I am weak and friendly

Chapter 260 Sentimental Radish, Online Simulation (4K, Ling Feng Sui Bonus Chapter 610)

On the 41st floor of Qihang Building, Brother Ban was relieved to find that Tang Yiping was alright.

“Everyone is worried about you,” said Brother Ban. “You’ve disappeared again, so everyone’s asking me. If you’re alright, let everyone know you’re safe.”

After giving that instruction, the older brother thought for a moment and realized he had nothing more to say.

Tang Yiping's condition was much better than he had imagined.

Then he went back.

He didn't know why, but he felt like he had come for nothing. But seeing that Tang Yiping was alright, he was relieved and felt that the trip hadn't been in vain.

"Okay, I'll go back and play with the little robot," he thought.

"Don't go back yet. Someone broke into the eighth floor again today. These people are such a nuisance," Ban Ge told Tang Yiping before leaving.

As he reached the door, the efficient young man at the front desk stood up to see him off, and the sense of security he felt made him quite envious.

"We need to get the boss to hire a young man to work as a receptionist for us," he muttered as he entered the elevator.

The young man at the front desk gave him a polite smile and saw him into the elevator.

After seeing Brother Ban off, Tang Yiping finished revising the update log, clicked submit, and then opened the forum.

I should go and let them know I'm safe.

Since Brother Ban said that, it seems everyone is really worried about themselves.

Then I saw that the entire L site was full of posts, all of which were people expressing their grievances.

Everyone is still discussing various counter-attack tactics, from algorithm analysis to various automation tools; the programmers' thinking is running wild.

If you were to draw a picture of L Station right now, it would probably be...

"The programmer's counterattack."

This lively and enthusiastic atmosphere deeply moved Tang Yiping.

His private message inbox on L station is also full, with a dense array of red dots.

Replying to each message individually was simply too much for him, so he thought for a moment and posted a thread:
"Thank you everyone for your concern, I'm fine and completely okay! I forgot to let you all know I'm safe and sound, I was just writing about carrots and getting into a fanfic! The new version is here, everyone come and try it out!"

As soon as this post appeared, a bunch of people immediately posted countless question marks below.

"???"

"No, we've been fighting tooth and nail for you here, and you don't even bother to come out and say a word? Do you know how worried we are about you!"

"I've already faced off against at least eight hundred people, and I was so angry that I smashed two pieces of my keyboard. And you're writing radishes."

"I've already contributed several of my own servers, running them at full capacity to help you with the online battle, and you're just writing code?"

Everyone inexplicably felt that they had given their sincere hearts to an ungrateful person.

Tang Yiping felt very guilty and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I found these people too annoying, it only made me feel annoyed, so I just disconnected from the internet and started coding. I got so engrossed in coding that I completely lost track of time..."

This explanation is actually fine, and everyone finds it acceptable.

Someone said, "You'd better be writing code."

"I'm going to check if Radish's writing is any good. If it is, I'll forgive you. If it's bad, take this punch!"

"If Tang doesn't write well, she'll have to wear women's clothing!"

"We still need to specify women's clothing."

"Seconded."

A moment later, someone returned:

"Write about radishes! Hurry up and write about radishes!"

"The two keyboards I just smashed, they died a worthy death! For the sake of the carrot!"

"Oh my god! I knew it!"

"Holy crap, no way, such a huge update? This is version V0.3?"

"This is such a huge feature update, and you're only at version 0.3? What features do you plan to include in version 1.0?"

"You're saying you wrote this much code in such a short time?"

"Is this still my radish?"

"Damn, I wasn't planning on forgiving you unless you dressed as a woman, but since you managed to write so much in such a short time, I forgive you..."

"As expected of Tang... Keep it up, Little Radish!"

Tang Yiping quickly said, "Don't praise me. Go check if there are any problems or suggestions for features."

After a while, discussions about the new version of Carrot surged on the forum, actually overshadowing the discussions about OIFU.

The new version of Radish has brought us such a pleasant surprise.

"Holy crap! Did Hirako type Pokémon GO?"

"Pokémon GO doesn't actually involve exploring a map or interacting with things on it! This is RoboCross GO TO DO!"

"I'm shocked! I'm planning to optimize the interaction between my little radish and the real map, and I'm submitting a PR. To find inspiration, I've already taken my little radish out! It's so hot outside!"

"No, I originally just used this as a sandbox simulator, how did it turn into a real-world simulator?"

"There are so few radishes near my house! How can I increase their respawn rate? I need help urgently!"

What is a creator's favorite thing?
Of course it's my own work, and everyone likes it!

