The desire to take root in my heart when I was in college became fateful for Cheng Lingxi to enter Yixun's work.

When she was looking for a job after graduation, as soon as she saw Yi Xun's campus recruitment, she immediately took her resume and solemnly handed it over without the slightest hesitation.

Although she was really exposed to the painstaking process of making games, the little girl really understood how trivial and difficult it was, and it had nothing to do with the fun she imagined.

But she still hopes that she can learn more, gradually mature, and live up to her original intention.

That's why I've been working so hard all the time and becoming an excellent employee that leaders urgently need.

――

After the team building in Xi'an, the project team instantly entered a one-and-a-half-month node sprint, and everyone had to stay up until midnight every day to go back to rest, and the weekend time was also implicitly deducted.

Colleagues who have long been accustomed to this intensity do not complain much, but exhaustion is still written on their faces.

Occasionally, when the anger is too big, some people drag their feet, and it is not unusual to quarrel in public.

On this day, because Lingxi was too soft, he privately promised the planner to temporarily change the design requirements, and the delay in the construction period immediately caused Alex to get angry: "How many times have I said it? Since you have already held a meeting, you can't change it without permission, even if you want to change it, you have to report to the directors and Lao Huang, and start a new discussion meeting. ”

"It's just a small change...... "The planner involved was very aggrieved.

"What do you mean by a small place? Your change of our logic has changed completely. "Alex has always been tough.

Cheng Lingxi didn't dare to say anything, still tapping his fingers on the keyboard quickly.

"Don't write it, I can't let you commit this code!" Alex, who is usually good-natured, reached out and turned off her monitor.

"Yes, I'm sorry...... Cheng Lingxi knew that he had touched a minefield of leadership, so he got up and bowed his head to apologize.

Huang Hongyu saw that they were getting more and more noisy, and the quarrel was almost over, so he came over and became a peacemaker: "Oh, in fact, the demand is what I want to change, and I don't blame them, just do it according to the changed plan now, Lingxi, give you an extension of one day, can you finish it?" ”

Cheng Lingxi whispered: "Yes." ”

"That's it, scattered, scattered, and go to work." Huang Hongyu waved his hand.

ALex is very serious, even if the boss spoke to mediate, he still felt unhappy, so he said: "Cheng Lingxi, you don't have the performance of this list." ”

"Hmm." Lingxi didn't feel sorry for the money, but the eyes of the whole office were focused on herself, making her sit still for a while.

"I can't leave if I can't finish it at night." Alex said another word, and then left with his coffee cup.

Although the boss was strict, he didn't do anything wrong, on the contrary, it was Cheng Lingxi himself who made the mistake.

She sat down with a blank mind, sniffed, tried to keep her feelings from crying, and continued to work as fast as she could.

After a moment of bustle, the office returned to tranquility.

Hua Wan, who watched the whole battle, couldn't help but whisper: "Aceba, it's so cruel." ”

The big brother of the original painting next to him immediately fanned the flames: "Teacher Xiao, the workload is not saturated. ”

Xiao Yunshen glanced at them lightly with headphones on, and didn't say anything.

His recent art progress has been pressed by Lao Huang, and it seems that his love is not too high, and he is too lazy to talk nonsense with children.

Hua Wan made a strange expression, pretending to be immersed in hard painting, and took the opportunity to escape.

――

Do what you should do well, this ability Lingxi certainly has.

After all, she is not as good as those happy children, and when she encounters ups and downs, she can cry and cry to her parents.

Therefore, the quality of gritting teeth and persistence has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

At one o'clock in the morning, the little girl finally adjusted the game functions she was responsible for with the hard-working planner, and leaned back in her chair exhausted to empty herself.

I stayed for a long time before I found the strength to go home from work.

Unexpectedly, he habitually took out his mobile phone, but saw the unread WeChat sent by Xiao Yunshen an hour ago: "Is it done?" ”

Presumably he also went home to sleep at this moment, and Lingxi replied out of politeness: "Hmm." ”

As a result, Xiao Yunshen reacted immediately: "Come to the lounge and show you something fun." ”

Cheng Lingxi couldn't believe it and reconfirmed the time at this moment, he couldn't figure out what he was talking about, but he couldn't resist the temptation at all, and slowly walked there.

――

Yixun's perks are so generous that they are often put on the Internet to attract attention, especially in the lounges equipped with all the latest gaming peripherals.

Unfortunately, due to their busy daily work, most of them have become decorations and are rarely patronized by employees.

Lingxi held his backpack all the way to the inside, found the figure of Mr. Xiao sitting leisurely, and asked in a low voice, "It's so late, why are you still in the company?" ”

"Recently, the overseer has been bored and made something himself." He replied with a smile.

