Chapter 16: Not optimistic

After sending Tang Xiaomian back to Lin Chaochao's residence, Lin Wang returned home and continued to prepare game materials.

If you want to make a game in a short period of time, it is obviously unrealistic to have purely original materials.

There are many "free" game resource websites on the Internet, all kinds of 2D materials, source code, sound effects, music, etc., and you can always find some suitable ones if you look through them carefully.

Although most of these materials require a fee, the price is equivalent to the price of a meal for the average person, and those who want to make indie games are basically not bad for this amount of money.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Lin Wang unexpectedly received a WeChat message from Xiao Li Weiqing.

The other party is from the same computer background as him, and now he is doing operation and maintenance in a small Internet company in the same city, and his work on weekdays is not busy, and he is basically worried about trivial things, and he rarely works overtime, which is much more leisurely than before.

After work, the two of them see each other only a handful of times, basically contact online to play games for a few days, rest for a few days, and then continue to play games for a few days and rest for a few days...... Intermittently, but never tired.

Li Weiqing: Invite me to dinner.

Very simple and crude message, and I didn't even bother to bring an expression with one.

Lin Wang was accustomed to it, and directly replied with a "life has nothing to love" expression.

Li Weiqing: Don't make excuses, it's only natural to invite my brother to dinner.

Li Weiqing: [Justified]

Lin Wang: When?

Li Weiqing: I'll go to you tomorrow morning, and I want to eat barbecue in the evening.

Lin Wang: What about the daytime?

Li Weiqing: Playing games, we haven't rubbed the hearthstone together for a long time, and our hands are a little itchy.

Lin Wang: Okay, but don't be too early, or no one will open the door for you.

Li Weiqing: You think too highly of me......

At the end of the exchange, Lin Wang put away his mobile phone with a smile, went to the kitchen to warm up the lunch box that Tang Xiaomian bought for him, and returned to the bedroom to eat while continuing to search for materials on the Internet.

The originally boring life of leaving the job and starting a business seems to have become interesting unconsciously.

To put it another way, is this considered to have been disturbed by an accident?

……

The next morning.

Lin Wang woke up from his slumber and immediately got up and looked at his phone.

Sunday morning at 10:05 a.m.

For most adults, this is not too late to wake up.

Lin Wang estimated that Li Weiqing should have just gotten up and gone out now, and it would take at least half an hour to get to his house by subway, and he had time to dress, wash and eat breakfast.

Thinking of this, he lay down again and swiped his fingers on the screen of his phone.

There is also an unread WeChat message on the standby interface. The message came from Tang Xiaomian and was sent at half past seven in the morning.

Magic Xiaomian: Are you up, do you want to save a breakfast for you?

Lin Wang sobered up a little and clicked on the input box to reply to the message.

Lin Wang: When you woke up, what breakfast do you have in your store?

After waiting for a while, the opposite side replied to the message.

Magic Cotton: You're too good at sleeping, aren't you?

Magical Cotton: It's almost lunch now, and there's breakfast somewhere.

Lin Wang: Can't you use your position to help me keep a copy?

Magical Xiaomian: You haven't replied to the message, I thought you didn't need it, who knew you woke up so late.

Xiao Mian, who can do magic: If you want to eat in the future, go to bed early and get up early, make a habit, and I will help you save until nine o'clock at most.

Seeing this news, Lin Wang hesitated for a moment, and finally only replied "Okay".

With last night's experience, he always felt that something seemed to be wrong with the current state of the two of them.

Well...... In fact, since pretending to be a couple, the strange atmosphere has been spreading silently between the two.

They may all know about it, but none of them want to talk about it.

After continuing to lie on the bed for ten minutes, Lin Wang reluctantly put down his mobile phone, got up, dressed and washed, and went to the kitchen to eat the cold noodles left over from last night for breakfast.

At 10:40 a.m., Li Weiqing rang the doorbell of his house.

Lin Wang held a cup of hot milk in his hand and stepped forward to open the door.

"I'm freezing to death, why don't you turn on the air conditioner?"

"Who will turn on the air conditioner in the living room in the morning, if it's cold, go straight to the bedroom and stay."

"Tsk, there are still a few pairs of slippers, and you can tell that you don't have a girlfriend at a glance."

Li Weiqing muttered in his mouth, taking off his shoes, and handing over the things in his hand, "Well, the meat buns I just bought for you downstairs, if you haven't eaten breakfast, eat them while they're hot." ”

"At this time, you should bring lunch with you."

Lin Wang took the bun and saw him reach out to take the gray cotton slippers that Tang Xiaomian had worn, and hurriedly stopped him, "Don't take that gray pair, wear the black one." ”

"What?" Li Weiqing paused and looked at him puzzled.

"The gray pair was worn yesterday." Lin Wang calmly took a sip of hot milk.

"Got a guest at home?"

"Well, a pretty girl."

"Hey, you're a liar!"

Li Weiqing didn't believe this nonsense at all, pursed his lips, changed into black slippers, and walked into the living room, "The glass of milk on the dining table is for me?" ”

"I don't have any other hot drinks at home, so I can only hot milk, and if you want to drink hot water, you can do it, I'll go boil it now." Lin Wang put the gray cotton slippers in the corner, so that they could no longer be easily reached by the guests.

"Forget it, there's no need." Li Weiqing waved his hand, picked up the hot milk on the table, and took a sip like coffee.

The relationship between the two for more than ten years has long become a habit in some daily life, and they don't need to care too much about the superficial form.

"What to eat at noon, go downstairs and choose a random one or just order takeout?" Lin Wang asked.

"Of course I order takeout, I'll have a treat." Li Weiqing showed an expression of "you have taken a big advantage".

"Then I'm going to try the stuff I didn't dare order before." Lin Wang smiled.

"I'll talk about it later, my feet are numb, go to the bedroom and sit for a while." Li Weiqing walked into the bedroom with milk.

Lin Wang took out a small bun from the paper bag and stuffed it into his mouth, turned around to keep up with the other party's footsteps, and closed the door.

Other people go out to dinner, drink and play when they meet, but the two of them like to stay at home and eat takeout and play games.

With such a strange way of getting along, I don't know who influences whom.

"How's your game doing?" Li Weiqing turned on the computer and turned his head to ask.

"I'm still looking for materials, and I should be able to officially start doing it in two days."

"Your parents don't know yet?"

"Well, I'll tell them when I'm home in a while."

"You're ......"

Li Weiqing looked at him and couldn't help but sigh, "Can't you do it while going to work, do you have to resign directly?" ”

"I'm not happy to do it, I'll have to resign sooner or later, I'm just stopping the loss in time."

Lin Wang finished eating the buns and took another sip of milk, "Anyway, I only gave myself two months, if it doesn't work, I'll go to work after the New Year." ”

"Well, then I wish you success."

"You're not optimistic?"

"To be honest, it's quite unfavorable."

Li Weiqing shook his head, "People who can make high-quality independent games are either geniuses, or veterans who have worked in big factories and have rich experience......

He paused and looked up at Lin Wang, "Do you think this is reliable?" ”

"I think it's okay, after all, I'm also a half-genius." Lin Wang said with a smile.

“……”

The corners of Li Weiqing's mouth twitched, snorted lightly, and turned his gaze back to the computer screen, "You weigh it yourself, when you have to go back to work, tell me, and I will also help you find a suitable place." ”
