Reborn in 2000 as a scholar
Chapter 75 1 seat and the start of school
The game circle has never been a big circle, and the employees of various companies have relationships in one way or another. Therefore, the first work of Horizon Games "God King" did not pay protection fees during the internal test period, but it still tested smoothly. The news spread quickly.Standard Digital's domineering approach in the game circle is not unopposed, but everyone has been unable to find the leader to deal with Standard Digital.
After seeing the Horizon Game face-to-face with the standard digital, the attitudes of the major game companies towards the Horizon Game have also changed very ambiguously.On the bright side, it seems that Horizon Games can’t find a few partners outside of South China who can talk to it; but in the dark, both manufacturers in East China and North China show their favor to Horizon Games through their respective relationships in South China. .In addition to being dissatisfied with the standard digital, this kind of show of favor is more about how the horizon game deals with the black hand of the standard digital.
After Lin Jinqi, Lu Xiaohua and Jin Dongjun knew about these undercurrents, they made the method public after a little discussion.This method of separating the login server from the game server can't be hidden for too long. Instead of letting people crack it later, it's better to be open and public to circle a wave of favorability.Besides, the real solution is Lin Jinqi's defense spirit. This hardware firewall is extra encrypted, so there is no worry about being cracked by outsiders at all.
And when Horizon Games announced its own response plan, the technical directors of the game company suddenly realized.This method looks simple, but it is indeed one of the best solutions to deal with flood attacks.Now as long as there is another firewall solution, everything will be fine, but where is the appropriate firewall?Everyone soon understood that Horizon Games still had something hidden in its hands, but the major game companies were embarrassed to pursue it after a wry smile. This kind of thing related to the security of their core servers would definitely not be shared. You can't be so "selfless".
Right and wrong in the game circle are naturally difficult to affect the players. For college and middle school students who are bored in the summer vacation, the appearance of "God King" allows everyone to find an outlet for their emotions.Compared with most games of this era, "God King" has too many leading concepts.
For example, "God King" has a complete world view and background story. You must know that this is the standard configuration of stand-alone games. Online games have never thought that their games should have a story.Also because of this, one thing that stand-alone players can't see online game players is that online games don't have their own stories. The world view of "God King" is very complete, and the background story is also very detailed.
Originally, Lin Jinqi included five main stories of "God King" in the game planning book, and each story was worth a million words.At the suggestion of Kim Dong-joon, the website of "God King" published these five stories by itself.However, Jin Dongjun sold a small mind, only players who registered for the Horizon account can do it. As a result, this move led Jin Dongjun to introduce many non-game pure fantasy fans, which made Jin Dongjun a little bit dumbfounded later.
In addition, Lu Xiaohua took these five books to find a local publishing house in Shenzhen. After the publishing house reviewed and proofread them, he was actually qualified for publishing.Lu Xiaohua naturally gave Lin Jinqi the right to author the book, and published it under Lin Jinqi's real name. In addition to the regular version of "God King", there are also so-called hardcover and deluxe commemorative editions.
However, the publishing house was not optimistic about the latter two versions, so Lu Xiaohua simply took these two versions back to the company and planned to sell them as game peripherals.However, to the surprise of the publishing house and Horizon Games Company, after going through three internal betas and one public beta, the game "King of Gods" became a hit game as predicted by Lin Jinqi, and the game of the same name naturally followed suit. crazy.Even though piracy was flying everywhere at this time, and even though more than half a year had passed by this time, "God King" actually got the No.6 good result in the annual bestseller list.The hardcover edition and deluxe commemorative edition are regarded as the best peripherals of "King of Gods". To a large extent, players who love to play games are fans of fantasy and fantasy literature. Isn't it normal to buy this peripheral to have a look thing?
In addition to the world view and background story, "God King" is considered to be the first game in the game circle that attaches great importance to "eyeball marketing".After all, the birth of online games is related to a group of technical geeks. How much can you expect from the aesthetics of technical nerds?Looking at the programmers of later generations, it seems that they don't know other clothing brands except Uniqlo.If the tough style of MMORPG games like "Legend" is reasonable, why is even an online game like "Stone Age" that takes the cute line so scary?
In "God King", the game screen has made a qualitative leap in line with the improvement of everyone's hardware level.And in order to allow low-configuration players to enjoy the game, Lin Jinqi also deliberately allows players to adjust the game quality on the operation interface.This small change can also be regarded as a small invention of online games. Many game companies have discovered that it is so simple to solve the contradiction between high-configuration and low-configuration players.In addition, the emergence of Lin Jinqi's new concept of novice village, martial arts residence, and life occupation not only expands the fun of the game for players, but also greatly improves the stickiness and activity of the game.
In addition to the unanimous praise of "King of God" from the players, the praise of "King of God" from major game media made Lin Jinqi feel a little shy after reading it.In the eyes of some game media, "King of God" is an epoch-making game, an online game that should not appear in this era; at the same time, "King of God" is a milestone online game, because "King of God" established the status of online games in the future. many standards.
Taking advantage of the fact that "King of Gods" first invited internal testing, Haowan.com also released their first game video program, "Evaluation Pioneer".Although it is still difficult to watch high-definition videos online, it is enough to make a small preview version to attract players to download.Now the average daily active users of Haowan.com is around 10, and the number of people invited for the internal test of "The King of God" is only 1000, so the downloads of evaluation videos about "The King of God" are naturally very amazing.
The two-week closed beta of the game is coming to an end soon, and the official website has begun to distribute questionnaires to the mailboxes corresponding to the players participating in the test.As long as the user feedbacks the questionnaire, the next test can continue to get the activation code; at the same time, some users who answer seriously can also get the peripherals of "God King", such as: posters, original art collections, namesake, etc.
The official store of "The King of Gods" now sells original art collections, key chains and other peripherals. Lin Jinqi knew that the pirates would definitely not let go of the many images of "The King of Gods", so he simply found someone to contact the manufacturer to produce. .Lin Jinqi divides the peripherals into regular editions and limited editions. The price of the regular edition is relatively cheap, and it is basically positioned at the price of daily consumer goods; as for the limited edition, it is aimed at core players, so the price must be different.However, in addition to the exquisite packaging, the limited edition also has a notarized collection book.
"Mr. Lin, we have received a total of more than 900 feedback forms this time, and the players' enthusiasm for feedback is very high." Jin Dongjun was also very excited when he reported.
If you are willing to fill out the feedback form, it means that the player's love for the game is quite high, and they can basically be classified as the core players of the game.A game without large-scale publicity in the early stage can immediately have more than 900 core players, and the conversion rate of core players is as high as 90%.Although this data does not have much reference value, it does not prevent Jin Dongjun from being happy now.
"The biggest complaint from players is that our operation is a bit difficult. Some players suggested that we should develop auxiliary tools for the game? Mr. Lin, what do you think?"
To put it bluntly, game auxiliary tools are cheats, and cheats can be divided into "malicious cheats" and "non-malicious cheats"; they can also be divided into "plugins" and "internal cheats".
