Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts Chapter 156: Mei Fangs Painful Memory

It was already dusk when i Fang returned from practicing guitar outside.

He noticed Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan sitting together, playing a ga. The sound of their keyboard typing was lively and energetic.

Oh no, oh no, Youxi, Im going to die! Help , help ! Taunt for !

Xia Yuan shouted loudly while playing the ga, being casual and carefree. Lin Youxi, on the other hand, remained calm and composed throughout, displaying the deanor of a skilled player.

Watching the two of them having a great ti, i Fang changed his shoes and asked them:

Are you two playing Dota or Dragon Nest?

The gas you ntioned are too exhausting to play. Were playing La Tale[1]!

Youre actually playing that?! Have you forgotten about the ti you got scamd while playing MapleStory?

i Fang, Lin Youxi, and Xia Yuan used to play MapleStory together. Xia Yuan loved the ga so much that she asked her father to help her top up her account.

During the Lunar New Year, Xia Yuan saw a ssage on the public chat saying that they were giving away 5E adventure coins. Naively, Xia Yuan happily went to the website to claim the reward, only to have her account stolen.

After that incident, Xia Yuan uninstalled MapleStory and i Fang and Lin Youxi didnt continue playing either.

The overall art style of La Tale was similar to MapleStory, and the gaplay was also a 2D side-scrolling MMO.

However, during its early operation, La Tale had a fair gaplay system. The items sold in the in-ga store didnt significantly affect the ga balance, and players had to rely on monster grinding and dungeon runs to obtain equipnt.

i Fang stood behind Xia Yuan and watched the two of them play for a while, reminiscing about the youthful days when he played MMOs with Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi. Suddenly, he felt the urge to play gas as well.

I want to play too! Which server are you in?

Server 3. But its too late for you to start now, weve already finished the beginners quests!

Thats not a problem Watch catch up to you in no ti.

While registering his account, i Fang dialed the number to top up his account using his kidney phone[2]. Mobile paynts had just beco popular in 2011, so many online gas still relied on prepaid cards and phone paynts.

To make it more convenient, i Fang topped up his account with a few thousand yuan worth of in-ga coins. He had no reservations about spending money on gas.

Do you want to give you so La Tale Coins (LTC) to get through the beginner stage? Lin Youxi raised her head and asked i Fang, but he shook his head.

No need, Ill just buy them directly from the trading market.

Xia Yuan seed to understand sothing and quickly got up from her seat to see what i Fang was doing.

Ah Fang, youre like a little dog! Why are you spending money on this ga as soon as you start playing?!

How can I not spend money on a ga like this? Instead of mindlessly leveling up and grinding monsters, Ill just make a one-ti paynt. Were ga developers ourselves, how can we let other ga developers use us to beco playthings for the pay-to-win whales?

Xia Yuan pushed i Fangs shoulder back and forth, saying, Ah Fang, youre so boring. You cant experience the true joy of the ga like this.

Wow, this person is selling an amazing Ice Lady Bow. Its currently only selling for 5,000 LTC. Yuan Yuan, I rember youre an archer, do you want this weapon? I have over a billion on right now.

Upon hearing it was her exclusive weapon, Xia Yuans eyes imdiately lit up with excitent.

Let see! Wow the stats are incredible! Ive been farming for hours and still havent found an Ice Lady Bow!

Do you want it? If not, Ill cancel the trade.

Yes, yes, yes, Ah Fang! Buy it for ! I beg you! Ill give you a massage and foot rub tonight!

Xia Yuan clung to i Fangs arm, acting spoiled and cute, and i Fang couldnt resist.

Fine, fine, fine, Ill buy it for you By the way, do you want to check the market for equipnt, see what youre missing?

Ill go to the market and browse myself. Just give the LTC.

In the early days of MMOs, having money really made the ga more enjoyable.

Players who grinded relentlessly were happy, and the wealthy players had fun too. Everyone traded with each other and enjoyed the social aspect of the ga.

Until later, developers kept cutting off opportunities for free-to-play players to get free items and put them up for sale in the in-ga store.

It was during that ti these gas slowly started to lose their original appeal.

