Although the friendship between the three people has lasted for the sixth year, it was the first time they spent the night together like this. Even though it was a sudden idea, Xia Yuan still made a lot of preparations.

She plundered most of the snacks at home and several sets of pajamas and clothes.

"Your parents should only let you stay for one night. Why bring so many clothes?"

"I gave Youxi something to wear, and I want you to take care of it."

Xia Yuan rolled her eyes at Mei Fang, then took Lin Youxi to the back room, "We'll sleep in Aunt Mei and Xiaoya's room tonight, right?"

"Yes. But do you want to change clothes so early? It's only the afternoon."

"How could that happen? I just put my things down!"

Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi were tinkering in Mei Fang's mother's room for a long time without coming out. It was not convenient for Mei Fang to knock on the door and ask, so after thinking about it, she went to the study to see the finished game she had made.

The game he has been tinkering with since the beginning of the winter vacation is "flappy bird" from his previous life, which is also known as "the stupid bird flies first".

This type of game, which involves controlling the height to overcome upper and lower obstacles, has many games with similar gameplay as early as the Symbian button machine era, such as "Helicopter".

In Mei Fang's view, the earliest prototype of inspiration for this type of game should come from the side-scrolling shooting games of the FC era. In the famous "Saloman Snake" of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kolkata, there is a similar obstacle avoidance level. It is not

In games like Super Power, you will be stuck if you touch an obstacle, but you will die if you collide with it.

In 2008, Unity had just supported the Windows platform, and it was still two years away from Android smartphones.

What Mei Fang wants to do is to first accumulate technical experience in developing complete games, so that he can get his share of the pie on the mobile platform as soon as possible.

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

However, there seems to be no difference between playing "Helicopter" on Windows and Saipan's games, except that the graphics are smoother and smoother.

If you really want to be popular, the experience of cleaning glass on a touch-screen smartphone is still essential...

"Afang, are you playing games?"

Xia Yuan sneaked into Mei Fang's study without knocking.

"It's such a hot day, why should you close the door? Let me see..."

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

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

"Are you ready to run?"

"Do you want to do it?"

"Let me try."

Mei Fang gave way to Lin Youxi. After she sat down, she began to operate seriously, "I kept getting bugs when compiling before. Can you help me solve it?"

"That bug is hard to find."

Xia Yuan listened to Mei Fang and Lin Youxi saying words that he didn't understand, and felt a little like he couldn't fit in.

"Is this the game you guys have been playing together recently? They are all regular geometric shapes, which seems a bit boring."

"This is because the art resources haven't been implanted yet. Once we find the materials and put them in, it will become a little more interesting."

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

"Indeed." Xia Yuan nodded, "Just two people can play games together, and you are still amazing!"

Mei Fang just took advantage of his free time to deal with other matters. It was rare that Yuan Yuan was in such a good mood, and Mei Fang was not a person who did not understand amorous feelings, so he quickly turned off the program save after Lin Youxi left the stage.

"So, what are we going to do this afternoon?"

"Afternoon..."

Xia Yuan raised her hand with a smile and expressed her thoughts, "I want to rent a DVD and watch a movie together!"

In 2008, there were still no movie theaters in Baimei County, a small county. 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 computer screen is too small and it is not in the living room, so the look and feel is always inferior to that of the TV. There is no way to lean on the sofa and eat and watch at the same time.

"However, all the audio and video streets that rent DVDs have closed down now." Lin Youxi thought thoughtfully, "Do you know where to look?"

"Well...you can always find it if you go shopping on the streets!"

"It turns out you don't even know where you are going."

Mei Fang shook her head, "The store next door to where I bought Meiya Little Overlord last time rents CDs. I'll take you there."

"good!"

Mei Fang and his party were lightly dressed and walking on the road that was baked by the scorching sun in midsummer. The cicadas chirped and the heat waves could be seen in the hot air. The three of them walked along the tree-shaded road and met by chance.

When they arrived at a convenience store, Xia Yuan grabbed Mei Fang to prevent him from leaving.

"Afang, go buy some ice cream or an iced drink! I'm almost dying of heat."

Xia Yuan stuck out her tongue and waved her hands to fan her face. The sweat stuck her hair and cheeks together, and her face was red.

"Why do you always make such exaggerated expressions?" Mei Fang couldn't help complaining.

"Hurry up and buy some. Let's go for a walk."

The three of them picked at the convenience store. Xia Yuan was about to pay, but Lin Youxi paid the price first.

"I'll take care of you this time."

"Then, I will rent the CD later at no cost to you!"

"No, a treat is just a treat, don't associate it with anything else."

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

"Well... that's great! Next time Al Fang and I please go back."

Lin Youxi's change came from this winter.

She mentioned to Mei Fang that she wanted to make money, and Mei Fang pointed out a way for her to become a power leveler. Since then, she has been doing this as a career in "Fantasy Westward Journey".

Now is the most popular era of "Fantasy Westward Journey". Early start-up accounts like Lin Youxi and Mei Fang, due to their heavy investment in the early stage, hide many out-of-print babies and out-of-print weapons with overflowing values. Anyone who sees them wants to see them.

Call boss.

She goes online every weekend to receive power training. Each order can cost up to five yuan, and she can earn at least twenty or thirty dollars every week.

Lin Youxi's proxy playing skills and understanding of certain copies are now deeper than Mei Fang's, and he has slowly made his name in this server.

After he started making money on his own, Mei Fang could clearly feel that Lin Youxi felt much less timid and had some confidence in whatever 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 wrinkled pocket, and timidly asked Mei Fang if she had enough to buy apples.

Perhaps Lin Youxi's childhood cowardice and Lin Youxi's childhood agreement were not as complicated as imagined.

They all stem from the lack of confidence caused by poverty.

At least, she looks much better now.

The group of people drank Coca-Cola and ate ice-cream, and passed by a row of closed shops on the street. The scene under the bright sun made Mei Fang suddenly feel an inexplicable sense of desolation.

In Mei Fang's memory, Baimei County, a small county town, has a very interesting aspect, that is, people tend to get together when opening shops.

There is a street of Internet cafes, a street of boutiques, a street of bookstores, a street of barbecues, and a street of canteens.

If there is any deviation in the service, then that's it. For example, the food street will open stores with different types of food. This is understandable, after all, they are in different tracks.

But a street in Bai Mei County is really just a street. 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 they are worried about their ideas being plagiarized, but no one comes up with anything.

The new marketing idea is to forcefully open a store here. I really don’t know what the point of following the trend is.

Once upon a time, the street that Mei Fang is passing through now and these stores were all a prosperous and bustling music and video club street. But now they are all in a wave of store closures. But before long, this street will eventually become a milk tea street and a bookstore street.

A prosperous place.

The great wheel of time is always moving forward, as if nothing can remain unchanged.

Mei Fang stopped where she was, looking at the petite backs of Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan in front of her.

After being in a daze for a while, Mei Fang ran after Xia Yuan as he greeted her.