The difference between "external cheats" and "internal cheats" is that "internal cheats" are officially developed by the game and embedded in the game.As for the "internal hacking", players who support it think that it lowers the operating threshold of the game, which will help everyone enjoy the game more easily; but players who oppose it think that this violates the essence of the game, and it is better to let the machine play the game than go to the movies by yourself. up.
As for the difference between "malicious cheats" and "non-malicious cheats" is that "malicious cheats" will use the package program to deceive or forcibly modify server data, and the so-called "one-click upgrade to ninety levels" is a terrible situation; while "non-malicious cheats" "Basically, it is a keyboard and mouse macro operation represented by the button wizard, which simplifies the original complicated operation into a few buttons.
"The development of auxiliary tools is unnecessary. One of the future guidelines of Horizon Game Company is to never produce so-called official game auxiliary tools." Lin Jinqi said.
In Lin Jinqi's view, the use of auxiliary tools is actually the same as cheating in exams and plagiarism in writing. There is only a difference between "yes" and "no", not "more" and "less".Lin Jinqi knew that he alone couldn't stop the character of Chinese server players who love cheating. After all, Chinese people are born with the character of being good at finding loopholes and taking shortcuts, but at least he can't condone such things.
"Although it is impossible to develop auxiliary tools, I suggest that we add a combo system to the operation interface. Players are encouraged to combine some common operations together to realize the one-click opening function."
Lin Jinqi's combo system is actually somewhat similar to the hotkey system, and it can be regarded as a game aid of some kind.But Lin Jinqi thinks that at least players need to use their brains when using the combo system, and the combo system has unlimited possibilities, which is also a kind of fun in the game.Thinking about it, in order to invent their own combos, there must be many players who have to work hard on the game operation.Although this cannot eliminate all "lazy players", it can at least make most players less "lazy".
"'Combined move system'?" Jin Dongjun thought about Lin Jinqi's words for a while, and knew that this was a workaround.However, the "combo system" is still much lighter than the omnipotent "game aids", which is roughly equivalent to electronic cigarettes and real cigarettes.
"This development is not difficult, and we can realize it in the next internal beta version. Apart from this issue, the most concerned issue for players now is how to sell our game cards? Whether to accept payment methods such as monthly subscriptions."
The current online games are basically point card recharges and time-based payments, so many players still value whether the game has a monthly subscription and the monthly subscription price.Because for the core players, they spend more than eight hours a day in the game. If they pay by the hour, these core players probably can’t even afford instant noodles.Therefore, the monthly subscription payment method is actually aimed at core players, so the payment amount and monthly subscription fee have become a matter of great concern to many players.
"Director Jin, do you think we should change to a different payment method?" Lin Jinqi suddenly remembered Shanda's payment method that opened the prosperity of online games in the future. Although this method has also been criticized, Lin Jinqi thinks that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
"Go back to selling activation codes for stand-alone games? Although we can verify the correctness of the activation codes through the server, how much is the price? Will our version update be free in the future? Or do we have to pay again? How to price the re-payment? "Jin Dongjun was taken aback by his boss's idea. You must know that this method of time payment is one of the roots of the online game industry.It is impossible to pay for online games at one time like stand-alone games, because online games require game servers, which means huge operation and maintenance costs.
"How can we pay a one-time payment like a stand-alone game?" Lin Jinqi felt that Jin Dongjun was thinking in the wrong direction. "I mean, what if we no longer charge according to the length of the game? It means that players can play our games for free."
"Boss, did you catch a cold today? Isn't your thinking too...whimsical?" Jin Dongjun looked at Lin Jinqi with wide eyes.
If Lin Jinqi wasn't his big boss, he would have opened his mouth to scold Lin Jinqi for his head being caught by the door.The predecessors of online games finally invented the time payment model, which made online games have their own profit point, and now that my boss actually plans to play games for free, then this company is still dead?Do you make money by selling game peripherals?
"Director Jin, didn't I discuss the issue of paying players and free players with you? According to the original design of our game, the point cards recharged by players can also buy game props except for the length of the paid game. My current thinking is, If we make the game time free, does it mean that more players will enter the game? Since there are a large number of game players, does it mean that more players will recharge and pay to buy items?" Lin Jinqi Said, "We just need to adjust the economic system of the game and sell some commonly used items.
Rare props and top-quality equipment can only be obtained through the game, but commonly used equipment, such as red medicine and blue medicine, and upgraded versions of some life occupation props need to be purchased for a fee.And do you remember the so-called 'Avatar System' in our game?This concept is actually derived from the Red Diamond system of Penguin Chat.The clothing of the virtual system has no attributes, it is purely good-looking. "
"Play games for free? Charge for items?" Now Jin Dongjun was a little confused.
In-game props are actually paid for, but basically they sell some red and blue medicines, because the consumption of these medicines is too high, and sometimes the output in the game is not enough, so they are simply sold.However, most of the payment methods in the game mall are game gold coins, not recharged game points.Now what Lin Jinqi means is that game points and game gold coins are common, and there must be certain items that can only be purchased with game points.
"If it does not destroy the balance of the game, I think item payment may be better. But the question is, do so many players pay for the 'virtual image system'? Also, which items are specially paid for by game points Woolen cloth?"
"Director Jin, do you know how much Penguin has earned from the red diamonds? I'm a shareholder of their family, do you think I can't see their financial reports?" Lin Jinqi said with a smile, "Although I can't disclose how much money I earned. Money, but it is definitely worth our follow-up. Director Jin, you should know the five levels of human needs, right?
To put it bluntly, the game is to meet the social needs and respect needs of the players, and our avatar is to meet the players' self-realization needs.In fact, isn’t it just for fun when players spend money to play games?If he is happy while gaining the admiration of others, wouldn't it be more stimulating for him to pay?By the way, remember to change the name of 'virtual image system'.Let’s just call it everyday image. "Lin Jinqi thought for a while, and felt that although this name is not very pleasant, it should be okay for temporary use.
"As for the exclusive game point props, we uphold the principle of high-end props and rare props. Because the proportion of these props is not high in daily use, that is, some local rich players need them, so we will charge local rich players here. But Do not sell props such as doubling experience. In the future, when we launch expansion packs, players can get some of them for free and then sell some of them.”
"No problem, we can basically implement these in the next version." Jin Dongjun looked at the report, "The other problems are minor problems, and we can solve them here. Take a look at the feedback form, our I will also sort out the items and prices in the item mall as soon as possible. Boss, is there anything else you need to tell me?"
"I have two things to talk about here." Lin Jinqi said, "The first thing is how is the development progress of our three new games? I saw the game plan and confirmed it with you. It should be in development now." Is it staged? I will go back for about a week, because my second year of high school starts relatively early, so I don’t have time to supervise your progress in the future. The second thing is that I plan to use that pure casual game, "Bang Bang Tang" was handed over to Penguin to operate. You also know that we don't have any allies in some circles, so I had to drag Penguin down to be our allies."
"The development progress of the turn-based game "Happy Westward Journey" has reached 30%, and the demo can be played, and you can roughly experience the gameplay in the game. Because the gameplay of the whole game is based on the traditional turn-based stand-alone game's "stepping on mines" It is not very difficult to develop because of the method of "fighting one by one". The development progress of the side-scrolling game "The Story of the Brave" has reached 25%. The current problem is mainly in the design of moves, but it is not particularly troublesome.
