"I'm hungry."
Having said enough, Wu Wei's stomach rumbled. He stood up.
"What do you want to eat? Hot pot or barbecue?"
Wu Wei's approach was top-notch.
When asking a girl out, don't ask if she wants to go.
Directly asking what she wants to eat yields much better results.
"The cafeteria is fine,"
Shen Yunshi said with a smile.
'Explosive News! Campus Belle Spotted Dining with a Man at the Cafeteria!'
'Who is this guy?'
'Beat up Young Master Xiang! Dating the Campus Belle! Who is he? Why is he so bold?'
'Campus Belle Chasing Him? Who is this person? Can anyone shed some light?'
'...'
In the dorm room, Zhang Zhiyuan and his two brothers stared at the posts on the school forum, growing more shocked the more they read.
"Old Third, what's going on?"
Liu He asked.
"I really don't know!"
Lu Bian looked innocent.
"I admit, Old Fourth asked me to arrange a meeting with the campus belle,"
"But I brought my girlfriend and left halfway through! I honestly don't know what happened afterwards!"
"A meeting? To talk about what?"
Zhang Zhiyuan asked, confused.
"About a commission,"
Lu Bian pointed to the Zhiyou page on his computer.
"We're making this game, right? Wu Wei wanted to commission the campus belle for illustrations as backgrounds. It's business!"
"Business?"
Meanwhile, in the girls' dorm, Fang Jin was also 'interrogating' Shen Yunshi.
"So, 'business' lasted all the way until dinner?"
Her face screamed disbelief.
"You talked from eleven in the morning until the sun went home. Tsk tsk tsk, Shishi, you didn't... you didn't get together with that Wu Wei, did you..."
As she said this, Fang Jin's face was filled with teasing.
Shen Yunshi's face turned bright red!
"I, I really went to talk business with him!"
"His game concept is very interesting, and he has many unique ideas for the illustrations! Besides, he's not that kind of person!"
"That's why... that's why we talked for so long!"
Shen Yunshi explained frantically.
"Ooh ooh ooh, look at our little Shishi getting all flustered!"
Another girl in the dorm teased.
"Exactly, exactly,"
Fang Jin giggled.
"You're praising him so much! I've never seen you praise any guy this highly before!"
"And you say there's nothing going on?"
"Huh?"
The three girls surrounded her, looking like they were about to 'interrogate' her.
Shen Yunshi felt like crying.
Now, even if she jumped into the Yellow River, she couldn't clear her name.
The night was silent.
Shen Yunshi lay on her bed, the small curtain drawn, tossing and turning.
The words of her dorm mates echoed in her mind.
That's right.
Why would I subconsciously defend Wu Wei, a man I've only met once?
Shen Yunshi felt her face grow warm.
She tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Inspiration, shyly, began to bloom.
Shen Yunshi sat up.
Quietly, she fetched her notebook and connected her drawing tablet.
Opening her drawing tools, Shen Yunshi wrote the name of one of the game's levels on the draft—
P4-Love Letter.
"Yes, if we flip the vortex icon, it can add a bit of fun and difficulty."
"Old Second, are you dense? Rabbits naturally represent speed, and turtles naturally represent slowness!"
"Old Wu, does this design work? According to what you said, fold it at the tempo change."
"I feel like the rhythm of this piece is too strong. Putting it in the eighth level makes it too easy. Either move it forward or replace it."
"Old Zhang, come here for a second. I can't figure out the movement logic here!"
"..."
In Wu Wei's dorm, preparations for the new game were in full swing.
The four brothers each had their roles, with Wu Wei as the chief designer, working together closely.
Like construction workers, they were building this game that tormented players' minds higher and higher.
These three brothers were not a wasted recruitment by Wu Wei.
When they had nothing else to do, it wasn't obvious.
But once they formed this studio, their abilities were completely unleashed.
New inspiration for gameplay, optimization of controls, and unique insights into game art all erupted with strong sparks through their constant exchange of ideas!
At the same time, the three brothers also gained a new understanding of Wu Wei through the project!
In Zhang Zhiyuan's words, Wu Wei was a natural devil for this type of game!
He always came up with mind-tormenting ideas at crucial points.
Take, for example, the tempo changes in this game.
Wu Wei chose to first lay down four steady bars of eight beats, and then add two consecutive heavy hits on the fifth bar.
Suddenly speeding up, catching players off guard, and forming a large loop.
And just when players thought they had grasped this rhythm.
He would maliciously leave out half a beat in the same position in the next loop!
Let alone players encountering the game for the first time, even they, who had played it more than ten times during the trial run, sometimes couldn't react in time!
In the later levels, Wu Wei also designed various speed changes and reversals!
Originally, the rhythm of the game became as fast as a machine gun towards the end, and keeping up with the tempo was already a bit strenuous!
