December 24th, Christmas Eve.
It was snowing heavily outside.
The snowflakes drifted down and were illuminated by the street lights.
Lu Ye turned his head slightly. Sirona's cheeks were flushed, looking particularly alluring.
She walked to the door that was glowing with orange light.
She walked lightly to the front, stopped, and turned around with a smile.
"I've already thought of the menu later!"
"So fast?"
"Yes," Sirona said smugly.
She looked particularly lively. Lu Ye also walked up slowly.
"Why were you there just now?"
"I saw you guys having a snowball fight on the balcony, so I came down."
"You can come too … but you can't use your Ice Ibu. That's too much of a bully!"
"What about the Flaming Bite Land Shark?"
Mr. Lu looked conflicted. "Let me think about it."
Sirona looked at this scene with a smile. She slowly exhaled a breath of white air, felt her throbbing heart, and said softly.
"It feels … a little different."
"What?"
Sirona shook her head. She tucked her blonde hair behind her ear, and her eyes curved into crescents.
"Nothing … let's have a snowball fight later!"
"Actually, it's not bad to stay at home and play chess," Mr. Lu said softly.
Sirona's deep eyes glowed as she smiled and said, "Don't worry.
"Then let's play games ~"
…
Back in the room, warmth greeted them.
Lu Ye released the little guys and prepared to take them to a hot bath.
Pokémon, like humans, could catch a cold.
Take Pikachu for example. If there was unnatural electricity in its cheeks, it was the early symptoms of a cold.
In reality, there was also the profession of a Pokémon doctor. Xiao Gang himself was proficient in this field.
A red light flew out of the Pokeball.
The little guys started to play in the room, still immersed in the playful atmosphere just now.
"Chak Chak Chak Chak Chak!" Bobi took small steps and ran out of the room excitedly.
But Mr. Lu had already picked it up and said helplessly,
"Don't go out if you're sweating. You'll catch a cold easily."
"Du Yi!" Bobby nodded solemnly. When Lu Ye put it down, it ran to the door happily.
Mr. Lu picked Bobby up again.
After repeating this two or three times, Bobby seemed to like the game and giggled happily.
Sirona sat on the sofa and watched this scene with a smile.
"You go to the bathroom first. I'll take care of Pokeby for you," Sirona suggested.
Lu Ye thought for a moment, nodded, and picked up the fairy's Ibu.
"Boo!"
As if tired from playing, the fairy Ibu obediently laid on Lu Ye's shoulder.
When she came out of the bathroom, Fairy Ibu shook off the dewdrops on her ribbon and yawned lazily.
Sirona was nowhere to be seen.
When he arrived at the second floor, he looked out at the balcony. Sirona was happily throwing snowballs at Pokeby.
Lu Ye was taken aback. He smiled helplessly and shouted,
"It's time to eat!"
Sirona raised her head in realization. She exhaled a mouthful of white air and scratched her face in embarrassment.
"Cha Ji Du Yi ~ O (≧ ▽?) O"
Pokeby did not seem to have had enough, but Sirona still carried him into the room.
"I'll take Pokeby to the shower."
"Bring me along."
Sirona blinked her deep eyes and said in a teasing tone, "Don't worry.
"For sure next time?"
Mr. Lu looked at the sky silently.
This wave, this wave is the reincarnation of the world!
…
The sound of water splashing could be heard.
Mr. Lu glanced at Lucalio and quietly went to the kitchen.
Prepare today's dish, [Charyabin Steak with Rice].
He stir-fried fragrant red onions in the wok and made the sauce with red wine.
The steak was marinated before, and honey added flavor and tenderness to the steak.
He placed the fried steak on the pearl rice and layered a layer of golden red onions on top of the steak.
With Mr. Lu's cooking skills, this was at the level of "Tang Niu" no matter what.
"Ga …" The green onion soldier stood aside in fear. He was afraid that Mr. Lu couldn't find the right ingredients, so he cut the onions.
Lu Ye glanced at the green onion soldier and comforted him.
"Don't worry … You put the onions in the potted plant, and I'll just take some new leaves."
"Ga! = (????????) "The green onion soldier was stunned.
In the end, you still don't want to let go of the onions!
Sirona's taste was on the sweet side, so Mr. Lu spent a little more effort on the sauce.
After the main dish was finished, Mr. Lu began to prepare the menu that Sirona had requested.
The [Tang Yang Chicken Nuggets] placed on top of the fresh lettuce was golden and crispy. When one bit into it, one could taste the fresh and tender chicken meat.
Coupled with the iced cola, it was simply double the happiness.
Looking at the outstanding dishes, Lu Ye nodded with satisfaction.
