I will not die!

The death of Brother Chao did not bring much change to my life. I still type code every day and I still get my salary. However, because Brother Chao is gone, the parts he was responsible for naturally fall on other people, and I am one of them. one. But the biggest change is probably that I was assigned a new master, although I am basically able to do my job on my own. The new master's name is OUNE, a keyboard musician for six years.

He is a completely different person from Brother Chao. He doesn’t smoke, drink, or perm his hair, and he doesn’t speak loudly. He is a very amiable person. In addition, he is not like Brother Chao who will always ask for dinner.

However, after all, I was suddenly arranged by the team leader, and the relationship was still a bit unfamiliar, so even if I encountered problems at the beginning, I would turn to Yakumo for help instead of him.

After fixing another bug, I took out my phone and wanted to relax, but my mind was always troubled by problems with my game, so I opened the search engine to see if anyone else had dealt with similar problems.

As soon as I opened it, a scantily clad game advertisement popped up in the interface.

"Oh, here’s a new recipe, Teacher Guang."Yakumo's mean voice suddenly sounded from behind me.

I turned off the advertisement and said:"There, I have a lot of magic tricks, these are always in there."

"Hey, let me see it too and see how wide it is"

"You plug this data cable into your brain, and I'll send it to you directly. It's faster this way."

"I will die before you can pass it on. Alas, I won’t chat with you anymore. What are you searching for?"

I really wanted to tell him not to look at other people's phones, but I just said that it was a problem I encountered while making games.

"Oh, what's the problem? Let me take a look."

I showed it to him. It's strange to say why I never thought of asking him before.

Who knows, Yakumo only took one look and thought of a solution:"This, use the Fibonacci sequence. ah"

"I tried it, but it didn't work well"

"how could be."Yakumo took my keyboard and crackled it, used my computer to demonstrate it, and then said,"Isn't this pretty good?"

I looked at the computer in disbelief and saw that the effect he demonstrated was indeed what I wanted. But the problem is, I have tried it before. Why.

I frowned and read Yakumo's code carefully. , and finally discovered the clues. The formula he used in the sequence was different from mine. Although there was only a few characters difference, his formula was more complete and more accurate.

Yes, although Yakumo is now the same as me We work in the same company and earn the same salary, but we have always been in two different worlds. After all, we are top students from a second-rate university, and I am just a bastard from a fifth-rate university. We are not at the same level at all.. The signs started to show up when Chao-nii was still there. Yakumo almost never asked Chao-nii about his work, but I was like a problem baby. I kept getting all kinds of strange questions every day. Chao-nii passed away. The same is true for the final arrangement. He and I obviously entered the company at the same time, but I was the only one who was assigned the new master. Only me.

A trace of jealousy and a huge amount of helplessness came to me. Even if I didn’t want to admit it, Yakumo He has always been a much better and more capable person than me. Even if we are temporarily at the same height and in the same situation, we cannot hide this tragic fact

"What's wrong, doesn't this work?"Yakumo asked

"No, I just suddenly thought that with your school background, wouldn’t it be better to join some companies with higher wages?"

"Salary is not everything. Besides, there are many people who are better than me, so I don’t want to fight to the death."

Yes, although Yakumo is already very powerful in my eyes, he is still from a second-rate university, and he is not among the top students in a second-rate university.

What an annoying gap.

"I think you're pretty awesome. Yakumo smiled heartily:"If you had seen a really powerful guy, you might not think so.""

I thanked Yakumo, and I focused my attention on the company's projects again. I didn't want to think about my game anymore until I went home.

……

Most people in this world are stupid, so I have to be considerate of them, but I also have to always remember that I am a stupider person than most. I don’t know how to cook, drive, or do any sports. I don’t understand etiquette, atmosphere, and all kinds of things that are taken for granted. I must thank those stupid people. It’s not their stupidity. I can’t live peacefully with such stupidity and incompetence. In this world.

