MTL - Hello, How Long Has This Been Going On?-Chapter 95

Huo Sihan, who is thousands of miles away, rarely gets up early on weekends, and has been inseparable from his mobile phone since nine o'clock in the morning. While chatting with the sisters in the group, he is excitedly waiting for ten o'clock to arrive.

Huo Sihan has the advantage of being close to the water. He got the invitation code for the closed beta early on, and has already experienced part of the game content, so he lived like a sailor while waiting for the public beta.

[I'm a good cook: @Give me barley! ! I just went to the official blog to see the standing paintings of the next five male protagonists. They are all handsome. Which one do you think has a better plot? ]

[Give me barley! ! : Children only make choices, of course adults want all of them! ]

[Give me barley! ! : But I personally like the overbearing Mr. Jiang's line the most. Sometimes it's very suave, and sometimes it's funny hahahahaha! ]

[Chichichi: I like the artist's character design! Blue sweater and white scarf in winter! Woooooo gentleness will kill me forever! ]

[～＿～: No one likes convenience store clerks! It's the first time I saw such a profession in the Otome mobile game, and it feels like a sunny and healthy type! Ahhh I want to organize shelves late at night with him! ]

[～＿～: The quiet street in the middle of the night, the lights of the convenience store, the pink sparkling water drink, the smiling little milk dog, ah, ah, Li Hui is so amazing, I am lost! ]

[Give me barley! ! : Fuck, I have never experienced this line! Well, I declare that I am empathetic. ]

[Chichichi: Hahahaha scumbag! Domineering CEO: Woman, can you say it again? ]

After talking nonsense with his sisters for a long time, when it was 9:58, Huo Sihan stared at the game interface downloaded in advance on his phone with bated breath, waiting for the server to open.

At the same time, Huo Ran, who was alone in Room 1502, also maintained the same expression.

Although he did not invest in this game, nor did he participate in the production, but he knew everyone who made this game, witnessed their daily efforts, and heard every ups and downs and joys they experienced, so he is also very nervous now.

I don't know what kind of mood Tao Zhiyue is in the company.

Originally, Huo Ran wanted to order morning tea, so that everyone could comfort themselves with food when they were nervous, but today the real boss Jiang Ye has already ordered snacks and tea, so there is no room for him to use his abilities.

One minute.

thirty seconds.

ten seconds.

three seconds.

When the second was exactly ten o'clock, Huo Ran also pressed the button to enter the game very precisely.

It was dark at first, and then gradually appeared ripples on the screen like the swaying water surface, interlaced sunlight and starlight, hazy memory fragments flowing away, like a passing river.

"I" woke up from the darkness, slowly opened my eyes, and looked at the new world in front of me in confusion.

What followed was an introduction to the background of the story and a guide for beginners.

Huo Ran, who participated in the internal test before, is actually no stranger to this opening animation.

But looking at it today, it seems to have a special feeling.

It seems to have indirectly experienced a little bit of Tao Zhiyue's mood when he came to this world.

After going through the novice guide, Huo Ran finished picking up the nickname of the game and decided to start in a secluded town.

There is a 24-hour convenience store in the town and a hotel with little business.

There is an always sunny and optimistic clerk in the convenience store, and a painter who comes to collect and sketch lives in the hotel.

Huo Ran felt that the combination of the convenience store clerk and the painter was more like Tao Zhiyue, so he decided to try to capture these two characters at the same time.

Huo Ran was nestled on the sofa in the living room, playing the game very seriously, when a message from Huo Sihan suddenly popped up on his phone.

[Give me barley! ! : Ah ah, have you played? ! ]

[HR: Playing, what are you doing? ]

[Give me barley! ! : Judging by your tone, you just didn’t find any easter eggs. Hahahaha, it’s not in vain. As soon as I entered the game, I clicked everywhere! ]

[HR: What easter eggs? ]

[Give me barley! ! : I won't tell you, it must be an easter egg left by brother Zhizhi, slightly slightly slightly! ]

[HR sent a red envelope. ]

[Give me barley! ! : In the game settings - feedback and suggestions, thank you boss, happy cooperation/handshake]

[HR: /handshake]

Huo Ran immediately abandoned the plot and turned on the game settings.

When he saw the feedback suggestion interface, he froze for a moment, then smiled.

This interface is not a regular blank pop-up window, or a customer service dialog box, but a Q-version villain with his head buried in the back of the computer typing on the keyboard.

There was a knocking sound coming from the back of the computer, Huo Ran poked the computer curiously, the knocking sound stopped instantly, and the villain poked his head out from behind the computer, it turned out that he was still wearing a pink peach headgear.

Two options appear on the interface at the same time.

[Suggestion] [Take a shot]

Huo Ran didn't have any suggestions to make, so he clicked and patted.

There were two blushes on the peach-headed man's face, and he immediately retracted to the back of the computer and started typing on the keyboard.

so cute.

Huo Ran thought for a while, then poked the computer again, waited for Taozi's head to pop out, and then patted it.

It felt like patting Tao Zhiyue's head.

