Chapter 40
"I'm serious, maybe you should just play some games for a bit..."
Ye Zhenzhen blinked, looking at Gu Ran with concern.
Seeing this, Gu Ran twitched the corner of his mouth, deciding not to bicker anymore with a girl who lacked a single humorous cell.
He pulled her over, pressed her down at the desk, and started showing her the game he had made.
"Look at this, I poured my heart and soul into making it. It uses the phone's gyroscope for controls. It will definitely break the conventional mindset of mobile games and create a miracle!"
He made it?
Ye Zhenzhen blinked again, looking back at him with some curiosity before continuing to stare at the computer screen.
Does this guy... really know how to do so much?
Soon, as Gu Ran clicked the test run button, the image on the screen changed.
A sloppily drawn stick figure was running inside an equally sloppy blank box. With every movement, the surrounding lines twisted exaggeratedly.
At first glance, it just looked like a mess of chaotic lines moving irregularly...
"Uh..."
Ye Zhenzhen opened her mouth slightly, staying silent for a long moment before tentatively saying, "This idea is very... unique. It's definitely quite... interesting..."
Meanwhile, Li Sinan, who had returned home and packed up her things, was also sitting at her computer desk. She plugged in the USB drive and opened the game file.
Staring at the same randomly dancing lines on the screen, she fell into a temporary silence.
Gu Ran had drawn these lines himself to save time, and he understood them perfectly. He had a clear plan in mind for how to add the art assets later, so he wasn't confused looking at it.
But for anyone else, seeing this mess of lines was truly baffling...
Li Sinan silently closed the game, downloaded the programming software, and slowly looked over the code while holding a book to review.
Although her working efficiency wasn't fast, her work attitude was incredibly serious!
She read through it word by word, line by line, mentally simulating each segment of code to see what effect it would generate and whether there were any errors or omissions.
While she was earnestly debugging, Gu Ran was giving Ye Zhenzhen hands-on instruction on how to use a computer.
Realizing he couldn't explain it to this girl, Gu Ran curled his lips, secretly complaining that she had no eye for talent and couldn't spot a potential winner.
However, seeing Ye Zhenzhen staring at the computer with a face full of curiosity, he remembered that her only previous exposure to computers was in the school's computer lab.
As for having a computer at home, in a small county town in 2010, although more families had computers, it was still pitifully few compared to the population of millions.
Costing two or three thousand yuan, not everyone was willing to make the investment to install one at home.
Most people who wanted to play on a computer would choose internet cafes that charged one or two yuan an hour.
As for Ye Zhenzhen, she only knew how to study on normal days. Although she also wanted to play on a computer, she would never go to an internet cafe, a place that served as a base for local delinquents.
"Here, this is QQ, this is the browser, this is..."
Gu Ran held her hand and the mouse, dragging the cursor over each icon while continuously explaining.
Ye Zhenzhen held the mouse herself, looking at the pig trotter covering her hand. Her pretty face slightly tinged with a rosy blush, and she glared at him in embarrassment and annoyance.
This was hands-on teaching?!
Very well!
Besides, even if she didn't know much, she knew what these programs were called. Wasn't what she wanted to learn how to use them?
But this guy was touching her hand, introducing every possible software on the screen one by one, and he didn't even skip turning the computer on and off!
Pervert!
The next second, feeling his arm wrapping around her, her temples couldn't help but throb. She gritted her teeth and said, "Gu 'Dog' Ran, are you done yet!"
"Done, done, play by yourself!"
Hastily pressing the girl, who was on the verge of exploding, back down, he trotted over to climb onto the bed, immediately distancing himself from this tiger's den.
He was a gentleman, so he wouldn't stand under a collapsing wall!
Seeing the bedsheets she had just made get wrinkled by him in a second, Ye Zhenzhen's temples throbbed again.
Forcibly calming her mood, she raised a hand to pinch the bridge of her nose, went back into the room to find a test paper, and shoved it over, saying, "Hurry up and do it, I'll check it later."
Reaching out to take it, Gu Ran twitched his mouth and said with a long face, "No, big sister, the school is on holiday. How can you be even more of a slave driver than the school?"
"Cut the crap, hurry up!"
Seeing that he was about to bargain again, to avoid getting trapped by his twisted logic, she directly opted for hegemony, giving him no chance to speak.
Lifting her small foot wearing a cotton sock, she lightly kicked him, then turned around to sit at the computer desk and started fiddling with QQ.
Gu Ran also got out of bed, sneaked over, held the mouse and her hand, and continued, "Let me teach you something new, it's called QQ Farm, you..."
Before he could finish, his dishonest paw was slapped, followed by a kick to his butt.
"Hurry up and do the test!"
Rolling her beautiful eyes, she couldn't help but give him an eye roll.
Give this guy an inch and he takes a mile. If she didn't put him in his place, he would really walk all over her.
"You took my desk, I can't just lie on the bed and write."
Gu Ran curled his lips, saying very reluctantly.
He finally got a chance to rest, why did he have to do test papers again?
If worse came to worst, he would agree to tutoring, as long as she put her little feet on his lap.
"Go study in my room!"
After kicking him a few more times, Gu Ran finally patted his butt and left, completely satisfied.
After he left, Ye Zhenzhen gently stroked her forehead and sighed helplessly.
Then, picking up the worn-out little bear on the computer desk, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Although that guy was usually very annoying, he truly gave her the feeling of family.
She didn't know why, but there was a sense of unfamiliarity with Gu Xiangcheng.
But with this guy, in just a few days, they were as familiar as relatives. She didn't know what kind of magic he possessed, but she unconsciously felt relaxed around him.
Reaching out to tap the little bear's nose, her thoughts fluttered. Was this... in the name of family?
She raised the corners of her mouth and laughed softly, revealing a stunningly beautiful smile...
Sitting at the computer desk, she curiously played around with various functions, and finally, all her interest landed on QQ Farm in Qzone.
She had to admit, it was quite interesting...
She originally only intended to take a look, but accidentally got addicted to it.
Suddenly, a loud shout from Gu Ran came from her room.
"Ye Zhenzhen, your phone is ringing!"
Startled, her eyebrows shot up. Staring at the computer screen and rushing to clear out the bugs, the girl didn't even turn her head as she replied, "Show some respect, call me Sister! And besides, I don't have a phone!"
Hearing the voice coming from the next room, Gu Ran looked at the PHS phone in his hand. The tiny screen showed the caller was Pei Susu.
"Then your PHS is ringing!"
"Ah, just answer it for me first!"
Hearing Ye Zhenzhen's words, Gu Ran shrugged and looked down at the PHS.
Pei Susu?
This name was somewhat familiar. After thinking for a moment, he realized this was Ye Zhenzhen's deskmate.
Seeing that the other party had been calling for a long time, he simply pressed the answer button...
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...
