Chapter 61: School Begins

Chapter 61: School Begins

The next day, Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan packed up and went home. After that, they came to Mei Fangs house again to finish watching Silent Hill.

Although this movie was indeed scary, the content of the bet was to scare the other person to tears. In order to win the bet and make Mei Fang grant one of her wishes, Xia Yuan resorted to closing her eyes, blocking her ears, or simply fixing her gaze on Mei Fang. Although she was still scared, she was far from being scared to tears.

Only the honest Lin Youxi continued to watch the movie seriously. Mei Fang was afraid of being pinched this time, so he deliberately placed Xia Yuan in the middle. Lin Youxi would not pinch Xia Yuan like she did to Mei Fang. In the end, Mei Fang discovered Lin Youxi wiping her tears and had to admit defeat.

According to the previous bet, Lin Youxi lost and had to make lunch for Mei Fang every day until Xiang Xiaoxia returned.

As for Xia Yuans wish, it was quite interesting. She chose to protect Lin Youxi as she did when they were kids, asking Mei Fang to stop punishing Lin Youxi.

I somewhat expected this

Mei Fangs solitary summer vacation flew by.

Although it was called solitary, Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan would constantly knock on his door during these two months. Mei Fang was too lazy to get up early to open the door, so he gave them a key to come and go as they pleased.

Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan didnt always come to play with Mei Fang. Both of them had the habit of waking up early. Xia Yuan would come over early in the morning to study, while Lin Youxi was enthusiastic about trying various dishes and let Mei Fang and Xia Yuan taste her cooking. It was practically no different from fulfilling the bet.

They also played games together at home. Xia Yuan would go home at this time because her family also bought a computer, and Lin Youxi would play with her at Mei Fangs house.

While playing, they would even open QQ video chats, playing games and video chatting at the same time, which brought unique joy to these two girls.

They also played the Little Tyrant game console that Mei Fang bought for Mei Ya. The experience of using the gamepad opened up a new world for them. Even a game like Contra[1] could keep them entertained for an entire afternoon. Mei Fang thought that when they were a little older, they could buy a real game console and strive to improve their game aesthetics so as not to go astray.

As for the Flappy Bird game project that Mei Fang had been thinking about since the beginning of spring, after finding some simple art outsourcing online, he published and submitted it on some Chinese gaming websites, such as 3DM[2] and Sina Games.[3]

As for the results of the submission, naturally not many people paid attention to it, and most of the comments were negative.

Who dares to call this a game? Its garbage.

Ive played flash games on 4388[4] that are more fun than this.

Its a scam for ad money, dont click.

It seems my marketing strategy was off.

Mei Fang also seriously reviewed it afterwards. Most of the users on these well-known gaming websites were used to playing AAA games and had high standards.

If I really want to promote it, I need to create buzz on mobile platforms. The target audience for Flappy Bird is primarily potential players who dont play games much, so theres no need to get discouraged.

Then Mei Fang did some research and discovered that Unity on the iOS platform was already supported in 2008. So he began working on creating an iOS version, hoping to get a piece of the cake on the App Store.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Lin Youxi still hasnt told Mei Fang about the specific thing shes saving money to buy that she mentioned to him in the early spring. It seems that she hasnt achieved her goal yet and still busy earning money through account boosting.

Under Mei Fangs guidance, she also learned how to write scripts for automated operations and created some alt accounts to support her main account, which is something Mei Fang had been doing before.

And finally, September 1st arrived, the day when elementary and middle schools started.

Mei Fang finally made it to middle school. Mei Lijun, his father, was very happy and took a day off to accompany his children to enroll.

Why do you have such a gloomy face? You are a middle school student now, you should be energetic and cheerful.

Mei Lijun reminded Mei Fang, who was sitting in the back row. Mei Fang disdainfully replied, Dont you know that its very disrespectful to honk loudly in the neighborhood? Dont always show off. Although you are just a small-time official, you are still a leader now, so pay attention to your public image.

Mei Lijun added, With your experience on the construction site, you should have been promoted long ago, but you dont compete with others. And your little brother-in-law received so much compensation when his sister passed away. You shouldnt have given him any! If your family was better off, you would have more time to spend with Youxi and buy her more beautiful clothes.

Yes, youre right

Lin Guochuan smiled and nodded, not refuting Mei Lijuns words. Meanwhile, Youxi, who was sitting next to him, kept fidgeting with her hands and had a lonely and disheartened expression on her face.

Xiang Xiaoxia, who saw this scene in the rearview mirror, quickly interrupted Mei Lijuns words, Stop talking for a while, it wont hurt you. You act like youre so capable, but youve been in Baizhou City for three years and havent achieved anything.

The higher-ups havent stepped down, so I dont have any promotion opportunities. Besides, I

Dad, focus on driving.

Mei Fang interrupted, Were in a hurry to enroll!

Alright. I get it, I get it!

At this point, only one person in the car was unhappy.

And a very unhappy one.