He carried the dishes to the floor-to-ceiling window, where the elfins could eat together at the rectangular table.
The elfins were already drooling, waiting for the meal to start.
Sirona changed into a common black windbreaker and sat down leisurely, letting her golden hair fall.
The rich aroma wafted over.
Sirona picked up a piece of Tang Yang Chicken Nugget and took a small bite. She suddenly looked very happy.
"Ga …" Geng Gui rubbed his eyes in a daze.
Why did he just see that chicken nugget glowing?
When Sirona picked up the steak and rice, although her chopsticks were flying, her etiquette was still meticulous.
Mr. Lu stared at Sirona's cheeks with interest.
After a while, Sirona put down the bowl and chopsticks and gently exhaled.
"Your cooking skills seem to have improved again," Sirona said with blushing cheeks.
After all, she had evolved from [Special Chef] to [Spirit of the Eating Halberd]!
Mr. Lu sighed in his heart and immediately nodded.
"Because you added the most important thing in cooking."
"What?" Sirona blinked. "Fruit tree?"
"It's full of emotions."
Lu Ye said with a smile, "Embracing the good feelings that let the diner feel, the dishes will be more delicious."
"Ga!" (* ⊙ ~ ⊙) "The corner of Geng Gui's mouth was still stained with rice. He raised his head and handed the bowl to Mr. Lu.
Boss, another bowl!
The long rectangular table could accommodate several elfins for the two of them.
Clang! Clang! The sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding echoed.
"Crunch!" The Fiery-Bite Land Shark picked up the steak with its scythe and chewed unladylike.
Lucallio glanced at Jenni Tortoise, who was emitting waves of energy, and then looked down at the dishes in front of him.
"Lucallio …" Lucallio fell into deep thought.
Letting that human take care of Master … seemed like a good choice?
"Emotions … can make the dishes more delicious?"
Sirona remembered the last time when she made the cake with her own hands, and her cheeks suddenly turned red.
Then why did the cake I made taste so bad?
I clearly also —
"I have a Christmas present for you," Lu Ye suddenly said.
Sirona tilted her head slightly and nodded slightly.
Lu Ye walked to the bedroom and took out a guitar. After confirming that it was not out of tune, he casually plucked the chords.
"I heard it written by a homeless singer. I memorized it," Lu Ye said. "The name of the song is' Hey, Jude. '"
It was snowing heavily outside the house. A decorated Christmas tree on the street was flickering. A messenger bird was carrying a big bag, ready to send its blessings at any time.
The soft and gentle sound of the strings seemed to be able to dispel the coldness of the winter night.
[Hey, Jude don't make it bad.]
[Hey, Jude, don't be sad.]
[Take easy song and make it better …]
[Find a sad song and sing it to make it more cheerful …]
The music echoed in the small house. The little guys listened quietly.
This was a rock song that had been recorded in history. It was a lyrical song that was sung worldwide.
Mr. Lu's voice was very gentle. Even if only a small part of the song could be restored, it was still enough.
"Booyi ~" Fairy's Ibu ribbon was tied to her arm. She looked at Lu Ye thoughtfully.
Pokeby shrank into the eggshell and lay on Wind Speed Dog's warm back. He breathed evenly and had already entered a sweet dream.
"Toot, toot ~"
When the last note of the chord fell …
"Crunch ~!" The Fiery-Bite Land Shark's eyes were filled with tears.
Damn it, sand got into my eyes!
In the quiet and warm house.
Sirona's deep gray eyes reflected a faint light. She said softly, "Who is that wandering singer talking about?"
"Maybe it's his child, maybe it's his lover …"
Sirona suddenly interrupted.
It was as if he could see his own reflection in her bright eyes.
"Then he must love Jude very much."
Lu Ye thought for a long time, then nodded solemnly.
A faint smile appeared on Sirona's face as she said softly, "That's right.
"I like it very much."
Lu Ye was slightly stunned. Then, he smiled and nodded.
"Me too."
"Actually, I also prepared a gift …"
A rare shyness spread across Sirona's face.
She got up slowly and took out a small USB flash drive from her black jacket.
Mr. Lu was suddenly stunned.
"It's for Fairy Ibu."
Sirona said softly, "Although it's not as powerful as Deafening Sound … it can also enhance Fairy Ibu's mastery of Fairy Moves …"
"What … What is it?" Mr. Lu was so touched that his voice trembled.
"The Power of the Moon." Sirona smiled.
"The effect will be better if you train at night with good moonlight."
Mr. Lu pursed his lips.
He took the USB flash drive from Sirona's hand with mixed feelings.
Lu Ye: "Thank … Thank you!"
"As long as you like it." Sirona smiled faintly and looked down.