As for "Bang Bang Tang", we have completed a trial map, if you need it, we can arrange a trial play. "Jin Dongjun replied. "With the assistance of the Horizon game development engine, we can build games much faster.The difficulty of our future game development is mainly the planning before the game is built, and the detail optimization after the build is completed.On the contrary, the construction itself is no longer a problem. "
"It's fine to play the DEMO, let's talk about it when we have the α version." Lin Jinqi said, "The recruitment of game planning and game testing is imminent, and you should also remember to supervise and identify personnel. If you really can't recruit suitable ones, just Let the personnel contact the headhunting company. I will go to Haowan.com in a few days. Remember to keep in touch with Zhou Xin.
As for the relationship between Horizon Games and Haowan.com, keep it secret for as long as you can.In fact, it’s meaningless even if it’s made public. You belong to two companies and don’t have any affiliation.Although you can't force Haowan.com to give you good reviews, you can listen to their opinions more.The batch of editors Zhou Xin recruited were either senior game practitioners, or old gamers who had been playing games for many years. "
"Don't worry, boss, I know how to keep a distance from Haowanwang." Jin Dongjun nodded.
Of course, Jin Dongjun understands the importance of Haowan.com’s neutrality towards Horizon Games. Only by maintaining neutrality at ordinary times and favoring himself at critical moments can people believe it.Otherwise, when Haowan.com becomes the exclusive media of Horizon Games, any words it says for Horizon Games will be judged by readers with colored glasses.Moreover, since Horizon Games has not established a formal market research team, Jin Dongjun is happy to communicate with Haowan.com.The editors of Haowan.com belong to senior players, while their users are ordinary players. Maintaining a close relationship with Haowan.com basically understands the needs and ideas of domestic players.
"You are finally going back to Nanhu Province!" After returning home, Lu Xiaohua shouted as if liberated. "Living with you is really stressful. You have to do hygiene and exercise every day. You are ten thousand times more verbose and troublesome than my father!"
"Keeping your personal and residence clean will help you maintain a good and happy state of mind, and it will also help you achieve better efficiency at work." Lin Jinqi said tirelessly, "As for fitness, don't you feel that you are energetic recently? How much? A balanced diet and proper exercise can save you a lot of money on medicine and health care products.”
"Unreasonable!" Although Lu Xiaohua said so on the lips, she still agreed in her heart.
The work pressure of a lawyer is not ordinary. As the best lawyer in a law firm, Lu Xiaohua has paid a very high price.Neurasthenia, stomach problems, fatty liver, etc., but after eating and exercising with Lin Jinqi this month, she felt much lighter.Although he has not yet gone to the hospital for a physical examination, Lu Xiaohua found that his insomnia and lack of sleep have completely disappeared, and his stomach has persisted for a month without any pain.
"By the way, remember to leave your meal chart and exercise manual, I will implement it according to the situation."
Lin Jinqi knew that Lu Xiaohua was stubborn, so he had already printed out the relevant things and compiled them into a manual.As for myself this month, because I have a dedicated fitness trainer to give me private lessons, Lin Jinqi's body line is more obvious, and the proportions are more beautiful.Especially because Lin Jinqi used to mainly run for exercise, Lin Jinqi's lower body and upper body were a little uncoordinated, but under the training of boxing exercises, Lin Jinqi's upper body muscles were also trained.As for the skill of judo, Lin Jinqi has achieved something.Although Lin Jinqi didn't take the Duan exam, Lin Jinqi's master estimated that Lin Jinqi's judo should be equivalent to a second-dan player, and he can wear a black belt.
In addition to learning fitness and self-defense skills, Lin Jinqi also has another purpose in learning judo, which is to hone his temperament.After all, judo beginners learn to take falls, and it is very common for masters and brothers to fall dozens of times a day.The reason why many people can't stand judo learning is that being thrown every day is a shameful thing, and although the ground where judo is performed is protected, and the masters and brothers also have skills, it is okay to be bruised all over the body before they have mastered the falling skills. What a strange thing.
People are social animals with self-esteem. If they are always thrown, many people will lose face.But the training methods of judo are also here. Only when you let go of your dignity can you win more respect.There is no respect for no reason in the world, only respect for the strong.Before you become a strong person, you are not qualified to ask others to respect you.Lin Jinqi felt that his growth was too smooth, so he thought of using judo practice to educate himself about some setbacks.Why some people can "grow up overnight", because setbacks will force you to grow up.Those who can't grow up can only be reduced to the most humble existence, and only those who stand up are qualified to face the future.
When he arrived in late August, Lin Jinqi returned to Nanhu Province by plane.This time, Lin Jinqi didn't bother anyone. After coming out of Xiangzhang Airport, he took the airport bus to the long-distance bus station, then changed to a long-distance bus and returned to Shuangxing City.
After staying at home for less than two days, it was time for the start of Qingfeng High School's sophomore year. Lin Jinqi rushed to Qingfeng County one day early as usual.Papa Lin drove Mama Lin and Jinqi Lin to Qingfeng High School. The school gate of Qingfeng High School was being decorated, because in two weeks it would be the day for freshmen to enter the school.
On the honor rolls on both sides of the school gate, on the left is an overview of the results of this year's college entrance examination of Qingfeng High School, and also lists the names of students who were admitted to various prestigious schools; on the right are the photos and names of several students who were admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University , as well as Lin Jinqi's photos and introduction.The seven seniors who were admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University accounted for half of the wall of honor on the right, and the other half was a photo of Lin Jinqi wearing the gold medal of the International Mathematical Olympiad and holding the award certificate.
"Son, your school made your photo so big!" Mother Lin said in surprise.
And there are also three banners hanging on the school gate, one is to congratulate Qingfeng High School on the number of undergraduates who have passed the undergraduate course and the rate of re-students; one is to celebrate XX and other graduates who have been admitted to Tsinghua University; It's Lin Jinqi who got the IMO gold medal.It is no wonder that the school attaches so much importance to Lin Jinqi's achievement. It is really the first time that this international math Olympic gold medal has been won.
Entering the school gate is even more exaggerated. In the hall of the administration building, there are flower baskets sent by many units. In addition, there are congratulatory messages from the provincial, city and county governments, expressing their praise for Lin Jinqi's IMO gold medal and congratulations to Qingfeng High school teaching is recognized.
"I'm a little embarrassed." Lin Jinqi, whose soul was already an old man, huddled in the passenger seat.
Papa Lin drove the car to the building where Lin Jinqi was renting, and the three of them took their luggage upstairs.Since the room was unoccupied for a summer vacation, Mother Lin and Lin Jinqi started to clean it.Lin Jinqi's bedding and clothes were packed by Lin's mother at the end of last semester, and she used the compression packing tool recommended by Liu Xing.Since the clothes and bedding are vacuum packed, it saves a lot of space.
After the clothes and bedding were taken out, Lin Jinqi threw the underwear and socks in the washing machine and soaked them in laundry disinfectant to clean them, and the rest were taken to the roof to expose to the sun.Because it's only ten o'clock in the morning, Mother Lin told her to take it away after the sun goes down.As for the clothes in the washing machine, let's dry them tomorrow.
