He Zhi is not like Ji Mao, who can lose consciousness when most of the power is cut off. He tossed and turned in bed, remembering what happened yesterday.

At 6:00 pm yesterday, after the half-monthly regular meeting ended, he had a light meal with the middle and high-level executives of the company present, and then went downstairs to inspect the game testing department in person.

He was accompanied by two secretaries, an assistant, and the head of the game department.

He Zhi is very murderous, this is already the eighth time the testing department reported an error this month.

For a long time, the company's game testing department has a low error reporting rate, and after testing game bugs, it directly connects with the program department. This time, the error reporting of the TL8 game cabin is beyond the scope of inter-departmental communication.

The program department, engineering maintenance department and testing department jointly conducted several tests on TL8, and found no problems, but the game test of TL8 cabin just failed, so the director had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue reporting errors.

When Xiao Shen, the Jimmy who designed the TL8 cabin in the program department, did not leave his job, he said bluntly: "Is it possible that your level is not good enough?"

His irresponsible remarks were attacked by all the colleagues in the testing department, and he was stuffed into the game cabin by everyone. Of course, he failed to pass the level.

Not long after, he resigned due to an accident in his family. Before he resigned, the testing department confirmed that the TL8 game cabin was a display version for customers, and it was not included in the final candidate range.

But on the second day after Shen Shun's resignation, the test team conducted another round of voting, and the TL8 cabin was included in one of the three alternative versions.

The problem of the pass rate of the game in the TL8 cabin was put on the table again.

Up to now, 37 colleagues of TL8 have tested the game for 86 times, and there has never been a successful example.

The director of the game testing department reported the progress of the project to He Zhi at the half-monthly regular meeting. When He Zhi heard this old problem again, he pressed his impatience and asked him: "If you can't pass this version, you don't want this version, can you?"

The expression of the head of the testing department seemed very embarrassed, because everyone unanimously voted the TL8 cabin as the best version. It is highly playable, interactive, and interesting. Except that no one can pass the level, everything is perfect.

He Zhi also wanted to see what was so special about the game in the TL8 cabin, so he proposed to come down and play the game in the TL8 cabin himself.

When we arrived at the testing department, it was already off-duty time, and all the employees had left, only the deputy director was still working overtime, and the glass door was pitch black.

The minister swiped open the door of the testing department and took him to the room where the TL8 cabin was located. The deputy minister had just restarted the game.

After He Zhi entered the door, he asked the secretary and assistant to go back first, leaving only two people from the testing department waiting.

He lay down in the game cabin, pressed the key, the blindfold covered his eyes, and he heard music from far to near, which was the startup sound of the game cabin.

He Zhi also tried the game cabin before.

Before The Last Day was made, the programming department and the art department made a startup screen together. He Zhi was the first to experience it. He immediately felt that the game cabin must be a hit, so he asked the planning department to make a promotional video for the public. Call for game pod bonus game ideas.

He Zhi's original intention was to come up with a space sports game with gorgeous effects to reflect the performance of the game cabin. Unexpectedly, a little girl in the planning department came up with a bloody game of "falling in love with a stylist", and the number of online votes was far ahead. For some reason, the upper-class audience of most technology companies wants to use this game cabin to fall in love with the lower-class audience.

Thinking wildly, He Zhi's face suddenly felt like a ray of breeze, and a gentle male voice came from next to his ear: "Mr. He, it's done."

He Zhi opened his eyes. He was standing in front of the mirror, wearing an iron-gray suit, no different from his usual one. Standing beside him was a tall, slender man with fair skin, drooping corners of his eyes, thick eyelashes, and Long, with a polite smile on his face, he softly asked He Zhi how he felt about the effect.

"It's okay." He Zhi touched the cuffs, the feel of the clothes was almost the same as the reality.

A line of blue words hanging in the air appeared in front of his eyes:

You have a dinner at the Qishan Hotel tonight, would you like to invite Jimmy

want. don't want.

He Zhi glanced at Jimmy and chose "yes".

The line of words gradually became shallower, and new subtitles emerged, which were lines for He Zhinian.

