Cannon Fodder Genius Game Producer

Pei Shu hasn't paid attention to the "Wasteland" project for the time being. After arranging the medium-term goals in the studio and a series of personnel recruitment interviews, Pei Shu took a rare vacation for himself and let himself spend the weekend. For two days, I nestled in the apartment on Daonan Road to rest.

***

Daonan Road Apartment

Pei Shu hasn't stayed at home for a long time since the official operation of the Bulo studio. One is because of being busy, and the other is because of Li Chuyue's more and more direct attitude towards him that he noticed at the beginning.

For nearly half a year, he seems to be able to handle everything with ease. He even directly crossed the threshold of 8 years. With his continuous learning and absorption in a short period of time, he insisted on carrying the identity of the main creative director. With the limited staff in the studio, a project such as "One Thought Immortal Demon" was completed.

No one knows how many days and nights he has stayed up in the past six months.

Without continuous research and learning, no matter how talented he was 8 years ago, he would never be able to directly cross the torrent of 8 years and clearly understand the thoughts and needs of current players.

Eight years ago, before 8, card-based mobile games had just appeared on the market. It was an era when a monthly turnover of 2013 million was already a hit in mobile games. In that era, the research and development focus of various game companies It was also placed on PC (computer terminal) games, and all kinds of 2000D games with heavy gameplay exploded in that era.

Although Pei Shu predicted at that time that mobile games would become a popular trend in the future, at that time, he could not have imagined what kind of game would be when the mobile game era really exploded eight years later. That's what players really like.

When he was explaining the future positioning of his studio to Li Chuyue, when he was lobbying Li Chuyue for investment, when he was communicating with Jiang Ziye and Wang Fei, all he showed was his ability to do things with ease.

This is the sense of trust he must bring to the studio partners as the head of the studio, the helm and leader of the entire project.

But in reality, alone, he's not as comfortable as he appears to be.

After the core concept of "Yi Nian Xian Mo" is determined, how to design the corresponding system and gameplay around it, how to lay out the overall system framework for the game, how to design various short-term, medium- and long-term goals, and balance careers, etc., These content that he seemed to be able to handle with ease when he communicated with Wang Fei, Jiang Ziye, and Qiu Boyu were all the results of his deliberation over and over again in the late night alone.

He does have a genius-like keen sense of the content of the game, but the progress of time and the times is an existence that any genius needs to put in enough effort to overcome.

Fortunately, what he lacks is only 8 years. Fortunately, he is now living in such an era of knowledge explosion, which allows him to easily obtain knowledge and information, which allows him to successfully survive.

After the crazy development period of "Yi Nian Xian Mo" passed, he did not relax his vigilance, but quickly launched several new projects to be approved in the studio.

It wasn't until he settled all these things for the time being that he finally had time to return to his Daonan Road apartment and take a quiet breath.

Nesting on the comfortable recliner in the living room for a long time, Pei Shu was able to completely empty his mind and be a rare self who didn't have to think about anything.

He patted the pillow that he grabbed casually, and couldn't help but feel that the feeling of salted fish is really wonderful.

It's just that this idea just crossed his mind not long ago, and Pei Shu couldn't hold back and started thinking. The newcomers Feng Chenchu ​​and Qiu Boyu in the studio already had their project directions, so what should he do? What about new games?

Thinking seems to have become his instinct, and when he found himself immersed in work thinking again, the sunlight outside the balcony had gradually turned into the warm light of the setting sun.

'ding dong'

The apartment doorbell rang at the right time, and he would have rang his doorbell at this time, almost without second thought.

It's Li Chuyue.

Pei Shu leaned on the recliner, raised his hand to cover his eyes in an evasive manner, and then gave up and stood up when the second steady doorbell rang.

It is now the end of October, and the coolness of autumn has already begun. When Pei Shu opened the door, what he saw was Li Chuyue, who was wearing a beige sweater, slacks, and an apron in front of him.

It seems that he should be a calm and domineering young man, but he is wearing such an apron, and his home clothes look casual and decent.