After tidying up, Lin's father called the head teacher, Mr. Huang, to have dinner together.Hearing that it was Lin Jinqi's parents meeting, Teacher Huang naturally agreed.
During lunch, Teacher Huang praised Lin Jinqi for his style, and then asked: "Are you planning to continue participating in the number Olympics? Or are you going to go to Wuao?" Teacher Huang knew that after forcing Lin Jinqi to make a choice However, Lin Jinqi did not leave the school's Olympic training team, so Teacher Huang asked this question.
"It doesn't make any sense to take the counting exam again. I still plan to take the Wuao exam." Lin Jinqi replied truthfully.There is no way, there is still a milestone task related to Wu'ao in the system, of course Lin Jinqi can't give up.Lin Jinqi thought for a while and then asked, "Mr. Huang, if I want to participate in the new thinking composition competition, do you think it's okay?"
Of course, Mr. Huang knows about the New Thinking Composition Competition, which is also a good way to brush up on college.Although the rematch of the New Thinking Composition Contest is scheduled during the winter vacation, it will generally not affect Wuao's schedule.But the problem is that it still has a certain impact on Wu'ao's early preparations.But thinking of Lin Jinqi's learning ability and time management ability, Teacher Huang still agreed with some caution.
"The New Thinking Composition Contest is a rematch around the Spring Festival, which will basically not affect Wu'ao's preliminary competition, so if you want to participate, I have no objection. But I hope you will not delay Wu'ao's test preparation because of writing, After all, you should plan to choose science in the second semester of your second year of high school, right? Science majors don’t place so much emphasis on the new thinking composition competition, so don’t lose the big because of small things. But you already have the IMO gold medal, and the attractiveness of the IPhO medal is only so high .”
After having lunch with the class teacher, Father Lin and Mother Lin took their leave of course, while Lin Jinqi went back to the room to rest.Lin Jinqi called Liu Xing and Long Yuan before coming to school, but Liu Xing said that she would come to school by car after lunch, and Long Yuan even said that she would be driven to school by her father after dinner.
A bit bored, Lin Jinqi started to check the news online, and at the same time upgraded the Beauty Genie to version 1.1, and then Lin Jinqi sent this program to his little uncle.Uncle Lin's Times Pioneer Internet Cafe has almost finished setting up, and he planned to start a trial operation a week before the start of school, so he urged Lin Jinqi for a few days.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the scorching sun finally became milder, and Lin Jinqi opened the curtains.There is no air conditioner in the house, so Lin Jinqi bought two fans, a floor fan to put next to the bed, and a desk fan to put on the desk.Because the temperature at noon was too high, Lin Jinqi had to wipe the room with a mop until it was wet.Even so, it dries out in less than half an hour.Fortunately, Lin Jinqi froze himself some ice cubes in the refrigerator, which was used to cool down his mint lemon honey water.Although Lin Jinqi doesn't drink ice water, it is quite difficult to let it cool naturally at the current temperature, so Lin Jinqi made some ice cubes, so that he can mix some ice cubes into it when he wants to drink warm water.
Lin Jinqi, who was so hot that he only wore underwear, turned from his room to the living room. When he was about to drink honey water, he suddenly heard the sound of a key opening the door. Lin Jinqi was so scared that he ran back to his room and closed the door.If it's just Liu Xing, he doesn't care.The two even went to the public bathroom together when they were taking exams and training camps outside, so naturally they didn't mind each other wearing only underwear.What Lin Jinqi was worried about was that if Liu Xing came with his mother, his appearance would be too unserious.
"Lin Jinqi, what are you doing? Why did you hide as soon as I came in?" Liu Xing naturally saw Lin Jinqi, so he asked.
After confirming that Liu Xing was the only one, Lin Jinqi opened the door, "I'm afraid that Auntie will come with you."
"So after making sure that it's only me, you don't care about wearing underwear?" Liu Xing raised his eyebrows.He looked at Lin Jinqi, and suddenly said, "Have you grown taller again? And your muscles are getting stronger and stronger, I'm a little envious."
"I'm sorry, I grew to 178 centimeters during the summer vacation, and I think I can break through 180 centimeters before the winter vacation." Lin Jinqi laughed.He is now in the golden period of height development. As long as nutrition and exercise keep up, there will be no problem in growing another 5 to 10 centimeters. "See, eight pack abs, and this beautiful mermaid line. When I went to the pool, a group of girls went crazy for me."
"Hehe." Liu Xing laughed awkwardly, "Have you cleaned up the room?" Liu Xing dragged his suitcase into the room, and Lin Jinqi followed behind him.When Liu Xing was packing his luggage, he found that the bedding in the room was missing.So he asked, "Did you help me dry out the bedding? It's really troublesome for you." Liu Xing suddenly found a small bottle, "I don't know if you like the fermented bean sauce made by my grandma.—— By the way, there is also hot sauce." Liu Xing dug out another bottle.
Black bean sauce and hot sauce are two kinds of homemade sauces that many farmers in Qingfeng County will make.The bean sauce in Qingfeng County has a special smell of moldy beans, but it tastes like stinky tofu and has a unique flavor.As for the hot sauce in Qingfeng County, it used to be a tribute, but now it is also a signature agricultural and sideline product of Qingfeng County.
The hot sauces in Qingfeng County are all made in the summer. As for the types and proportions of raw peppers, each family has its own secrets, and few are the same.The most special thing is that the chili sauce in Qingfeng County will add a certain proportion of wheat, so there will be maltose produced by wheat mixed into the chili sauce.Therefore, the hot sauce in Qingfeng County is not particularly spicy, but has a hint of sweetness on the contrary.However, the degree of sweetness must be controlled, otherwise it will become sweet and spicy sauce if it is too sweet, which is not liked by many people in the spicy Nanhu Province; but if the sweetness is too light, it will not be able to suppress the spicy and salty taste , so the chili sauce is either too spicy or deadly salty, which is simply a more failed existence than sweet chili sauce.
Grandma Lin also makes a lot of soybean sauce and hot sauce every summer, but this summer Lin Jinqi didn't stay at Grandma Lin's house for a few days, so she forgot about it.Lin Jinqi took the two bottles that Liu Xing handed over, opened them and smelled them, and found that they were a little different from those made by his grandmother.But this is also understandable, after all, Liu Xing's grandmother was born and raised in Qingfeng County, and his own grandmother was married from Zhaoyang County next door, so there must be some techniques and seasonings integrated into the next county.But whether it was done by Grandma Lin or Grandma Liu, Lin Jinqi coveted it.
"Your saliva is about to fall!" Liu Xing reminded after packing his luggage.
At this time, Liu Xing also took off his shirt because the weather was too hot. Unlike Lin Jinqi's wheat complexion, Liu Xing, who doesn't go out much, naturally still has fair skin.Although Liu Xing did not insist on exercising every day like Lin Jinqi, young people still consume faster, so they still have the muscles that belong to young people.Not so obvious, but some lines can still be seen.