Looking at the old-fashioned sentence, He Zhi felt that the game was so boring that it had no other use except to embarrass him, but he still read to Jimmy: "Do you want to go to the dinner party with me tomorrow night? "

According to the process, Jimmy should readily agree, but unexpectedly Jimmy glanced at him and casually refused: "I don't want to."

Then he turned around and left.

The system still prompts: Congratulations, Jimmy has accepted your invitation.

He Zhi looked at the back of Jimmy going away, and wrote it down in his heart. It turns out that the problem of this version lies in the logic design of the characters. The whole game had to be played back, and the program department had to work on him three or five times overnight.

Since the game process was still going on, the next day, He Zhi drove a silver sports car from home, parked it downstairs in Jimmy's studio, called him bravely, and told him to go downstairs.

Jimmy also really came down, he seemed to have just taken a shower, wearing a casual T-shirt, trousers and sneakers, with a strong fragrance on his body. He got into the car without saying a word, and seeing that He Zhi was still driving, he turned around and asked him, "Why are you stopping?"

He was pale and harmless, but he had two thin lips. He looked innocent and unflattering, always making people unpredictable.

He Zhi didn't like rude people very much. He looked at Jimmy who was not dressed properly, ignored the line "You are so beautiful today" that appeared in front of him, frowned and said to Jimmy, "You can't dress like this."

A transparent battery-like thing suspended in the upper left of He Zhi's field of vision suddenly became blank.

In order to prevent customers from indulging in virtual love, The Last Day has adopted some isolation measures. If the number of times that they do not speak according to the script reaches ten, they will be forced to launch the game, and the behavior of the players is also fixed in the game.

For players, rather than falling in love in person, The Last Day is more like letting them personally enter a certain person's memory and witness someone else falling in love.

"Why not?" Jimmy looked at his clothes in surprise and asked He Zhi.

He Zhi shook his head, started the car, and drove to the hotel.

Jimmy was more silent than He Zhi imagined, he tilted his head and looked at He Zhi, as if examining him.

He Zhi felt a little uncomfortable, but it didn't show on his face.

The game duration of The Last Day is two hours, and the player's somatosensory time is about two days. They experience one hundred days in the game in two days, so a lot of time is jumping.

The next second, they were already at the dinner party.

He Zhibai was bored with Jimmy wandering around, followed the progress of the game, introduced his friends to Jimmy, and took him to play indoor golf, and won the first place in front of Jimmy. But it didn't go up at all.

After the dinner party, He Zhi sent Jimmy home. When Jimmy stopped downstairs, He Zhi stared at the progress bar, which was still blank. His frustration turned into anger, and he pulled Jimmy impulsively, and asked him: "How did I do it?" not good?"

"What's wrong?" Jimmy looked back at him coldly.

At this time, another line appeared before He Zhi's eyes: Are you free tomorrow night

"Are you free tomorrow night?" He Zhi humiliated and continued to read.

"No." Jimmy said and went out again.

He Zhi watched him close the door, listened to the system's congratulations, and found that the favorability bar had turned red a little, and reflected on himself not being impulsive, because maybe the system was just slow to respond.

In the following time, He Zhi was like a time traveler, jumping from one scene to another, doing tasks non-stop in order to win Jimmy's favor. He watched Jimmy, making choices at the same time.

Jimmy in the TL8 game cabin is indeed a design worthy of unanimous approval by the test department. Jimmy is an interesting person. He seems to be flesh and blood, close in front of his eyes, and his gestures are full of vitality. From the beginning of his refusal to the end of his acceptance, it is natural and just right. He Zhi So picky, I don't feel bored.

The number of favorable impressions continued to increase, and He Zhi also calmed down and continued the game.

On the night He Zhi took Jimmy to the seaside for supper, he parked the car by the guardrail, opened the back cover of the car, and it was filled with bright red roses, with a bottle of champagne in the middle of the roses.

Following the script, He Zhi knelt on the ground and asked Jimmy like a threat: "Would you like to be with me?"

"What do you want, so what if you don't want to?" Jimmy looked at him in the dark, not far from the dark and peaceful sea.

The line should be "I know you will agree." He Zhi looked at him, and on a whim, he pointed to the guardrail not far away and said, "You don't allow me to jump off."