While he was enjoying himself, Huo Sihan sent another message.

[Give me barley! ! : Dear brother, are you taking pictures repeatedly? ]

[HR:…]

[HR: I don't. ]

[Give me barley! ! : Hahahahaha, don’t be shy, I’ve been filming for ten minutes, too cute to watch! Another day, I really want to try to shoot brother Zhizhi's head! ]

[HR: You are not allowed to shoot. ]

[Give me barley! ! : Hey, you ~ tube ~ not ~ with ~! Many players have discovered this easter egg. ]

[Give me barley! ! : There is a lot of discussion on the scarf now! I think this game is really hot! So happy! ]

Huo Ran hasn't worn a scarf for a long time since he sent out the scarf to clarify the airport photos.

The message bar was full of red dots, which caused him to be stuck for a while when logging in to the scarf.

Huo Ran glanced roughly, many people were saying that he must have broken up with his casual boyfriend, otherwise why would he disappear after posting a Weibo, obviously to coax others that their love period is over, I haven't deleted it yet, and I don't know if Huo Ran will feel embarrassed if the next one sees it.

No breakup, no next term, no embarrassment. Huo Ran replied silently in his heart.

The only things that can embarrass him are the box of nesting dolls carefully inspected by the security inspectors, the game coins thrown into the coin box on the bus, and the post on the Sky Forum back then...

No, I can't think about it anymore, it's really embarrassing.

Huo Ran, who forced his brain to clear the embarrassing memories, went to the official blog of One Tree Game first.

The latest one has tens of thousands of comments.

[One Tree Game V: "New World" has officially started its public beta today, thank you for your love! Due to the influx of a large number of players in a short period of time, the server... is still strong! Hahahaha did not collapse! ! It can even do Modo Modo! ! ]

Huo Ran couldn't help laughing.

According to what Tao Zhiyue shared with him before, it must be Guan Yudong's post.

People's eyes are sharp.

[Haiyan hits a cow: It is reasonable to suspect that this scarf was sent by an ecstatic programmer who took away the account, laughing to death, the picture is very strong. ]

[Ah, oh, oh, oh: Did you make the easter eggs in the feedback? I'll go back to the game to bald you! Let you act cute everywhere! ]

[I don't believe what you said angrily: Huh? Really? Then I will call someone, I must see you begging for mercy today. ]

[Xiaoguo Rice Noodles replied to your angry words, I don’t believe it: Help me, I have won President Jiang’s true biography hahahahaha! ]

[Has the nickname really been taken: The painting style is amazing, the plot is also very cute, the treasure game is making me popular! ! ]

[Mrs. Qiuqiu: What kind of snacks in the convenience store do Xiao Qiu like the most? ! I just realized that many people’s tastes are different. My Xiaoqiu likes watermelon flavored bubble gum! The picture of blowing bubbles is so cute! ]

Huo Ran read all the way, not only flipped through the comments on the official blog, but also read the feedback from many players in the topic of bibs, most of which were praises and praises, he seemed to be honored, and his mood became better.

Of course, there are always some dissonant voices.

[No, no, no: Although, I remember eating melons, didn't this game copy someone else's Lihui? Why are there so many people playing? ]

[Coke Potato Beef Cake replied: No, no, no: Sister, you have to eat all the melons, it’s because this game was copied and then beaten up, very innocent and very unlucky. ]

[Response to the Lord: Yue, why is this house here again, I know that the blowing style is amazing and the plot is cute, I want to be amazing and cute ptsd, the embarrassing blowing is really terrible, can the navy change some tricks? ]

[Speechless speechless big speechless reply to Master Bouncing: It's amazing or cute, isn't the player's real feedback not allowed? The rebound is for you, you look so pitiful in embarrassment, can you change it a bit? Could it be that there are no other black spots? Then it's not easy for you! ]

Huo Ran couldn't help but like this counterattack reply.

For the next whole day, he played games, patted Taozi's head, watched the wind direction on his scarf, and spun a lot of rainbow farts that he thought were justified.

A bunch of question marks gradually appeared in the comment area. Some people thought that his account had been stolen, and even said that this was a real marketing hammer of a tree. Some people said that Huo's must have taken a fancy to it. The state of their crazy pitch game for two years.

Huo Ran chose the smartest comment to reply from it.

[A mung bean popsicle: I have a mysterious intuition that this game has something to do with Mr. Huo's mysterious boyfriend...]

[Huo Ran V replied with a mung bean popsicle: ^-^]

After silently finishing the show, Huo Ran left the comment area satisfied.

Tao Zhiyue must be very busy now, Huo Ran didn't bother him hastily, but just responded to him in time when he occasionally sent messages.

[Gift: I'll kill Quack when I'm done. ]

[Gift: The server almost failed after he distributed the scarf. ]

[HR: Hahahaha, I guessed right, he did it. ]

[Gift: Hey, did you post the scarf to promote the game? There is one more hot search topic on the operation talk. ]

[Gift:! ! ]

[HR: Adorable Mix Pass.jpg]

[Gift: Alright, now the server is really overloaded...]

