Mei Fang gave the three of them a general idea of the game and showed Guo Yun several reference characters. Many of them were dark worlds in the style of Demon's Souls.
Although it is a horizontal work, it requires a high level of control over the overall atmosphere. Guo Yun looked a little embarrassed after reading it.
"How about it, are you sure you can draw it?"
“This is an art style I haven’t tried before…”
Guo Yun scratched his head and thought for a while, "But I am also interested and willing to give it a try!"
"You can start by drawing the main characters and scene concept drawings. If they can be integrated well, we will start the project. If not, then the project will be shelved."
Mei Fang explained, "The Sago Dessert project team is currently planning to expand its recruitment. As long as your idea works, we will expand the project team."
"Ah... um..."
After hearing this, Guo Yun waved her hands repeatedly, "Don't be like this, if I can't do it, just replace me. Don't delay your own project planning because of me."
"It's not a delay! Anyway, you can try it first. I'm not in a hurry. After all, it takes more than a year to make a game, and there's not even a trial version."
"Yeah, okay..."
Guo Yun lowered her head and thought for a while, then asked Mei Fang, "What are the names of these games you mentioned? I want to buy them and try them out."
"No need to buy them. Youxi and I have completed all of these together. I can just lend them to you when the time comes. Do you have a PS in the dormitory?"
“Ah, I don’t live in a dormitory either…”
Guo Yun smiled and said, "My family has contacted the school for me. I am renting a house outside now."
Guo Yun experienced a lot of bullying from classmates in middle school, and she also had to work and attend classes at the same time, so she preferred to live in a quiet environment.
As the main artist and story prototype of "Cloud Journey", although Guo Yun is not as famous as Mei Fang and others, she is still discussed a lot among her classmates, especially the boys, so she is indeed more suitable for staying at home.
Knowing these reasons, Mei Fang could understand Guo Yun's decision to live outside. "That's it for today. I'll lend you those CDs before you leave."
"Yunyun, if you can't play anymore, you don't have to work hard. Just watch other people's videos on Station C."
Xia Yuan said aggrievedly, "That's really hard."
"Well... I'll just give it a try, hehe."
Why don't I find some time to search for game guides online when I get back
Guo Yun may care more about the task assigned by Mei Fang than anyone imagines.
Everyone was discussing work plans on the third floor. At this time, someone in the vacation group tagged Xia Yuan and asked her if she wanted to go to the beach together. Mei Fang replied with a yes, and then Guo Yun also said she would go down and get ready. Work matters came to a temporary halt.
"If you go there now, you can still see the sunset. The scenery should be quite nice..."
"Does it mean that pretty girls have nice views?"
Lin Youxi held onto Mei Fang's shoulders and asked him. The feeling of being asked by a little bird made Mei Fang's heart beat faster. "Ah, then how could it be... no matter how beautiful she is, can she be as beautiful as our Yuanyuan Youxi?"
"You are so sweet-talking. You have never been so smooth-talking before..."
Lin Youxi pinched Mei Fang's nose. After the two of them finished their fun, Mei Fang saw Xia Yuan comparing swimsuits, so she reminded Xia Yuan:
"Yuanyuan, the temperature is a bit low at this point, so why don't we go into the water?"
"I'm not planning on wearing it to the beach. After we come back from a walk on the beach, we can swim in our own heated pool. Otherwise, why do you think I arranged a villa like this?"
"Huh, you're more considerate."
"Hey, praise me again."
Xia Yuan approached Mei Fang and asked for praise. Mei Fang touched Xia Yuan's head. The two were interacting intimately when Xia Yuan was suddenly patted on the butt by Lin Youxi, causing Xia Yuan to let out a shameful cry.
"Youxi, what are you doing? I hate you so much."
"Yuanyuan is still not pretending to be a tail, otherwise, I don't know how happy she would be." Lin Youxi smiled and said, "When I win the dating game this week, maybe you can try that kind of COS for Ah Fang to see."
