Chapter 82: The Game (The second half of this chapter is a personal memory)
Saturday, May 31.
Mu Jing, who came back from running in the morning, bought a breakfast from Grandma Tang and planned to bring it to Mu Han, but when he opened the door, he happened to meet two people.
Two people he knew and stranged to at the same time.
A man and a woman, respectively, his father Mu Jianhua and his mother named Chen Nan, who are now in this body.
"Ah Jing, why are you outside early in the morning?"
Chen Nan, who was dressed in a gray women's suit, put her satchel on the sofa next to her, then walked up to her son and touched his head.
"I'm out for a run."
Because of the first contact with his parents, Mu Jing seemed a little at a loss, although he had the memory in his mind, he still didn't dare to face Chen Nan standing in front of him.
"How do you kid want to go out for a run early in the morning, sweat when you run, be careful not to catch a cold."
Chen Nan didn't notice Mu Jing's abnormality, but he was a little strange about why his son suddenly changed his character.
"It's good to run and exercise, but staying at home all day long is not good for your health." Mu Jianhua took off the gold-wire glasses on the bridge of his nose, "By the way, what about your sister?" Didn't she run with you? ”
"Sister, she's still sleeping in the room." Mu Jing said honestly.
"Well, then Ah Jing, you can also go back to your room to rest, your parents are on vacation today, and your mother will make you your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs at noon."
Chen Nan said very dotingly to Mu Jing.
And Mu Jing also raised his head when he heard this, and began to look at the woman in front of him for the first time.
The dignified and beautiful face has not faded with the passage of time, but has added a bit of charm because of the growing age, and the short black hair is neatly trimmed, without a single silver thread mixed in it.
This woman was his mother, the woman who gave birth to him and gave him life.
"What are you staring at me for? Don't you recognize your mother? ”
Chen Nan smiled, and then reached out and touched Mu Jing's dark and soft hair, presumably Mu Han's habit of touching his head was also inherited from Chen Nan's mother.
"No, it's just that I haven't seen you for too long, and I miss you a little bit."
Mu Jing adjusted his mentality, and a very sunny smile appeared on his face.
Mu Jing, who returned to the room, took a deep breath, and then didn't turn on the computer for a long time, just lay down on the bed, quietly looking at the snow-white ceiling above his head in a daze.
Sister, mother, father, is this what it feels like to have a family?
Mu Jing put his right hand on his left chest, feeling his slightly rapid heartbeat, only to feel that his heart was like a small sun, warm and charming.
At lunchtime, Mu Jianhua, Chen Nan, Mu Han, and Mu Jing had lunch together after a long absence.
Because of the extremely busy work in the company, Mu Jianhua and Chen Nan rarely go back to stay at home, and the meal is solved directly in the company.
Except for statutory holidays, the two usually only go home once every two or three months, and are almost on a long business trip, even though their company is not very far from home.
The reason why I have time to go home for lunch today is also because the work of the last quarter has been basically completed, and there are only some reasons for the expansion inspection work left.
"How's it going at school?"
As the head of the family, Mu Jianhua began to take advantage of this hard-won vacation opportunity not long after he started eating, and began to care about the school life of Mu Han and Mu Jing.
"It's so-so, but Ah Jing won the championship of the monthly competition in school yesterday!"
Mu Han didn't hesitate at all, and directly pushed Mu Jing out as a shield.
"Oh? What is the competition? About the game? ”
Hearing this, Chen Nan asked curiously.
Because they are engaged in the game industry, Mu Jianhua and Chen Nan are both very open-minded, and they do not regard games as poisonous snakes and beasts like other parents.
"That's right, League of Legends, you should know all about it, right?"
Mu Han said while snatching a rib from under Mu Jing's chopsticks.
"Of course you know, it's the MOBA-type game that just successfully bid for the Olympics for the millennium?"
Mu Jianhua remembers the dynamics of the game industry very clearly, and it is impossible to miss the big news that can almost cause a sensation in the game industry such as the success of the game's Olympic bid.
When he saw this news at that time, his first thought was whether it was fake news hyped by the media, but when he knew that the Olympic bid was indeed successful, he felt a little mixed grains.
On the one hand, as a more traditional Chinese, he felt that the game bid for the Olympics was too unreal, and what was even more illusory was that it was successful in the end, on the other hand, as a staff member in the game industry, he also knew that the influence of games was increasing year by year.
In the 21st century, with the rapid development of technology, the production of games has become more and more sophisticated, from the previous 2D games with simple horizontal boards to 3D games, and the picture quality and gameplay have improved year by year.
In the case of the GTA (Grand Theft Auto) series, the history of the game can be said to be short and scary, but it is undeniable that the gaming industry has become the ninth largest art in the world.
It is on par with painting, sculpture, architecture, music, literature, dance, drama, and film, and is even more popular and sought after by young people.
This excludes ACT (Action Game), STG (Shooting Game), FTG (Fighting Game), AVG (Adventure Game), SLG (Simulation Game), RPG (Role-playing Game).
The most popular genre is the Esports (Electronic Sports) (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) category of MOBA.
Compared to other strategy or shooter games, MOBA games are more immersive, and the competitive is more enjoyable, even for people who don't pay much attention to this type of game, there will be no situation where they are completely incomprehensible.
League of Legends' rise to the top is not accidental, with Dota paving the way and building bridges in front of it, so the path it has to take is much easier than DOTA, and the results are greater.
Esports is destined to attract attention, and someone has to carry the banner to the front, and Dota is at the front, but it can't go to the end, or deviate from the intended goal.
Once it deviates from its original goal, it is undoubtedly impossible to go back to the original path, it can only go further and further on the current road, and there is no turning back.
League of Legends, a latecomer, has successfully followed the path of its predecessors towards the future, and stepped step by step towards the final end, or rather, another starting point.
Every game, no matter how popular it was at the beginning, will be eliminated by Time, the most brutal of deaths, with the only difference being how long it can last.
Or, when it is eliminated by a new game one day, and finally disappears in front of people's eyes, how long can those who have struggled in this game miss it?
Everyone has that game in their heart, it can be GTA, it can be the King of Fighters, it can be DOTA, it can be Super Mario, it can be the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, it can even be tank battles, snakes, Tetris, etc......
A lot of games are outdated, and people nowadays don't play those decades old anymore, and the only ones who remember them are those who played them.
When those players disappear, so do the games.
No one will remember them, even if they represent an era and are the progenitors of some of today's games.
Someone should remember them, not just cold codes of text and write them down on a web page that no one cares about.
