Rebirth 86: I use games to kick open the door to the world.

Today Zuo Zhen plans to go to two more companies to promote his game.

After two days, Zuo Zhen estimated that the previous players would get tired of playing Contra, and his own Squirrel War would be able to keep up with the rhythm.

But before going to sell, he still has one place to go, and that is the post office.

Today he wants to send Squirrel War as soon as possible.

The post office is actually not far from the school. Students usually mail letters to their homes or other places. The correspondence is very frequent, so the post office is simply located here. Zuo Zhen borrowed it from Dai Min in the dormitory. It's a [-]-inch truck, and I hope I can get the mailing done quickly, so that I can have more time to sell the game. If I'm lucky, I might even be able to sell it to three or four companies.

Riding all the way, Zuo Zhen almost lost feeling in his butt. Today’s bikes really don’t have any shock-absorbing technology at all. They have a very simple bicycle structure. If they encounter any potholes, they will start to bump wildly.

This also made Zuo Zhen want to get a car more and more.

But it seems that cars still need indicators now, and I don’t know how to do this.

After all, Zuo Zhen is not a person who has lived in this era, and what he knows is really only superficial, and most of it is what others say.

Riding all the way out of the campus, you can see many students voluntarily organizing morning exercises in the large square at the entrance of the campus, but it is not the later broadcast gymnastics that Zuo Zhen is familiar with.

This should be Youth Changquan. Zuo Zhen also watched people practice it in college in his previous life, but in this era it seems that all students are learning this instead of radio gymnastics.

After leaving school, Zuo Zhen rode along the street for about ten minutes to the post office.

At this moment, people are coming and going at the door of the post office, many of them holding letters or packages in their hands.

Telephone bills are too expensive, so sending letters has become a favorite thing for students these days.

Zuo Zhen parked his bicycle aside, and then stepped into the lobby of the post office.

He took the wrapped floppy disk and walked to the back of one of the window queues and waited patiently in line.

If you bring a mobile phone at this time... no, even a handheld console, such as a game console like GAMEBOY, it can also pass the boring time.

However, there are still three years until GAMEBOY is released, and the handheld consoles that can be played at this time are only GAMEWATCH-level handheld consoles that are in the form of cartoons.

Zuo Zhen saw someone in the team taking out some books and reading them seriously. This could be regarded as a way to relax.

He also curiously took a look at the cover content and found that it seemed to be a privately printed collection of modern poetry. Zuo Zhen immediately lost interest.

Poets seem to be very popular in this era. The only ones Zuo Zhen remembers are Haizi and Gu Cheng. I wonder if these two people exist in this parallel world.

After queuing for about half an hour, it was finally Zuo Zhen's turn. When he came to the window, Zuo Zhen prepared the money and at the same time took out the packaged floppy disk box and placed it at the window.

"Hello, I want to send something to Japan."

"Japan?" The employee at the window was obviously stunned for a moment after hearing this word, and then looked at Zuo Zhen in surprise.

Not only this window employee, but also several people behind Zuo Zhen also raised their heads and looked towards the front of the team.

"What are you sending?"

"That's it, a floppy disk."

"What is this floppy disk for?"

"To a Japanese company."

"What exactly is it used for?"

Zuo Zhen was puzzled: "Do you want to ask such a detailed question?"

"Of course." The employee said angrily, "But you have to ask carefully before sending anything abroad."

"Let them help me sell the contents of this floppy disk, which contains a video game I made."

"I understand games, but what are video games?"

"Um...things that run on the computer."

This employee asked Zuo Zhen several questions over and over again, and even asked a few more questions about the relationship between games and computers. Zuo Zhen needed to send this thing out as soon as possible, so he could only explain patiently.

The employee looked at Zuo Zhen strangely: "It sounds like you are good at using computers?"

"Well, I'm actually a student at Kyungsan University, majoring in computer science."

Although I have just joined the computer major for a few days.

"That's it." The employee looked at Zuo Zhen meaningfully a few more times, which made Zuo Zhen a little confused and didn't know what the other person wanted to do.

Then the employee stopped talking nonsense and said in a business-like manner: "This is something you sent personally. It can save some approval procedures. However, it is not cheap to send things abroad privately, and it also requires foreign exchange coupons. If it is sent by an employer, Just sign it."

"Oh, I have this, I'm ready."

Zuo Zhen took out a few more banknotes from his pocket. These were the foreign exchange coupons that Zuo Zhen had received before going to Japan. They were subsidies for expatriates, but the amount for each person was not large. Zuo Zhen was also saving money by frugally. The ones that came down were just waiting for this day to be used.

“How much does it cost if I want to send this?”

"Well...do you have any special requests?"

The employee picked up the floppy disk box that Zuo Zhen had packed and kept studying it, as if he wanted to see through the wrapping paper what the contents were, even though Zuo Zhen had already explained it clearly to him.

"Handle it with care and pay attention to the magnetic field. These are the two requirements."

"That should be considered a valuable item. I'll look at the quotation later."

The employee opened a notebook on the side, which recorded the shipping prices of different items.

"Including domestic stamps and postage overseas, the total is 27 yuan and 15 cents, and [-] yuan requires a foreign exchange coupon."

"no problem."

Zuo Zhen pointed out the money he needed and handed it to the other party.

"Please fill in the address." The employee simply packaged the package and handed it to Zuo Zhen again, and put a mailing slip on it.

Zuo Zhen took the package, then wrote the headquarters address of Japan NGS on it, and then wrote the recipient's name of Akira Nakamura. This was considered complete.

"Is this okay?" After writing it, Zuo Zhen handed the ticket book to the employee again.

"Just make sure the address is OK."

After saying that, he put Zuo Zhen's package away and took notes. After making sure it was correct, Zuo Zhen was ready to go back home to promote his game.

However, at this moment, the employee at the window shouted again: "Hey, classmate, please wait first."

"Is there anything else?" Zuo Zhen asked doubtfully.

"There is indeed one thing. You are better at computers, right?"

"correct."

"That's just right. There is a problem with a computer in our unit. Can you help? Of course, your help will not be in vain."

"What kind of question?" Zuo Zhen asked with a frown.

This was a bit beyond his expectation, but he didn't mind if he could help, and it wouldn't take long.

"Wait a moment, who is that... Lao Wang, help me take over the class, and I will take this classmate to see the director."

After the window employee finished speaking, he disappeared from the window, and then quickly came out of the small door on the side and waved Zuo Zhen to pass.
