Chapter 412 Regret
The girl "kicked" the chair away with force, and Jiang Mingshi, who was still pressing the keyboard with his "afterimage hand", was pushed to the wall in an instant. The girl then pulled the stool behind her and sat down, placing her hands on the keyboard and pressing the keys flexibly and agilely.
Jiang Mingshi compared his performance just now, looked at the orange light and combo number that kept jumping on the display screen, and then looked at his hands, thinking to himself: "I really have disabled hands..."
but… …
"Hey, Zhang Yiyuan, what's your attitude? If your uncle hadn't taken you in, you would have been sleeping on the street... Even if you don't like it, you can't... You can't kick the chair with your feet!"
Jiang Mingshi, wearing glasses, looks like a typical middle-aged uncle with a face that is easy to bully. It is estimated that most netizens who like to read his press releases will never think about his real appearance.
But the weak tone, which sounded like asking the niece to apologize, was a little too powerless.
"Uncle, don't think I don't know. You call my mother every month to report my situation. I'm too lazy to tell you... Are you still going to play? If not, I'll go back to my room and play by myself!"
Jiang Mingshi's niece is speechless about her uncle. He always pretends to be majestic, but in fact he is often bullied. Who tells him to be an old bachelor? His grandma and grandpa bully him, and her mother also bullies him. The old bachelor has no human rights.
So much so that when I was "kicked out of the house", I immediately relied on this older uncle, and lived with him for half a year, until my senior year of high school, and applied for a dormitory at school. I moved out this month and only came back on weekends. I came back today to help, because this uncle is an idiot in games.
"Stop being depressed. Aren't you a music critic? Why don't you listen to the music properly? What are you doing?"
"Now, let's analyze this song called 'Dream'. I'm also curious!"
The girl was playing while looking at the man who had no dignity.
Jiang Mingshi felt a little helpless, but he still focused on the music. He had just started playing this game more than ten minutes ago. The opening scene was full of fairy tale style, but it was also a bit strange and alternative.
There are five levels of images: a black background, a glowing tree, a black shadow with glowing eyes, a strange little girl and toys. Add to that all the reflections in the water, and the reflection of the little girl at the bottom has ripples.
As soon as the game started, Jiang Mingshi felt something completely different. Although he didn't play games much, he had heard of the band Jin Jing. But the beginning alone seemed completely different.
Then the scene changes again, and suddenly a female voice is heard, the song is full of loneliness, and the scene shows Deemo and countless movements. However, it is fleeting, and the back of Deemo sitting in front of the piano in the castle appears, and then the plot chapter "Lonely Deemo" is selected.
Then they went straight into the trial of the first song "Dream". After they succeeded in playing the first song which was not difficult, they unlocked the next three songs.
Then there is a one-minute plot picture. Although Zheng Xiuheng also wanted to make an animated opening, the manpower and investment were too large, so it was still in the form of illustration. However, because the process of the little girl falling from the window opened in the air is basically the same background, the only change is the position of the little girl falling. So frame by frame, it looks like the same thing.
And under the window was the dark shadow Deemo playing the piano on a log. When he saw the girl falling from the sky, he immediately stood up and hugged her. The story began from here.
Then the screen returns to the page where the chapter was selected just now. This time, Deemo is no longer alone, but Deemo is sitting in front of the piano reading a book, and there is a little girl next to him. If you click the mouse at this time, the words of the little girl will appear, and the subsequent chapter "Falling Girl" and three songs will be unlocked.
For Jiang Mingshi, this fairy-tale style game was not very attractive, but the songs were different. The first song gave him a great surprise. The beautiful and slightly sad piano music seemed particularly interesting in some strange noises, as if it contained some mysterious story.
However, the most frustrating thing for Jiang Mingshi was that because it was the first song, he used the lowest difficulty at the beginning. In fact, there is nothing wrong with the lowest difficulty. At least it is easier for novices to play. In addition, the game has a total of one to nine speeds.
In the first song, as her niece said, there seemed to be a special setting in the lowest difficulty level, where the piano notes of the main melody needed to be produced by pressing keys. Simply put, if the notes were not pressed correctly, there would only be accompaniment from other instruments, but the main melody would be pronounced incorrectly. This was of course nothing for ordinary people, but for Jiang Mingshi it was a bit obsessive-compulsive.
The two of them quickly finished the easiest difficulty level, and then the next two levels of difficulty appeared directly, with a prompt that the next chapter would be unlocked if the completion rate was greater than 65%.