Indeed, as an art director, Xiao Yunshen doesn't have to do everything himself after determining the art style and production process, and only gives a little guidance to his staff when they need it to ensure quality.

"What did you do?" Lingxi was curious.

"Come here." Xiao Yunshen got up and hooked his fingers, took a VR glasses and helped her put them on, and then turned on the console switch: "A game scene, ask Alex to provide technical support." ”

At this moment, Cheng Lingxi couldn't care about answering, because all her attention was attracted by the extremely illusory and extremely real picture she saw in the holographic glasses.

Rows of classical houses lie quietly in the babbling water, surrounded by brilliant night cherry blossoms.

It's both tranquil and warm.

The contrasting colors that are very Xiao Yunshen's personal style make this scene so beautiful that people want to cry.

Although as a programmer, she knew that this was just a product of virtual reality technology, but she still couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at the bright starry sky above her head, which belonged to the second dimension, swept away the fatigue of the whole day, and muttered: "What a beautiful ......"

Xiao Yunshen saw that the green smile finally returned to the girl's face, and then said: "It's a scene set up for our game, it's just a preliminary exploration now, and there are still many things that need to be optimized, and it will be demonstrated at the CJ booth in June." ”

At this moment, Lingxi had gently taken off the VR equipment and praised from the bottom of his heart: "It will definitely be welcomed." ”

"Sit." Xiao Yunshen leaned back on the sofa and suddenly talked about himself: "I'm used to being idle, and I can promise my friends to come to work in Yixun, and my relatives and friends are shocked, but since I'm here, I want to do something different, after all, I still like games." ”

Cheng Lingxi nodded slowly.

"What about you?" Xiao Yunshen asked.

"Huh?" Lingxi was puzzled.

"Do you like games?" Xiao Yunshen asked: "I almost haven't seen you play anything in the company, it won't be just because of the high salary that you stay here, right?" ”

Cheng Lingxi's heart instantly turned upside down.

Her originally regular and ordinary life was completely changed because of her encounter with DND.

The online game gave this girl the opportunity to experience hope and love in real life, although the ending was tragic, but ......

“…… Like. The honest Lingxi finally admitted so.

"What kind of game do you want to make?" Xiao Yunshen looked very interested.

Cheng Lingxi thought about it and didn't know how to answer.

Athletic, Strategy, Casual, or MMO?

None of these buzzwords summed up her inner thoughts.

"I want to make a beautiful and real world, where players can let go of the burdens of real life and find pure happiness and simple feelings." The little girl was embarrassed to tug at the bag of her schoolbag: "If you want to tell me the type, it's probably nonsense, I'm still accumulating my own ......."

Xiao Yunshen grinned: "What a coincidence, so am I, who doesn't have some unrealistic fantasies?" ”

Cheng Lingxi didn't expect him to say that.

"But the fantasy is in the sky, but the road is under the feet, and we have to move forward little by little." Xiao Yunshen suddenly flicked her forehead: "Don't be sad about today's events, Alex just does what he has to do." ”

"Huh?" Cheng Lingxi raised his hand to hold the slightly painful place, blushed and said, "No, no sadness." ”

"After being scolded, I was about to cry." Xiao Yunshen raised his eyebrows: "When I was young, I painted for those small magazines, I don't know how much anger I received, but work is like a step, today is above you, tomorrow is below you, smart people know how to endure fatigue and go up, fools will be depressed at the steps." ”

"I see." Lingxi received the comfort of Teacher Xiao, and the last bit of discomfort in his heart disappeared completely, and even his tone became relaxed, repeating his words in a low voice: "When you were young...... It's not too old now. ”

"Haha, why aren't you old?" Xiao Yunshen smiled and touched his nose when he heard this: "What is my name, Yan Li?" I'm more than ten years older than you, right? ”

Although Cheng Lingxi clearly knew the answer, he chose to remain silent.

"Thinking about my age, I probably don't have any interest in being friends with a little girl." Xiao Yunshen smiled at her inexplicably: "What I told you when I climbed the mountain was all my self-righteous rhetoric. ”

"W-What?" Cheng Lingxi didn't understand for a while.

"It's nothing, it's not early, go home and sleep." Xiao Yunshen put the VR glasses back in their place, and suddenly got up and walked out.

Cheng Lingxi followed behind in a panic, eager to ask, but afraid to know what he meant just now.

Note (1): CJ's full name is Chinajoy, which stands for China International Digital Interactive Entertainment Exhibition, and is the most important product display platform for national game manufacturers every year.