"How? I also insist on running at home."
Lin Jinqi patted Liu Xing's belly. Fortunately, there was no fat, but he didn't develop much muscle.Lin Jinqi complained: "I don't believe that if a summer vacation exercise only
After seeing the Horizon Game face-to-face with the standard digital, the attitudes of the major game companies towards the Horizon Game have also changed very ambiguously.On the bright side, it seems that Horizon Games can’t find a few partners outside of South China who can talk to it; but in the dark, both manufacturers in East China and North China show their favor to Horizon Games through their respective relationships in South China. .In addition to being dissatisfied with the standard digital, this kind of show of favor is more about how the horizon game deals with the black hand of the standard digital.
After Lin Jinqi, Lu Xiaohua and Jin Dongjun knew about these undercurrents, they made the method public after a little discussion.This method of separating the login server from the game server can't be hidden for too long. Instead of letting people crack it later, it's better to be open and public to circle a wave of favorability.Besides, the real solution is Lin Jinqi's defense spirit. This hardware firewall is extra encrypted, so there is no worry about being cracked by outsiders at all.
And when Horizon Games announced its own response plan, the technical directors of the game company suddenly realized.This method looks simple, but it is indeed one of the best solutions to deal with flood attacks.Now as long as there is another firewall solution, everything will be fine, but where is the appropriate firewall?Everyone soon understood that Horizon Games still had something hidden in its hands, but the major game companies were embarrassed to pursue it after a wry smile. This kind of thing related to the security of their core servers would definitely not be shared. You can't be so "selfless".
Right and wrong in the game circle are naturally difficult to affect the players. For college and middle school students who are bored in the summer vacation, the appearance of "God King" allows everyone to find an outlet for their emotions.Compared with most games of this era, "God King" has too many leading concepts.
For example, "God King" has a complete world view and background story. You must know that this is the standard configuration of stand-alone games. Online games have never thought that their games should have a story.Also because of this, one thing that stand-alone players can't see online game players is that online games don't have their own stories. The world view of "God King" is very complete, and the background story is also very detailed.
Originally, Lin Jinqi included five main stories of "God King" in the game planning book, and each story was worth a million words.At the suggestion of Kim Dong-joon, the website of "God King" published these five stories by itself.However, Jin Dongjun sold a small mind, only players who registered for the Horizon account can do it. As a result, this move led Jin Dongjun to introduce many non-game pure fantasy fans, which made Jin Dongjun a little bit dumbfounded later.
In addition, Lu Xiaohua took these five books to find a local publishing house in Shenzhen. After the publishing house reviewed and proofread them, he was actually qualified for publishing.Lu Xiaohua naturally gave Lin Jinqi the right to author the book, and published it under Lin Jinqi's real name. In addition to the regular version of "God King", there are also so-called hardcover and deluxe commemorative editions.
However, the publishing house was not optimistic about the latter two versions, so Lu Xiaohua simply took these two versions back to the company and planned to sell them as game peripherals.However, to the surprise of the publishing house and Horizon Games Company, after going through three internal betas and one public beta, the game "King of Gods" became a hit game as predicted by Lin Jinqi, and the game of the same name naturally followed suit. crazy.Even though piracy was flying everywhere at this time, and even though more than half a year had passed by this time, "God King" actually got the No.6 good result in the annual bestseller list.The hardcover edition and deluxe commemorative edition are regarded as the best peripherals of "King of Gods". To a large extent, players who love to play games are fans of fantasy and fantasy literature. Isn't it normal to buy this peripheral to have a look thing?
In addition to the world view and background story, "God King" is considered to be the first game in the game circle that attaches great importance to "eyeball marketing".After all, the birth of online games is related to a group of technical geeks. How much can you expect from the aesthetics of technical nerds?Looking at the programmers of later generations, it seems that they don't know other clothing brands except Uniqlo.If the tough style of MMORPG games like "Legend" is reasonable, why is even an online game like "Stone Age" that takes the cute line so scary?
In "God King", the game screen has made a qualitative leap in line with the improvement of everyone's hardware level.And in order to allow low-configuration players to enjoy the game, Lin Jinqi also deliberately allows players to adjust the game quality on the operation interface.This small change can also be regarded as a small invention of online games. Many game companies have discovered that it is so simple to solve the contradiction between high-configuration and low-configuration players.In addition, the emergence of Lin Jinqi's new concept of novice village, martial arts residence, and life occupation not only expands the fun of the game for players, but also greatly improves the stickiness and activity of the game.
In addition to the unanimous praise of "King of God" from the players, the praise of "King of God" from major game media made Lin Jinqi feel a little shy after reading it.In the eyes of some game media, "King of God" is an epoch-making game, an online game that should not appear in this era; at the same time, "King of God" is a milestone online game, because "King of God" established the status of online games in the future. many standards.
Taking advantage of the fact that "King of Gods" first invited internal testing, Haowan.com also released their first game video program, "Evaluation Pioneer".Although it is still difficult to watch high-definition videos online, it is enough to make a small preview version to attract players to download.Now the average daily active users of Haowan.com is around 10, and the number of people invited for the internal test of "The King of God" is only 1000, so the downloads of evaluation videos about "The King of God" are naturally very amazing.
The two-week closed beta of the game is coming to an end soon, and the official website has begun to distribute questionnaires to the mailboxes corresponding to the players participating in the test.As long as the user feedbacks the questionnaire, the next test can continue to get the activation code; at the same time, some users who answer seriously can also get the peripherals of "God King", such as: posters, original art collections, namesake, etc.
The official store of "The King of Gods" now sells original art collections, key chains and other peripherals. Lin Jinqi knew that the pirates would definitely not let go of the many images of "The King of Gods", so he simply found someone to contact the manufacturer to produce. .Lin Jinqi divides the peripherals into regular editions and limited editions. The price of the regular edition is relatively cheap, and it is basically positioned at the price of daily consumer goods; as for the limited edition, it is aimed at core players, so the price must be different.However, in addition to the exquisite packaging, the limited edition also has a notarized collection book.
"Mr. Lin, we have received a total of more than 900 feedback forms this time, and the players' enthusiasm for feedback is very high." Jin Dongjun was also very excited when he reported.
If you are willing to fill out the feedback form, it means that the player's love for the game is quite high, and they can basically be classified as the core players of the game.A game without large-scale publicity in the early stage can immediately have more than 900 core players, and the conversion rate of core players is as high as 90%.Although this data does not have much reference value, it does not prevent Jin Dongjun from being happy now.
"The biggest complaint from players is that our operation is a bit difficult. Some players suggested that we should develop auxiliary tools for the game? Mr. Lin, what do you think?"
To put it bluntly, game auxiliary tools are cheats, and cheats can be divided into "malicious cheats" and "non-malicious cheats"; they can also be divided into "plugins" and "internal cheats".
The difference between "external cheats" and "internal cheats" is that "internal cheats" are officially developed by the game and embedded in the game.As for the "internal hacking", players who support it think that it lowers the operating threshold of the game, which will help everyone enjoy the game more easily; but players who oppose it think that this violates the essence of the game, and it is better to let the machine play the game than go to the movies by yourself. up.
