Chapter 20: Let Me See If Youve Been Playing Games!

Mei Fang vaguely sensed the worries that Xia Yuan confided in her.

But Lin Youxi has never liked dealing with adults since she was little. She was like a lively tomboy in front of her peers, but like a mute in front of adults.

Lin Youxis personality did not improve much even after she entered elementary school, except for Mei Fangs parents, who she was very familiar with because she often visited their house. Their warmth opened Lin Youxis heart, and at least she could communicate with them normally.

As for the special aversion to Xia Yuans parents

It is better to say that she realized the huge difference between her and Xia Yuans family environment.

This resentment may have started when they were unable to attend the same online class.

In the end, its all about money

Mei Fang has been contemplating this for the past three years. As an elementary student who cannot use a bank card or online payment, the only way to make money without anyone noticing seems to be playing games.

As for the game that made the most money in 2005, it was undoubtedly Fantasy Westward Journey.[1]

Fantasy Westward Journey is a turn-based game released in 2003, famous for its highly valuable economic system. There are countless real cases of buying a fantasy account for 60,000 yuan and selling it for 100,000 yuan. Even in 2022, it still has many users.

Similarly, Fantasy Westward Journey is a pay-to-play game. Mei Fang, in his previous life, didnt have money to go to internet cafes or top up game cards, so he played another similar but equally popular game called Seeking the Dao[2]. The basic structure was not much different, and as a game director, Mei Fang naturally deconstructed the framework of this type of game and played it skillfully with high efficiency.

Early online games were still very fair in terms of in-app purchases. As long as you spent some time, you could even get game cards for free. Mei Fang, who had a computer at home, naturally didnt worry about this time cost.

As for Mei Lijun and Xiang Xiaoxia, on one hand, they were busy taking care of their daughter and were more open-minded towards Mei Fang. As long as he didnt stay up late and his grades didnt drop, he could continue playing. So Mei Fang quickly caught up with the games updates.

Mei Fang now only maintains the pace of playing with two accounts, a male character in the Dragon Palace and a female character in the Tang Dynasty. The female account technically belongs to Lin Youxi.

Because there was no computer at home, Lin Youxi would come to Mei Fangs house to do homework whenever she had time on weekends.

It was shortly after the National Day holiday when the new expansion pack of Fantasy Westward Journey was released, and everyone was busy exploring. At times like this, Mei Fang would always let Lin Youxi play completely.

After all, its my account anyway, and Lin Youxi is just working for me.

This should be the embryonic form of an early game studio!

Lin Youxi had a joyful attitude and often asked Mei Fang about gameplay and details while playing.

A lot of people have already reached the Ascension stage. Shouldnt we level up too?

No rush, let the people ahead explore and create strategies. We dont have much time to play, so lets finish the new versions activities and then lead the team for escort missions.

This new courtyard is really interesting, but the renovation is too expensive

Lin Youxi suddenly turned around and asked Mei Fang, who was studying programming books, Mei Fang, when do you think we can have children?

Huh?The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

Mei Fang was stunned for a moment, You mean the two characters in our game, right?

In this relationship, she is even less likely to know about the deep friendship established between Lin Youxi and Mei Fang through the game.

This is a little secret between Mei Fang and Lin Youxi.

Lin Youxi chose to hide in Mei Fangs parents room, and Mei Fang turned off the computer and quickly went to open the door.

He was greeted by Xia Yuans slightly annoyed face.

Why did it take so long to open the door? Ive been waiting for a long time.

I I was just in the bathroom!

Liar, you must have been playing video games.

Xia Yuan hummed as she prepared to change her shoes. Mei Fang saw that Lin Youxis sandals were still there, so he quietly pushed them under the shoe cabinet while Xia Yuan wasnt paying attention.

Dont you usually have piano lessons on Sundays? How come you have time to come see me today

I dont want to learn piano anymore.

Xia Yuan muttered, Because of learning piano, Im always so tired on Sundays and cant play with you guys.

Thats true

Xia Yuan put her backpack on the coffee table in the living room. Your mom and dad and little Ya arent home today?

They went to grandmas house. Mei Fang shrugged helplessly, The motorcycle cant fit me now, and I dont want to go by myself.

Why do they always leave you alone at home? Uncle and Aunt shouldnt neglect you just because they have little Ya.

I dont really mind

Actually, he couldnt be happier this little sister was born just at a right time.

While chatting with Mei Fang about family matters, Xia Yuan walked towards the room.

Mei Fang worried that she would go to his parents bedroom, so he grabbed Xia Yuan and said, Hey, where are you going?

Im going to the study to check something. Xia Yuans expression was stern, just like Mei Fangs mom, Xiang Xiaoxia, Let me see if youve been playing games!

Dont check the temperature of the computer, Ive been playing, Ive been playing, Im sorry.

Mei Fang apologized with a smile, and Xia Yuan stood with her hands on her hips, looking helpless.

I knew it! Mei Fang, youve always loved lying since you were little, no one will like you when you grow up

Mei Fang nodded incessantly, while his heart let out a heavy sigh.

The little angel Xia Yuan who used to want to have mao mao with me has indeed drifted away from me!
