22 After the news

"Na! Ji Feng, the game of "Pixel Bird", which has been very popular on mobile phones recently, did you do it right?

As soon as I saw the Chiba City sophomore high school student Ji Feng mentioned on the news, I knew that it must be you, and such a strange combination of surname and first name may not be found in the whole country. ”

"Yes, Ji Feng, Haoping showed me the news, and I also think that what it said must be you. I didn't expect you to be able to make your own game, it's amazing. ”

On the morning of June 1, Hime Feng and Yuki, who had already moved into their new home last weekend, had just arrived at the door of the class, and Kohei Akagi and Kyosuke Takasaka, who were standing next to his seat, immediately loudly revealed the secret that he did not want to hide.

And the other students in the class seem to know the secret through the news, but their relationship with Ji Feng is not as close as that of Akagi, Takasaka, and Tamura, so everyone just up their ears and quietly eavesdrops on their conversation for the time being—in fact, they are forced to hear without actively eavesdropping.

"It's just a simple little game, the only valuable thing is the idea, and there is no technical difficulty."

In front of everyone, although Ji Feng did not directly admit that he was the author of "Pixel Bird", his generous modesty had unmistakably confirmed Akagi and Takasaka's speculation, so the eyes of the classmates suddenly became eager.

It's just that Ji Feng has no intention of taking advantage of this opportunity to have a good relationship with others, all he has to do is the prestige of Kyosuke Takasaka, and through an interview with a local TV station, Kyosuke Takasaka knows that he is the author of "Pixel Bird", just to increase the weight of his words in Kyosuke Takasaka, otherwise he won't add trouble to himself in school at all - anyway, he doesn't want to rely on this reputation to make a girl in school.

"Hah...... That 'Holy Black Cat Knights' Fifth Watch Ji Feng is really you! Anyway, it's pretty good to be able to make a game, not to mention the fact that it's a huge hit...... It's a pity that this game is completely free, and even if one person only charges 100 yen, it is quite a fortune for students! ”

After confirming that Ji Feng was indeed the author of "Pixel Bird", Kohei Akagi's face immediately showed an expression of honor, but the friendship between him and Ji Feng was actually only a little stronger than a nodding friend.

And Kyosuke, who knows Ji Feng's genius mind better, is not only honored to have such a capable friend, but also has a little more heartfelt admiration in his eyes than Akagi.

Kyosuke, who often receives Ji Feng's guidance on his homework, doesn't think that this friend who is ridiculously good at studying only occasionally has an idea to make such a simple game that seems to be able to be done by anyone, but everyone didn't expect it.

Even if he really just happened to come up with such a good idea, he had to have a certain level of programming to be able to turn the idea into reality, and 99.99% of high school students couldn't do this step, otherwise there would not be only a few high school students or elementary and middle school students who were reported in the news because they had developed some software.

"Speaking of which, the news that Haohei showed me also mentioned that you plan to be in Co...... Comi is there to release a new game, and what is that Co or something? ”

"Huh? You don't even know Comiket? Are you really a Chiba person? ”

As he spoke, Kyosuke naturally mentioned another rumor that Ji Feng revealed through this interview. However, before Ji Feng could answer, Akagi, who had a rotten sister, preemptively explained the significance of the word Comiket to Kyosuke:

"Comiket is the abbreviation of Comic~Market, or CM for short, and it is the world's largest 'doujinshi instant sale', which is held twice a year in summer and winter, and is called 'holy war' among otaku.

It's now held at the Big Sight Center in Tokyo, but it's also held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba for a few years, so as a Chiba person, you should at least know what Comiket is! ”

"Uh...... I'm sorry, but although I occasionally read manga magazines, otaku still seem to be far away.

My dad was very strict in this regard, there was no TV or game console in my room, let alone a computer, and he would definitely not pay me to sell me that kind of machine that was basically just for play—unless I could learn to code like Ji Feng, or work my own way to make money. ”

Facing Akagi's pretended reproachful eyes, Kyosuke just shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and didn't take the "bean knowledge" that this exam would not take seriously at all.

Because of his father's strict discipline, Kyosuke has indeed become a good boy who doesn't care if he doesn't watch anime or play games, but after a week, he will find that otaku are not far from him at all, and he will gradually degenerate later...... No, it's the gradual awakening of one's true attributes.

If the story in reality unfolds according to the timeline in the anime, then this key point in time will be June 8th, although Ji Feng has also thought about what would happen if the accident of the brother and sister collided because of an accident, or simply because he pinched the time to call Kyosuke, so Kyosuke missed the fate-changing accident, but he was not so curious that he had to take the initiative to die.

If that accident really didn't happen because of some kind of butterfly effect caused by himself, Ji Feng would really start to have a headache. Fortunately, there is no time limit for his mission this time, and even if there is a situation that he least wants to see, this task of helping the Takasaka brothers and sisters finally become lovers is not completely lost from the possibility of completion.

"That...... Five watchmen...... Sorry ......"

Ji Feng was chatting happily with Akagi and Kyosuke here, and Kyosuke's childhood sweetheart Manami Tamura actually rubbed over with a shy face, causing Ji Feng to almost mistakenly think that she was going to confess to herself in public or something.

But when Ji Feng turned his face to look at her, Ma Nashi turned his head to look at the small circle of girls on the other side of the classroom with a slightly red face, and then said to him with an embarrassed smile:

"That...... I'm sorry, but I'm also entrusted......

I heard that you are the author of that little bird's mobile game, and I have a few friends who seem to want to invite them to sing karaoke or something, and of course they also invited Xiaojing, Akagi-kun, and Gojo-san, but mainly ......"

"Oh, oh! It's coming, it's coming, it's coming ”

"No...... Sorry, I don't have time to go, my next game is scheduled to be released on Summer Comi, so the production has to be rushed.

Just reply to them like this. ”

Before Kohei Akagi could say a few words, Ji Feng had already categorically rejected the invitation of the girls in the same class. Manami, who breathed a sigh of relief, brought his original words with him, and the girls who might just be curious about him naturally stopped pestering him with interest.

In the final analysis, what Ji Feng made was just a free game, and no matter how popular he was, he wouldn't make a penny. And his next game...... Who can guarantee that his next game will be just as "lucky"?