The sense of accomplishment is especially great after completing a particularly difficult project.

This map mode was really too difficult to write; Tang Yiping must have lost countless brain cells.

But now he feels it was all worth it.

Before this, many people had submitted a lot of code for the little robot, but it was mostly in the previous sandbox mode.

This map pattern was his own idea, and he built it entirely from scratch.

Initially, he just thought about it and saw if he had enough capability to develop an application of this specification, so he gave it a try.

And then, lo and behold, it actually works really well?

Then I wrote it down.

And then, it actually got done!

"You guys play first, and submit any suggestions you have," Tang Yiping said. "I'll go check on how things are going with OIFU..."

"do not go!"

"Why bother going to see that! There's nothing to see!"

"We'll help you rant! We'll help you kill the idiots! Don't worry about it! Go write your little radish!"

"Quick, quick! I'll stop them!"

"I'll protect it! The world of radishes is yours to inherit!"

"We must make Little Radish happy!"

Tang Yiping looked at everyone's comments, thought about it, and felt...

Okay, I guess I should go write about radishes after all!
The little radish is fun, but writing about radishes is even more fun!

OIFU, let it go!
Let it fulfill its historical mission!

Tang Yiping opened the keyboard and continued coding furiously.

……

Brother Ban returned to the 8th floor and told everyone about Tang Yiping's situation, which put everyone at ease.

"This guy, I even wrote a program for him to flame each other..." Gao Yuxiang said, opening the project repository interface of Luobo, "I'll go see how his new version is, whether it's fun... Huh?"

Gao Yuxiang frowned.

"hiss……"

He gasped, then forked the new version and started reading the code.

"What's wrong?" Brother Ze turned around and asked.

"Pingzi wrote a map module for his little radish."

"A map module?" Ze Ge asked, puzzled. "Why would Radish need a map module?"

"He put the carrot on the map and developed a real-world simulator."

Ze Ge immediately became interested: "I'll go take a look too!"

After a while, Ze turned to Gao Yuxiang and asked, "Did you write this map module for him?"

"no……"

"No?" Ze Ge looked at the code in front of him.

She and Gao Yuxiang have been colleagues for many years.

Linghai Technology's original main business was local life application. Local life applications, which involve calling various maps, are their core business. Gao Yuxiang is very good at this, and he has been writing about it for many years.

That's why he was so adept at contributing map code to OIFU.

The code related to the ROBO-FU map interface that Ze Ge saw gave her a very strong sense of familiarity; it looked very much like something written by Gao Yuxiang.

In other words, it's "shitty and disgusting".

"You really didn't write this?" Brother Ze was a little skeptical. "No..." Gao Yuxiang smiled wryly.

Ze Ge frowned as he looked at it.

"Is it because I looked at the code you wrote last time?"

"Probably..." Gao Yuxiang said, "After all, they've rejected it so many times..."

"Just by looking at the code, you can imitate your code to this extent?" Ze Ge exclaimed in astonishment.

“This is not imitation.” Gao Yuxiang shook his head.

Although the styles are really similar.

“Indeed, this code is better written than yours,” Ze Ge said.

Gao Yuxiang: "..."

He doesn't want to talk.

Because he really broke down.

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

"Whoosh!" Gao Yuxiang pulled his keyboard out and slammed it heavily on the table.

If you're a man, you have to prove yourself!

Why bother writing a script to insult people? I'm submitting another PR to the little bot!

Let me show you how much fun I can have with this map!
I've brought out all the inspirations that came up in the local community but weren't submitted for commercial reasons!
When it comes to maps, I'm the real expert!
Gao Yuxiang started writing furiously.

After a long while, Gao Yuxiang let out a long sigh of relief, checked the code again, and then submitted the PR.

Of course, Gao Yuxiang already has experience, and things probably won't go smoothly from here on out. Tang Yiping will likely beat him back several times, or even more than ten times.

He was prepared to stay up all night again tonight.

Sure enough, his PR application was rejected shortly afterward.

Hehehe, I already predicted your prediction. I don't believe you can find five, no, more than ten problems with me this time...

Then, Gao Yuxiang's face froze.

This time, it wasn't Tang Yiping's extremely detailed industry commentary, but rather...

"Thank you for submitting the code. The relevant functionality is already available."

Gao Yuxiang: "???"

Are you playing me?
When I checked just now, this feature wasn't available yet!

When was this feature available?
Gao Yuxiang opened the ROBO-FU project repository and saw the new version release information.

