PS: It's a cardin, it's an extremely serious cardin, I really don't know how to write it down. I'm sorry that it took me a while to sort out my thoughts and think about the plot that followed.

During the Chinese New Year, I will pause the update of "The Chosen Game", but I will not stop updating it completely, but will update a short story instead.

At the suggestion of readers and friends in the readership group, in this little story, for some reason, Yechen did not enter the seventh space to become a trialist, but followed the established life trajectory, went to school, graduated, and participated in work, like an ordinary normal person.

Of course, just "like".

Yechen's talent is the Heart of Death. The so-called talent is innate, even if she does not enter the seventh dimension, her chest still beats with the heart of death that can erect the power of death. For an ordinary person, it is definitely not a good thing to have a stronger and stronger aura of death on his body, and strange things always happen unexpectedly, this day ......

……

Yechen looked up at the sky, it was gloomy, the sky seemed to be covered by a tattered cotton wool, and the gray white background was dotted with irregular dark dots, as if it was ...... Plaque.

It's not a good day, but the weather in Fog City is often like this, and it's like this for most of the year, gloomy and miserable.

Facing the wet and cold wind, Yechen wrapped the long black woolen trench coat on his body, and dragged his tired body towards the apartment he rented.

No. 4, 14 floors, Building 4, Guiying Community, is not an auspicious number, but the rent is cheap, which is enough.

I don't believe in this.

Today is January 24th, the thirtieth day of the lunar calendar, which is the last day of the Jihai year. Because the company had a project to be busy, Yechen, as the person in charge of the evaluation work, worked overtime until the last day of the year.

In the past, after work, Yechen would buy some food from the supermarket by the way, which was usually fast food. But today, the Sound Moon Supermarket, which is used to going to, is closed at this time.

All supermarkets and shops are closed.

I should think that this year is the thirtieth day of the lunar month, and everyone with a family has gone home for the New Year.

Yechen stood at the door of the roller shutter of the Sound Moon Supermarket, standing in a daze, and after five or six minutes, he walked away.

I also have a home, although there is only one person, but it is also a home.

After all, the place of peace is home, Yechen said to himself.

Walk into Building 4 of Guiying Community and press the elevator button.

Unfortunately, the elevator stopped at the fourteenth floor at this time, and it would take a while to go down to the first floor.

However, it is a bit strange that there are not many residents in this newly built community, with 14 floors ...... Only I live in room four!

Maybe it's a new resident, but I didn't expect someone to move in on the thirtieth day of the month, and I think I'm a lonely person.

While Yechen was thinking nonsense, the elevator went down to the first floor.

The elevator door opened, and Yechen walked in.

I don't know who designed this elevator, and after walking in, all four sides are mirrored stainless steel.

The so-called mirror surface refers to the smoothness of this stainless steel surface, like a mirror, which can clearly reflect the human figure.

But after all, it is not a mirror, and the reflected figure is always distorted.

It's fine if there are a lot of people. It's a little lucky to be able to squeeze into the elevator, and I don't have the heart to think so much.

If there is only one person, look around, no matter which side you look at, there is a twisted self smiling at yourself.

It's weird.

Yechen felt her heart pound.

It's always like this myself. Is it because of work, and you are used to thinking of everything as a ghost?

Yechen picked up his phone, trying to distract himself.

There is an app on the phone, and the icon is a scarlet eye, called "Ghost Eye".

This is the project that Yechen is responsible for evaluating.

It's also quite interesting to say, she was a math department in college, and as a result, she accidentally threw herself into the game industry, did data, drew design drawings, and even helped out in the marketing department for a while, and finally joined the evaluation team, and worked hard all the way to become the leader of the evaluation team.

The company that Yechen currently works for is making mobile games, that is, mobile games.

The boss of the company is well aware of their positioning and specializes in horror games.

Horror games are a small category in the gaming industry. Like horror and horror movies, it is niche, but it has its own market. As long as they seize this small share of the market, it is enough to feed their small game company.

