Chapter 17: Recruiting new members
Lin π Ke is worried that he will be put on a monitor these days, so he tries not to take it to discuss things with his teammates, and he is worried that when he is alone with his father, his father will notice that it is different from before, and after his father told her that his mother will be home in a few days, he began to worry about whether his mother would see that the body passing by was replaced.
It is not unreasonable for Lin π to be so worried, although the appearance and materials of the passing by are designed to be the same as before, but the temperament of this old dog has changed drastically - for example, it used to be very familiar with Luo Lang, but now it will yell at him; He used to be less disruptive than a puppy, but now he picks up the pen in his backpack and throws it out every day. Lin π Ke thought:
When mom comes back and sees it so lively, will she feel anything? In fact, don't talk about mother, it's a dull person like Dad, when Lin π Ke pretended to find a passerby that day, he looked at the passing by with doubts and thoughts.
However, these things are not fun to think about, Lin π Ke thought about it, and now he is more willing to spend his time on organizing a party with his teammates in the External Relations Department - the External Relations Department collectively deliberated and decided to develop reserve members through the party, and if the friends invited by him become reserve members, they will be recorded in the column of whose task is completed with 1 point, and if they accumulate 20 points, they can be allowed to equip a new function.
They organized four gatherings in one week with the group's funds allocated for the event.
The first meeting was started by Lin π. He invited a few friends he trusted at Kitahara High School.
This holiday, the whole inner world was turned upside down, and Lin π almost forgot that he was originally a person who loved to be lively.
The people he invited this time included his classmates Shi Zhe, Tang Han and Liu Xiwei, as well as Wang Beiling and Pirot from the school tennis team; There are also Lou Wanyan, Bu Mengxian and Bu Mengjun, who are also the children of faculty and staff, and there were originally a few candidates, but when Lin π Ke was about to invite them, he found out that they were also MNPC, so he decisively gave up inviting them to the party. In the end, he also thought that he had some fans at school, in fact, Lin π wanted to invite him, but after thinking about it, he reluctantly gave up - opening a harem in the group will definitely lead to anger among the group.
The party was planned by Wen Di: the venue was chosen for a sports and leisure club on the outskirts of the city, which includes a go-kart track, a racetrack and an archery hall.
Wang Beiling and Pirot of the tennis team arrived first, and when they came, Lin π Ke and Wen Di had just arrived, and Si Chenxin, Qiao Sasa and Du Yu were still on the way.
"I said why don't you like to contact us lately!" As soon as Wang Beiling came, he put his arm on Lin π ke's shoulder and said, "It turns out that we have made a fortune, please let us all play such a money-burning thing." ”
"yes." Wen Di interjected proudly: "We all follow Shi Qingyue to make money this summer!" ”
Wang Beiling said with a smile on half of his face: "Follow Shi Qingyue to move bricks?" ”
Lin π Ke clasped his hands and said with a smile: "Almost, that is, knock on the code, Lala Angel Investment, and develop a game together." ”
"Isn't it?" Pilot, who had not spoken, asked anxiously, "I only knew that he could write code, but he could really develop games on his own so quickly?" ”
"What do you mean by a person?" Lin π retorted: "We now have a total of eight people, some of whom help Qingyue write code and do testing, and the rest of them help him pull partners and investment." ”
At this time, classmates Shi Zhe, Tang Han and Lou Wanyan, the children of the faculty and staff, also arrived, and when they heard the lively talk here, they all approached and listened carefully.
"Did you get an investment?" Shi Zhe asked with a gossipy face.
A lively and crisp girl's laughter interrupted their conversation, and it turned out to be Liu Xiwei, Bu Mengxian and Bu Mengjun who came belatedly.
The light smile like a dream hit Lin π ke's heart hard, he looked at Wen Di who was busy socializing next to him, and thought of Lu Haoyue, Du Yu, Si Chenxin and Qiao Sasa, who were not present, and suddenly realized that they hadn't laughed at the innocence of today's female classmates for a long time - the women who bear the burden of the whole world have another kind of style, but they are not the elf group portraits in the memory of teenagers.
Lin π Ke felt a chivalrous tenderness in his heart, he blamed himself for thinking too much and doing too little recently, he also has a high-performance brain now, and he should be able to study anti-surveillance and anti-tracking with Shi Qingyue. After solving the risk of brain data leakage, Lin π Ke will have the courage to call Yun Mengze and ask him to transform their brains and bodies as soon as possible, so that they can withstand the overload of work.
Si Chenxin, Qiao Sasa and Du Yu were the last to arrive, and the three peacocks who opened the screen pinched themselves one by one beautifully, but they happened to meet each other, and as soon as they appeared, they were shocked.
