New Times, New Hell

Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, and after a while he opened his mouth and said, "Say it again?"

The young people are kind and generous: "I just want to suggest, can we add a circle of friends function to our app?"

Liu Wei said with a cold face: "WeChat has the function of the circle of friends, and it doesn't make much sense for us to do it."

"How can it be the same?" The young man looked disapproving, "Wechat is a friend in life, and we can no longer contact them after death. My idea is to hope that Luo Feng can help us achieve a reunion after death."

Liu Wei: "..." This person actually takes the functions of this app so seriously?

Have you really assumed the role of the afterlife?

Even reunited after death... Liu Wei couldn't help but sneer: "Why don't you suggest setting up a forum in the underworld to help the dead solve all kinds of difficult problems after death?"

The young man clapped his hands: "It's a good idea, it's because you professionals have broad ideas!"

Liu Wei "..." He obviously used a mocking tone!

But seeing the serious expression on the young man's face, he was a little embarrassed to continue to be sarcastic, but he was even more curious about the operation of this app, so he couldn't help asking, "Can you show me your phone?"

"Of course, of course, this is not developed by you." The young man enthusiastically handed over the phone.

Liu Wei originally thought it was because of a bug in the app that he couldn't open it, but when he looked at the version on the young man's phone, it was clearly very smooth to operate.

He first clicked on the [Ghost Information] column, and the page displayed the youth's registration information.

Name: Zhongka

Sex: Male

ID number: *******************X

Time of death: X hour, X day, 2018

Cause of Death: Car Accident on Mount Impossible

Place of household registration before death: No. 99, Gujing Avenue, Gujing District, Fucheng City

Cemetery: Fucheng West Cemetery

Liu Wei: "..."

Although I already knew the content of the app when I was developing it, but seeing someone fill in the information so seriously, I feel quite delicate, especially when the other party actually simulated the time and cause of death. What kind of situation is this? Mental?

Doesn't it feel unlucky to play it as a simulation game?

The corner of Liu Wei's mouth twitched, and he tried to forcefully ask Zhong Ka: "Is this Fucheng West Cemetery the ideal burial place in your heart?"

According to his understanding, it is estimated that this young man is just for fun, and chose a favorite cemetery for himself in advance.

But Zhong Ka looked depressed: "What's the matter, this is chosen by my family. The ideal cemetery in my heart is of course Mingzhu Private Cemetery, but it's too expensive, and my family can't afford it."

Liu Wei: "..." Is your online simulated cemetery selection so real?Are you still discussing with your family?

Zhong Ka also asked eagerly: "I said, this 'cemetery' sounds too ordinary, can it be changed to 'mausoleum' or something like that?"

Liu Wei almost sprayed: "...Why, you still have the throne to inherit?"

Zhong Ka said "Hey Hey" twice: "It's not that he didn't enjoy wealth in his lifetime, it would be nice to be able to flirt after death."

Liu Wei: "..."

"And there's more..." Zhong Ka couldn't finish it, "I think it's a ghost message. Here, we can add an item of 'epitaph', just like a personalized signature. You don't know, I thought about the epitaph before I was alive. , It's a pity that I didn't expect to die so early, and I didn't tell my family in advance to engrave me on the tablet, "I still prefer to live in Mingzhu Private Cemetery", what do you think?"

Liu Wei pretended not to hear, and calmly opened the second module of the app: [Good and evil values]

The good and evil value module is still very simple, only two lines are displayed:

Good and evil value: not open for query

Memorabilia: [View Details]

Zhong Ka asked curiously: "Why is the data of good and evil values ​​not open for query?"

This module was developed by Yu Zhengdu himself, and even Zhao Ruola did not intervene. Although the things displayed are very simple, Liu Wei knows that the algorithm inside is very complicated, and some information is encrypted. He is not particularly clear about it. Only vaguely said: "This is the code written by our CTO, I don't understand it."

As he spoke, he clicked on the last module: [Self-incarnation]

This is also the module he is most curious about. As a member of the development team, he naturally knows the prototype and finished product of the app, but the company has never elaborated on the positioning and target users of the app. Just look at the boss and two The attitude of the technology boss, this app is likely to be only for specific groups, and will not be released to the public, let alone be launched in app stores such as appstore.

The employees of their development department had discussions in private, and finally got the most agreeable guess. They thought it might be because the company's strange exorcism and health products were aimed at superstitious groups, so this app might be developed to attract these people. For some users, let everyone simulate the feeling of reincarnation online. The ultimate goal is likely to be built-in advertisements, product promotion and the like.

But even so, everyone still agrees that the functions of this app are really too sandy.

