Chapter 23: The Calm Before the Storm

  "Haha, Chu brother, you're here quite early!" Lü Yào's figure appeared in the internet cafe's private room.

  "Hmm, Mr. Lü, what's the task this time?" Chu Tianfeng closed the newly opened webpage and smiled.

  "It's our company's latest game, try it out." Lü Yào took out a CD and skillfully inserted it into Chu Tianfeng's computer.

  "What's this? A cat and dog?" Chu Tianfeng looked at the cartoon screen on his computer, knowing that it was a new classic RPG casual game from Dayu Company.

  "Yes, we plan to promote this game with Xianjian on the mainland. This is a new simplified version. Take a look and see if there's anything that needs improvement. If you find any bugs, let me know anytime. Same old rules, 100 yuan for each one!" Lü Yaoshi said with a smile.

  "Alright!" Chu Tianfeng now needs money the most, as long as he can make money, being a tester is no problem.

  However, after playing this game, he found that picking BUG was far more difficult than when he played "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" before.

  Last time Chu Tianfeng was lucky because the Taiwanese side did not notice that there would be character errors between traditional and simplified Chinese, so he found more than a hundred.

  Now, this latest version of "Tom and Jerry" Simplified Chinese edition has paid great attention to this issue, with a very low error rate in the text.

  Chu Tianfeng spent half a day's effort and was dizzy with fatigue, but only managed to find five, which is equivalent to earning 500 yuan. This is a far cry from the 10,000 yuan prize money last time.

  Lü Yao thought to himself with a hint of pride: "Last time you tricked me, but this time you won't find it so easy, will you?"

  Chu Tianfeng had long been aware that being a part-time game tester was not a good career path, and if he wanted to make big money, he would have to play at a higher level. He glanced sideways at Tan Kai, who was playing "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" next to him, his hands already very skilled.

  Suddenly, Chu Tianfeng's heart moved: "Based on my past life memories, I can first come up with a plan for the sequel to 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy' and sell it back to Softstar Entertainment. Isn't this the best way to make a fortune?"

  Thinking of this, he had another plan in his mind and decided to put it into action immediately.

  Just then, Tan Kai's pager suddenly rang.

  The familiar yet long-forgotten "beep beep" sound made Chu Tianfeng sigh in his heart: "It's still the era of pagers!"

  "Tianfeng, I'm going out to make a phone call!" Tan Kai said with a smile to Chu Tianfeng.

  Chu Tianfeng nodded and continued to stare intently at the computer monitor.

  Tan Kai didn't use the internet cafe's phone, but instead walked out of the internet cafe and found a public telephone booth. He inserted an IC card and quickly made a call.

  "Hey, Pidage, it's Kaizai!"

  *****

  Chu Tianfeng's test today earned him only 500 yuan, but it took up more than two hours of his precious time.

  Tan Kai hasn't come back since he received that phone call. He asked Tuo Zhiwei to pass on a message, telling Chu Tianfeng to head home after he's done playing!

  Chu Tianfeng asked where Tan Kai went, and Qi Wei only said that it seemed like he was looking for some "big brother" who had an urgent matter.

  "Tan Kai acknowledged a big brother? Who is it?" Chu Tianfeng's heart skipped a beat, secretly cursing his bad luck, and indeed history was unfolding towards that terrible course.

  "This I'm not too clear about, you're so close to him but don't even know!" Qi Wei chuckled.

  Chu Tianfeng didn't say a word, he had to find Tan Kai and have a good talk with him, this development was very dangerous.

  With the bonus given by Lü Yao, he took a bus back home. It was already past nine o'clock at night, but he still couldn't sleep. There were many things to do yet.

  "It seems like I'll be pulling an all-nighter tonight!" Chu Tianfeng thought to himself, and according to his recollection, he first drew the model of that website's navigation on paper.

  Nowadays websites are far from being as comprehensive as those ten years ago, so designing a URL navigation is a very simple thing for Chu Tianfeng.

  Immediately after that, the game plan for The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2 was designed based on memories. In fact, he could have written subsequent generations 3 and 4, but I'm afraid Datang Company wouldn't have released them so quickly, it would take at least two or three years per generation, so now focusing on The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2 is enough.

  In his previous life, Chu Tianfeng was well-versed in the Xianjian series of games, so it was easy for him to come up with a plan. However, Xianjian 2 received poor reviews in the series, mainly due to its flawed plot and weak storytelling.

  The plan written by Chu Tianfeng, while based on the overall creative thinking of Xianjian 2, has made up for the above shortcomings as much as possible, making the storyline of New Xianjian 2 more touching.