"Ghost Eyes" is the company's latest horror game.

It has basically been completed, the first test and the second test have passed, and now the evaluation team in charge of Yechen is conducting the last test.

At this company, the review team has a lot of responsibility and takes full responsibility for the success of the game.

Heavy responsibility means great power. Before the game is developed, Yechen can return the beta version of the game to the R&D team and let them optimize and modify it according to their own ideas; After the game is developed, when it comes to marketing, she also has the power to consult the marketing plan and put forward her own opinions.

If a game succeeds, Yechen is the first to take credit, and if it fails, she also needs to take full responsibility.

Because it is planned to be put on the market after the year, the time is a bit tight.

Data tests can be carried out in the company with specialized software.

But whether a game is successful or not, whether there are bugs or not is not the most critical factor, whether it is fun or not is the most important thing.

There are no running errors in this world, but there are still a lot of games that no one plays. In fact, this kind of game that no one plays is the majority, just like most movies are made and no one watches them at all.

The so-called fun is not fun, it is a bit of a subjective opinion, so Yechen installed this game on his mobile phone, and if he has time, he will play it for a while. Put yourself in the shoes of a player and see if the game is fun or exciting enough.

If a better design comes up with a better design in the process of playing, the R&D team can optimize it.

Yechen clicked on the icon of "Ghost Eyes Open".

The scarlet eyes on the icon are enlarged, while also undergoing some subtle changes, giving the impression that this eye has come to life.

When the scarlet eyes occupied the entire phone screen and the opening animation ended, Yechen nodded slightly in satisfaction.

For this animation, Yechen asked the R&D team to change four drafts before the current result was achieved.

The effect is really good, and I don't know how the person in charge of the R&D team got it, where did he get such a realistic and terrifying close-up of the eye, it's like - it's really a ghost who opened his eyes.

Someone in the company joked that the head of the R&D team had taken the footage in the hospital morgue because the person in charge with a high hairline always had a strong smell of formalin on him during that time.

Of course, this is nonsense, there is no formalin in the morgue, and it is not a specimen room.

Ye Chen gently brushed his finger over the phone screen, and his bloodshot eyes trembled with Ye Chen's fingers.

It's so realistic, Yechen can't help but sigh again, if this game is really successful, you can propose to the boss that you give more bonuses to the R&D team.

The way this mini-game works is simple, like this.

Ye Chen pressed his finger the middle of the mobile phone screen, that is, the pupil of the ghost eye.

"Ahh

This is also specifically designed. A light touch simply doesn't work, you have to press down hard, and only then can you really start the game.

Combined with realistic animations, it gives the feeling of a finger poking into the eyes of a real ghost, accompanied by a sharp ghost scream, even players who are used to playing horror games will be startled.

This has been proven in practice.

When Yechen was about to continue playing, the elevator door opened, and the fourteenth floor had arrived.

Well, play later. Yechen put the phone back in his handbag, took out the key, and opened the door.

The area of this apartment is not small, 74 square meters, a living room, a bedroom, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a small balcony. For Yechen, who lives here alone, the area is enough.

Yechen threw her handbag on the sofa, went to the bedroom to get a set of home clothes, and walked into the bathroom.

Taking a comfortable shower will allow the body to recover a little after a long day's work.

Because I get up every morning and take a shower when I get home from work, the frequency of bathing is too high. In order to avoid damaging her skin, Yechen only used a little shampoo and shower gel, but she still enjoyed the feeling of closing her eyes and letting the warm water wash over her body.

Warm, comfortable, refreshing, water is worthy of the cradle of life, but unfortunately this bathroom is too small to fit a bathtub.

It would be nice to be able to take a bath every day.

After enjoying the warm water for a while, Yechen opened his eyes and turned off the water.

As she was wiping her body with a towel, she suddenly saw a red streak in the floor drain - was that blood? When did you get hurt?