Amid Liu Wei's intense curiosity, the interface of the [Self-Reincarnation] module was displayed:

Reincarnation time: June 2019, 6

Reincarnation location: Gujing reincarnation site in Gujing District, Fucheng City

Reincarnation point contact number: 404-********

Reincarnation: Humanity

Reincarnation Road Information: Xiaokang Family

One-click reincarnation: [agree]

Reincarnation assistant: ① Reincarnation countdown reminder service ② Reincarnation point route planning service ③ Emergency help

Long press the interface, and a page of instructions will be displayed:

Description:

1. After agreeing to one-click reincarnation, Luofeng headquarters will automatically locate the user's location to provide users with more protection;

2. Users who have not selected [Agree] one-click reincarnation please arrange the reincarnation plan independently to avoid missing the time, users who avoid reincarnation will be severely punished, please do not have a fluke mentality;

2. In case of emergencies, such as evil spirits obstructing reincarnation, please press the [Emergency Help] button or call the reincarnation point for help.

Luofeng Life Management Consulting Co., Ltd. will serve you wholeheartedly.

Liu Wei: "..."

When they developed this app, they felt that the app was very sandy. When they saw the actual user's usage scene, the serious sandy feeling suddenly seemed to materialize. feel.

However, the user's ability to adapt is obviously much stronger than him. Zhong Ka pointed to the interface and discussed with Liu Wei very seriously: "I think the information on the reincarnation path can be more humane... oh, it's more ghostly, we all Knowing that the distribution of reincarnation path and the value of good and evil are related, can you provide us with a reference data, let us know what data corresponds to what reincarnation result, so that we can have a bottom line in our hearts."

"Also, how is the good and evil value data calculated? For example, doing things can accumulate good values, and doing things will generate evil values. This can also help us do good deeds with a purpose..."

Liu Wei looked at Zhong Ka with a broken face and solemnly provided the Sand Sculpture app with functions that sounded more sandy, but seemed to fit the app's own temperament very well. For a while, he couldn't tell whether he was abnormal or the other party was abnormal. .

What is rare is that Liu Wei maintained the excellent logic of an engineering nerd at this time, and he was able to discuss with Zhong Ka along with him: "I understand what you mean, do you want us to make this value of good and evil Just like game tasks, different tasks correspond to different good and evil values. After receiving and completing the tasks, you can accumulate corresponding points, and different levels of data correspond to different reincarnation results... In this way, you can reincarnate according to your desires. As a result, receive the task with a goal?"

"That's how it is!" Liu Wei gave a thumbs up, "As expected of Luo Feng's employee, he is so excellent."

Liu Wei said blankly: "I will give your suggestion back to our boss."

Zhong Ka nodded, and did not forget to remind: "There is also the function of the circle of friends and the forum..."

Liu Wei: "...Remember, remember."

No wonder Zhongka had to come to the company overnight for an interview. There are so many suggestions.

He looked up at the time, and before he knew it, it was already past twelve o'clock, Liu Wei yawned, and pushed the clock card to go out of the company: "Okay, I've written it down, you go back quickly , in the middle of the night, I don’t feel too tired.”

Zhong Ka said as he walked, "It's the middle of the night when you're in good spirits..."

Liu Wei pushed him to the door and was about to close the door when he realized that he was still holding Zheng Yan's gossip mirror. He hurriedly ran back to Zheng Yan's work station to put the things down. Gone.

"It's going so fast." Liu Wei scratched his head and went to press the elevator, but found that the elevator stopped on his own floor and didn't go down. A strange feeling flashed in his heart, but it was too late, and he was really tired , Without thinking about it, Shi Shiran got into the elevator and went home.

……

Because the app's good and evil value module was developed by Yu Zhengdu alone, so when he went to work the next day, Liu Wei went to Yu Zhengdu first, yawning, and told about the encounter with Zhongka last night, and he was a little embarrassed at the end. Turned himself in: "Boss, is there something wrong with our app? I originally wanted to use my mobile phone to download it, but it showed that there was no signal, and I couldn't use it after I registered..."

Yu Zhengdu said vaguely: "Oh, I added a design, and after registration, it needs to pass the verification of the headquarters before it can be used."

Liu Wei was very puzzled: "...Is this necessary?" I don't know if this app can have [-] users at that time, and so many thresholds have to be designed?

Yu Zhengdu didn't answer his question, but asked with a strange expression: "Have you met our beta tester?"

Liu Wei nodded: "Yeah, our internal beta users are working too hard, they came to the company in the middle of the night, and let me tell you, Brother Zheng's equipment suddenly glowed at that time, which shocked me..."

Yu Zhengdu: "..."

This Liu Weixin is also big enough, so there is no association?

Yu Zhengdu didn't scare him, he just followed his words and asked, to see what new ideas were provided by the internal test users who came to the company for interviews.

Liu Wei complained while repeating: "He wants us to set up a circle of friends and a forum. I fainted. Who has done WeChat in the circle of friends? Isn't this a waste of resources?"