Lin π heard the whispers of his friends -
"Isn't that the first-level Huaji Chenxin? Did she have plastic surgery? No wonder I haven't posted a photo for a long time, look at her high nose ......"
"Why is the sissy in the liberal arts class next door more and more like a girl? Did you go to Buddha for surgery during the summer vacation? ”
"Who is that handsome tall royal sister? It's so stylish!!! ”
Si Chenxin and the others didn't know if they heard everyone's gossip, but they all had indifferent expressions. That's right, Lin π thought: Just as I won't have a verbal dispute with the ignorant original ANPC at this moment.
After everyone arrived, everyone started playing. The girls saw the go-kart and felt so cute that they rushed to change their clothes and put on their helmets to start the race, who would have thought that the car was not as easy to drive as it looked, and it didn't take long for the other girls to lose except for Qiao Sasa.
Lin π Ke and the boys came to the archery hall and started shooting. Because Wang Beiling and Pirot are sports students, their grades are naturally much better than Shi Zhe, Tang Han and Lou Wanyan, who can't even pull a bow. Just when Wang Beiling and Pirot were triumphant, Lin π Ke made a move, and the arrows were not missing, and Lin π Ke, who hit the bull's-eye with every arrow, made them almost angry.
"You kid organized the party just to show us, didn't you?" As a friend who grew up in the same community as Lin π, Lou Wanyan naturally spoke more politely than others: "Don't be better than what we haven't played, better than everyone else!" ”
"Then whatever you say!" Lin π Ke is in a posture of giving up who else is.
Wang Beiling came over and pinched Lin π ke's tendon meat, which was more developed than before, and hurriedly played a round and said: "A few of us are sports students, and we don't compare sports with others, why don't we go there to play board games?" ”
Board games are not difficult for Lin π, in fact, most board games do not have much logical reasoning at all, but now Lin π is not only smarter, but also has more sensitive senses in his body.
In the end, Tang Han, who was embarrassed by the loss, released his biggest move: "Do you dare to compete with me in Go?" ”
In the face of the original ANPC, Lin π had no reason to be afraid, and sure enough, at the time of a cup of tea, Tang Han showed an obvious decline.
Facing Lin π Ke's chess piece that completely eliminated him and reversed his defeat, Tang Han sat silently and pondered for at least five minutes, and finally arched Lin π Ke's hand and said, "Convincing!" ”
"What do you eat to be so smart?" Pirot looked incredulous.
Lin π smiled mysteriously: "If you enter our game company and stay with smart people, you will naturally be smart." ”
A few boys got up to meet the girls, but saw the girls sitting around Qiao Sassa on the edge of the go-kart track, and Qiao Sassa pointed out the country in the middle and scolded Fang Sass. Lin π couldn't help but sigh that she was unreasonable and clingy when she was with boys, and when she got to the girls, Qiao Sassa was actually full of boyfriend power and idol charm.
Wen Di in the crowd gave Lin π a look, and Lin π followed her to a secluded place.
Wen Di twisted a delicate little face in the direction of Qiao Sasa, and said with adoration in his eyes: "Qiao Sasa is really good at fooling, in less than half an hour, these girls all want to join Shi Qingyue's game company!" ”
As soon as Lin π Ke saw that it was almost time to eat, he asked Wendi to go to dinner for everyone.
During the banquet, several boys took the initiative to mention the matter of the Silver Core Shining Star Game Company, and Lin π Ke modestly pretended. In the end, the boys and girls all said that they wanted to talk to Shi Qingyue very much.
Lin π took the opportunity to say: "Qiao Sasa has a party tomorrow night, Shi Qingyue will come, why don't you come too?" By the way, I also met friends who knew Qiao Sasa. ”
The next day, Qiao Sassa really organized a party and invited her friends at school, because she usually didn't like to play with girls, so all the boys she invited were there. Although Qiao Sassa was reluctant to say more, Lin π Ke still saw that these boys were somewhat interesting to her, but she had a boyfriend after all, so she occasionally played together under the banner of buddies.
Most of Qiao Sasa's friends have a few spare money at home, and the restaurant where the party is very high-end, frankly speaking, Lin π Ke has never been to such an occasion before, and he looked at Shi Qingyue in his heart - Shi Qingyue is very calm, after all, the world that his parents have brought him to see is much bigger than what Lin π Ke has seen.
Lin π Ke is a clever person, and now his intelligence is higher than that of ordinary NPCs, and he doesn't know what wine to match with what dishes, he listened to the wine and dishes ordered by Qiao Sassa and Shi Qingyue during the banquet, and deduced what kind of combination was reasonable, so he ordered the dishes very skillfully. But the classmates he brought didn't have this ability, especially Bu Mengxian and Bu Mengjun, a pair of well-behaved sisters who were kept in a dual-income family, and they couldn't understand the menu.
