Chapter 183: Nat's Male Ticket
"Maya, do you have a boyfriend?"
During the sisters' night talk, Natalie asked secretly.
"I'm only 13 years old, how can I have a boyfriend?" Maya said calmly.
"Hey, you graduated from all grades, and you're in high school in the second half of the year, and you don't have a boyfriend yet, it's so pitiful!" Natalie looked at Maya sympathetically.
Even in the darkness, Maya could clearly see her sister's compassionate eyes.
"Nat, you know, how can someone as smart as me look down on those idiots?" Maya argued.
Natalie felt even more pitiful for Maya, "Maya, boyfriends are just an embellishment in life, just like clothes and shoes. As long as there is an advantage that matches your heart, you can buy it back and wear it, and when you get tired of it, you can change it again. Maya, you haven't understood yet, boyfriend is not a confidant friend, and his timeliness is very short. ”
Maya is speechless, your European and American ghost beasts are too advanced, I can't accept it!
"Nat, I'm not interested in men, and of course, I'm not Lala. Do you have any ideals? My ideal is to get out of the earth and go around the galaxy, well, it's better to bring a bunch of little brothers, and if you see any alien who is unhappy, let the thugs beat him, barely a cosmic overlord! "Maya started to again.
Natalie took it seriously, she opened her mouth wide and stared at Maya in a daze, "Maya, you're afraid you're not talking in a dream, right?" How can any alien let you bully? Don't think that if I make movies, I won't study seriously, it will take hundreds of years for us earthlings to get out of the solar system! ”
"That's just my ultimate goal, a small goal at the moment. Well, what do you think of earning him 100 million US dollars? Maya said in a relaxed tone.
Natalie pursed her lips and said: "My last salary was only 20,000 US dollars, and within ten years, it would be good if my salary could rise to 1 million US dollars, your small goal, whether I can achieve it in my life is still a question!" ”
ps: Hollywood actresses' salaries are generally low, in the 90s, 1 million US dollars was not less, and the big productions at that time were only tens of millions
"Well, I'll be honest, I'm going to make $50,000 this summer. You also know the situation of my family, my mother and stepfather do not have a serious career, and now I have a younger brother, and I just bought a house, and the decoration has to cost 20,000 US dollars. Besides, I don't like to owe people money, and the $30,000 in the bank must be paid off early. ”
Maya's goal has been achieved, and she has pulled the topic from her boyfriend to her life goal, and she has spoken her true words.
Natalie touched Maya's skull and said, "Maya, you're a strong man, really!" Thinking about so much at the age of 13, the key is that you can still achieve your goals, and your family and studies will not be delayed. ”
"Hehe, you're not bad, you have a clear plan for your life, much better than those Upper East Side ladies who are sloppy!"
Natalie was very happy to be praised by the "strong" in her heart, and the corners of her mouth curved into an obvious arc, and then she asked worriedly: "Isn't it an exaggeration to earn 50,000 US dollars in the summer?" Even if you are an elite white-collar worker in Manhattan, it is good to have 10,000 US dollars a month, even if you go to be Tony Stark's assistant, it is useless. ”
Maya said nonchalantly, "It's very simple, do you know the most popular form of entertainment these days?" ”
"Baseball? nb? Watching a movie? Natasha asked curiously.
"Well, this era is not right, it has not yet reached the era of national mobile games!" Maya sighed and said directly: "In the 0s, Atari Games went bankrupt, and now it is the era of red and white machines in Japan, have you played Nat?" ”
"Oh, you're talking about the 90 tank, Super Mario and Contra, aren't you?" Natalie suddenly realized.
"By the way, in this era, computer games cannot be sold, everyone uses computers for office, and people who want to play games cannot afford computers. I'm planning to make a few mini-games this summer to earn some money. Maya revealed her true purpose for buying the laptop.
"But will the Japanese buy your game?" Natalie asked worriedly.
Maya was not worried about this, explaining: "Do you know who the first place winner is in the New York junior high school programming competition in recent years? ”
With a "bang", Natalie directly turned over and sat up, and asked excitedly, "You are the legendary Delphi?" ”
Maya nodded and said, "Yes, it was when I was in the second grade of elementary school, when I was about seven years old. Now that minesweeper game in Microsoft's operating system, you know? That's me."
"Of course I know, that minesweeper is Delphi's work. Oh my God, you can design such a complex game at the age of seven, you're more talented than Tony, oh my! Why didn't you tell me sooner? Natalie screamed like a madwoman.
"What's there to show off, it's not worth mentioning!" Maya pretended to be faint.
"No, since you're an oracle, you designed the minesweeper. So several other titles, such as Spider Solitaire, are very famous games, you can't be short of money, right? Natalie asked.
ps: Delphi oracle, Delphi, a famous ancient Greek city, similar to the ancient Chinese Longquan sword, Longquan is also a place name
Maya sighed and explained: "These games are not owned, and the organizers directly gave out a prize of a few hundred dollars, so the entries became a public resource. Actually, except for a few of my mini-games, the programs designed by other people are useless. The organizers didn't think about profitability, they just promoted personal computers. ”
Maya didn't think about making money at the time, she mainly earned influence points, and the more people played, the more influence points she had. Well, now, a few thousand impact points don't seem worth mentioning, but it really made her happy at the time.
"Then why don't you write a few office software, isn't it more profitable?" Natalie asked again.
"In this era, the computer software is too deep, and it is not a big company, or it is not enough to play with the lack of connections. Cassette games have a low threshold and come in quick money, and I just want to make a wave of quick money, and I plan to specialize in biology in the future. ”
Seeing Maya say such a pretending to be such an understatement, Natalie's eyes popped up with little stars, "Maya, I worship you a little!" ”
"Huh"
The next day, after breakfast, Maya met Natalie's boyfriend, a handsome 16-year-old guy.
Wearing a small tank top and a double ponytail, Maya wore sunglasses and crossed her little feet, lying under a parasol, eating ice cream, and asked, "Jonathan, what grade are you in high school?" ”
"Dada"
Jonathan, the handsome golden retriever, didn't seem to hear Maya's question, and looked at the little white hand with a dull look, turning into an afterimage and dancing quickly on the keyboard.
He can also type with one hand, but the key thing is that this guy didn't even look at the screen, and the laptop was more than a meter away from her. She hugged an external keyboard, scooped ice cream with a spoon with one hand, and frantically tapped the keyboard with the other.
She was wearing sunglasses, lying on a recliner and chatting and farting! 166 Reading Network
