Liu Xi had been looking forward to the Hokage for a long time. {with}{dream} щ{suimеng][lā}

She once very much wanted to move this Hokage, one of the three comics of migrant workers, to the stage of this world, but when she really started drawing comics, Liu Xi found that she was not this material at all.

She can sit quietly in front of the computer and watch TV all day, but playing games for three or five hours in a row can even waste her life lying in bed all day.

But let her take the hand-drawn tablet and sit in front of the computer to draw cartoons for a whole day, let alone a whole day, she felt bored for two hours.

A week after the arrival of the Hokage's scenery, the studio's Stardew Valley multiplayer mode was finally released.

Stardew Valley's previous sales have dropped to a few hundred a week, and occasionally one or two thousand, but overall, two or three hundred a day is already very good, and the overall sales of this game are not as good as in another world, but in this world it is already one of the best-selling indie games.

From the summer vacation to the current winter vacation, in just a few months, the total sales of Stardew Valley's dual platforms have exceeded 700,000, of which 300,000 or 400,000 were contributed in the first month, and the rest were contributed by Amway's people or players who stumbled upon this game over time.

Of course, the main thing is the discount when the dead cells hit the shelves, otherwise it would not have been possible to reach 700,000 sales.

You must know that indie games are not as good as games from big manufacturers, usually thousands of copies are already worth selling, and if the sales exceed 10,000, it is basically a celebration banquet.

Compared with those independent developers who rely on their own ability and momentum, Liu Xi's luck simply doesn't know how much better.

When the two-player mode was launched, the weekly sales once again reached the level of tens of thousands.

Although Stardew Valley has only been available for a few months, there have already been players shouting multiplayer, and even two months ago, some players made an online feature for the D version of Stardew Valley.

Of course, the player-made online function is still very rudimentary, although it has a certain popularity, but when the official multiplayer mode is launched, the player-made online function has been abandoned by most genuine players.

When Stardew Valley's multiplayer goes live, the next thing the studio faces is the Spring Festival holiday.

Liu Xi didn't want to have a bunch of things about the studio during the winter vacation, and even had to stay in the rental house company, so he directly gave the company's employees nearly 20 days of vacation, so that when Liu Xi came back to prepare for the first semester of high school, the studio also just ended the vacation and began to develop the next game.

The challenge for Stardew Valley employees is to get used to taking long vacations and getting to work quickly after the vacations are over.

If nothing else, among the domestic game companies, Liu Xi's studio has the least working hours.

held an annual meeting, issued a year-end bonus, and then had a meal with all the employees, and Liu Xi, who was tired, was finally able to relax.

Although she is usually very relaxed.

The employees of the company all dispersed and went back to their homes to find their mothers, and Liu Xi and Liu Shu also got on the bus back to Wuhang.

It takes an hour's drive from Rongcheng to Wuhang, and after arriving at Wuhang, Liu Xi usually chooses the self-operated tricycle or motorcycle that is full of streets and goes home directly.

It's not that Wu Hang doesn't have a bus, it's just that Liu Xi is lazy and waiting. Moreover, the number of taxis and online car-hailing in Wuhang is relatively small, although the price of new real estate in this city has been tens of thousands or even more than 20,000, but the development here is still much behind Rongcheng.

Perhaps after the opening of the subway connecting Rongcheng and the airport, the housing prices of Wuhang will be even higher, but the development is still half-dead.

Wuhang: This city is a typical eighteenth-line salary, first-line housing prices, second-line consumption.

Liu Xi's mother was discharged from the hospital last month, and now she can get out of bed and play mahjong, when Liu Xi's two siblings arrived home, their mother was playing mahjong in the neighborhood committee of the community.

Without bothering the mother, the two of them returned to the room with their luggage.

Liu Shu continued to start his live broadcast, while Liu Xi continued to draw the first episode of the Hokage.

Originally, she thought that she could finish the painting in two days, but it took a week to barely finish the first sentence, which was mainly due to Liu Xi's laziness.

Originally, she wanted to upload it directly to the Internet after the first episode was drawn, and then update it every Monday, but now it seems that maybe the Hokage is going to become a drag manga with one word per month.

It does feel more comfortable to go home than renting a house outside, although there are some constraints at home because of the parents, and it is a family of four, not like a rental house.

But Liu Xi still likes the feeling of home very much.

After drawing the cartoon of the first episode in the room, Liu Xi lay on the bed and was confused.

I have to say that although the bed in the rental house is softer, Liu Xi still prefers to sleep on his own hardwood bed.

And the quilt at home will always have a smell of sunshine, and her mother will often dry the quilt for Liu Xi and Liu Shu, wash the quilt cover and pillowcase, and in the rental house, Liu Xi is too lazy to do this kind of thing.

It was about seven o'clock in the evening that Liu Xi's mother returned home with the support of the nurses.

My mother's injury has not yet healed, but she does not like the atmosphere of the hospital, and the injury has stabilized, and it will be almost fine in a few months, so the hospital does not hold on to people.

When the mother came back, she found that her son and daughter had already arrived home, and she was so excited that she wanted to cook some food for the brother and sister, but she could only stand aside and watch under the strong refusal of the nurse.

The nurse was hired by Liu Xi, not the one in the hospital before, this nurse's home is also in Wuhang, and the working hours are eight o'clock in the morning and ten o'clock in the evening every day, and the main job is to cook, take care of the mother, and leave every day after the mother falls asleep.

Although the mother has the ability to take care of herself, she is a sick person after all.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, Liu Xi's father also returned.

This time the mother's car accident caused the two of them to tear their faces a little, although the father came to the hospital to see his mother once, but when Liu Xi saw the two of them meet this time, he found that the two of them were obviously unwilling to pretend to be affectionate between their children.

The mother had a gentle smile on her face just now, but when her father returned, she immediately turned into an iceberg face, and then turned back to her room, and the father also sat down on the sofa with a cold face, watching TV by himself.

The atmosphere is noticeably different from the summer vacation.

Liu Xi couldn't say anything, he could only watch his parents coldly war.