I forgot who said this, or maybe no one said it at all, but if possible, I hope the person who said this can add something more. If I don’t want to thank you, am I not worthy of living in this world?.

I'm not trying to make a point, I just think it's better this way. What's better? Just... ah, strange thoughts kept popping up in my mind, and I was finally able to calm down for a while.

Although I know there is little hope, what will happen if the game I make becomes popular? Will someone come to interview me, will someone ask me to collaborate, will someone want to extract value from me, will someone thank me because they like my work?

As long as I get started, my brain will keep thinking like this, thinking out how to deal with each scenario, and then thinking about all the changes that may happen.

There is no end at all.

If this continues, let alone playing games, I can't even dream properly.

Concentrate, concentrate, must concentrate.

I hit my head twice, then put on my headphones and clicked on random play. The melodious songs quickly filled my brain. That's it, I drove out all those distracting thoughts.

While I was immersed in the music, suddenly, I seemed to hear a burst of rapid footsteps, and the force was so strong that the table seemed to shake.

No, it doesn’t seem like it, it’s true, there was an earthquake!

I hurriedly closed the computer and wanted to rush out with it, but I immediately thought, I live on the fifth floor, is it really too late to go out now?

A primal fear crept into my heart, the fear of nature that was engraved into my genes.

I picked up the computer, covered myself with a quilt and hid in the bathroom. I just held the computer and felt that my heart was beating as fast as the vibration. At the same time, I felt cold all over my body, even though it was over 40 degrees outside.

After about a minute, maybe less, but I felt like it was more than a minute, the shaking stopped.

I tentatively came out of the bathroom and saw that everything was fine in the house, except that a lot of trash cans and snacks had fallen on the floor.

When the earthquake happened, I felt as if the world was going to end, but once it was over, I felt that the previous earthquake was not that strong, at least not enough to affect my actions.

After a while, my phone rang.

It was my mother. The content of the call was of course about the earthquake just now. When I heard her familiar voice, I actually felt a little relieved.

"Guangyuan, are you okay? Are you safe?"

"Well, I'm fine, how about you?"

"We're fine. Oops, I was scared to death. The shaking just now made me feel like the whole sky was about to collapse. I don't know if you can see it over there, but there was thunder in one direction just now. It was as bright as daytime. One person even fainted and hasn't woken up yet."

If there was an earthquake, shouldn't it be the ground that collapsed? I didn't say what I was thinking, but instead asked:"I didn't see it here. What about the inside of the house? Is there nothing wrong with the house?"

"No, nothing happened, everything was fine. When I was going out just now, I saw the lightning rod on the roof of the building next to me. It was shaking faster than a dog. It was really scary."

"Um."It was indeed scary just now, but once the earthquake passed, I couldn't even feel a little scared.

"Are you still in the house now?"

"yes"

"There may be aftershocks later. Go out and hide for a while. Wait until the aftershocks subside before entering the house."

"Well, you too"

"Yeah, we will, stay safe, ugh, it's so scary"

"Well, you should also pay attention to safety"

"Then let's do this first"

"Um."

After waiting for a few seconds, there was indeed another voice from my mother's side:"You see, you should still believe in God. It is because of your belief in God that nothing has happened to our family. God will protect us."

"Um"

"Please pray more when you have time."

"Um."

The phone hung up and I sat down on the bed. I opened the communication software and saw that everyone in the company's group chat was discussing the earthquake just now. The real-time news was also broadcast. The earthquake occurred in District 105 with an intensity of 9.0. It was considered a serious earthquake. It was a pretty strong earthquake. If it weren't far enough away from District 126, where I live, the building I live in would probably be choked.

The next morning, as expected, everyone in the company was discussing yesterday's earthquake, and everyone's face showed fear. My dead fish eyes look out of place in there

"This earthquake is too terrible. I heard that the current death toll has exceeded 10,000. There are still many missing and countless injured.……"

"Wow, that’s terrible. Are there many disasters in our area?"

