Chapter Thirty-Six: Mario the King! (Medium)
"Zero zero seven, zero zero seven, sure enough, it's Lynch again! I was so pleasantly surprised! ”
Luo Xu looked at the computer, although there was surprise on his face, but it was more of a "Ah, that's really the case" feeling filled his mind.
After the last conversation with Lynch, he has a strong confidence in this teenager who is many years younger than himself, but has a vision far beyond the current game industry.
Coupled with the fact that Lynch has revealed a little bit of Super Mario information, he can also imagine what Super Mario would be like if it was really as Lynch said.
Now, he finds that he still seems to be underestimating.
The PC version of Super Mario Lynch does not optimize the graphics, and uses the original pixel obvious pattern, which is not that Lynch can't do it well, it's just a promotion strategy.
Just as many places pay to give you better VIP service, Lynch is only making a demo version now, and when the actual product is finally produced, he will use the current technology to optimize it and make a better picture.
The civilization of this world is actually very peculiar: years of war have made the cultural and entertainment industry extremely backward, while military technology is developed, civilian technology is only equivalent to about 2000 years in Lynch's previous life, but Lynch believes that it does not take many years to develop to the point of later generations.
So it's entirely possible to make a more polished Super Mario game, but that's going to have to wait until the actual product is released.
Now it's just the trial version of Super Mario, which makes Luo Xu have a feeling of unfinished business, and he can't help but want to continue playing.
Although the background music is simple, it has a great sense of rhythm, and the sound of shooting and killing turtles is even more involuntarily high.
"It's a game that brings people into the rhythm!"
Luo Xu's eyes were bright, and after thinking about it, he picked up the phone again and dialed one of the numbers: "Hey, old money, it's me, Xiao Luo." You're now recommending the games on display on the homepage of the main site, right? I highly recommend adding this Super Mario, yes, that's right, the designer is the one from Tetris, absolute quality assurance! Trust me, that's right! ”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and finally Lao Qian said in a deep voice: "Xiao Luo, this time I believe you, you said to recommend him, then I will recommend him, but if the quality of this game is not good, then we will withdraw it at any time, even if he is originally going to enter the judges' identity." ”
Luo Xu patted his chest and packed the ticket: "No problem, do you think I Luo Xu seems to be the kind of person who has no face and no skin to rub and can't recommend?" But don't worry, it's absolutely wonderful! I'll write a review and send it to you in a moment, and you guys hang it up quickly! ”
Hanging up the phone, Luo Xu refreshed the page again.
"Tick tock, tick tock!"
Super Mario's cheerful BGM rang again, and Luo Xu followed this BGM and directly tapped and wrote on the keyboard.
……
Wu Haowen and Dong Silin, a newlywed couple, were sweetly snuggling up to the bed, looking at the laptop in their hands.
It's not that there are no laptops in this world where the Internet has just become popular, but there are relatively few people who own them, and Wu Haowen and Dong Silin have such a one, which is a gift from them after they got married.
The two met in high school, when Wu Haowen was a "bad student" who didn't learn and didn't know how to learn, while Dong Silin was a rare good girl in the class.
And even fewer people know that what brought the two together was nothing else but the game.
At that time, Dong Silin was ordered by the teacher to find Wu Haowen, who was truant, but found that he was having fun in the arcade hall where there were only a few arcade machines that were said to be gifts from foreign friends, but this good girl didn't know what was crazy, and she actually played there with Wu Haowen for an afternoon, even more crazy than Wu Haowen, and finally even the teacher could only angrily use the big trick of "please parents" - of course, that is a later story.
The two came together because of the game, and they also pay special attention to the game on weekdays.
The young couple with a good income have a room at home, all of which are filled with all kinds of games, game consoles, etc., each of which can be said to be part of the crystallization of their love.
"Linlin, let me tell you, I found a website, I guarantee that you will be happy when you read it!"