"Why are you pretending? I'm not as stupid as you! And how can you be sure that you will win?!"
"Okay, okay, stop arguing... Everyone is waiting for us, let's clean up quickly."
Mei Fang and his group packed their luggage, changed into light clothes and went for a walk on the beach. It was just sunset at that time, and the afterglow of the sunset sprinkled on everyone, making everyone feel comfortable and refreshed.
“The sea breeze feels so comfortable!”
Xia Yuan was wearing a long dress and sandals, strolling on the beach, jumping up and down from time to time, and looking back at Mei Fang from time to time, "Ah Fang, help me take pictures, I want to take a lot of beautiful pictures!"
"Alright, alright, stop moving around... look at the camera."
Xia Yuan posed in various beautiful poses under Mei Fang's camera, while others including Lin Youxi were very quiet and did not disturb her.
In the past, when everyone took photos together, the cheerful and carefree Xiang Bingbing was always the first one to clamor to step forward, but now, looking at Mei Fang's back, she actually felt a little lonely.
As an eyewitness to Xiang Bingbing's self-explosion, Liu Xiaoyu, who also feels grateful to Mei Fang and has some unspeakable emotions, can naturally empathize with Xiang Bingbing at this moment.
"Bingbing, do you want to take a photo with me?"
"Okay, your phone or mine?"
"Mine, I have a selfie stick."
Liu Xiaoyu pulled Xiang Bingbing to take a photo together at the beach, and she pouted after taking the photo.
"I didn't realize it when we took photos together before, but now I look so short..."
"Haha ...
Xiang Bingbing pulled Liu Xiaoyu together again to take a photo. The two of them cooperated with each other and made a heart shape with their hands. After that, they saw Guo Yun squatting aside picking up shells, so they also pulled Guo Yun to take a photo together.
At this time, Yue Xinyi had a rare opportunity to spend time with Lin Youxi.
They used to be good classmates, but they became somewhat distant after Lin Youxi went to Jiangcheng to attend high school. However, Yue Xinyi still missed the Fang Xi CP.
"I'm telling you, what's going on with Mei Fang now?"
"What's going on?"
Lin Youxi tilted her head and smiled, "Isn't it good now?"
"What's so good about that? Why do you want to break up for no reason?"
Looking at Yue Xinyi with a sincere face in front of him, Lin Youxi couldn't help but laugh.
“Well… there are many reasons.”
"Are you planning to go back to your childhood sweetheart relationship?"
Lin Youxi sighed silently, "The relationship we had in the past can never go back."
"I know you don't want to hurt Yuanyuan, but when it comes to love, you should stick to your heart and not give in easily."
"I didn't give in, I just..."
Lin Youxi looked at the vast sea in the distance and gently pulled her hair up, "We are exploring the best way for the three of us to get along with each other."
"But it's a taboo for you to let Mei Gou stay single. You, a man like Mei Gou—"
Yue Xinyi was interrupted by Lin Youxi halfway through her words, and Lin Youxi said seriously:
"Xiao Yizi, you can say bad things about Ah Fang behind his back, but don't say it in front of me. He is your boss, and I am your boss too. I will be unhappy if you scold him like that."
"You, you... you're not even his girlfriend yet you're still defending him, okay..."
"Although I don't want to admit it, someone as outstanding as Mei Fang is bound to attract many people. At his age, he is full of vigor and vitality. If he has been with you for too long and is too familiar with you, the novelty may have worn off. But when faced with the temptations that fall from the sky in society, it is easy for him to fall for him."
"Then... what kind of girl do you think Ah Fang would be attracted to?"
"Me? How would I know what Mei-Mei Fang is thinking?"
Lin Youxi thought for a moment and said, "How about you give me an example? How about taking the girl next to Ah Fang now?"
She turned her back to look at her companions behind her. Yue Xinyi followed Lin Youxi's gaze and looked at Bingbing, Guo Yun and Liu Xiaoyu taking pictures together.