"Fortunately, I heard that only a few people were injured so far."

"If this were any closer, I really don’t know how it would shake. I’m really scared just thinking about it."

"It seems that District 105 is not in the earthquake zone. How could such a strong earthquake happen?"

"Earthquakes are not only possible in seismic zones"

"I don’t know when the aftershocks will come. I really don’t want to experience it again."

"Guangyuan, I am very happy to see you are still alive."Yakumo came up to me and said

"oh"

"Look at your expression. Didn't you suddenly get an earthquake yesterday while you were doing that shameful thing?"

"Are you talking about yourself?"

"Ha, if you don’t deny it, it’s affirmative."

"Didn’t you deny it too?"

"No need, because the way of heaven lies within the human heart"

"Then can you show me your heart and see if the law of heaven is in it?"

"I'll show you a piece later"

"It is recommended that you go through your whole body, especially your brain, to see if it is still there and whether it has been parasitized."

"The same goes for you. I suggest you find a time to do it to avoid sudden death."

"……"

The earthquake storm lasted for nearly a month. I don't know if I should call it lucky. The aftershocks that had always been worrying did not appear once. Time passed quickly. The difficult summer was finally over again, and this year's snowfall was coming again.

As soon as it snows, people will think of the New Year again. Although I said so many times before the New Year that I should go back, I should go back, but in the end I still did not go back. The reason is that the company needs someone to stay behind. Although this was not an outright lie, staying behind was actually voluntary, and I participated.

I don't want to go back. There's no reason either.

What surprised me was that Yakumo was also among those left behind. I thought he would take this time to spend time with his girlfriend.

"My home is very close, and my girlfriend and I are both night owls, so I don’t want to triple my salary during the holidays. Hey, Guangyuan, what about you? Why do you want to stay?"

"I didn't get a ticket home."Actually, I haven't robbed it from Ben.

"Are there so many people on the line in your hometown? I have never been unable to get a ticket."

"well enough."It's not much, but it's very long. There are only five days of vacation, and it takes two more days to travel by car. Maybe this is one of the reasons why I don't want to go back.

"Next time, be sure to grab it early. You can’t get it even a month in advance."

"Um……"This excuse won’t work next time.

The stay-at-home during the Chinese New Year was very busy. Yakumo spent almost the whole day exchanging messages with his girlfriend, and he thought about getting off work every day when he went to work.

I'm developing my own game secretly, and haven't encountered any major problems recently.

My family called me again in the evening. Those who had already heard the content of the ear cocoon said it over and over again. They took the trouble to talk about it, asked the questions without getting tired of, and I took the trouble to answer them.

When will it be the end?

"have you eaten?*

"have eaten"

"what to eat"

"noodle"

"Oh... let’s eat something good during the Chinese New Year too"

"Nothing to eat."

She repeated what I said in a low voice, and then said:"Are you the only one in your company who stays to work overtime?"

"No, there are others"

"He doesn't let others work overtime, so he wants you to work overtime?"

"I was late in grabbing tickets and didn’t get a ticket."

"Oh, grab it earlier next time"

"Um."

As soon as I ran out of excuses, I thought of the next one, so I simply said that the company doesn't take holidays. Anyway, it's true that we don't take holidays on normal holidays. Anyway, all the charges will be placed on the sinister boss. He is so... There are so many crimes, but I am not the least of them.

"Your company doesn't usually take holidays very often."

"Well, basically all year round"

"What company?……"

Wasn't it the same when you were working in the past? Now it's just my turn to change careers. Shouldn't you be used to this kind of thing?

"You are no longer a young man, it’s time to find someone."My mother suddenly changed the topic to marriage,"You are still young now. What will happen when you get old? Don't be too picky. If you like someone, just go for it."

"Um"

"That's it then……"

"Um."
