Chapter 157 Mei Fang’s painful memories

When Mei Fang came back from practicing guitar alone outside, it was already evening.

He found that Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan were sitting together to play games, which was rare. The two of them were typing on the keyboard, which was very lively.

"Oh, oh, oh, I'm going to die. Help me, help me! Help me reduce my hatred!"

Xia Yuan kept shouting and yelling carelessly while playing the game, but Lin Youxi was calm and calm throughout the whole process, and he looked like a master at first glance.

Mei Fang watched the two of them having fun, and while changing her shoes, she asked them:

"Are you two playing with poisonous milk powder or Dragon Nest?"

"Those games you mentioned are too tiring to play. This is "Rainbow Island"!"

"You're actually playing this! Have you forgotten all about the times you were deceived when playing "MapleStory"?"

Xia Yuan used to play MapleStory with Mei Fang and Lin Youxi. She liked playing so much that she asked her father to help recharge some cards.

It was the Spring Festival, and the next day I encountered a small public speaker saying that I would give away 5E adventure coins. The silly Xia Yuan happily ran to the website to receive the reward, and then the account was stolen.

Then Xia Yuan uninstalled "MapleStory" out of anger, and Mei Fang and Lin Youxi did not continue playing together.

The overall art style of "Rainbow Island" is very similar to "MapleStory", and the gameplay is also a 2D side-scrolling battle.

However, the gameplay during its initial operation was very conscientious. The props sold in the mall will basically not affect the balance of the game. Everyone can only farm monsters and play dungeons to obtain equipment.

Mei Fang stood behind Xia Yuan and watched the two of them play for a while, remembering the green years of playing MMO with Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi, and suddenly she became addicted to gaming.

"I want to play too, which district are you in?"

"Area 3, but it's too late for Al Fang to start playing now. We have already completed the novice tasks!"

"What's the matter...watch me catch up with you in a minute."

While registering an account, Mei Fang turned on his kidney machine and started dialing to pay.

Mobile payment has just emerged in 2011, so recharge for online games still relies heavily on point cards and phone payments in many cases.

To save time and convenience, Mei Fang recharged several thousand dollars in phone bills on her mobile phone, and she did not feel sorry for recharging money while playing games.

"Do you want me to give you some Rainbow Coins to get you through the newbie period?"

Lin Youxi raised her head and asked Mei Fang, but Mei Fang shook her head.

"No, I'll just go to the trading market and buy it."

Xia Yuan seemed to understand something and quickly got up and down from his position to watch Mei Fang's operation.

"Afang, you are such a little baby, why do you charge money to play as soon as you come up?"

"How can you play this kind of game without paying money? You are stupidly leveling up and slaying monsters. I will get it right in one step. We are game developers. How can we be played by other game developers and become the toys of krypton gold bosses?"

Xia Yuan pushed Mei Fang's shoulders and shook her from side to side, "A Fang, you are so boring like this. You can't appreciate the real fun of the game at all."

"Damn it, this person is selling the best Snow Girl Ice Bow. Now it only sells for 5000W rainbow coins. I remember you are an archer, Yuan Yuan. Do you want this weapon? I now have more than a billion."

When Xia Yuan heard that it was his own exclusive weapon, his eyes immediately shone with excitement.

"Let me see! Wow...the attributes are so good! I spent the entire afternoon swiping and didn't get a Snow Girl Ice Bow!"

"Do you want to? If not, I will close the transaction?"

"I want it, Al Fang! Buy it for me! Please! I'll massage your back tonight!"

Xia Yuan held Mei Fang's arm and kept acting coquettishly. Mei Fang couldn't stand this.

"Okay, okay, I'll buy it for you... Youxi, would you like to take a look at the equipment in the market to see what's missing?"

"I'll go to the market to pick it up myself. Just give me the money."

Early MMOs were really fun to play if you had money.

The players of the desperate game are also happy, and the rich bosses are also happy. Everyone trades prices with each other and enjoys the happiness of social interaction.

Until later, developers always liked to cut off free players' opportunities to buy props for free, and directly marked the prices in the mall.

It was at this point that the game slowly started to change.

All players have become slaves of developers, krypton gold machines.

