Blockbuster Games, Immersive Experience

The game installation went smoothly.

Thanks to the high-performance computer, the entire process took only a few seconds.

To prevent Ying'er or Aunt Ruxue from hacking in and seeing his activity, Lin Yu specifically set up a "secure partition."

Any operations performed within this hidden partition would leave absolutely no trace.

Only after doing all this did he open the game, filled with anticipation!

It had to be said: Ying'er's high standards had completely exceeded Lin Yu's expectations.

She had approached this project with the mindset of a commercial blockbuster, yet she was making a game that could never be legally released in the country.

The moment he opened the game, Lin Yu confirmed that it could never be released publicly.

Why? Because the game actually featured an opening cinematic!

It was a full animated intro video lasting over two minutes.

It even displayed credits for the "Development Team."

Although, this so-called team consisted of only two people.

One was Mo Shangying, and the other was...

Ye Mengfu!

All the character sprites and artwork were the handiwork of Little Fufu.

Of course.

This didn't mean Little Fufu had to draw every single frame.

She only needed to create the character models and background scenes.

For everything else, Ying'er could use computer technology to handle the composition and animation.

This was the ultimate collaboration between a tech genius and an artistic prodigy.

In the intro, as distinctive girls flashed across the screen one by one, the audio kicked in.

Lin Yu felt like his brain had been struck by lightning...

"!!!"

He didn't even need to look at their outfits or faces to identify the characters.

Ying'er had sampled their "original voices" and used audio simulation to recreate them.

In 2014, before AI voice synthesis became commonplace.

Seeing something like this was absolutely mind-blowing.

It was precisely because Lin Yu possessed technical skills himself that he could truly appreciate the immense amount of time required to create such a game.

He was once again deeply impressed by Ying'er's prowess.

Whether due to the summer season or Ying'er's deliberate design.

The girls on screen were all dressed in light, refreshing outfits.

Only Little Fufu retained her long-sleeved hoodie look.

Even so.

Her straight, beautiful legs were rendered with an incredibly high degree of accuracy.

The intro soon ended, and the screen froze on a group photo of the girls.

Then, a menu of heart-pounding options appeared:

[New Game]

[Load Game]

[High-Energy Memories]

[Ending Achievements]

[Exit Game]

[One-Handed Cheat Mode]

Lin Yu: "!!!"

Most of these options were standard for save-based games.

But as for [High-Energy Memories]...

That description was a bit too graphic, wasn't it!

There was something else worth noting.

Usually, in games like this, [Exit Game] would be the final option in the list.

Ying'er had cleverly manipulated the layout to draw Lin Yu's attention squarely to the actual final option.

[Cheat Mode] was easy enough to understand.

But One-Handed Cheat Mode?

What kind of decent person needs to play a computer game with only one hand?

Lin Yu laughed.

Ying'er was truly the most unpredictable girl in the apartment.

Her thinking was incredibly forward; he had previously thought she was just putting on an act.

This game made Lin Yu lose his composure.

There was no time to overthink it.

With such a game right in front of him—a birthday gift from Ying'er, no less—leaving it unplayed would be disrespectful.

Lin Yu immediately started a new file and dove into the game...

...

7:00 AM.

[Ding!]

[Today is another day full of hope!]

[Please continue to explore the path of the mortal world, Host~ Work hard to become the pillar of the sect!]

Lin Yu turned a deaf ear to the System's notifications.

He continued to immerse himself in the game world like a teenage internet addict.

The game Ying'er had designed could easily be called a AAA masterpiece.

The complex romance routes for each character required Lin Yu's full dedication, demanding constant thought and focus to progress.

From five to seven o'clock, Lin Yu had only managed to unlock a single animated ending for Aunt Qi Meng—the one in the kitchen.

According to the game's description, each character had over ten different animated endings.

In total, there were more than two hundred endings.

It took nearly two hours just to clear one.

He couldn't imagine how much energy it would take to unlock every single ending.

Someone with a weak constitution definitely wouldn't be able to handle it!

Now Lin Yu finally understood the importance of the One-Handed Cheat Mode.

When it came to being considerate, Ying'er was unmatched!

However, Lin Yu had no intention of enabling the cheat mode.

To play an immersive game only to cheat or skip the story.

That would be a complete waste of the developers' hard work!

The summer vacation was long; if he cleared three or four endings a day, he would eventually finish them all.

Undisturbed by the System's prompts, Lin Yu continued to play with total concentration.

...

11:00 AM.

"Ding-dong!"

"Ding-dong!"

"..."

The sound of WeChat messages on his phone rang out incessantly.

Lin Yu walked out of the bathroom, wrapped in a towel.

A cold shower truly did wonders for cooling down the body and calming the mind; he felt much more comfortable and refreshed now.

At first.

He thought it was just a standard dating sim thrown together in a rush.

They were just 2D sprites, after all—how impactful could they be?

It wasn't until he started playing that he deeply felt the intense power of the CG animations.

This wasn't Lin Yu's first shower of the day.

It was his second!

After his relentless efforts, he had finally unlocked endings for three characters.

Aunt Qi Meng and the two members of the development team!

Surprisingly.

Ying'er had put even more effort into designing her own character than the others.

She had almost perfectly recreated her personal history with Lin Yu, maximizing the immersion.

This game belonged to him alone; it absolutely could not be leaked.

Otherwise.

He'd feel like he was being cuckolded by other players.

Lin Yu went to the bedside and picked up his phone.

Everyone in the group chat was waking up one after another.

The lively gathering was like a bonfire lit occasionally in a mundane life.

After burning briefly.

Everyone had to return to their own paths and continue their battle with life.

Experiencing this after being reborn.

Lin Yu felt a sense of emptiness, as if his youth was drawing to a close in its most vibrant form.

"Ding-dong!"

"Ding-dong!"

"..."

Seeing the continuous stream of messages popping up.

Lin Yu couldn't help but smile again.

Everyone was sharing photos from their phones.

From hide-and-seek to the all-nighter at the internet cafe, they had happily recorded every moment.

These frozen snapshots formed a beautiful memory.

He opened the chat with Chi Qingshui.

His little girlfriend was asking if he was awake and if they should head out early to prepare.

Lin Yu sent a voice message:

"I'll be right down. If you guys are ready, we can leave anytime."
