04. Forget It, Really Forget It
“Get lost,” Su Qi said with no enthusiasm!
He grabbed a box of grilled meat with rice and started eating!
The grilled meat rice was from a small stall at the entrance of Su University. It wasn’t because the cafeteria food wasn’t good that they chose it.
In Wu Wei’s words, as men, sometimes you have to eat something unhealthy! Besides, the portion of grilled meat they gave was also very big!
For the two sports jocks Wang Dongxu and Wu Wei, every time they ate, they would burp. This shows how thoughtful the boss was.
Summers in Su Village were very hot, and even with the air conditioning on, the room was a bit stuffy.
“Brother Qi, why don’t you eat shirtless, that would be much cooler!” Wu Wei said.
As a Northeasterner and also in the dorm, which was like his own home, Wu Wei very easily continued the custom of going bare-chested.
Su Qi looked at his sturdy muscles, even the sides of his abdomen had abdominal lines. Thinking of how his own brother ridiculed him for having a scrawny body at home, Su Qi gave up on this idea!
“Nah, it’s not that hot! Still bearable. Oh right, I’ll give you some meat, I can’t finish it.” As Su Qi spoke, he pushed the grilled meat from his bowl into Wu Wei’s bowl.
“Thanks, Brother Qi.” Wu Wei chuckled.
Su Qi found it quite amazing. After all, it was he who bought the meal back, and he was thanking him for giving him some meat.
“Brother Qi, I want some too!” Wang Dongxu, who was playing a game on the side, also passed his bowl over.
One look and it was already empty. Is this guy a pig? He ate so fast?
But if he gave him more, there wouldn’t be enough for himself!
“We’re having a big meal at night, so eat less at noon!” Su Qi refused.
Hearing about having a big meal, the two suddenly felt that the rice in their hands wasn’t appetizing anymore. After all, how could grilled meat with rice compare to the deliciousness of hot pot and barbecue.
Wu Wei nimbly picked out the meat in the rice, while Wang Dongxu simply stopped eating.
Seeing them like this, Su Qi joked, “You two are going to eat me into poverty!”
Wang Dongxu said, “Hitting the rich is everyone’s responsibility. Besides, your game is so interesting, you must be earning a lot. What plans do you have! Spill it, how much have you earned!”
Su Qi opened his phone and looked at the numbers. The game was selling for 59 yuan per copy and had sold over 2,500 copies so far, with revenue of over 100,000 yuan. However, the growth rate was now slowing down.
Su Qi expressed understanding of this situation. After all, the spirit of the Internet now was sharing. Although he had set up professional codes in the game to prevent copying, it was a bit weak in the face of computer experts. He thought that by tomorrow, the resources would be flying all over the place. The majority of the first batch of buyers bought it out of sentiment.
Wang Dongxu had sharp eyes and immediately saw Su Qi’s phone. Seeing the six-digit number, he was a bit shocked. Wu Wei also leaned over and saw the number on it, also looking a bit stunned.
They couldn’t help but sigh: Are we really the same age?
Dormitory 302 in Building 4 was located on the west side of the B campus of Su University. There were four people in this dormitory. In order of age, they were the dormitory’s oldest Han Yixing, second oldest Wu Wei, third oldest Wang Dongxu, and youngest Su Qi.
Han Yixing was the local tyrant of Su Village. In the eyes of Wu Wei and Wang Dongxu, this guy was a proper upstart second generation rich. Why was he considered to be studying?
Now that he was in college, he had already started taking over his family’s business. So he only came to class from time to time, and rarely returned to the dormitory.
But he got along well with the dormitory.
In Wang Dongxu’s view, he and Han Yixing belonged to two different worlds. After all, their family backgrounds were too different. His starting point might already be an endpoint that he could never reach in this lifetime.
Young people all love to compare, and if you say you don’t compare at all, that’s impossible! University is a big dye vat. Even if you don’t want to be dyed a color, you will be splashed with other people’s dyes.
So Wang Dongxu turned his attention to the other two roommates. Wu Wei was from the Northeast and very generous. He occasionally did some part-time jobs and seemed to be from an ordinary family.
As for Su Qi, Wang Dongxu found him a bit hard to understand.
He remembered that on the first day of college, many parents would come to take a look at the environment. Even the parents of the second generation rich Han Yixing inspected the school and chatted with his own parents and Wu Wei’s parents.
Then he saw Su Qi dragging a large suitcase by himself and when asked by his parents, “Who accompanied you here?”
Su Qi calmly said, “I came by myself!”
At that time, Wang Dongxu thought this young man was very independent, until that night when Su Qi took a call from his family. The voice on the other end of the phone was very loud and also very domineering. Wang Dongxu only remembered hearing that sentence from very far away.
If you don’t come back today, don’t ever come back.
He later learned through hints.
Su Qi’s parents were very domineering, while Su Qi was a stubborn person. He went against his parents’ wishes and secretly applied, so his family cut off all his finances, and even his tuition was paid by his own loan. Su Qi, who was a year younger than them, was only 18 years old this year, but he was already carrying pressure on his shoulders.
To be honest, Wang Dongxu thought that if he didn’t have the money provided by his family to go to school, he would feel like he was going to collapse.
But slowly, this thin and weak nerd Su Qi made them drop their jaws. One after another, two-dimensional original paintings appeared in his hands.
The characters seemed to have come alive! Wang Dongxu had some understanding. Some large animation production companies would outsource projects, and outsourcing companies would then seek help from the original painters in society.
A beautiful picture could sell for around 200-500 yuan.
And Su Qi’s pictures took about four hours each. He said his quality could probably sell for around 400 yuan.
Even if he only produced one picture a week, it was still a considerable income. And later, he gradually discovered that Su Qi was actually a doujin artist with the Chinese online name “Brother Qi”. It was funny that he had even reverently read them late at night and fapped a few times to show his satisfaction.
For a while, he had even more respect for this somewhat delicate-looking nerd.
And seeing Su Qi with revenue of over 100,000 yuan, at this moment, whether it was Wu Wei or Wang Dongxu, they all had one thought.
Envious, really envious!
We must eat it back fiercely tonight and hit the rich!!
Su Qi didn’t know about their envious thoughts yet. Instead, he looked at the online data and felt that it was still a bit far from his expectations!
Wang Dongxu: ??
Wu Wei: ??
Su Qi said this with a basis! Not considering the situation of clearing it purely. The game duration was about 5 hours, which shows the game was conscientious.
100+ triggered events, 3500+ game CGs. Putting these aside, the game code was written by Su Qi alone from beginning to end.
Just for the code alone, even finding the cheapest programmer would cost over 20,000 yuan. And the effect was not guaranteed.
Not to mention the voice acting, which was all captured bit by bit by Su Qi after reading the materials.
If it was really produced by a team and only earned over 100,000 yuan in revenue, they would probably feel like they were losing money!
Although now it also looks like a big loss!
“Ding, system prompt, didn’t you get me for free?”
Su Qi: Hahaha—
