Chapter 4: Talk Anything

Wang Lin's university major is Computer Science and Technology.

After graduating, he worked for a few months at a small game company, and finally chose to leave a week ago.

He left his job not because he was not qualified for his position, but simply because his personal philosophy was not in line with the company's philosophy.

Of course, this is just the official rhetoric.

To put it bluntly, in fact, he is young and vigorous, unwilling to be mediocre, and wants to make something of his own.

- He wants to be an indie game producer.

Generally speaking, young people with such an "impetuous" mentality will be crushed by the cruel reality when they step into society.

But Lin Wang felt that his mentality had always been very stable.

He only gave himself two months.

If he can't achieve anything after two months, he will temporarily put aside this dream and continue to be a mediocre person.

"The world view and the main line have been basically determined, and the next step is to improve the various details and branch plots......

Lin Wang woke up the computer and began to write the plot in the document.

Due to time and technology constraints, he originally planned to make a text AVG (text adventure game) first.

However, considering that this kind of game has high requirements for plot, text, dialogue, etc., and has very low technical requirements, it basically cannot achieve the effect of novices accumulating production experience, and he was finally thrown aside.

Unable to make a text AVG, he turned his attention to traditional RPGs (role-playing games), to be precise, horror puzzle RPGs.

Although this kind of game also needs the support of a wonderful plot, and the technical requirements are not high, at least it can really exercise the producer's ability to design and produce in all directions of the game, rather than simply exercising the maker's ability to tell a story.

As a newbie, of course, you have to start with a simple and suitable direction.

Time passes slowly.

Lin Wang unconsciously immersed himself in the game world he conceived, the action of tapping on the keyboard became faster and faster, but his self-consciousness became more and more blurred, and he even had a vague illusion of not being able to distinguish between reality and fantasy.

At one point, he suddenly felt the words on the screen shake twice.

- It is not a mechanical movement, but a humanized "beating".

It's like being alive!

Lin Wang was agitated and instantly sobered up.

What's the situation?

Computer poisoned?

He rubbed his eyes and rechecked the text in the document, but found nothing.

'Am I too tired?' ’

He frowned, his gaze darting from the branch plot he had just written, back to the bottom.

He was going to try it again, as he had when he first discovered the anomaly.

'Hope is just a meaningless illusion, not something is wrong with my brain......

Lin Wang muttered in his heart, slowly reining in his thoughts and concentrating his attention.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of something wrong.

- The branch plot he just swept with his afterglow...... Seems a little strange?

He paused for a moment, thinking as he shifted his gaze back to the words above.

["Lin" pulled out the "Call of the Wild" on the second floor of the bookcase, and a strange sound suddenly came from the wall next to her, and a crack slowly opened on the old wall......]

Lin Wang finished reading this text with a stiff expression, was silent for a moment, and then pushed away the keyboard and sat back on the edge of the bed in a trance.

The branching plot has really changed!

In his original plot design, after the heroine "Lin" pulled out "Call of the Wild", the lights in the room suddenly flickered twice, and then the bookshelf made a soft sound, and a triangular wooden block with a strange pattern fell out.

So......

What the hell is a crack in the wall?

He had never had such an idea or design at all!

This simply can't be what he wrote!

'It's not enough to have a magical girl, and you're starting to give me supernatural events again, right?' ’

Lin Wang decisively picked up his mobile phone, got up and walked to the bedroom door, and sent a message to Tang Xiaomian.

Lin Wang: I encountered a supernatural event.

After sending the message, he looked up at the computer, thought for two seconds, decisively picked up the quilt on the bed, turned around and ran into the living room.

He's going to spend the night on the couch tonight.

As soon as he put the quilt down, he received a message on his phone.

Magical Cotton: What's the matter?

Lin Wang looked at the news, and then looked at the 2:14 displayed at the top of the screen, thinking about the supernatural event that had just happened, he was stunned for a while, and he still couldn't help but send a message to ask.

Lin Wang: Why haven't you slept yet?

Magical Cotton: [Eats Hands]

Magic Xiaomian: I'm already asleep, but I turned on the message tone, and woke up when I heard the sound.

I woke up when I heard the message...... This sleep quality is probably the same as none, right?

Lin Wang: I'm sorry......

Magical Cotton: It's okay, it's my problem, it's none of your business.

Magical Cotton: Let's talk about the supernatural events you encountered.

Lin Wang: Okay.

He glanced at the bedroom with the door closed, and his mind was much calmer than before.

With the "Magical Girl" crossing as a foreshadowing, this little abnormality at the moment is not enough to make him panic.

It's just that the text has changed, and it's not a Sadako that came out of the screen, so what's there to be afraid of?

Taking a step back, even if a sadako is really drilled, as long as she is bold enough, the female ghost can ......

Ahem, anyway, it's just a small scene.

Lin Wang briefly recounted what had just happened in a voice message, and at the same time calmly expressed his worries.

Lin Wang: I bought this computer newly, and it's a bit expensive......

Magic Cotton: I'll go check it out.

Lin Wang: Okay, then let's make an appointment. When are you available?

Magical Cotton: Now.

Magical Cotton: Wait for me for ten minutes.

Lin Wang: [in a daze]

This girl...... It seems a little sassy!

Originally, he just wanted the other party to find a time to come over tomorrow to have a look, and he didn't expect to solve the problem right away.

Now in the middle of the night, I came to the door twice in a row......

If you don't take the opportunity to do something, it's a bit too much, right?

Magic Xiaomian: Do you want to start a voice call?

Lin Wang: Huh?

Magical Cotton: I'd like to confirm your current status.

Lin Wang: ......

Lin Wang: Okay.

'How can anyone be more worried about my own safety than I am......

He muttered something quietly, then couldn't help but purse his lips and smile.

Connected to the language phone, Tang Xiaomian's soft voice came out of the receiver of the mobile phone.

"Hey, are you there, can you hear me?"

"Yes, yes, I'm safe now, just take your time." Lin Wang responded with a smile.

"Well, let's talk about something and keep talking." Tang Xiaomian heard the sound of squirming and dressing.

"Let's talk about something......"

Lin Wang thought for a while when he heard this, and then turned his gaze to the direction of the kitchen, "Then what do you usually like to eat?" ”

“……”

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and it took a long time for the girl's weak voice to come out, "Take out the braised pork rice." ”