"You said... about them? Isn't that bad?"
"It just means that these girls represent this type of girl. You can comment on them."
Lin Youxi smiled and said, "You've read so many sweet stories about childhood sweethearts, you should be familiar with the characteristics of various types of girls. Just think of it as playing a game with me."
"Well... OK, then you tell me."
"Xiang Bingbing is cheerful, enthusiastic, and pure. She is full of energy and vitality every day. Do you think Ah Fang will be attracted to such a girl?"
"Bingbing and Yuanyuan are somewhat similar in their innocence, but Bingbing is too childish. She doesn't have the innocence and pampering of Yuanyuan. In addition, Bingbing's height—"
Yue Xinyi burst out laughing, "I don't think Mei Fang would have such an idea of overestimating his own capabilities. It's impossible."
"Girls like Liu Xiaoyu are gentle and considerate, hardworking and motivated, and quietly do their job well. They never worry others, but only make people feel distressed. Would Ah Fang like such a girl?"
"There are many gentle and considerate girls, and Xiaoyu gives me the impression that she is too gentle but not brave enough. I feel that even if she likes Mei Fang, she won't confess her love to him."
Yue Xinyi pondered, "A girl with this kind of personality can be a good wife to Mei Fang when he is on the rise, but she won't be able to stand up for him when he is in crisis. Mei Fang will have a good impression of such a girl, but he probably won't like her."
"The courage you mentioned... should be referring to the time when Yuanyuan stood up against the homeroom teacher before?"
"You are also very courageous. Since you became the class monitor... you have become very cool."
"Since you mentioned courage, I have to mention this type of girl... There is a type of girl who is outspoken, dares to love and hate, and leaves without looking back."
"You mean Xiaoxue, right..."
Yue Xinyi thought for a while and said, "According to what you said, Xiaoxue ran away from home before, and now she starts to study seriously. Is it really related to Mei Fang?"
“There is some connection.”
"You said Xiaoxue is a girl who never looks back. Her charm lies in her independent personality, but this also means that it is difficult for her to accommodate other people's ideas. Even if Mei Fang is attracted to her and is with her, they will probably quarrel often, and then nothing will happen."
Yue Xinyi thought for a moment, then continued, "Then let me say something personal. Artistic youths like Peng Xue are actually more uninhibited and free on the surface, but they are very twisted inside. If I'm not telling you, I would never have thought that this guy would have feelings for Mei Fang."
"So you think that Peng Xue isn't very courageous."
"On the one hand, it's because Yuanyuan is here... I think she loves Yuanyuan more than Mei Fang, so it's even more impossible for her to do anything to Mei Fang."
Yue Xinyi frowned and said, "That's just talking about Peng Xue, but if there weren't so many concerns... I don't think Mei Fang would like girls like Peng Xue either."
"Haha, I think Mei Fang's personality is hard to control."
"So do you think Ah Fang can control me?"
"You? You are a different matter..."
Yue Xinyi shook her head. "Let's not talk about the past. Even if you are now at a higher level in love than Mei Fang, you can't bear to be devoted to him. If it weren't for this, I don't think you two could have any intersection."
"That's what I said."
Lin Youxi smiled and nodded. When she was about to continue, Yue Xinyi waved her hand and said, "The last one is Yunyun. I'll tell you guys!"
"I think Guo Yun's personality is more of a people-pleasing type of girl. She was very inferior and downtrodden at first, but when she was at her lowest point, it was Mei Fang who encouraged her to grow up and discovered her strengths. She reciprocated and became an excellent girl."
"To be honest, this kind of girl is very easy to be PUA. She will work hard for someone who recognizes her. But I don't know whether it is unfortunate or lucky that she first met a kind person like Mei Fang who is impeccable in everything he does."
"She may not lack courage, but also has the spirit of perseverance. The experience of the ugly duckling turning into a swan is also a perfect template for the heroine."