Yu Zhengdu took a small notebook and wrote down: "I mentioned this to Erica, and it is currently being designed, and the later version may keep up."

In fact, to be precise, what they want to do is the function of automatically linking user accounts to social relationships in the underworld.

During Yu Zhengdu's tenure in Luo Feng, he found that there were many problems in the management of the underworld. For example, many ghosts often do some behaviors that endanger the underworld society because they are lonely after death. Therefore, if we can help them realize the underworld reunion with relatives and friends, Once their relatives pass away, if they are notified quickly, the order and peace of the underworld can be maintained to a certain extent.

"It's not necessary." Liu Wei said blankly, "Boss, is WeChat not easy to use? Or is Weibo not fun?"

Yu Zhengdu patted him on the shoulder calmly: "Have a dream."

"Okay." Liu Wei shrugged, not too entangled, anyway, which programmer has never been hurt by a product manager, just get used to it, at least, their boss still has technical strength.

Liu Wei went on to say: "That clock card has another suggestion, I hope we can make the data of good and evil values ​​and the conditions for obtaining them transparent. I think this is completely possible, just like game companies, we need to let users use our products more. app, at its simplest, is to give them a sense of purpose."

"If this part can be made transparent, it will definitely encourage users to actively do tasks and greatly increase the time they use the app..."

The more Liu Wei talked, the more excited he became, and he completely forgot how much he disliked this sand sculpture app at first.

However, Yu Zhengdu didn't take this suggestion seriously: "This can't be done."

Liu Wei was splashed with cold water, said "ah", and asked, "Why? I think this idea is very good..."

Yu Zhengdu smiled, and patiently explained: "Don't we often say, 'Don't do good things because they are small, and don't do evil things because they are small'? In fact, good things and evil things should not be divided into big and small, and should not be counted. In general, if we make the acquisition conditions of good and evil values ​​public, it will definitely cause some users to stare at the data to do things, and no one will do small good deeds, and small bad deeds, maybe everyone thinks it doesn’t matter at all, this is not ours. The original intention of developing the good and evil value section."

A hero should not ask where he came from, let alone divide his greatness by the size of what he does.

But just like the legal sentencing has different degrees of severity, human nature is complex, this is a real problem, even in the underworld, it is impossible to give each ghost a fair and just result, so the book of life and death is actually in the calculation of the value of good and evil. very complicated.

The Yin and Yang worlds often take it for granted that "big" good things will definitely accumulate more good values, but the real situation is not like this. Even if it is the same thing, many times, because of the different environments in which it occurs, the weighted results are also different. of.

In the same way, what value corresponds to what reincarnation result will not be made public.

In other words, the meaning of the [Good and Evil Value] section is not only to facilitate people to check their own deeds and derive reincarnation results, but the most important thing is to remind people to always have kind thoughts instead of doing specific things purposefully.

But when you do good deeds, don't ask about the results.

After listening to the explanation, Liu Wei was deeply touched: "..."

To be honest, he originally positioned this app as an app that simulates death, and he naturally thought of it as a simulation game. He never thought that the boss still had such noble feelings in his heart.

Actually want to rely on this app to convey such a profound concept to users?

Liu Wei thought for a while and said seriously: "Boss, although I don't think our users think so, I support you."

These days, there are really too few people who can still maintain such an original intention. Even if the result is likely to be unsatisfactory, those who strive for their ideals are always worthy of respect.

Yu Zhengdu: "..."

When he saw Liu Wei's expression, he knew that this simple technical geek was thinking wrongly, and he probably didn't know how to elevate his image in his heart.

Alas, sooner or later, he will know that this is not a touching story about going upstream for his dreams, but really just the needs of the work itself...

After the two finished talking, Yu Zhengdu patted Liu Wei on the shoulder: "Don't keep working overtime so late, pay attention to your body, and don't touch Zheng Yan's things randomly."

Liu Wei nodded, and when he got back to his station, he couldn't help thinking about what happened last night. Speaking of which, he should have added Zhongka's WeChat to communicate with him. After thinking about it, he entered the name of "Zhongka" on the Internet , I didn't expect a little search to startle myself.

Several pages of news popped up on the webpage, all reporting the same thing: a large-scale car accident in Impassable Mountain.

The name "Zhongka" appeared in the list of victims.

Liu Wei:! ! ! ! ! !

Liu Wei jumped up against the case and shouted loudly: "Boss, our internal test users are too much!"

Yu Zhengdu hadn't gone far yet, when he heard the words, he came back and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Wei pointed at the news screen and said with righteous indignation: "He actually used the victim's information to register an account, it's so obscene!"

Yu Zhengdu: "..."

Yu Zhengdu patted him on the shoulder: "Work hard, you are very suitable for our company."

The author has something to say: Zhong Ka: I am a ghost.

Liu Wei: No, you are not.

As long as it is scientific and materialistic enough, ghosts are not ghosts!
