Chapter 15: The Magic of 2048

At night.

In a university dormitory.

Xiao Li worked hard to write a book, wrote a paper for more than an hour, felt that his arm was very sore, and planned to play a small game to relax.

Open the QQ group of "Mini Game Lovers Alliance", and the messages are scrolling frequently.

"The ranking of "2048", why did it fall to 1,000 all of a sudden, and what happened?"

"I also found out just now.,It seems that a version has been updated.,The number of clicks has also been cleared.,Bugs are gone.,What's the point of that?,Go to station B to watch the ghost animal video of "2048".。

"Any of you who have cached a version with bugs, give me a copy."

"You're really perverted, haven't you been scolded enough......"

"2048" fell to 1000?

Bug fixed?

Click on the player review page.

"I hope there is a bug version of "2048"! 5Q coins, find me QQ123456XXX, private chat. ”

"You guys play it, it's actually quite interesting, this new version is really fun, it's addictive, I can't stop playing."

"What's the point of not playing, not playing, no bugs, I originally wanted to surprise my table mate, let him pull my braids again! What's new......"

"It's boring, I'm going to play Warcraft 3."

Why don't you play around?

Although it's said that there is no bug.,The ghost knows if it's going to get stuck again.,This time learn a lesson.,Make sure the paper is saved.,Click the button.,Start the game.。

On the 4 by 4 square board, several small squares appear, two of which have the number "2", drag one "2" onto the other "2", and it becomes "4".

That's it? It's that simple?

Dragging one "4" onto another "4" becomes an "8".

The feel, sound effects, and background music all make him very relaxed and comfortable, and he has the feeling of playing checkers with his friends at his grandmother's house when he was a child.

There is no other "8" on the side of the "8", and we need to find a way to make an "8".

It's like that, and it's a bit interesting, but it's too simple, and it's not a challenge.

Xiao Li played for half an hour, and the biggest number has become "512", and the other "512" has been combined for a long time, but it can't be combined.

Well...... It's a bit difficult.

"Haha! Together, 512! ”

When the two "256s" came together, they couldn't help but laugh.

The two buddies in the dormitory couldn't help but come over to see him suddenly smirk.

"What's the meaning of this game, there's not even a picture, it's all numbers."

"Yes, yes, you haven't learned number theory during the day, and you're still studying by yourself at night."

Xiao Li didn't seem to hear them talking, his eyes were focused, and he was immersed in the game "2048".

Minutes and seconds passed.

This game is more than 2 hours, and it is almost half past 10.

"Hahaha, it's finally 1024! Next target 2048! ”

When the two "512" merged together to become "1024", he felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment.

In the dormitory, the lights and computers lost their power sources in an instant, and the lights went out.

Outside the dormitory, there was the sound of ghosts crying and howling wolves, hormones that had nowhere to vent.

"Ah, the power is off!!"

At half past 10 o'clock, the power was cut off on time.

"I'm going to go, my 1024 ah!!"

Xiao Li patted the computer desk, so angry that he finally played "1024", and it was gone.

Forget it, wash and sleep, get up tomorrow morning, play "2048" again, and be sure to use the fewest steps to reach the top of the leaderboard.

The next day, Saturday.

Xiao Li got up at six o'clock, nested in the dormitory, and played "2048".

No. 1 on the leaderboard, 3254 steps.

He remembers playing "1024" yesterday with more than 900 moves.

He usually plays games and does not admit defeat, so he decided that he must rush to the top of the list today.

According to his idea, "1024" has more than 900 steps, and the synthesis to "2048" 2000 steps should be enough.

"Hey, let's go to the Internet café to play Warcraft." Even though everyone has a computer, I still like to go to an Internet café on the weekends, where the atmosphere is completely different.

"Don't go, don't go, you guys play."

A few roommates looked at him like a monster, and he usually played "Warcraft" on weekends, and he danced more happily than anyone else, why didn't he suddenly want to go?

What is he playing?

A roommate walked in and saw that Xiao Li was still playing the number game from yesterday, and his heart collapsed, this guy, when did he become so concerned about mathematics, is this still the scumbag, who scored more than 50 points in the mathematics test......

"Let's go, what's the point, Warcraft isn't more fun than this?"

"You don't understand, you can play by yourself, don't worry about me."

When Xiao Li spoke, his eyes never took off the screen, and he looked impatient.

The roommates felt that it was boring to call him again, and several people left the dormitory with a smile.

It took Xiao Li more than 2 hours to finally synthesize "1024" again, which was shorter than yesterday, and the steps used were fewer, only more than 700 steps.

He is very satisfied, his own operation, isn't the first place in the ranking more than 3,000 steps?

It's easy!

For the next few hours, it's one hell of a gaming experience.

"Ouch, why is it blocked again, how the hell is this going to fit......"

There was already a "1024", and then a "1024" was synthesized, and it was done.

As a result, let alone "512", even "256" can't be combined, and there are always other numbers, blocking on the side.

Soon it was time for lunch, and there were still a few ham sausages and braised eggs in the drawer, and he opened the bag and coped with a few bites.

I don't believe in this evil yet, and I must merge "2048!!

Before he knew it, hours had passed, and when it was time for dinner, his stomach was so hungry that he was "gurgling" and seriously protesting against the neglect of his master.

Xiao Li's face was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was still moving the numbers.

Finally, two "1024s" appeared on the screen!

Drag two "1024s" together, the feeling of being together is unprecedented!! It's so cool!!

It's like a person who speculates on stocks, holding a full position on one stock, and the price limit for three consecutive days!

I feel like my life has reached the peak in an instant!

“2048! 2048! ”

"Hahaha!! I've won! I've finally cleared the level! ”

It took a total of 12,542 steps, not to mention the first place in the rankings, and I didn't even touch the tail of the top ten.

It's okay, a little trick has been played.

One more time!

Xiao Li called his roommate and asked them to help him bring back a pancake fruit.

Then he rubbed his eyes and embarked on the journey of "2048" again.