Yechen looked left and right in the mirror, no, and the day was not right.

Is it wrong?

When Yechen lowered his head again, the red trace had disappeared, and it should have been washed away by the water.

Or is it actually my own delusion just now?

Yechen put on loose loungewear and walked out while wiping her hair.

Wait until she turns off the bathroom lights and closes the door.

With a tick, a drop of red blood condensed from the head of the shower!

Dripping on the ground.

Use a hair dryer to blow your hair half-dry, so that you can easily damage your hair if you blow dry it completely.

Yechen went to the kitchen and found a bag of quick-frozen dumplings in the refrigerator.

It just so happens that today is the thirtieth day of the lunar month, and the New Year is over, and there should be a bowl of dumplings in the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Leek pork filling, a very common taste, is also very fragrant.

Yechen sandwiched the dumplings and dipped them on the prepared vinegar dish while watching the Spring Festival Gala on TV.

It's kind of strange to say. From childhood to adulthood, until college, Yechen didn't watch the Spring Festival Gala.

When I was a child, I didn't have that condition.

When I went to college and had my own computer, I didn't have that heart anymore.

Now entertainment is extremely rich, variety shows, movies, and dramas are bombarded back and forth, funny, brain-burning, and beautiful are filled with large and small screens, and some people even call modern times the era of entertainment to death, what haven't you seen?

The Spring Festival Gala needs to cater to everyone's tastes.

Really take care of it all, and a party will seem very modest. In the eyes of young people like college students, they are mediocre and boring.

But after graduating, I worked hard in the city alone. Eat alone, sleep alone, sick alone...... It doesn't matter, anyway, it's a person who grew up like this, and Yechen is used to it.

But on the thirtieth day of the lunar month, this "day of family reunion", Yechen still hopes that his cold home can be lively.

The Spring Festival Gala may not be exciting, but the lively aspect can still meet Yechen's requirements.

Even if it's across a screen, this excitement is fake.

Therefore, watching the Spring Festival Gala alone on the thirtieth day of the lunar month has become a habit of Yechen.

Of course, she wasn't looking very seriously.

After watching it for a while, I feel bored, so I play with my phone for a while, and when I encounter a program that interests me, I will watch it again for a while.

In addition to brushing the circle of friends to see if there is the latest news in the work group, of course, it is also indispensable to play "Ghost Eyes" that she is evaluating.

Pressing down the pupil of the ghost eye hard, accompanied by a terrible scream, this horror game officially began.

The gameplay of "Ghost Eyes Open" is very simple, after pressing the pupil, the phone will automatically transfer to the shooting interface, players can take a photo at will, the photo will be automatically stored in the mini-game program, after processing, it will become a supernatural photo after opening it again.

Specifically, there will be some very strange information in the photo, such as a grimace appearing in the cabinet, a pair of legs appearing under the curtains, and a person's shadow has no head......

This strange information is not obvious, and if you only take a cursory glance, you may not even be able to detect it.

Because of this, players are shocked when they find out.

When the boss of the company had this idea, he held a meeting with the leaders of each group to discuss it.

At that time, the person in charge of the R&D team mentioned that these requirements sounded simple, but they were troublesome in R&D and production.

No one knows what kind of photo the player will take, whether it's a still life, a person, or a landscape...... It's possible, if it's just a ghost, it's very simple, you just need to prepare some scary ghost materials, and automatically composite it into the photo.

But the boss's request is that it is okay to look at it at a glance, and only by looking carefully can you find the scary place. This requires that the horror material synthesized fits perfectly into the content of the photo.

How can this be done?

But the boss doesn't care about that, he thinks it's a good idea, and it will definitely be liked by horror game lovers when it is made.

The person in charge of the R&D team had no choice but to take this task head-on.

Yechen, who was listening to the side, found it very tricky.

But I didn't expect that the R&D team actually made it, and the most important part was done by the person in charge of the R&D team himself.

……

I wish you all a Happy New Year.
