Chapter 14: Long Forgotten
The live broadcast of the Software Talent Show ended in an awkward silence, but it revealed one thing to the viewers: Professor X’s number one fan had emerged...
Although no one knew what exactly "eat your words" meant, the bet between Lonely Seeking Thin and Wang Zhaoming spread quickly in the community.
In this world, technologies like network brains developed rapidly due to wars. Although the world was now peaceful, using these devices for entertainment was still in its early stages. The bet between Lonely Seeking Thin and Wang Zhaoming had become a major event.
After the broadcast, many people were left wondering: “What exactly is 'eat your words'?”
Additionally, the idea that "sb" could be translated as "stupid" also spread unexpectedly due to the show.
“How could you do that? This was the Software Talent Show, and the other party was from SB Company. Do you not want to stay in this industry?” After the broadcast, Jianfan immediately started scolding Fang Xi angrily.
Jianfan Studio was small, and SB could easily crush them if they wanted to. During the broadcast, Jianfan had almost stormed onto the stage to deal with Fang Xi himself! However, considering Fang Nan, who was standing by Fang Xi and was equally indignant, he held back.
Fang Nan, a girl with a beautiful appearance but the essence of a tomboy, coldly said, “They were being too much. I would have done the same. Why are they targeting Professor X?”
“We’ve never even met Professor X. What’s the use of defending him?” Jianfan rolled his eyes, “Fang Xi, you left him a message, right? Did he reply?”
Hearing this, Fang Xi suddenly remembered and rushed to check his message board. He had been checking it frequently to avoid missing any reply from Professor X. Despite constant disappointment, his admiration for Professor X remained undiminished.
Jianfan snorted, “If he wanted to contact you, he would have done it already. It wouldn’t take this long...”
“Ahhhhhh!!!”
The fat guy’s scream interrupted Jianfan. His voice was filled with joy, “Professor X replied to me!”
“Hello, I’m very interested in your studio. My network brain contact address is xxxxxx. I hope to receive your communication request.” Fang Xi read out the message excitedly.
Before Jianfan and Fang Nan could react, Fang Xi was already applying to contact Ye Cui on his network brain.
“Professor X, here I come!”
...
While Fang Xi was sending the communication request, Ye Cui was busy developing his game, Elimination.
The programming interface of the Cangjie language flickered on the screen. For a coding expert, a simple program like Elimination might take less than an hour. But for Ye Cui, who had only basic programming skills, it was not easy. Even with the foundation of Link Link, it would take three to four days to complete.
Thinking about certain aspects, Ye Cui couldn’t help but miss tools from another world like Flash and Photoshop, which could assist in game development. Here, he had to start from scratch.
“If only I could develop Flash, I could use it to create all sorts of mini-games easily.”
Ye Cui couldn’t help but think.
But for now, it was just a thought. Creating such a tool was not easy.
Ye Cui had a habit of turning off his phone when working. In this world, there were no phones, but the network brain served a similar function. So, when Fang Xi sent his communication request, Ye Cui’s network brain was turned off.
Since being reincarnated in this world, Ye Cui had been paralyzed for half a year. His social circle had rapidly shrunk, and now he had almost no friends. The network brain had become almost unnecessary for him.
Thus, when he turned on his network brain three days later...
“Brother, you should come out and walk in the sun every day, otherwise, staying cooped up at home all the time will make you rusty.”
In the bright sunshine, in the community park, Ye Ling was pushing Ye Cui’s wheelchair. She spoke in a crisp voice as they moved through the dappled light and shadows.
She had been working as a pianist in a hotel for a week. As expected, she was doing well and had been assigned to the night shift, indicating that the high-end restaurant valued her. Her daily wages had also increased.
Today, with some free time during the day, she had taken Ye Cui out to enjoy the sun.
Ye Cui felt very comfortable, not just because of the warm sunlight, but also because of his sister’s sincere care.
The community park was nicely developed. Gradually, Ye Ling pushed Ye Cui to a flower bed. Feeling a bit tired, she sat by the flower bed and stretched comfortably.
The eighteen-year-old girl, lost in thought, showed a fleeting look of worry but quickly masked it. She opened the portable network brain on her wrist and started playing something with interest.
Ye Cui found it amusing and asked, “Xiaoling, what are you playing?”
“A game,” Ye Ling said cheerfully.
“A game?” Ye Cui was surprised, “Link Link?”
“No...” Ye Ling said with a smile, “It’s the second game circulating online.”
“The second game?” Ye Cui was puzzled. Had someone else developed a game? He quickly asked, “What’s this second game?”
“Really? Brother, you stay at home so much that you don’t even know this?” Ye Ling pretended to be surprised, “It’s Little Cat Adventure. The developer is called Lonely Seeking Thin. It’s said this game was created under Professor X’s guidance. Although it’s not as good as Link Link, it’s quite fun.”
“Little Cat... Adventure?” Ye Cui vaguely remembered this name as a boring software. How did it become so popular now?
Seeing Ye Cui’s expression, Ye Ling looked defeated and said, “Brother, you really should pay more attention to online news. The most famous software developer now is someone called Professor X, nicknamed God X. Link Link is his work. Lonely Seeking Thin developed Little Cat Adventure under his guidance. It’s been uploaded for three days and already has fifty thousand downloads. Although it’s far from Link Link’s numbers, it’s quite impressive for a regular software...”
Ye Ling continued to talk, but Ye Cui was silent. He was stunned. When had he ever guided this Lonely Seeking Thin?
The message he left for Lonely Seeking Thin was completely casual, and he had long forgotten about it...