Pei Shu was silent for three seconds, and couldn't help complaining: "Li Chuyue, do you wear such clothes when cooking at home?"

With this casual attire, he should sit directly in the cafe not far from Yuefeng Building on Daonan West Road, enjoy the warm sunlight coming in from the window, and take a leisurely sip of a cup of coffee.

When Li Chuyue heard this, he showed a big smile: "Of course not when I cook by myself."

After a pause, he said again: "But today I have you."

Pei Shu looked at Li Chuyue, and took a step back with some headaches: "Xiao Lizi, you know, I have always regarded you as a younger brother in the past."

Li Chuyue's eyes flickered, but he still had an innocent smile that seemed to be shining like a dog: "Well, I know."

He has said this sentence to Li Chuyue countless times, but Li Chuyue seems to have never heard it. Every time he answers this, but after saying "know", Li Chuyue always keeps The attitude is exactly the same as in the past—no, maybe not exactly the same, but a more direct and intimate attitude.

It's like boiling a frog in warm water.

Pei Shu suddenly noticed that each time Li Chuyue's attitude of getting closer than before would make him uncomfortable for a while, but as he got closer again and again, it was like a bird constantly testing the edge of your defense. The wild beast gradually approached step by step.

Pei Shu, who finally came to his senses, looked at Li Chuyue with complicated eyes.

Ever since he woke up, he just thought that the younger brother who had been with him since he was a child had become a bit too smart and teasing, but stripping away the teasing appearance that Li Chuyue had always put on the outside, the one in front of him could no longer be called The character called "brother" is clearly a cunning beast, constantly approaching him tentatively.

Li Chuyue could clearly see Pei Shu's retreat, but he still took a step forward and stretched out his hand as an invitation gesture: "I have prepared today's dinner, shall we have dinner together?"

***

Before entering Li Chuyue's apartment, a scent wafted out from the slightly open door. It was a very sweet and tempting smell of radish rib soup.

This soup was obviously stewed just right. The sweetness of the radish mixed with the meaty aroma of the pork ribs made Pei Shu feel hungry even before entering the house.

So it wasn't until Pei Shu finished washing his hands that he sat down at the dining table and drank a bowl of soup. Then he remembered that he agreed to come to dinner, and he also wanted to talk to Li Chuyue about the studio and the flat floor of the office floor of Yuefeng Building. rent issue.

In the end, he actually drank the soup seriously.

...Little Lizi, when he ran away from home, he clearly still could not distinguish the five grains, when did he have this kind of skill?

Pei Shu looked at the bright braised pork ribs in front of him, steamed scallops as tender and delicate as a pudding, and fresh boiled prawns that were so tender and tender, and finally served with radish rib soup and a dish Choy Sum in Oyster Sauce.

Four dishes and one soup, with complete nutrition and excellent taste.

And every dish is his favorite home cooking.

This made it difficult for him to pretend that he didn't know that the meal on this table was specially prepared for him.

And when he was about to try to talk about the studio, Li Chuyue would raise his head, put his index finger to his lips with a smile: "Pei Pei, I remember you said that you should eat well when you eat." Have a meal."

Pei Shu:.

He did say this to Li Chuyue.

So he could only be gagged by what he had said, shut his mouth silently, and started to eat.

Li Chuyue's craftsmanship is indeed better than Pei Shu's expectations. The smooth and tender scallop steamed egg is eaten in one bite. It is smooth and tender, and at the same time, you can eat some dry cup grains from it. The slightly salty taste of the seafood is in the mouth. The mouth spreads at the same time, and all the flavors are embellished just right.

It wasn't until Pei Shu finished his meal unknowingly that he realized that his appetite was much larger than usual, to the point where he felt overwhelmed.

As the saying goes, cannibals have soft mouths but short hands.

In Li Chuyue's place, Pei Shu has both points at the moment.

Even if the income from "One Thought Immortal Demon" is enough for Li Chuyue to earn a lot of money, this does not prevent Li Chuyue from agreeing to invest in such a matter for him without hesitation.