  Looking at the two planning schemes in his hand, he was overwhelmed with emotions. From now on, making money would depend on them. As for the old version of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2" in the past, although it received low ratings and had a poor response from players, its sales were not low. With the huge success of the first generation, even if some people said that the second generation was not good after playing it, it was still based on the fact that they bought the disc and played it. Moreover, it's hard to please everyone, and it's really difficult to do.

  Chu Tianfeng believes that after revising the new version of Xianjian 2, player feedback will definitely be better than before, and sales will also exceed the old version.

  Since school was dismissed, he went to the internet cafe and played for more than two hours, then returned home and fought for another two hours. Chu Tianfeng's brain usage frequency was very high, naturally producing a feeling of fatigue.

  He hastily washed his face and fell asleep. Although the good brain power he now possesses requires good physical support, which can be very tiring after prolonged use, Chu Tianfeng recovers quickly too, as long as he sleeps for a while, his brain will regain its vitality.

  The next morning at six o'clock, he opened his eyes. This sleep was really too sweet, and he didn't even have a dream. He slept until dawn.

  "Hehe, another great day!" He sat up, got dressed, looked at his watch and saw that there were still two hours before class. It was still early, so he should go exercise.

  Chu Tianfeng thought of the several martial arts books he had bought, and it was just right to practice with them. Now his brain and cerebellum were very agile, one controlling intelligence and the other grasping motor skills. If he didn't practice some kung fu, it would be a waste of resources.

  After flipping through, I found a book that introduces the ancient Qigong techniques. On the first page of the book, it clearly states: The content introduced in this book is not suitable for those without a foundation in martial arts, otherwise it may cause harm to oneself, remember!

  "What's with all the fuss? Can't you just say it's no good and be done with it?" Chu Tianfeng thought to himself, secretly amused.

  He stood in the courtyard, holding this book and reading it again and again, discovering that it introduced an ancient and mysterious technique called "Tenglong Eight Styles".

  The first move is called "Jiaolong Chuhai", followed by "Shuanglong Xiqiu", "Shenlong Baitou", "Longzhanyey", "Feilong Zaitian", "Longfei Wuyu", "Qianlong Wu Yong" and finally "Zhidou Huanglong".

  Chu Tianfeng watched for half a day, and then pretended to practice for a bit. To be honest, these eight forms are not something that ordinary people can master. They require high levels of physical elasticity, flexibility, balance, agility, and explosive power. If you don't practice well, you'll end up hurting yourself.

  Generally, kung fu moves progress from easy to difficult and simple to complex. However, Chu Tianfeng discovered that the "Teng Long Ba Shi" was quite special - the first move was already relatively difficult, requiring a high jump with two kicks, the second move was simpler, and the third move became even more challenging, following an alternating pattern of difficulty.

  But anyway, these moves are absolutely not just for show, and they have a clear effect when used in actual combat.

  Chu Tianfeng didn't want to swallow a fat man in one bite, so he started with the first move. With some effort, it could still be used for self-defense and physical fitness.

  The school has been very quiet for the past two days, since Chu Tianfeng pushed Zheng Yuanda out on Tuesday afternoon, Zheng Yuanda hasn't come to class 2 to cause trouble again, and of course he won't send flowers again. Whatever flowers are sent will be put on the windowsill by Chu Tianfeng to "show off".

  "Isn't this the calm before the storm?" Chu Tianfeng was also outwardly relaxed but inwardly tense, he absolutely wouldn't believe that Zheng Yuanda would give up just like that.

  But no matter what, as long as the other side delays for one more day, he will have one more day of preparation time.

  After school in the evening, Chu Tianfeng went to Xinyuan Internet cafe again. He wanted to seize the time to sell the game plan of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2" for money. In this world, with money you can go anywhere, without it, every step is difficult. Zheng Yuanda was so arrogant, wasn't it because his family had money and power?

  Chu Tianfeng carried his backpack and left the school, which was still three big streets away from the internet cafe. If he took a bus, it would only be one stop. He chose to walk, so he could have more time to think about things.

  In a Jetta at the school gate, Tan Kai was sitting in the back seat with a thirty-year-old bald and stout man.

  "Hey, Kaizi, see that guy wearing a white shirt and carrying a canvas backpack?" The bald fat man's round eyes gleamed with a chilling intent, this person was none other than Zheng Yuanda's hired thug, Pi Wu.

  "Did you see that, Pi Ge? Could it be him?" Tan Kai secretly felt a shock.

  "Kai Zi, do you know him?" Pi Wu's eyes were always sharp as a hawk's, and he read the surprise and panic in Tan Kai's eyes.

  "Hmm." Tan Kai nodded, his heart filled with shock and dismay: "Alas, this is terrible! Chu Tianfeng, how did you manage to offend the Pi family?"