As for the difference between "malicious cheats" and "non-malicious cheats" is that "malicious cheats" will use the package program to deceive or forcibly modify server data, and the so-called "one-click upgrade to ninety levels" is a terrible situation; while "non-malicious cheats" "Basically, it is a keyboard and mouse macro operation represented by the button wizard, which simplifies the original complicated operation into a few buttons.
"The development of auxiliary tools is unnecessary. One of the future guidelines of Horizon Game Company is to never produce so-called official game auxiliary tools." Lin Jinqi said.
In Lin Jinqi's view, the use of auxiliary tools is actually the same as cheating in exams and plagiarism in writing. There is only a difference between "yes" and "no", not "more" and "less".Lin Jinqi knew that he alone couldn't stop the character of Chinese server players who love cheating. After all, Chinese people are born with the character of being good at finding loopholes and taking shortcuts, but at least he can't condone such things.
"Although it is impossible to develop auxiliary tools, I suggest that we add a combo system to the operation interface. Players are encouraged to combine some common operations together to realize the one-click opening function."
Lin Jinqi's combo system is actually somewhat similar to the hotkey system, and it can be regarded as a game aid of some kind.But Lin Jinqi thinks that at least players need to use their brains when using the combo system, and the combo system has unlimited possibilities, which is also a kind of fun in the game.Thinking about it, in order to invent their own combos, there must be many players who have to work hard on the game operation.Although this cannot eliminate all "lazy players", it can at least make most players less "lazy".
"'Combined move system'?" Jin Dongjun thought about Lin Jinqi's words for a while, and knew that this was a workaround.However, the "combo system" is still much lighter than the omnipotent "game aids", which is roughly equivalent to electronic cigarettes and real cigarettes.
"This development is not difficult, and we can realize it in the next internal beta version. Apart from this issue, the most concerned issue for players now is how to sell our game cards? Whether to accept payment methods such as monthly subscriptions."
The current online games are basically point card recharges and time-based payments, so many players still value whether the game has a monthly subscription and the monthly subscription price.Because for the core players, they spend more than eight hours a day in the game. If they pay by the hour, these core players probably can’t even afford instant noodles.Therefore, the monthly subscription payment method is actually aimed at core players, so the payment amount and monthly subscription fee have become a matter of great concern to many players.
"Director Jin, do you think we should change to a different payment method?" Lin Jinqi suddenly remembered Shanda's payment method that opened the prosperity of online games in the future. Although this method has also been criticized, Lin Jinqi thinks that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
"Go back to selling activation codes for stand-alone games? Although we can verify the correctness of the activation codes through the server, how much is the price? Will our version update be free in the future? Or do we have to pay again? How to price the re-payment? "Jin Dongjun was taken aback by his boss's idea. You must know that this method of time payment is one of the roots of the online game industry.It is impossible to pay for online games at one time like stand-alone games, because online games require game servers, which means huge operation and maintenance costs.
"How can we pay a one-time payment like a stand-alone game?" Lin Jinqi felt that Jin Dongjun was thinking in the wrong direction. "I mean, what if we no longer charge according to the length of the game? It means that players can play our games for free."
"Boss, did you catch a cold today? Isn't your thinking too...whimsical?" Jin Dongjun looked at Lin Jinqi with wide eyes.
If Lin Jinqi wasn't his big boss, he would have opened his mouth to scold Lin Jinqi for his head being caught by the door.The predecessors of online games finally invented the time payment model, which made online games have their own profit point, and now that my boss actually plans to play games for free, then this company is still dead?Do you make money by selling game peripherals?
"Director Jin, didn't I discuss the issue of paying players and free players with you? According to the original design of our game, the point cards recharged by players can also buy game props except for the length of the paid game. My current thinking is, If we make the game time free, does it mean that more players will enter the game? Since there are a large number of game players, does it mean that more players will recharge and pay to buy items?" Lin Jinqi Said, "We just need to adjust the economic system of the game and sell some commonly used items.
Rare props and top-quality equipment can only be obtained through the game, but commonly used equipment, such as red medicine and blue medicine, and upgraded versions of some life occupation props need to be purchased for a fee.And do you remember the so-called 'Avatar System' in our game?This concept is actually derived from the Red Diamond system of Penguin Chat.The clothing of the virtual system has no attributes, it is purely good-looking. "
"Play games for free? Charge for items?" Now Jin Dongjun was a little confused.
In-game props are actually paid for, but basically they sell some red and blue medicines, because the consumption of these medicines is too high, and sometimes the output in the game is not enough, so they are simply sold.However, most of the payment methods in the game mall are game gold coins, not recharged game points.Now what Lin Jinqi means is that game points and game gold coins are common, and there must be certain items that can only be purchased with game points.
"If it does not destroy the balance of the game, I think item payment may be better. But the question is, do so many players pay for the 'virtual image system'? Also, which items are specially paid for by game points Woolen cloth?"
"Director Jin, do you know how much Penguin has earned from the red diamonds? I'm a shareholder of their family, do you think I can't see their financial reports?" Lin Jinqi said with a smile, "Although I can't disclose how much money I earned. Money, but it is definitely worth our follow-up. Director Jin, you should know the five levels of human needs, right?
To put it bluntly, the game is to meet the social needs and respect needs of the players, and our avatar is to meet the players' self-realization needs.In fact, isn’t it just for fun when players spend money to play games?If he is happy while gaining the admiration of others, wouldn't it be more stimulating for him to pay?By the way, remember to change the name of 'virtual image system'.Let’s just call it everyday image. "Lin Jinqi thought for a while, and felt that although this name is not very pleasant, it should be okay for temporary use.
"As for the exclusive game point props, we uphold the principle of high-end props and rare props. Because the proportion of these props is not high in daily use, that is, some local rich players need them, so we will charge local rich players here. But Do not sell props such as doubling experience. In the future, when we launch expansion packs, players can get some of them for free and then sell some of them.”
"No problem, we can basically implement these in the next version." Jin Dongjun looked at the report, "The other problems are minor problems, and we can solve them here. Take a look at the feedback form, our I will also sort out the items and prices in the item mall as soon as possible. Boss, is there anything else you need to tell me?"
"I have two things to talk about here." Lin Jinqi said, "The first thing is how is the development progress of our three new games? I saw the game plan and confirmed it with you. It should be in development now." Is it staged? I will go back for about a week, because my second year of high school starts relatively early, so I don’t have time to supervise your progress in the future. The second thing is that I plan to use that pure casual game, "Bang Bang Tang" was handed over to Penguin to operate. You also know that we don't have any allies in some circles, so I had to drag Penguin down to be our allies."
"The development progress of the turn-based game "Happy Westward Journey" has reached 30%, and the demo can be played, and you can roughly experience the gameplay in the game. Because the gameplay of the whole game is based on the traditional turn-based stand-alone game's "stepping on mines" It is not very difficult to develop because of the method of "fighting one by one". The development progress of the side-scrolling game "The Story of the Brave" has reached 25%. The current problem is mainly in the design of moves, but it is not particularly troublesome.