After all … compared to what you did, this was nothing.
Mr. Lu's mood was complicated.
He couldn't bear this grudge …
But if he didn't write something, he would feel sorry for the little notebook.
Lu Ye had an epiphany and took a deep breath.
Akin, I, Mr. Lu, will remember this grudge!
…
December 25th, Christmas.
Mr. Lu walked out of the room, yawning in Geng Gui's hooded pajamas.
In the living room.
Sirona was sitting on the sofa, shaking her head left and right, and the pendant on her hat swayed with it.
"I'll come too."
As he spoke, Mr. Lu pulled the band of his hat, and Geng Gui's ears immediately stood up.
"I'm a little embarrassed to say this."
Sirona smiled faintly and said, "I still like Pikachu more."
"What?!" Mr. Lu felt like he was struck by lightning.
Geng Gui, who was wearing Pikachu pajamas, poked his head out from behind Lu Ye. "Koujie?"
Sirona's eyes lit up and she smiled. "Come here, let me pinch you."
Geng Gui floated forward and let Sirona pinch his big face. He silently gave Lu Ye a thumbs up.
Mr. Lu's heart skipped a beat.
I'll go online and buy Pikachu pajamas right now!
In the morning, Mr. Lu cooked as usual.
Fragrant coffee, steaming ham fried eggs, and bread that bounced up with a "ding" sound.
"Hmm …" Sirona held a piece of bread in her mouth and used her phone to operate the cloud computer so that it was convenient for her to play "Pokémon Self-Propelled Chess".
Lu Ye glanced at it.
Good lord, the five blessings had arrived, and the only one missing was the Chosen One!
After breakfast.
Mr. Lu called Olivia and arranged the next plan for the Pokémon Company.
"We can delay the expansion pack for He Zhong for the time being."
Lu Ye said, "Let's develop the online version of PTCG first."
Although the Pokémon Company had only been established for half a year.
They had already produced several phenomenal standalone games and a client-side game that had become a hot topic.
Although this client-side game wasn't necessarily technical, it could provide a lot of financial help for future research and development.
With the current progress … the Pokémon Company's target was a first-class standalone studio in the country.
However …
There was still a long way to go before Mr. Lu's expectations of Gamefreak, or even the "Master of the World" Nintendo.
According to Olivia's suggestion …
What the Pokémon Company needed was a client-side game that could represent itself and continue to make profits.
Therefore, Mr. Lu's gaze fell on one of Blizzard's representative works, "Hearthstone".
Of course, he wouldn't directly borrow the mechanism of "Hearthstone".
Instead, he would slightly modify the rules of PTCG to make it easier to get started before porting it to the PC platform.
He would apply the card pack and pre-sale mechanism of "Hearthstone".
This way, it could play a role of online and offline driving each other.
"I understand." Olivia's eyes lit up. "Then, how should we name it?"
Lu Ye was stunned for a moment. "Legend of Pokémon?"
"It sounds like a low-quality mobile game." Olivia silently pushed her glasses up her nose.
"I've always named things this way." Mr. Lu coughed lightly. "Let's call it this. The content is the king!"
More importantly …
Lu Ye thought to himself. If it didn't have the phrase "Golden Legend", it wouldn't have the flavor!
"By the way, don't let everyone work overtime during the holidays. Think more about your hairline."
Olivia subconsciously touched the tip of her hair and sighed softly.
"To be honest … with the overtime pay you're providing, it would be a problem if we didn't work overtime!"
Lu Ye was slightly stunned.
So … as long as the salary was in place, it wouldn't be a problem even if they worked overtime?
After coming up with the guidelines for the next game …
Mr. Lu returned to the living room.
Sirona wore her thin-rimmed glasses and flipped through the book in her hand.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Sirona closed the book and smiled gently at Lu Ye.
"You can continue reading. You don't have to worry about me." Lu Ye scratched his cheek.
"It's a mysterious myth and legend," Sirona said. "I've read it many times. The main thing is to review it."
Lu Ye nodded in realization.
"What are you doing later?" Sirona asked.
"Livestream," Lu Ye thought for a while and said, "I promised my friends that I'll come back for a livestream after the game.
"Then I'll wait until the afternoon and go to Dr. Ohki's research institute to attend the evening party …"
Mr. Lu counted his itinerary in detail.
Sirona blinked her eyes as if she was very interested in this.
"Can I watch your livestream?"
"You can also livestream with me," Lu Ye said casually.
"I'm a technical livestream anyway. I don't show my face much recently. You can just stay quiet.
"After all, everyone is here to watch my skills, not to watch my cuteness."
Sirona nodded thoughtfully and smiled.
"Don't worry. I'll just watch. I won't disturb you!"