The light was too dark, and He Zhi couldn't see Jimmy's expression, but he could imagine that it must be very exciting, so he asked Jimmy again: "How is it?"

"I don't want to." Jimmy said coldly.

The favorability bar became longer again, telling He Zhi intuitively that this Jimmy has a different heart.

He Zhi said "yes" to Jimmy, then rushed to the beach, pulled the guardrail and jumped, and Jimmy behind him finally stopped calling his name calmly and rushed over in panic.

Of course He Zhi didn't jump down, he grabbed the railing with one hand, looked up at Jimmy, pulled hard, kicked his foot, and stood back again, He Zhi stared at Jimmy through the railing, and asked him: "Are you afraid just now? "

It's a wonderful thing, he knows he's talking to a game character, and nothing he says will be recorded, it's an awkward and pointless one-man show.

But Jimmy looked at him like it was real.

Jimmy was safe and good, so at the moment Jimmy kissed him at the other end of the fence, He Zhi decided to give Jimmy's designer a raise.

His slightly cool lips trembled a little and printed on He Zhi's lips, the realistic feeling made people's heart beat.

The number of records was full the next day after He Zhi brought Jimmy home. Jimmy was so real, he smiled at He Zhi, as if he really loved He Zhi, even the most subtle The expressions, the simplest words and deeds, all seem to be filled with love.

He encountered unhappy things in the retro modeling room. He Zhi chose to take him to two different places to relax, but he couldn't help jumping out of the game again, asking Jimmy to resign, and said to Jimmy: "Don't Done, go back to my house, I will take care of you."

Jimmy ignored him, and lightly rejected him: "What nonsense."

The law of country A clearly stipulates that populations with a two-level difference in genetic classification cannot intermarry. If there is a tendency to fall in love and give birth, a special department will perform brain surgery on the lower population to remove the dopamine-producing region of the ventral dorsal tegmentation.

It is impossible for Jimmy and the player to be together, even in fairy tales, they will never be blessed and sheltered.

He Zhi finally understood the client's intention to choose this game.

Everyone is drawn to the thrill of standing on the edge of a cliff.

Jimmy is so kind, even a person like He Zhi who lacks romance by nature can't help but make some imperceptible changes for him, but this is just a game, people enjoy the process of falling in love, and they don't need to be responsible.

The ending of the game made He Zhi uncomfortable.

The protagonist played by He Zhi will be in danger of being shot on the 100th day. If Jimmy falls in love with He Zhi, he will block the gun for He Zhi.

And Jimmy fell in love with He Zhi, so he was lying in a pool of blood.

Bright red blood spilled from Jimmy's chest, soaking his white shirt and dripping onto the asphalt.

He Zhi didn't understand why a love game had such an ending. Before he recovered from the sound of gunfire, Jimmy grabbed his tie and insisted on asking him if he loved her.

Immediately afterwards, two options appeared in front of He Zhi, love or not love.

Falling in love with a game character is ridiculous.

He Zhi chose not to love almost without hesitation, the scene in front of him suddenly shifted to a field, the breeze brushed against his face again, a gentle female voice came from the game, reminding He Zhi that he had cleared the level.

He has Jimmy's heart.

He Zhi opened the game cabin, saw the stunned face of the head of the testing department, and stepped on the door of the game cabin in a bad mood, scolded the head of the testing department, and asked them if they had been eating for a month, Such a simple game has reported errors for so long.

On the way to He Qingyu's birthday party, He Zhi called the head of the planning department again, and asked who the hell designed the ending of this game, which user would like this bloody ending, and whether the anti-addiction mechanism has been implemented or not. Also, thanks to the fact that they dared to release the game, they cursed all the way from entering the special elevator to the entrance of the hotel before hanging it.

After swimming back and forth in the hotel suite for a few times, the heart rate monitor on his wrist alarmed, and He Zhi couldn't stop. He was still thinking, maybe he should lie to Jimmy, because Jimmy looks so desperate and needs someone love him.

—He really won Jimmy's heart.

He Zhi was in a mess, restless, he turned on the bedside lamp on the control panel of the wristband, glanced at Ji Mao again, raised his hand to touch Ji Mao's warm arm that was naturally placed on the bed, and then closed it again. Eyes go to sleep.