As for "Bang Bang Tang", we have completed a trial map, if you need it, we can arrange a trial play. "Jin Dongjun replied. "With the assistance of the Horizon game development engine, we can build games much faster.The difficulty of our future game development is mainly the planning before the game is built, and the detail optimization after the build is completed.On the contrary, the construction itself is no longer a problem. "
"It's fine to play the DEMO, let's talk about it when we have the α version." Lin Jinqi said, "The recruitment of game planning and game testing is imminent, and you should also remember to supervise and identify personnel. If you really can't recruit suitable ones, just Let the personnel contact the headhunting company. I will go to Haowan.com in a few days. Remember to keep in touch with Zhou Xin.
As for the relationship between Horizon Games and Haowan.com, keep it secret for as long as you can.In fact, it’s meaningless even if it’s made public. You belong to two companies and don’t have any affiliation.Although you can't force Haowan.com to give you good reviews, you can listen to their opinions more.The batch of editors Zhou Xin recruited were either senior game practitioners, or old gamers who had been playing games for many years. "
"Don't worry, boss, I know how to keep a distance from Haowanwang." Jin Dongjun nodded.
Of course, Jin Dongjun understands the importance of Haowan.com’s neutrality towards Horizon Games. Only by maintaining neutrality at ordinary times and favoring himself at critical moments can people believe it.Otherwise, when Haowan.com becomes the exclusive media of Horizon Games, any words it says for Horizon Games will be judged by readers with colored glasses.Moreover, since Horizon Games has not established a formal market research team, Jin Dongjun is happy to communicate with Haowan.com.The editors of Haowan.com belong to senior players, while their users are ordinary players. Maintaining a close relationship with Haowan.com basically understands the needs and ideas of domestic players.
"You are finally going back to Nanhu Province!" After returning home, Lu Xiaohua shouted as if liberated. "Living with you is really stressful. You have to do hygiene and exercise every day. You are ten thousand times more verbose and troublesome than my father!"
"Keeping your personal and residence clean will help you maintain a good and happy state of mind, and it will also help you achieve better efficiency at work." Lin Jinqi said tirelessly, "As for fitness, don't you feel that you are energetic recently? How much? A balanced diet and proper exercise can save you a lot of money on medicine and health care products.”
"Unreasonable!" Although Lu Xiaohua said so on the lips, she still agreed in her heart.
The work pressure of a lawyer is not ordinary. As the best lawyer in a law firm, Lu Xiaohua has paid a very high price.Neurasthenia, stomach problems, fatty liver, etc., but after eating and exercising with Lin Jinqi this month, she felt much lighter.Although he has not yet gone to the hospital for a physical examination, Lu Xiaohua found that his insomnia and lack of sleep have completely disappeared, and his stomach has persisted for a month without any pain.
"By the way, remember to leave your meal chart and exercise manual, I will implement it according to the situation."
Lin Jinqi knew that Lu Xiaohua was stubborn, so he had already printed out the relevant things and compiled them into a manual.As for myself this month, because I have a dedicated fitness trainer to give me private lessons, Lin Jinqi's body line is more obvious, and the proportions are more beautiful.Especially because Lin Jinqi used to mainly run for exercise, Lin Jinqi's lower body and upper body were a little uncoordinated, but under the training of boxing exercises, Lin Jinqi's upper body muscles were also trained.As for the skill of judo, Lin Jinqi has achieved something.Although Lin Jinqi didn't take the Duan exam, Lin Jinqi's master estimated that Lin Jinqi's judo should be equivalent to a second-dan player, and he can wear a black belt.
In addition to learning fitness and self-defense skills, Lin Jinqi also has another purpose in learning judo, which is to hone his temperament.After all, judo beginners learn to take falls, and it is very common for masters and brothers to fall dozens of times a day.The reason why many people can't stand judo learning is that being thrown every day is a shameful thing, and although the ground where judo is performed is protected, and the masters and brothers also have skills, it is okay to be bruised all over the body before they have mastered the falling skills. What a strange thing.
People are social animals with self-esteem. If they are always thrown, many people will lose face.But the training methods of judo are also here. Only when you let go of your dignity can you win more respect.There is no respect for no reason in the world, only respect for the strong.Before you become a strong person, you are not qualified to ask others to respect you.Lin Jinqi felt that his growth was too smooth, so he thought of using judo practice to educate himself about some setbacks.Why some people can "grow up overnight", because setbacks will force you to grow up.Those who can't grow up can only be reduced to the most humble existence, and only those who stand up are qualified to face the future.
When he arrived in late August, Lin Jinqi returned to Nanhu Province by plane.This time, Lin Jinqi didn't bother anyone. After coming out of Xiangzhang Airport, he took the airport bus to the long-distance bus station, then changed to a long-distance bus and returned to Shuangxing City.
After staying at home for less than two days, it was time for the start of Qingfeng High School's sophomore year. Lin Jinqi rushed to Qingfeng County one day early as usual.Papa Lin drove Mama Lin and Jinqi Lin to Qingfeng High School. The school gate of Qingfeng High School was being decorated, because in two weeks it would be the day for freshmen to enter the school.
On the honor rolls on both sides of the school gate, on the left is an overview of the results of this year's college entrance examination of Qingfeng High School, and also lists the names of students who were admitted to various prestigious schools; on the right are the photos and names of several students who were admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University , as well as Lin Jinqi's photos and introduction.The seven seniors who were admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University accounted for half of the wall of honor on the right, and the other half was a photo of Lin Jinqi wearing the gold medal of the International Mathematical Olympiad and holding the award certificate.
"Son, your school made your photo so big!" Mother Lin said in surprise.
And there are also three banners hanging on the school gate, one is to congratulate Qingfeng High School on the number of undergraduates who have passed the undergraduate course and the rate of re-students; one is to celebrate XX and other graduates who have been admitted to Tsinghua University; It's Lin Jinqi who got the IMO gold medal.It is no wonder that the school attaches so much importance to Lin Jinqi's achievement. It is really the first time that this international math Olympic gold medal has been won.
Entering the school gate is even more exaggerated. In the hall of the administration building, there are flower baskets sent by many units. In addition, there are congratulatory messages from the provincial, city and county governments, expressing their praise for Lin Jinqi's IMO gold medal and congratulations to Qingfeng High school teaching is recognized.
"I'm a little embarrassed." Lin Jinqi, whose soul was already an old man, huddled in the passenger seat.
Papa Lin drove the car to the building where Lin Jinqi was renting, and the three of them took their luggage upstairs.Since the room was unoccupied for a summer vacation, Mother Lin and Lin Jinqi started to clean it.Lin Jinqi's bedding and clothes were packed by Lin's mother at the end of last semester, and she used the compression packing tool recommended by Liu Xing.Since the clothes and bedding are vacuum packed, it saves a lot of space.
After the clothes and bedding were taken out, Lin Jinqi threw the underwear and socks in the washing machine and soaked them in laundry disinfectant to clean them, and the rest were taken to the roof to expose to the sun.Because it's only ten o'clock in the morning, Mother Lin told her to take it away after the sun goes down.As for the clothes in the washing machine, let's dry them tomorrow.
