12 True Duty

"Hoo ......"

After turning off the "Battlefield" game, Zhao Nuo leaned back on the black wooden chair, closed his eyes, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

-- In the battle on the "Caspian border" just now, the final score was fixed at 102 to 67. The "RPG King" led nine comrades from a foreign land to complete a magnificent reversal and victory.

After the battle, several people wanted to add him as a friend, but Zhao Nuo immediately refused.

For him, this kind of multiplayer battle is already the limit. As for making friends in the game, he has no interest in it at all.

He doesn't play games to show off with high scores, nor does he want to chat and make friends, just to experience the fun of the game.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Nuo often calls himself a "real gamer".

He still remembers his first encounter with the old-fashioned red and white machine when he was in elementary school, and he groped for four days to get through "Contra". Then you are conquered by the colorful and bizarre game world, and you can't extricate yourself from the game.

Later, the parents bought a Pentium four-processor computer. They were supposed to use it to watch the news online, but they soon discovered that their children had developed a strange interest in computers.

In fact, Zhao Nuo is not interested in computers, he just wants to play games.

At first, there were no games to play, so he kept playing several games that came with the computer's WIN system: Solitaire, Minesweeper, Hearts War, and FreeCell.

These four games have almost been played by him to the point of peaking.

When he reached junior high school and started to have his own pocket money, he didn't use it all for food like other classmates, but began to buy game CDs.

Then, he became a well-known "game maniac" in the family.

――Except for the heavy academic workload in high school, he spent most of his junior high school and college years playing games.

Unlike those players who are addicted to online games, he prefers single-player games where he ventures alone.

In his opinion, games are like works of art, and only by quietly appreciating them alone can we discover the true meaning that the makers want to convey to the players.

……

The sound of car horns coming from the street downstairs pulled Zhao Nuo back to reality from his memories.

When I went to the bedroom, I saw that my cousin was still sleeping with the quilt in her arms, and she didn't have the slightest intention of waking up.

Back in the living room, taking out a bottle of Coke from the Xiaoice box in the corner, Zhao Nuo began to think about his future plans:

-- Now I have less than 1,000 yuan on my body, and I will "run out of ammunition" in less than half a month, so I must first find a way to make some money.

Although Jian Tong looks quite wealthy, Zhao Nuo has his own self-esteem, and for him, he would rather go to ask for food than rely on the money earned by his sister to live.

"I don't know what that girl thinks about......"

Thinking of the chairman of the "Hellfire Game Company" he met at the job fair yesterday, Zhao Nuo decided to wait a few more days to see the situation.

At this time, as if sensing what he was thinking, the mobile phone in his pants pocket vibrated in time.

took out his mobile phone and clicked the answer button on the screen, and immediately heard the cute female voice that he heard yesterday:

"Zhao Nuo, right?"

"Yes, it's me." Zhao Nuo hurriedly agreed.

After hearing his voice, there was a sudden silence for some reason.

At this time, Zhao Nuo's heart was in his throat.

He knows very well that it is not so easy to find a job related to games here. If you are rejected, you will have to find another way out, probably only in jobs that are not interesting at all.

There was silence, Zhao Nuo could even hear the sound of breathing on the other end of the phone, and a hint of foreboding faintly rose in his heart.

After about a minute, the girl finally spoke, and there was a hint of loneliness in her voice:

"I'm sorry, I couldn't hire you."

And so it was...... Zhao Nuo realized that his hunch had come true.

If you think about it, it is not normal for a person like himself who has been at home for a long time to suddenly go out to find a job and succeed immediately.

But he still asked, "Why?" ”

"Hellfire Games is going to disappear." Xia Xiaoling's voice was extremely depressed: "My parents said that I don't have a proper job and have arranged other jobs for me...... I'm not allowed to continue developing the game. ”

"How so? Isn't that your own company? Zhao Nuo asked.

"The ownership of the company belongs to my parents, and as soon as they speak, there will be no zài immediately."

There was even a faint cry in the words on the other end of the phone: "I...... What to do......"

Zhao Nuo recalled the scene when he and Xia Xiaoling met at the job fair yesterday.

At that time, after trying out the game developed by the girl, I immediately disparaged the game as "scum" and put forward many opinions.

If ordinary people heard their two years of hard work and were complained about by such ruthlessness, I am afraid they would have been furious. But the girl didn't mean to be angry at all, just humbly accepted the advice and thought about ways to improve it.

Zhao Nuo could see that the girl really wanted to develop a good game.

Even when no one applied, her parents objected, and her brother still made fun of her. She also really wants to make a fun game.

Do you want to watch a girl who loves games so much be forced to give up the dream she has been pursuing for a long time?

It took Zhao Nuo less than two seconds to make his choice:

"There is no endless road, let's make an appointment to talk, shall we? Think about it a little more, there will always be a solution. ”

"Okay." The girl's voice on the other end of the phone trembled slightly, as if she was trying to keep herself from crying: "I'll hang up first, and I'll send you the location right away." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Nuo raised his voice.

At this moment, he has been playing games, and finally realizes what men need most:

-- Sense of responsibility.

As an avid game enthusiast, it is my responsibility to protect the future "game-making geniuses".

Lowering his head and looking at his hands, Zhao Nuo secretly made up his mind:

"If you can do it in the game, why can't you do it in the real world? I'm going to have to help that girl and get her to set up her own game company. ”

The phone vibrated again, and Zhao Nuo opened the text message bar and wrote down the address inside. After changing into the suit I bought yesterday, I strode to the door.

When I opened the security door, I heard a strange female voice in the bedroom:

"My stupid brother, where are you going?"

"Huh."

Zhao Nuo smiled slightly: "I'm in a hurry to leave beforehand, you go downstairs to buy something to eat by yourself, and don't forget to take the key when you go out." ”

Xiang Jian Tong casually explained, and he immediately left the house. Stopped a taxi downstairs, got into the car and said to the driver:

"Go to Northside Park."