All players beca servants and cash cows for the developers.

i Fang, Xia Yuan, and Lin Youxi played until after 7 p.m. before they rembered to cook dinner.

They divided the tasks clearly: i Fang washed the rice, Xia Yuan prepared the vegetables, and Lin Youxi took charge of cooking.

During this ti, Xia Yuan couldnt help but sigh, It would be great if we could also make an MMO PC ga thats as fun as this.

Making an MMO PC ga, huh

i Fang never even considered the idea of developing an MMO PC ga. After all, it required a large investnt, a well-coordinated team, high maintenance costs, and was prone to criticism. By 2018, when the last MMO PC ga that was still alive was released, there were really not many people making MMO PC gas anymore.

Well, it may seem quite fun, but in reality, it can be quite hard to make, you know?

Im just casually talking. But, developing such a large-scale ga on our own would give us a great sense of accomplishnt.

Xia Yuan murmured while picking vegetables, If we made a ga like that, I would be the Ga Master and bully those big shots whales every day, charging them money just to crush them. It would be so satisfying!

Look at your aspirations. Is that the only reason you want to make gas?

Ehehe When ga developers create their own gas, they must have fantasized about being powerful and influential characters in the ga world.

But usually, ga developers dont play their own gas much.

Ah, is that true? I dont believe it. Xia Yuan frowned, If thats the case, then it can only an the gas they make are really trash.

But if even the ga developer doesnt enjoy playing their own ga, how can they expect players to like it? Seriously, what are these ga designers thinking? Are they just want to get abused? Xia Yuan expressed her confusion.

Okay, okay, lets not talk about it anymore, please

Xia Yuans thoughtless words triggered Mai Fangs painful mory, and the mories of his previous lifeless life haunted him relentlessly.

When he was the lead developer, he had been working on garbage pay-to-win gas that he didnt even enjoy playing, all for a ager salary.

This was a far cry from his childhood dream of becoming a renowned ga producer like Hideo Kojima, Hironobu Sakaguchi, or Shigeru Miyamoto.

I-I didnt say that the gas you made werent fun, Ah Fang. Ive played all those small gas you made, including the ones we developed ourselves. The lifespan of my Reigns was the highest among my friends! If you dont believe , look at my phone, look, look

i Fang patted Xia Yuans shoulder, his expression firm and resolute.

One day, we will definitely try to make an MMO PC ga.

Well make an MMO PC ga that everyone loves, one that is truly conscientious and wont be criticized as a garbage pay-to-win ga.

i Fang wanted to make up for his long-standing dissatisfaction in making gas.

As long as we let go of the urge to make money and focus on developing and designing gas that are fun, it will surely rekindle everyones love for MMORPG and protect our own paradise!

Lin Youxi, who was silently listening to their conversation was puzzled. Rekindle? Arent people already enjoying playing MMOs now

I-In the future! Im talking about the future!

Ah Fang, you have such foresight. Now Im starting to itch for it too! Ah Fang, hurry up and grow up so you can make gas for to play!

After finishing their al together, i Fang took care of the dishes while Xia Yuan cut apples and distributed them to everyone.

She started by feeding Lin Youxi the apple in the living room, then ran to the kitchen to feed i Fang.

Okay, okay Dont force-feed .

Hmph You need to eat more fruits.

Xia Yuan reached out to put an apple into i Fangs mouth.

By the way, speaking of which, which song are you planning to sing at the upcoming Autumn Art Festival? i Fang asked.

Xia Yuan made a hushing gesture to i Fang.

Well, this ti its a secret. I cant tell you yet.

Still being secretive

Tsk, Ah Fang, youre the sa.

Xia Yuan stuck her tongue out at i Fang. Youre saying youre preparing a performance for the Autumn Art Festival, but we still dont know what song youre going to sing. We havent even seen the lyrics.

Oh, well

i Fang scratched his head. Actually, Im almost done with the preparations. I can play it for you girls tonight. If you think its not good enough, then I wont sign up.

Really? Really?

Xia Yuan excitedly linked her arm with i Fangs. Since youre already prepared, let and Youxi listen to it. Weve been looking forward to it for so long!