After tidying up, Lin's father called the head teacher, Mr. Huang, to have dinner together.Hearing that it was Lin Jinqi's parents meeting, Teacher Huang naturally agreed.
During lunch, Teacher Huang praised Lin Jinqi for his style, and then asked: "Are you planning to continue participating in the number Olympics? Or are you going to go to Wuao?" Teacher Huang knew that after forcing Lin Jinqi to make a choice However, Lin Jinqi did not leave the school's Olympic training team, so Teacher Huang asked this question.
"It doesn't make any sense to take the counting exam again. I still plan to take the Wuao exam." Lin Jinqi replied truthfully.There is no way, there is still a milestone task related to Wu'ao in the system, of course Lin Jinqi can't give up.Lin Jinqi thought for a while and then asked, "Mr. Huang, if I want to participate in the new thinking composition competition, do you think it's okay?"
Of course, Mr. Huang knows about the New Thinking Composition Competition, which is also a good way to brush up on college.Although the rematch of the New Thinking Composition Contest is scheduled during the winter vacation, it will generally not affect Wuao's schedule.But the problem is that it still has a certain impact on Wu'ao's early preparations.But thinking of Lin Jinqi's learning ability and time management ability, Teacher Huang still agreed with some caution.
"The New Thinking Composition Contest is a rematch around the Spring Festival, which will basically not affect Wu'ao's preliminary competition, so if you want to participate, I have no objection. But I hope you will not delay Wu'ao's test preparation because of writing, After all, you should plan to choose science in the second semester of your second year of high school, right? Science majors don’t place so much emphasis on the new thinking composition competition, so don’t lose the big because of small things. But you already have the IMO gold medal, and the attractiveness of the IPhO medal is only so high .”
After having lunch with the class teacher, Father Lin and Mother Lin took their leave of course, while Lin Jinqi went back to the room to rest.Lin Jinqi called Liu Xing and Long Yuan before coming to school, but Liu Xing said that she would come to school by car after lunch, and Long Yuan even said that she would be driven to school by her father after dinner.
A bit bored, Lin Jinqi started to check the news online, and at the same time upgraded the Beauty Genie to version 1.1, and then Lin Jinqi sent this program to his little uncle.Uncle Lin's Times Pioneer Internet Cafe has almost finished setting up, and he planned to start a trial operation a week before the start of school, so he urged Lin Jinqi for a few days.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the scorching sun finally became milder, and Lin Jinqi opened the curtains.There is no air conditioner in the house, so Lin Jinqi bought two fans, a floor fan to put next to the bed, and a desk fan to put on the desk.Because the temperature at noon was too high, Lin Jinqi had to wipe the room with a mop until it was wet.Even so, it dries out in less than half an hour.Fortunately, Lin Jinqi froze himself some ice cubes in the refrigerator, which was used to cool down his mint lemon honey water.Although Lin Jinqi doesn't drink ice water, it is quite difficult to let it cool naturally at the current temperature, so Lin Jinqi made some ice cubes, so that he can mix some ice cubes into it when he wants to drink warm water.
Lin Jinqi, who was so hot that he only wore underwear, turned from his room to the living room. When he was about to drink honey water, he suddenly heard the sound of a key opening the door. Lin Jinqi was so scared that he ran back to his room and closed the door.If it's just Liu Xing, he doesn't care.The two even went to the public bathroom together when they were taking exams and training camps outside, so naturally they didn't mind each other wearing only underwear.What Lin Jinqi was worried about was that if Liu Xing came with his mother, his appearance would be too unserious.
"Lin Jinqi, what are you doing? Why did you hide as soon as I came in?" Liu Xing naturally saw Lin Jinqi, so he asked.
After confirming that Liu Xing was the only one, Lin Jinqi opened the door, "I'm afraid that Auntie will come with you."
"So after making sure that it's only me, you don't care about wearing underwear?" Liu Xing raised his eyebrows.He looked at Lin Jinqi, and suddenly said, "Have you grown taller again? And your muscles are getting stronger and stronger, I'm a little envious."
"I'm sorry, I grew to 178 centimeters during the summer vacation, and I think I can break through 180 centimeters before the winter vacation." Lin Jinqi laughed.He is now in the golden period of height development. As long as nutrition and exercise keep up, there will be no problem in growing another 5 to 10 centimeters. "See, eight pack abs, and this beautiful mermaid line. When I went to the pool, a group of girls went crazy for me."
"Hehe." Liu Xing laughed awkwardly, "Have you cleaned up the room?" Liu Xing dragged his suitcase into the room, and Lin Jinqi followed behind him.When Liu Xing was packing his luggage, he found that the bedding in the room was missing.So he asked, "Did you help me dry out the bedding? It's really troublesome for you." Liu Xing suddenly found a small bottle, "I don't know if you like the fermented bean sauce made by my grandma.—— By the way, there is also hot sauce." Liu Xing dug out another bottle.
Black bean sauce and hot sauce are two kinds of homemade sauces that many farmers in Qingfeng County will make.The bean sauce in Qingfeng County has a special smell of moldy beans, but it tastes like stinky tofu and has a unique flavor.As for the hot sauce in Qingfeng County, it used to be a tribute, but now it is also a signature agricultural and sideline product of Qingfeng County.
The hot sauces in Qingfeng County are all made in the summer. As for the types and proportions of raw peppers, each family has its own secrets, and few are the same.The most special thing is that the chili sauce in Qingfeng County will add a certain proportion of wheat, so there will be maltose produced by wheat mixed into the chili sauce.Therefore, the hot sauce in Qingfeng County is not particularly spicy, but has a hint of sweetness on the contrary.However, the degree of sweetness must be controlled, otherwise it will become sweet and spicy sauce if it is too sweet, which is not liked by many people in the spicy Nanhu Province; but if the sweetness is too light, it will not be able to suppress the spicy and salty taste , so the chili sauce is either too spicy or deadly salty, which is simply a more failed existence than sweet chili sauce.
Grandma Lin also makes a lot of soybean sauce and hot sauce every summer, but this summer Lin Jinqi didn't stay at Grandma Lin's house for a few days, so she forgot about it.Lin Jinqi took the two bottles that Liu Xing handed over, opened them and smelled them, and found that they were a little different from those made by his grandmother.But this is also understandable, after all, Liu Xing's grandmother was born and raised in Qingfeng County, and his own grandmother was married from Zhaoyang County next door, so there must be some techniques and seasonings integrated into the next county.But whether it was done by Grandma Lin or Grandma Liu, Lin Jinqi coveted it.
"Your saliva is about to fall!" Liu Xing reminded after packing his luggage.
At this time, Liu Xing also took off his shirt because the weather was too hot. Unlike Lin Jinqi's wheat complexion, Liu Xing, who doesn't go out much, naturally still has fair skin.Although Liu Xing did not insist on exercising every day like Lin Jinqi, young people still consume faster, so they still have the muscles that belong to young people.Not so obvious, but some lines can still be seen.
"How? I also insist on running at home."
Lin Jinqi patted Liu Xing's belly. Fortunately, there was no fat, but he didn't develop much muscle.Lin Jinqi complained: "I don't believe that if a summer vacation exercise only