[Gift: Little Yellow Duck Raises the Knife.jpg]

[HR: I was wrong, I prepared a supper for you. ]

[HR: Little bear stickers.gif]

That night, Tao Zhi got off work as soon as eleven o'clock, and when he got home, there were two bowls of crystal glutinous rice **** steaming hot on the table.

The soft and transparent skin is covered with colorful fillings, like a bowl of crystal clear gems.

"The timing is just right." Huo Ran, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen, "Today's cooking is also very good, everything is transparent."

After a day of exhaustion, Tao Zhiyue lay on the sofa for a minute, then washed his hands, walked to the dining table and sat down.

"It's almost midnight. It's really cold outside. Fortunately, I wore the thickest coat in the morning."

A bowl of warm glutinous rice balls, just to dispel the cold.

"It's almost the end of the month, and winter will get colder and colder."

Tao Zhiyue understood the hint in his words, ate a glutinous rice ball stuffed with matcha, and said with a smile, "Do you want to keep guessing?"

"When I was making glutinous rice **** just now, I suddenly thought of a direction." Huo Ran said enthusiastically, "Could it be a detailed recipe written by you yourself? I think the probability of guessing right this time is as high as 95%."

"This idea is very good, I like it." Tao Zhiyue pondered for a while, "But I still want to congratulate you, you won the other 5%, and you got the wrong answer."

"..."

Without changing his face, Huo Ran scooped up a purple crystal glutinous rice ball with a spoon and brought it to him, "Don't talk, eat a purple potato flavor."

After eating supper and seeing Tao Zhiyue relaxed, Huo Ran asked about the game.

"Is the data of the game good?"

"When I got off work just now, it was already number one in the download list." Tao Zhiyue smiled, "It's unexpectedly good, Guagua has already started to imagine that he can receive several digit bonuses."

"However, he still can't help but read the scarf comments. It is inevitable that there will be some bad words, and he will be so angry that he will fight. It is a pity that the server did not give him this time."

Huo Ran also remembered the comments he saw before: "Is it plagiarism before, and the players' evaluations are too similar?"

"Yes, I clarified it early tomorrow, and there are always people who won't listen." Tao Zhi was more confused, "Many people have never played the game at all, and they may just think that what the players say is similar, so they start to speculate maliciously... Although everyone is I am happy, but I will inevitably be affected by these words, obviously we have not done any messy things other than playing games."

"There is no price to pay for speaking behind the screen, so many people use this to vent their emotions." Huo Ran comforted, "I didn't understand it before, but I gradually figured it out."

Tao Zhi looked at him more curiously.

"I think this is also a kind of randomness, the randomness of life, just like the random logic you write in the game."

"If you take out your creative works and painstaking efforts, you will definitely receive many unexpected praises or accusations, and you will face complex, unpredictable and unpredictable fates."

"For example, the TOD project we are working on, we hope that the public will look forward to its grand and exquisite design, infinite possibilities in the future, and a new way of life, but some people don't even look at it, and complain and ask why they sell land and build shopping malls to collect money, but Even if you explain everything to him, he won't believe it, because he has his own values, and maybe he has decided that we are evil."

"There is no way to do this, you can only choose to ignore it. When you hold out your heart, someone will definitely step past without looking at it, and there will definitely be intentional or unintentional misinterpretations. These are random impurities and particles that will always floating in space."

"But one thing is certain, your hard work will inevitably meet admirers with similar auras, because you know that you are sincere, and sincerity is the most stable force."

Tao Zhi was quiet for a while, then laughed: "These words are mine now, and I will use them to comfort others tomorrow."

"Then do I need to get paid?"

"No, you must have slapped me on the head in the game today, and that will count as a reward."

"How did you know?"

Tao Zhiyue shook his head mysteriously: "I know more things."

For example, Huo Ran, who regards Tao Zhiyue as Tao Zhiyue, will persistently "pat" him every day.

In the eyes of almost all players, this is just an interesting easter egg left by a programmer, but in the eyes of insiders, he can be seen.

Especially Huo Ran.

He also plays this popular game like everyone else, conquering characters, experiencing the plot, and admiring Lihua...

But his favorite part is to pat the peach-headed villain who is working hard when he has nothing to do.

Thursday, December 24, the morning of Christmas Eve.

Tao Zhiyue, who has been very busy recently, was lying in bed, Huo Ran got up first to wash up.

While brushing his teeth, he opened the game by the way, went online, called up the game settings-feedback, then poked and patted.

The peach head on the screen is already working, and someone off the screen is still sleeping late.

It's fun to think about it.

Huo Ran, whose mouth was full of white foam, was about to put down his phone when he suddenly noticed something strange.

This time, the peach-headed villain did not shyly retreat behind the computer and type on the keyboard as usual.

A smiling face resembling ^-^ appeared on Taozi, and then a line of familiar questions appeared on the screen, with a row of options below.

— Hello, how long has this been going on?

—[11 days][12 days][13 days][many days]
