Chapter 17 The origin of the name Tetris

When Du Ya followed Zhang Junxian all the way, she still couldn't hide the look of surprise on her face.

She is an intern reporter at the newspaper, and her grades and background are close to zero, so it can be said that she has to stay up for a year and a half to get ahead.

And Zhang Junxian is one of the main editors in charge of Zhengguang Daily, and the original intersection of the two is just that Zhang Junxian is not in good health and asks her to buy hot milk every morning.

At that time, in the newspaper office, when I heard Zhang Junxian admit that the designer of the game was his son, the whole office was almost in an uproar.

Fifteen years old!

Because the game's designer, Lynch, was only fifteen years old!

What do the average person do when they are fifteen?

How many people have been able to do this to Lynch?

What made them even more excited was that the designer's mother was the editor of the newspaper!

The editor-in-chief Tong Ziyun was solely responsible for the interview on the spot, and Zhang Junxian also agreed.

Later, Du Ya, who had basically never spoken a few words to Zhang Junxian, was selected by Zhang Junxian to be an "accompanying reporter" - in fact, she was responsible for the interview.

After all, an editor is an editor, and a reporter is a reporter, and there is cooperation and division of labor between the two.

Judging from the popularity of Tetris, Duya feels that this time it was a pie that fell from the sky and hit herself!

If you do a good job this time, maybe the "internship" in front of your job title can be removed soon.

Thinking of this, Du Ya, who had just graduated from college not long ago, and finally really experienced the pressure of society, was excited and nervous.

Seeing that Du Ya was still a little nervous, Zhang Junxian smiled slightly: "Xiaoya, don't be so nervous, I chose you for a reason." You girl is usually quiet, and I can see all the things you do. ”

"Ah, Auntie, you saw it all?" Du Ya's face flushed, she usually cleans the office during her lunch break and when she gets off work in the afternoon, and the things that should be sorted out are sorted out, and she has become a habit in the past few months.

It's just that she didn't expect her behavior to be seen by Zhang Junxian.

"Young people your age are too impetuous now, and it's hard for you to get it, so relax. Xiao Qi, I'll talk to him there, you can rest assured about this. Speaking of which, Zhang Junxian also felt a little emotional.

She didn't have much hope for her son's game console, she just wanted her son to relax and divert his attention after being discharged from the hospital in a car accident, but she didn't expect that in just a few days, Lynch tossed such a big move!

Du Ya's face was full of excitement: "Yes! ”

……

When Du Ya and Zhang Junxian came back, Lynch happened to be browsing the news on the computer, and saw her mother Zhang Junxian coming in with a beautiful woman in her early twenties, and couldn't help but look at it in surprise.

However, when Zhang Junxian introduced the two parties, Lynch was also a little surprised, but this was his first time being interviewed, and he didn't expect it to come so soon.

Originally, with the popularity of Tetris, he was able to meet the reporter to find the door sooner or later, but he didn't expect that the first person to find the door was actually his mother's newspaper......

When Lynch was observing Duya, Duya was also observing the little boy in front of her.

has a delicate face, not a very handsome kind, but Lynch has inherited a lot of genes from his mother Zhang Junxian, which is a very attractive kind, with a little bookish atmosphere.

She felt that if she changed Lynch into an ancient costume, she might really be a weak scholar with a temperament!

The room was not as cluttered as a boy of his age, but it was very well organized and neat, and there was a small workbench with a lot of parts on it.

I just don't know if people get along well......

Seeing that Du Ya didn't speak for a long time, Lynch, who didn't know what to say, could only cough: "Cough, reporter Du, if you have anything to say, just ask, I'll be embarrassed if you stare at me like this." ”

"Huh? cough cough cough ......" Du Ya, who was distracted, blushed a little embarrassed, her distraction just now was indeed quite like staring at other people's little boys.

However, she was also worried that a teenager who could be called a genius who could make a game like Tetris at the age of fifteen would be very difficult to get along with.

Anyway, she had the preconceived impression that Lynch must be all kinds of noble and cold, disdainful......

That doesn't seem like that way now?!

“…… Let's get started. Du Ya was taken aback, nodded quickly, recalled the questions prepared in advance, and opened her mouth.

"First of all, Lynch...... Well, I'll just call you Lynch. Mr. Lynch: Where did you get the inspiration for designing the Tetris handheld game? ”

"The inspiration was actually quite simple, I wanted to make a game that was completely different from the concept of the game in the past. Then there was no such condition at home, so under the patchwork, Tetris was born. Oh of course, it's not impossible to do better now......"

Duya continued to ask with some surprise while recording, "Oh? A completely different philosophy? How did you come up with this? ”

Lynch laughed: "If I say I was hit by a car and hit a genius, do you believe it or not?" ”

"Poof......" Duya was amused and bumped into a genius? That kind of thing can only happen in fiction, right?

"Classmate Lynch, Lin Da Genius, what is the reason?"

"Actually, it's very simple.,I'm tired of playing games.,I think if you can play games with friends in reality, why do you have to play on a game console.,I don't think I've got a lot of money to do and burn money to keep warm? Then came some ideas that couldn't be realized in reality, and then Tetris was born......"

"Burning money to keep warm? This is a very new statement. So next...... Can you tell us about your process of designing and building a gaming console? ”

Lynch thought for a moment and said, "Probably - get some sleep, get up, go to your own workshop, and ...... Made it? ”

Du Ya, who didn't expect Lynch to give such an answer, was speechless for a long time before asking tentatively, "Gone?" That's it? ”

"yes, I'm a genius."

"Okay, okay, Lin Da Genius. Why don't you talk about the process a little bit, otherwise my sister will not be able to explain it here! ”

"Oh, that's good. At that time, I was familiar with the Four Books, Five Classics, and Hundred Classics, and I saw the Big Dipper shining in the night sky...... After 333 days of tempering, the production of Tetris handheld was finally completed, which shocked the world...... Okay, I'm done. Don't you feel very confused? ”

Du Ya listened very carefully at first, but the more she listened, the more wrong it became, how did this sound so much like the plot of a novel?!

Although she didn't understand anything about the sympathy between heaven and man, psychic magic weapons, etc., and she felt that it was very powerful, but looking at the smiling expression on Lynch's face, she immediately knew that this young man was joking with her again!

"Okay, I've got you covered, you can go and write a novel. So next question, what do you think of the name of the game 'Tetris'? From the game, it doesn't have anything to do with Mao Ziguo? ”

This is not only what many Tetris gamers want to know today, but also what Duya wants to know...... Of course, she is one of the players herself.

Lynch was unusually silent for a long time on the issue, finally sighing when Duya began to wonder if she had asked the wrong question.

According to Duya, the game should probably be called "Intellect Cube" and "Fun Cube", which, while it sounds cheesy, is better than the incomprehensible "Tetris".

Finally Lynch slowly opened his mouth: "Of course it's because of ......"

"I'd love to."