Wu Haowen pretended to be mysterious and said mysteriously, in exchange for a roll of Dong Silin's eyes: "Say it quickly, otherwise you will wash the dishes tonight!" ”
Wu Haowen was very aggrieved: "It seems that I usually wash the dishes!" ”
In fact, Dong Silin is even crazier than Wu Haowen when she plays games, and she can't see the appearance of the good girl back then: "Do you say it, be careful of the washboard?" ”
However, don't look at the threatening lines, but the eyes of the two are filled with warm love.
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to sell Guanzi, right?" Wu Haowen raised his hands and begged for mercy, and then quickly swiped his hand on the keyboard of his laptop to open a website, and suddenly a beautifully designed page popped up, "Oh, that's it, the official website of the 'Hai Na Baichuan Game Creative Selection Competition', you don't have to worry about any games to be fun now, right?" ”
The woman in his arms with long hair that had just been washed and still had a little moisture in his arms suddenly lit up, and chuckled: "Count you as acquaintances, let's take a look at what good things this website has first." ”
Soon, the "Judges' Recommendation" column at the top of the website came into their sights.
Judge's comments:
The most painful thing in life is that people are alive and the mushrooms are gone, and the more painful thing in life is that people are dead and the mushrooms are still there.
In the past, eating mushrooms and going up to the fifth floor in one breath was very laborious. Now it's okay, with the new mushroom in the mushroom powerful mushroom, one top five, go up to the fifth floor in one go, it's not a lot of effort!
Follow Mario, Uncle Ma will take you to eat mushrooms! ”
"Eh, this game called Super Mario seems to be a lot of fun!" Dong Silin was immediately attracted, and poked her husband's chest with her other hand, "It looks a bit like the shooting game we played at the beginning, oh no, it's a lot worse, but it's still fun!" ”
Soon, the BGM of the demo version of the game sounded, and Mario in the game was manipulated by Dong Silin to start a cheerful journey to death.
- Yes, Dong Silin is crazy no matter what game she plays, but unfortunately her skills are very poor, and she can't play well, but it still can't affect her enthusiasm.
Not long after, Uncle Mario was hit by a strange turtle and was killed, enjoying Chinese New Year's Eve eight seconds.
Wu Haowen suddenly sighed: "Linlin, it seems that you played that shooting game in thirty-eight seconds, do you think this is fate?" ”
"Fate, you're big! Come and help, I'm going to die again, oh yes, I'm dead! ”
Wu Haowen smiled slightly, his arms passed through Dong Silin's body from under his armpits, grabbed her two hands and began to help control them.
The faint body fragrance on the woman in her arms, just like in the arcade hall back then, has not changed.

Author's Note:
First of all, regarding the issue of changing the name of the game, there are two main reasons why Xiaoya did not change its name:
First, it should be a little memory of the original world left by the protagonist as a game lover, as well as respect for the original author.
Second, it looks more comfortable, as if the reborn great writer changed the new names of the mortal cultivators, Breaking the Sky, and the complete works of Sherlock Holmes, I'm afraid it will look very strange, right? For some names that have long been household names, changing the name will seem even more strange, for example, if I changed Tetris to Chinese Cube, the feeling of bringing in must be much less.
However, Xiao Ye will also pay attention to the problem of the name of the game in the future, and try not to have a strong biased name like Tetris, which Xiao Ye can promise.
Secondly, why start with low-end handhelds, red and white machines, instead of PCs or large game consoles
First of all, the background of the world is that military technology is high and civilian technology is low, and computer networks and the like are only just popularized, but the domestic game industry is extremely backward
In this case, how many people really play the main character to launch the PC version of the game? In the absence of a suitable network charging system, the protagonist always has to make money, right? How does the online version make money?
Secondly, about high-end large-scale games - in a country where there is no such elimination concept as Tetris, if there is a game console with an unprecedentedly large worldview system, or extremely expensive itself, how many people will buy it? Having the technology to manufacture advanced game consoles does not mean that advanced game consoles do not cost money, a 3000 yuan game console, how many people will buy it after seeing it? I'm afraid there aren't many other than die-hard and money-rich people, right? But how many diehards does the protagonist have now? The handheld is different, a handheld computer that costs dozens of dollars can make it easy for people to start with the idea of "play and try"!