He had just woken up at that time, and although he had already told himself to relax as much as possible and pursue the life he deserved, at the same time, he had to find a way to deal with the will of the plot and Lin Cheng as the protagonist, but when he thought about it, his whole body was still the same. With an imperceptible hostility, it wasn't until half a year of normal life and work, as the time to rely on the will of the plot became longer and longer, and everything became more and more normal, that he had the extra energy to think about some things that hadn't happened in the past. thought of things.

For example, in the past half a year or so, he finally remembered to look up Zha Li Chuyue's current resume and his behavior style - but the information he found made him a little dumbfounded.

Acting decisively, with strong wrists, and interests first?

This is the Li Chuyue he knew?

This is the little Lizi who has been by his side since he was a child?

Thinking back to every side of Li Chuyue he had seen since he woke up, he was finally able to realize from the details that Li Chuyue, who grew up and matured, indeed had a completely different face from when he was a child. A strong stance that is well hidden.

It is self-evident why such a Li Chuyue presents a completely different appearance in front of him than usual.

After thinking about it, Pei Shu could only sigh melancholy in the end.

Things like feelings really get more and more annoying.

After both of them finished eating, Pei Shu helped to pack the tableware into the kitchen, and because he was too full, he stood up and walked to the large terrace of the apartment to rest for a while.

But before he stood there for too long, he suddenly noticed a line of sight hanging behind him.

When he turned around, he saw that Li Chuyue had already packed his things and came out of the kitchen, leaning against the sliding door from the living room to the terrace, looking at him without blinking.

Pei Shu, who was always confident in facing Lao Wang and others, couldn't help but want to back off and just run away, but before he could put this idea into action, Li Chuyue seemed to have predicted it first. As if realizing his action, she took a step forward and grabbed his hand.

The shrewdness that Pei Shu usually used to trick players in his mind didn't know where he went now. He frowned, trying to shake off Li Chuyue's hand, but Li Chuyue followed his will and let go. Another whole bear hugged him, rubbing its head next to his ear.

"Pei Pei, you are finally back."

"I thought you didn't want to come back to this apartment again."

Li Chuyue's voice was a little low at the moment, and a slight breath rubbed against his ears, which made Pei Shu feel a little itchy in his ears, and he turned his head away uncomfortably: "What nonsense, why didn't I come back. I was busy before I have also been back when."

It's just that every time he came back in the middle of the night, Li Chuyue was afraid that he was too tired and never bothered him. The two people who clearly lived in the same building and the same floor were like transparent people who didn't exist.

So much so that if Li Chuyue wanted to find him, he had to go to the Bulo studio in Yuefeng Building to really meet him.

Thinking of this, Pei Shu sighed silently again: "Li Chuyue, you don't have to do this."

Wouldn't it be good to take a step back from the relationship between the two and be friends again?

Li Chuyue obviously had no intention of retreating, he hugged Pei Shu even tighter, and said like a willful brawler: "I am willing."

Pei Shu tried to push, but couldn't push Li Chuyue's embrace away, but Li Chuyue didn't hold on for too long. After sensing Pei Shu's movement, he just sighed in his ear and let go. He opened his hand and retreated to the patio door again.

***

As a result, during this day's dinner, from before the meal to the end of the meal, Pei Shu couldn't say a single word of business.

After he returned to his apartment, he rubbed his forehead and felt a little headache.

He originally wanted to say 'I don't like you' to Li Chuyue forcefully, but he couldn't say it for some reason, and in the end he didn't know how he got back to his apartment.

In his limited life experience, he really didn't have any experience in dealing with emotional troubles, which made him feel a little irritable and at a loss.

Not long after, a new message appeared on his phone.

Li Chuyue: [^^ Pei Pei, don't think too much, go to bed earlier. 】

Li Chuyue: [^^ Regarding matters related to the investment of the studio, I will communicate with you at the Bulo studio on weekdays, and take a good rest on weekends. 】

Li Chuyue: [^^ I'll bring you Li Ji's steamed stuffed bun fried dough sticks and soy milk tomorrow morning. 】
