Although the friendship between the three has lasted for the sixth year, it is the first time that they have spent the night together like this, and although it is a whim, Xia Yuan has made a lot of preparations.

She scavenged most of the snacks in the house, as well as several sets of pajamas.

"Your mom and dad should only let you stay for one night, why do you bring so many clothes?"

"I'll give you clothes, and I want you to take care of them."

Xia Yuan glanced at Mei Fang, and then pulled Lin Youxi to the back room, "We are sleeping in Aunt Mei and Xiaoya's room tonight, right?" ”

"Yes. But do you have to change your clothes so early? It's afternoon. ”

"Why, just put things down!"

Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi tinkered in Mei Fang's mother's room for a while and didn't come out, and Mei Fang was inconvenient to knock on the door and ask, so after thinking about it, he went to the study to see the finished game he made.

Since the beginning of winter vacation, the game he has been tinkering with is "Flappy Bird" in his previous life, which is also known as "Stupid Bird Flies First".

This kind of game that controls the ascent height to get over up and down obstacles is similar to many games back in the Symbian button machine era, such as "Helicopter".

In Mei Fang's view, the earliest inspiration for this kind of game should come from the side-scrolling shooter game of the FC era, in the famous Coleme Four Heavenly Kings "Salloman Snake", there is an obstacle dodge level like this, it is not a game like Super Horsepower that will be stuck when it touches an obstacle, but crashes and dies.

In '08, Unity was just getting to support the Windows platform, and it was two years away from the smartphone Android.

Mei Fang wants to accumulate technical experience in developing a complete game first, so that he can get his own piece of the pie on the mobile platform as soon as possible.

Now, except for the configuration of art resources, the functions of the program are almost the same......

However, playing on Windows doesn't seem to be the same as those "Helicopters" of the Race Liner, except that the graphics are smoother and smoother.

If you really want to make a fire, the experience of cleaning glass on a touchscreen smartphone is still essential......

"Fang, are you playing a game?"

Xia Yuan didn't knock on the door and entered Mei Fang's study.

"What are you closing on this hot day? I'll take a look at ......"

Xia Yuan stared at Mei Fang's screen for a while, "What is this, is it the code you studied, they are all rectangular squares, I can't understand ......"

At this time, Lin Youxi also walked quickly to Mei Fang's side.

"Can you run already?"

"Would you like to do it?"

"I'll try."

Mei Fang gave way to Lin Youxi, and after she sat down, she began to operate seriously, "I kept jumping bugs when compiling before, did you help me solve it?" ”

"That bug is hard to find."

Xia Yuan listened to Mei Fang and Lin Youxi say things that he didn't understand, and he felt a little unable to fit in.

"Is this the last game you've been working on together? It's all regular geometric shapes, and it's a bit boring. ”

"This is an art resource that hasn't been implanted yet, and when we find the material to put in, it will be a little more interesting."

Lin Youxi thought for a while, "However, compared to the games on the market, it is definitely not fun." ”

"Indeed." Xia Yuan nodded, "Two people can play games together, you guys are still amazing!" ”

Mei Fang just took advantage of the time to deal with some other affairs, it was rare for fate to be so interested, and Mei Fang was not a person who did not understand the amorous feelings, so after Lin Youxi left the game, he quickly saved the program and turned it off.

"So, what are we going to do in the afternoon?"

"Afternoon......"

Xia Yuan raised his hand with a smile and said his thoughts, "I want to rent a plate and watch a movie together!" ”

In 2008, Baimei County, a small county town, still did not have a movie theater, and children who did not have computers at home still relied heavily on video stores, that is, video rental agencies, if they wanted to watch movies.

Although Mei Fang's family has a computer, the screen of the computer is too small, and it is not in the living room, so the look and feel is always not as good as the TV, and there is no way to lean on the sofa and watch while eating.

"However, now the audio-visual street where the saucers are rented is closed." Lin Youxi pondered, "Do you know where to look?" ”

"Hmm...... Go shopping on the streets, you can always find it! ”

"You don't even know where to go."

Mei Fang shook his head, "The small shop next door where I bought Mei Ya Xiaobawang last time rented CDs, and I'll take you there." ”

"Good!"

Mei Fang and his party traveled lightly, walking on the road baked by the scorching sun of midsummer, the sound of cicadas chirping, the hot air could see the fluctuations of the heat wave, the three of them walked along the shaded road, and happened to meet a convenience store, Xia Yuan pulled Mei Fang to prevent him from continuing to go.

"Ah Fang, go buy some ice cream or ice drinks to drink! I'm dying of heat. ”

Xia Yuan stuck out her tongue and shook her hand to fan her face, sweat stuck her sideburns and cheeks together, and her face was red.

"Why do you keep making such exaggerated expressions?" Mei Fang couldn't help but complain.

"Hurry up and buy it, let's go."

The three of them picked it at the convenience store, Xia Yuan was about to pay for it, but Lin Youxi took the lead to pay.

"I'll have it this time."

"Well, you won't have to pay for renting a disc later!"

"No, a treat is just a treat, don't be associated with anything else."

Seeing that there was no embarrassment in Lin Youxi's smile, Xia Yuan also nodded.

"Hmm...... That's a good horn! Next time, I and Ah Fang please go back. ”

Lin Youxi's change came this winter.

She proposed to Mei Fang that she wanted to make money, and Mei Fang pointed out a way for her to level up, and since then, she has made a career out of it in "Fantasy Journey to the West".

Now is the most popular era of "Fantasy Journey to the West", early start-ups like Lin Youxi and Mei Fang, due to a lot of energy investment in the early days, there are a lot of out-of-print babies and out-of-print weapons with overflowing values on their bodies, and whoever comes out will shout the big guy when they see it.

She will go online every weekend to take over the training, a maximum of five yuan per order, and she can earn at least twenty or thirty a week.

Lin Youxi's substitution skills and understanding of some copies are now deeper than Mei Fang's, and he has slowly made a name for himself in this suit.

After starting to make money on her own, Mei Fang could clearly feel that Lin Youxi felt a lot less cringe, and he had some confidence in what he did.

He always remembered the scene when he took Lin Youxi to the cemetery to see her mother, took out three coins from his crumpled pocket, and timidly asked Mei Fang if he had enough to buy apples.

Maybe Lin Youxi's childhood cowardice, Lin Youxi's childhood echo is not as complicated as imagined.

It is all due to the lack of confidence brought about by poverty.

At least, it's noticeably better now.

A group of people drank Coke and ate ice cream, passing through a row of closed streets, and the scene under the bright sun made Mei Fang suddenly feel an inexplicable sense of depression.

In Mei Fang's memory, the small county town of Baimei County has a very interesting side, that is, opening stores and loving to get together.

What is the Internet café street, the boutique street, the bookstore street, the barbecue street, the commissary street.

If there is a deviation in the service, then it is okay, for example, the food street will open stores with different types of food, which is understandable, after all, it is a different track.

But a street in Baimei County is really just a street. Next door, next door next door, next door next door, next door next door, the goods sold are exactly the same, I don't know if it's because I'm worried about the idea being plagiarized, and everyone doesn't come up with any new marketing ideas, just forcibly open a store here, I really don't know what it means to follow the trend.

Once upon a time, the street that Mei Fang is passing through now, these storefronts, are also a prosperous and lively video and video club street, but now they are all in a wave of store closures, but in a short time, this will eventually become a thriving place for milk tea and bookstores.

The great wheel of the times is always moving forward, as if nothing can last forever.

Mei Fang stopped in place, looking at the petite backs of Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan in front of him.

After being in a daze for a while, Mei Yi trotted after Xia Yuan's greeting.