"But it's actually very difficult to get rid of the inferiority complex in front of Mei Fang. If there weren't any better girls around her, it would be fine. But with you and Yuan Yuan, her childhood sweethearts, standing in the way, how dare she like Mei Fang? She would only try if neither of you existed."
"Then, if these girls don't have a chance, what are the advantages of women in society?"
"We are friends who have similar values and are like-minded. However, there are women in society who flirt with that kind of thing and seduce Mei Fang with that kind of astringent things... You know what I mean, right? You have also read the novels I recommended to you. There are some female villains in them, or the third party is—"
"Well, I know that. I have learned all those methods, and I have tried them on a smaller scale."
"Huh? What do you mean tried?"
Lin Youxi rarely showed affection towards Yue Xinyi. He pulled Yue Xinyi and whispered in her ear. The battle-hardened Yue Xinyi couldn't help but blush until her face was distorted.
"My Chao, I let you read novels so that you can wake up to the consciousness of love as soon as possible, not so that you can learn those routines. You have put them into practice, right? Those are just tricks to fool young girls who have never been in love. They are not military tactics. My God!"
"Anyway, the target is Ah Fang, he won't mind if I do something wrong to him, he may even cooperate with me."
Lin Youxi's face was filled with a happy smile, which almost made Yue Xinyi break down.
"If you're really that good at having fun... then I have nothing to worry about... but why are you so upset that you want to break up? There's no fun to be had now, right? Huh?"
"Um-"
Lin Youxi pursed her lips and smiled without saying anything. That meaningful expression of "you know what I mean" immediately broke Yue Xinyi's defense.
"You're not still... Then you broke up because you were lonely, right? Hmm? Let me ask you-"
“Ahhh!”
Yue Xinyi was just about to ask Lin Youxi the truth about the current relationship between the three of them when a painful cry suddenly came from the front. Everyone looked in the direction of the target and found Zhang Ming lying on the ground, rolling around holding his ankle.
Seeing this, Mei Fang immediately handed the camera to Xia Yuan, then rushed towards Zhang Ming. After carefully asking him questions and checking his injuries, he helped Zhang Ming stand up.
"Are you okay? What happened to Zhang Ming?" Everyone came over at this time, and Mei Fang explained:
"It seems like he was stung by something first, and then stepped on a conch and sprained his ankle. Anyway, I'll take him to have a look first."
"Is it so unlucky?" Yue Xinyi shook her head. "It's just a sprained ankle. How serious can it be?"
"That's easy to say, try spraining your foot yourself, you idiot..."
"Okay, stop comparing. If you have time for that, you might as well pay more attention to your feet. You're still walking barefoot on the sand. I really admire you, you idiot!"
"I just wanted to feel what it's like to live a down-to-earth life. Who knew I would be so unlucky!"
"Huh... Stop talking so much. Let's go to the clinic on the beach and get checked out. Do you have college student medical insurance? If not, pay for it yourself. Don't think I'll pay for it just because I have a lot of money."
"Just pay the money, stop arguing! Take me to the infirmary immediately. If I get bitten to death by some poisonous creature in the sea, you will be held 50% responsible."
"You bastard, I saved your life and you blame me—"
Mei Fang supported Zhang Ming and kept comparing all the way. The scene was full of beautiful imaginations. Lin Youxi and Yue Xinyi watched this scene calmly.
After a while, Lin Youxi spoke:
"How do you count Zhang Ming? Just a random comment? I feel like our Ah Fang is quite concerned about him... We didn't play together much, will he threaten Yuan Yuan's position?"
"The bonds between men, these stupid creatures, are ridiculous. I don't want to comment too much on this."
Yue Xinyi turned her head away with a guilty conscience: "Besides, I am a lifelong fan of orthodox childhood sweethearts and sweet stories. I don't read Omi Pure Love, and I don't understand anything about CP selling gay girls or anything like that..."
I am so tired. Typing is so hard. Nothing could be more painful than this chapter.
