Restart the Gaming Era

Entering the restaurant, the two casually found a seat by the window.

Although this is the fringe area of ​​Ming'an City, the two of them came to a chain barbecue restaurant, the decoration inside was very luxurious, and there were quite a lot of people.

The waiter was very enthusiastic, handed over the menu, and then began to serve tea and water, and served free side dishes.

Zhong Ming flipped through the menu and found that it was really expensive.

An ordinary piece of meat costs 30 to 40 pieces, and there are not many slices from the picture. The photos on the menu are deliberately large, giving people the illusion of rich meat. In fact, it may just be a tooth seam.

Zhong Ming thought about it for a while, if he paid for the meal himself, he might have to reimburse all the hundreds of dollars in his card.

Seeing Zhong Ming frowned, Jiang Wanna smiled and said, "It's okay, just order whatever you want, I'll treat you."

Zhong Ming closed the menu: "It's better for you to order, I don't know these dishes."

Jiang Wanna must have eaten here before. After looking through the menu, she called the waiter over, ordered a few different barbecues, and then ordered some other side dishes.

Although it is a barbecue restaurant, some other dishes and snacks are also good, so Jiang Wanna didn't order all the meat, but also ordered some special dishes.

The meat is served very quickly, it is all raw meat, and it needs to be grilled fresh. But it was obvious that neither Zhong Ming nor Jiang Wanna would use the barbecue stove in front of them.

Jiang Wanna raised her hand: "Waiter, please help me bake it."

In this shop, the waiters usually help with the barbecue, and the waiters can only ignore it if the guests ask for their own barbecue. It's just that there seem to be too many people today, so the staff of the waiters is a bit insufficient.

A slightly chubby little brother hurried over and started grilling meat for the two of them. Zhong Ming saw this little brother when he entered the door. The clothes he wore were different from those of other waiters. He should be a foreman or a small leader in this store.

The little brother took out his business card while proficiently grilling the meat: "Is this the first time for you two to visit our store? I'm really sorry, there are a lot of customers today, please forgive me for the negligence. I forgot to introduce myself, I am this The manager of the store, my name is Wu Yang, and this is my business card."

Wu Yang directly handed the business card to Jiang Wanna.

Jiang Wanna reached out to take it and put it aside, she just nodded with a smile and didn't answer his words.

Wu Yang continued to skillfully grill the meat, and he put the roasted meat on the rack on the oven, and arranged it piece by piece.

"Okay, let's eat!" Jiang Wanna said.

Zhong Ming picked up a piece of barbecue with his chopsticks, dipped it in the dipping bowl in front of him, and put it in his mouth.

The taste of the meat is quite good, the only problem is that it is expensive.

Wu Yang said with some hesitation: "Sir, it's like this. Have you seen this little brush? This dipping material is directly dipped with a brush and then brushed on the meat. Generally, don't dip it directly into the bowl."

Zhong Ming was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that there was a small brush hanging on his left hand side. According to Wu Yang, the small brush should be used to brush the dipping sauce on the meat, not directly eating it like he did.

"Oh, I see." Zhong Ming felt a little baffled. It seems that eating barbecue in this world is also very particular. There are a bunch of inexplicable rules. Why do you have to prepare a small brush for dipping?

After thinking about it, it's probably because the barbecue is too expensive, so I eat so stingy...

Jiang Wanna smiled: "It's okay, you can eat whatever you want, you don't have to be so particular about it."

Wu Yang didn't say anything on the surface, but in fact he still looked down on Zhong Ming a little bit. A big man can't even eat barbecue, and he would let his sister treat him when he eats. What a failure.

Of course, Wu Yang would definitely not show it. He has already become a manager, so it is impossible for him to be so ignorant.

After Wu Yang grilled some meat, he went to work on the sidelines. Zhong Ming and Jiang Wanna ate and chatted, basically talking about things in college. Coincidentally, the two are in the same major, only one level behind, but they didn't know each other in college.

During this chat, I found that there are really many mutual friends.

The roast meat that was grilled before was finished soon, Wu Yang ran back and continued to roast the second batch.

The two of them had nothing to do while waiting for the barbecue, so Jiang Wanna activated her bracelet, planning to browse the news online.

"Huh? Huo Da has released a new painting!" Jiang Wanna said in surprise.

Zhong Ming didn't respond: "Who?"

Jiang Wanna said, "Fire Emblem, a famous painter on Weibo, haven't you heard of it?"

"He, I've heard of it." Zhong Ming knew that this person was a well-known painter on Weibo, and he could be considered a small Internet celebrity. He often posted some personal works on Weibo and had many fans.

Although in Zhong Ming's opinion, this person's level is relatively average, but he is considered a celebrity in the art circle of this world. Many younger painters will follow his Weibo, in order to learn painting skills from him, Or to see his new works for the first time.

Wu Yang, who was barbecuing, became energetic when he heard the name "Fire Emblem": "Hey? You also pay attention to Huo University? Are you a student of the Department of Fine Arts?"

Jiang Wanna nodded: "Yes, we all majored in fine arts at Ming'an University."

"Fine major! Sorry, sorry!" Wu Yang smiled even more, "Actually, I also wanted to study art when I was in school, but unfortunately my grades were poor and I didn't pass the exam. But I didn't give up. Later, I enrolled in an art class , now it’s considered an introduction. Did you see our store’s logo when you entered? That’s what I designed.”

Knowing that the two of them were students majoring in fine arts, Wu Yang became even more enthusiastic, and even gave him a side dish.

Zhong Ming also saw this painting on the bracelet. The name of the painting is "Fearless" and it is an ancient theme.

In the center of the picture is a general wearing armor and standing on horseback with a horizontal knife, surrounded by many soldiers, surrounding him. But this general is heroic and heroic, calm and composed among the vast number of enemies, highlighting a fearless aura.

Fire Emblem: "Welcome to appreciate the work "Fearless" in cooperation with Magic Dance Studio."

Magic Dance Studio is a well-known game development studio in China, and the games developed are mainly based on ancient themes.

Newcomers like Jiang Wanna basically go to work in game companies or studios after graduation, but well-known painters like Fire Emblem can work independently as freelancers because they are famous. Many companies or studios will take the initiative to find them to ask for drafts, and sometimes an original painting costs tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

The painting of the Fire Emblem is a work contributed to the Phantom Dance Studio, and it should be used as a game material in the future.

This is a win-win situation for artists and game developers, especially for developers. After Fire Emblem’s Weibo promotion, their games can get attention before release, which is very cost-effective.

Zhong Ming looked at the painting. The composition, colors, details, etc. are all excellent. After all, Fire Emblem is a famous painter, so he must have the ability.

It's just that Zhong Ming vaguely feels that there is something wrong with this painting, which is a bit weird, but at first glance, he can't tell what's wrong with it.