This game doesn't have any scoring or anything like that, the percentage is determined based on perfection, not just how fast you play.
However, Jiang Mingshi had no interest in the latter part and wanted to listen to the first song "Dream" more, so he played the later difficulty levels again... and then became disabled.
In fact, her niece Zhang Yiyuan doesn't want to play with him at all now, because when she clicked on the character on the chapter selection page, the extra speech box looked very interesting, as if it was telling a story, so now she really wants to learn more about it.
"Why don't you play it again? Maybe I can do it again..."
"Hey, this song is pretty good, how about we play it?"
Zhang Yiyuan rolled her eyes at him, but her eyes were fixed on the illustration of the song selection interface on the screen. It was unclear whether Deemo was attacked or blown down by the strong wind, and his body... seemed to be dissipating.
"Mory" is one of the new songs that appeared when Zhang Yiyuan was looking at the unlocked new songs. Compared to her uncle who was immediately attracted by the song, although she was also attracted by the music, she was more attracted by the illustrations and the song title.
“Rainy memories?”
"Extra memory?"
Zhang Yiyuan tilted her head, her eyes full of curiosity, so she ignored the weird uncle and directly chose the second difficulty of the song.
While Zhang Yiyuan was playing, Jiang Mingshi was listening to the music attentively. It was another song full of stories and emotions, soft, sad and powerful. Jiang Mingshi was shaking with excitement. This was only the second song he had heard. Zheng Xiuheng said that there were twenty songs in this game. Although not every song would be of such high quality, they would not be too different, right?
As a person who loves music, this is really a happy thing. At the same time, Jiang Mingshi also confirmed that Zheng Xiuheng does have a high level of attainment in piano, which is really beyond the ability of someone of this age.
A few minutes later...
"Yewon, let your uncle play for a while!"
"No, just listen carefully!"
"That's so boring . Now I can do it too. Just go back to your room and play!"
"Have fun with your notebook yourself!"
"ah!"
Although he yelled, Jiang Mingshi finally went back to his room in shame, took his laptop and sat on the sofa to re-download the game, buy...
At this moment, Jiang Mingshi and Zhang Yiyuan represent two different types of players. One is simply excited by the music, while the other is simply curious about the story of the game.
Just like Zhang Yiyuan could not feel the joy of playing at the lowest difficulty, Jiang Mingshi did not notice the information that the sapling on the right grew after each performance. If the two were to communicate at this time, the answer they would definitely get would be:
"We are definitely not playing a game!"
But the same thing is that both of them slowly fell into it.
"Big fortune!"
“Did nine thousand people really buy it?”
"Count it, count it quickly!"
"One person is 4,000 won, and 9,000 people is 36 million won. Isn't this enough to make back the development cost?"
Cui Minxi also looked at the sales data in astonishment. In fact, according to his and Zheng Xiuheng's estimation, under normal circumstances, the sales on the first day reached 3,000 people, most of which should be supported by radio listeners, or some music fans...
But the two of them actually fell into a misunderstanding. Sometimes these things should not be too conservative. Let’s not talk about whether there will be a buff in today’s news, but Lee Hyori posted a promotional poster for "Deemo" on SNS, expressing her support for her cheap cousin, and the result was far more than nine thousand people.
It is a fact that most of the fan consumer groups in South Korea are girls. Similarly, Lee Hyori's fans are truly men, women, young and old. Not to mention her large number of fans, just in the fan club, if one-tenth of them respond to her call, they can contribute 10,000 or 20,000 sales.
So nine thousand people is indeed not too many, but now is not the end. On the contrary, it is because there are many more trial videos on the Internet, and a few players have started to communicate. Because this game is different from the mindless bouncing game "Power Band" in people's imagination, it seems to contain a special story. In all aspects, especially music, it has attracted many netizens who have not yet bought it, so sales are still surging.
After being stunned for a while, Choi Min-hee suddenly slammed his fist on the table, scaring the juniors around him.
"Senior, you?"
"I'm a fucking idiot!"
Everyone was stunned...
"I'm a fucking idiot..."
Choi Min-hee howled wildly because he remembered what Zheng Xiuheng had asked him to do, asking him to invest some money and see if he could add some CG animations. However, Choi Min-hee said very bluntly that all the cards were frozen and the money in his personal account was now being saved for living.
But now, I really regret it...