Xia Yuan, Mei Fang and Lin Youxi played until about seven o'clock in the evening before they started to think about cooking.

The three of them had a clear division of labor: Mei Fang washed the rice, Xia Yuan chose the vegetables, and Lin Youxi took the spoon.

During this period, Xia Yuan kept sighing: "It would be great if we could also make a fun PC game like this."

"Let's do a terminal game..."

Mei Fang never thought about developing PC games. After all, the development of PC games requires huge investments, long team integration, high maintenance costs, and it is easy to get scolded. After the last breathing PC game was released in 2018, there are still many other games on the market.

There really aren’t many people making MMO client games anymore.

"That one looks fancy to do, but it's actually quite painful, right?"

"I mean, after all, developing such a large-scale game by yourself is really a sense of accomplishment."

Xia Yuan muttered while choosing vegetables, "If we make such a game, I will be the GM dog stooge in the game, charging money to torture the big guys every day, charging money to torture the big guys, charging as much as I want, then

How cool it is!”

"Look at your potential, are you just playing games just for this..."

"Uh-huh... That's not true. When the planners developed the game themselves, they must have fantasized about being domineering in the game and being like God."

"However, most planners don't play the games they develop themselves."

"Ah, is it true? I don't believe it."

Xia Yuan frowned and said, "If this is really the case, it can only mean that the game he makes is really rubbish."

"But if you don't even like playing the games you develop, how can you expect players to like them? In other words, what is the purpose of planning and making games like this? Are you looking for abuse?"

"Stop talking, stop talking, stop talking, wuwu..."

Xia Yuan's unintentional words triggered Mei Fang's painful memories, and the memories of his dead past life attacked him crazily.

When he was making the main plans, for a meager salary, he had been playing junk gold games that he didn't like to play.

This is very different from his childhood dream of becoming a gold medal producer like Mr. Kojima, Mr. Sakurai, or Mr. Miyazaki.

"I, I didn't say that the games made by A Fang are not fun. I have played all the small games you made, including the ones we wrote ourselves. My "King Power" has the highest number of years of survival in the circle of friends! If you don't believe me, look at my phone.

have a look……"

Mei Fang patted Xia Yuan on the shoulder with a firm and decisive expression.

"One day, we will definitely try to make a terminal game."

"To make a conscientious online game that everyone likes to play, a very conscientious online game that will never be criticized as a trashy gold-based game."

Mei Fang wants to make up for his long-standing frustration in this area, "As long as we put aside the psychological burden of making money and develop and design games for fun, it will definitely awaken everyone's love for large-scale role-playing games and protect themselves."

The promised land!"

Lin Youxi asked doubtfully: "Wake up? Don't everyone like to play MMOs now..."

"In the future! I'm talking about the future!"

"Afang is so prophetic, I'm starting to feel itchy! Afang, grow up quickly and make games for me to play!"

Everyone finished the meal together, Mei Fang was responsible for washing the dishes, and Xia Yuan cut the apple into small pieces and shared it with everyone.

She first fed Lin Youxi apples in the living room, and then ran to the kitchen to feed Mei Fang apples.

"Okay, okay... don't put it in my mouth."

"Hmph... I need to eat more fruit."

Xia Yuan reached out and stuffed an apple into Mei Fang's mouth.

"By the way, Yuanyuan, what song are you planning to sing at this Golden Autumn Art Festival?"

Xia Yuan made a silent gesture to Mei Fang.

"This time... it's a secret. I can't tell you yet."

"It's still mysterious..."

"Tch, Alfang, you are not the same."

Xia Yuan stuck out his tongue at Mei Fang, "I said you were preparing a program for the Golden Autumn Arts Festival, but I still don't know what you plan to sing, and I haven't even seen the lyrics."

"This..."

Mei Fang scratched her head, "Actually, I'm almost ready. I can play it for you tonight. If you think it's not OK, I won't sign up."

"Yes, yes!"

Xia Yuan held Mei Fang's arm and was excited, "Now that it's ready, let Youxi and I listen to it. We have been looking forward to it for a long time!"

There will be an update to the underworld later, and I still owe the leader a big update.

I recommend a new book called Miao Miao, Tokyo Supernatural Literature, which has a guide to super cute foreign wives.
Chapter completed!