During the dinner, one of them helped them order food with satisfaction, and did not forget to show off their familiarity with the major wineries and foie gras production areas. After the aperitif and appetizers were served, the gentleman boasted about borrowing the mobile game company opened by his father.
"Yo! Such a coincidence? Lin π Ke said with a look of surprise: "We have also made a game company, come on, let me introduce, this is our company's CEO Shi Qingyue, may I ask your name?" ”
She was embarrassed with a puzzled face, wiped her mouth and said, "My name is Shen Wuchu...... You guys...... What game was made? ”
Lin π Keda haha said: "We are still in the initial stage......
Shi Qingyue took out his mobile phone unhurriedly: "But I just launched a mobile game a few days ago, and now there are more than 10,000 downloads." ”
Lin π Ke took a look at it, and the brain that opened the hanging was to crush ordinary people, and Shi Qingyue really made a mobile game in his busy schedule.
Qiao Sasa's hipster boyfriend Xu Qianqian said: "Although I don't know much about this, but it's only been a few days, this amount of installation is very good!" ”
Within a few minutes, everyone present was curious to download the game.
Lin π Ke also installed a game and found it easy to play and interesting.
When the main course was served, most of the people at the table were still poking at the screen of their mobile phones and couldn't hold their hands. Seeing this, the waiter's face was a little ugly.
Lin π apologized in a whisper and said that he was embarrassed, and that he had developed a new game that was too fun.
The restaurant manager heard the movement here and came to check, and when he heard this, he also got into the game.
"Not bad, not bad!" The manager complimented: "Young people have a bright future!" ”
After the manager left, Qiao Sasa and Lin π Ke's two groups of friends expressed their interest in the game company and hoped to visit. Later, the two gatherings of Si Chenxin and Wendi were also similar forms of operation. Lin π Ke and the reservists finalized a visit to the game company two days later.
After a busy week, Lin π decided to take a little trim at home before taking someone on a tour of the company. At noon that day, he went out for breakfast after a lazy night's sleep, and when he lazily passed by the flower shop at the door, he bumped into Dina, who had not been seen for a long time.
"I heard...... Have you come to me? Dina knocked on Lin π's head: "I can't see that you still miss me!" ”
Lin π Ke said a little embarrassed: "That time I passed by the door and looked into the store......"
"Shy?" Dina tilted her head, her eyes flickered, and there was a snicker in her expression that couldn't be hidden: "When I'm not there, you think I can send me a message." ”
Dina got closer and closer to Lin π, and loyally passed by with her fluffy body between the two.
Lin π retorted: "You haven't sent me any more messages these days?" ”
Dina sneered: "I didn't expect that the girl would take the initiative...... You look so handsome, but your personality is so cowardly! ”
Lin π Ke listened to her more and more unbeatable, and felt that his face was warm and heartbeat was very uncomfortable, so he said directly: "I'm so hungry, I'm going to eat, let's talk another day." ”
Lin π led his dog to a rice noodle shop quickly, because he missed the breakfast peak, so there were not many people in the store.
Lin π Ke ordered a bowl of beef rice noodles and was about to eat it, but saw Dina sitting directly opposite.
"Why are you following me?" Lin π, who was so frightened that he almost knocked over the bowl, was a little angry.
"I'm here to eat rice noodles too!" Dina looked at the rice noodle shop owner with exaggerated acting skills: "I don't believe you ask him, I often come to eat rice noodles." ”
The boss glanced at Lin π Ke with a helpless expression pretending to be deaf and dumb, and then quickly slipped into the kitchen.
Dina took out a dog bone bite gum and handed it to the passerby, stroked the hair on its head and said, "Your brother eats beef alone, and he won't even give you a bone to gnaw, come, my sister brought you a bone." ”
Passing by took the bone in a daze, and lay on the ground, neither refusing nor gnawing.
Lin π thought it was funny, Dina seemed to have no control over the world like an NPC. He carefully flipped through her profile and saw that her level was "Dwarf Planet", thinking that it was a relatively low level, if it wasn't for being stupid, she might be a novice.
Seeing that she was not a master, Lin π Ke was a lot more relieved and began to eat rice noodles.
Dina didn't order breakfast either, just looked at Lin π with bulging cheeks. Lin π thought to himself: No wonder the people I occasionally see on the street are generally female players, probably because there are always female players who play this otome game as an otome game when it was not designed, and male players rarely haunt it if they don't think it's fun, right?
However, Lin π warned himself: Although Dina seems innocent, she is a player after all, and I can't be attacked by her......
