of game is a little beyond his power alone; The strategy class can win with the setting, the problem is that the "open system" has the least impact on this type of game, if it is compared with the strategy games that are more excellent at this time and have their own modeling group functions, the superiority of not adding other composite factors is simply negligible, and if other factors such as role-playing or developing combat factors are added, the problem returns to the original point - workload; The same problem is obviously true for action or fighting.

So Lin Shu finally decided to choose the form of simulated mixed love cultivation.

This format has a number of advantages, such as minimizing the proportion of 3D images, reducing the amount of modeling work, and even discarding this aspect altogether - as far as Lin Shu knows, 2D graphics are not uncommon in similar games at this time, and they are not outdated.

Lin Shu was not born in art or animation, and although he can barely do 3D modeling, he is also quite hard. At this time, there are no professionals to help him, and if he bypasses this obstacle, he personally feels more happy.

In addition to this consideration, he also thought a little about the market. This year's simulation and development game field is simply a backwater - in fact, Lin Shu looked at the game distribution statistics on the Internet, it seems that since the first two years, there has been almost no commercial game production of this type in China, and almost all the simulation or development stand-alone games that were popular during this period came from overseas imports. The online game market is very active, and other types of single-player games are still surviving.

However, aside from commercial output, all kinds of self-made non-commercial fangames are emerging. There are even online platforms dedicated to displaying such self-made zuò products or fanworks, and there is also a prototype of a charging model. In Lin Shu's view, the market's thirst for open engines is still quite large, and it is worth a try.

However, after confirming the design direction, Lin Shu encountered another problem.

The conundrum is art.

Lin Shu himself didn't have any art or painting skills at all - even if it was, generally speaking, there are not many characters with both skill trees, and most of them still team up to farm bosses.

If it was in the past, in this case, Lin Shu would be nothing more than two choices: when he had money, he could hire external art designers, and when he didn't have money, he could recruit a few partners in the name of cooperation to share risks and profits.

However, Lin Shu looked left and right gloomily at the group of little radish heads around him who were about ten years old, and felt that the latter was even more unreliable than the former.

Where is he going to find a reliable partner?

Lin Shu thought so, but leaned back on the chair and looked at the blackboard.

Then he watched the young trainee teacher Du Sitong smoothly draw a simple but very vivid chalk drawing on the blackboard - but it was an unusually realistic picture of flowers and birds.