"New version: ROBO-FU v0.4: Urban Dynamics Simulation"
This update includes:
"New 'City Dynamics Simulation' mode (beta): One carrot has little power, but what about thousands? Start a 'City Dynamics Simulation' locally, set simple goals for the carrots, and see how they ultimately turn out. Sometimes, the simplest wisdom can solve the biggest problems. (This feature is still in the testing phase; results are for reference only.)"
"New performance test: Performs a basic test on your phone to determine your maximum number of simulations. (Recommended number: 50%-80% of the maximum; each simulation should not exceed 15 minutes.)"
"A new online simulation feature has been added. You can request the server to initiate a large-scale simulation. You can initiate one simulation for free each day. If too many simulations are initiated at the same time, you will need to queue up..."

Gao Yuxiang: "???"

No, didn't you just update the city features?

Why is there another update on "urban dynamics"?
What's the deal with this feature?
What the heck is "urban dynamics"?

This update was another long and complicated one, leaving Gao Yuxiang speechless.

Although he didn't understand it, he was greatly shocked.

Finally, after looking to the end, he found the part that overlapped with the PR feature he had submitted.

"We will improve and enhance the interaction between the radishes and map elements, increasing the depth and breadth of the interaction. This feature will continue to be improved..."

"Many other detailed updates..."

So, what I submitted is only slightly more important than "others," right?

Gao Yuxiang suppressed his urge to complain and forked the new version.

Let me see how much better your feature is than mine!
And what the hell is this urban dynamics simulation?!

……

The sun has already set.

There are also more mosquitoes.

Lin Jiaqiang and Zhao Wenjie walked down the street looking rather dejected.

Another fruitless day.

I gained nothing except an extra day of life.

This afternoon, they came across a food delivery crowdsourcing station and went up to inquire about it.

Crowdsourcing stations do have secondhand clothing and delivery boxes; two people could chip in and maybe even put together a set.

However, the minimum deposit for an electric scooter is 1500 yuan, and it's a beat-up old, secondhand vehicle.

They simply couldn't come up with that money.

Are we supposed to deliver food on the run?
Actually, this wasn't the first time they had tried to inquire, but they always returned disappointed.

Opportunities are everywhere in this world, but they all have different thresholds.

But they are people who can't even cross the lowest threshold.

They sat down on a bench in a small park by the roadside, watching the electric bikes passing by, sharing expired snacks and water, and then pondering how to spend the evening.

For a fleeting moment, Lin Jiaqiang looked at the unlocked electric scooter parked by the roadside and felt an urge to just hop on and ride away.

Shaking his head vigorously to convey his thought, Lin Jiaqiang took out his phone again.

Then I discovered...

Huh? The radish has been updated again?

During the day, these wild radishes had already given him a great surprise. Now, what new surprises have they brought?
"Urban dynamics? What's that?"

He checked his remaining data and clicked update.

Then, after a quick search, he found the simulated interface.

His phone is too old to simulate many functions, so he plans to try cloud-based simulation.

Opening the cloud simulation interface, options such as "Simulation Quantity 100000 Carrots", "Target", and "Weight" pop up, which looks a bit complicated.

What kind of goal should we set?

He didn't know what goals he should set. It seemed he wanted everything, but he didn't know where to start.

He simply chose the default option and clicked "Simulate".

Perhaps there's no one in line right now, but the simulation will start immediately.

A torrent appeared on his phone screen, with countless tiny radishes drawing countless rays of light that spread along the map.

Actually, this is just a transition animation, because a line of text is displayed below:

"Simulating in the cloud..."

However, this real-time rendered animation inexplicably gave him some confidence.

About a minute later, his phone vibrated and displayed: "Simulation complete".

The flowing light transformed into arrows of varying thicknesses on his phone, pointing in all directions of the city.

This is the trajectory of all the little radishes.

Some were very close, but the connection was broken nearby.

Some are very far away, seemingly stretching across the entire city.

The thickest one pointed to the west, about several hundred meters away.

If it's a few hundred meters, then we can verify it.

Lin Jiaqiang stood up.

"What are you going to do?"

"I...I'm going for a walk," he said.

He didn't think this kind of simulation was really useful.

He just thought... what if?
Zhao Wenjie didn't think much of it and continued eating.

Lin Jiaqiang followed the arrows and walked out.

The arrow points to a bus stop sign on the side of the road.

Someone was on the phone while waiting for the bus at the bus stop.

"Dad's off work. Yes, Dad's having dinner."

"Don't worry, Dad will take good care of himself."

"goodbye……"

The man hung up the phone and turned around.

"Huh? Is that you?"