"π grams, you know what? You're a lucky man! Dina said, "You have a soul, unlike those who walk outside today and then die and disappear." ”
Lin π turned his head to look out the door, and the few people passing by were indeed ANPC. When Dina says whether there is a soul or not, he probably refers to whether the brain data will be saved after death in the game world.
"What are you talking nonsense?" Lin π Ke said humbly, and at the same time a little emotional, novice players are good, unlike their mother, now that they recall it, she has never revealed a trace of tone.
When I was thinking about it, my father suddenly called: "You go home soon, Mom is back early." ”
Lin π Ke hurriedly put down his chopsticks and said goodbye to Dina.
Dinasse gave him a business card and said, "I have a branch on the outskirts of the city, remember to come and see!" ”
Lin π Ke took the business card and hurriedly left with a passer. Lin π Ke was in a hurry not to go to his own house, but to Lu Haoyue's house - he was afraid that there would be surveillance on his body when he passed by, and the meeting with his mother seemed to Lin π Ke to be an incident that needed to be kept secret from Yun Mengze; Second, I was afraid that my mother would find out that the passing by was different from before, so Lin π Ke wanted to temporarily foster the passing by at Lu Haoyue's house.
He said that it was inconvenient for Lu Haoyue to explain, so Lu Haoyue accepted the passing by very understandingly and didn't ask more.
"Leave it to me, and you can rest assured." Lu Haoyue said calmly: "I can do this." ”
When Lin π Ke got home, as soon as he opened the door, he heard his mother and father discussing passing by.
Dad said, "I got lost a few days ago, but π has already found him." ”
When his mother saw that Lin π Ke didn't bring a dog after entering the door, she asked him anxiously, "Passing by?" ”
Lin π Ke was very panicked when he heard her ask about passing by, but he had to deal with it calmly: "I was taking a bath in the pet store, and my father said that you just came back, I miss you very much, so I came back first." ”
Mom stood up decisively and said, "Then let's go and get it back!" ”
Lin π didn't know that the plot could turn like this, and after panicking for two seconds, he felt that he could only pretend to be fragile in this scene, he made a hurt expression and yelled at his mother: "I can't stay at home for a few days all year round, and I ask the dog as soon as I get home, and I never care about me!" ”
After saying that, his eyes burst into tears, and he ran to the bedroom, slammed the door and locked it, and then stuffed himself into the bed.
Dad knocked on the door: "π Ke, you hurry up and apologize, you should let Mom, you are a boy!" ”
Lin π was stuffy in the quilt and didn't squeak, his heart was beating faster with nervousness, he had always been sensible, and he had never blushed with his parents since he could remember.
Lin π Ke suddenly heard a noise in the window, and saw that it was his mother stepping on the air conditioner from the balcony of the study and climbing into the bedroom through his window.
Mom ran over and hugged him through the quilt and said, "Don't be sad, I just cared about you and came back to see you in advance!" ”
Lin π Ke saw his mother risking her life and came in through the window to coax him, she was suddenly moved, hugged her mother and really cried. But after crying for a while, he thought that the player's life must not be so easy to die, what is it to open the window, don't be moved by her blindness.
Mom looked at him seriously and said, "π Ke, you go and bring the passing by back, I am for your good, you have to believe Mom...... Mom knows everything, really. ”
Hearing her mother say this, Lin π Ke suddenly remembered to look at her profile, she was really a player, a red superstar, and she literally looked powerful.
Mom took a tissue to wipe away Lin π's tears, and then said: "I have lived in this world for so long, some actions are involuntary, and some things are inconvenient to tell you, but I understand psychologically, and I can see it better than you." You are obedient, go and bring back the passerby, Mom is going to let it protect you! Trust Mom! ”
Although Lin π Ke is still a little angry with his mother, he inexplicably feels that his mother is a trustworthy person, at least more credible than Yun Mengze.
Lin π Ke finally brought the passer back from Lu Haoyue's house.
Mom walked by into the study. Lin π Ke and his father were sitting in the living room, Lin π Ke suddenly became curious, he turned his head and asked his father: "Why can you put up with a wife who is not at home all the year round?" ”
"What words? What does it mean to endure? Dad smirked happily and said, "It's a blessing to marry a fairy." ”
Mother came out of the study with a passerby, she kissed π passing, kissed her father, hugged Lin Ke, and said to them: "I have something to go, you have to be obedient!" ”
As soon as the mother opened the door of the house, she turned back to Lin π and said: "You are my son, you must believe that I love you at all times, and you must also believe in my ability to solve things, I will come back if you are in danger." ”
Lin π nodded ignorantly, watching his mother disappear outside the door.
