Rebirth of America, this is my time

In 1975, Los Angeles was already the largest city in California, ranking third even within a meter. In terms of municipal planning, it had its own characteristics. The design was so popular that it made people admire it. You can tell at a glance where the center is.

Ethan came to Los Angeles in his previous life. It was in 2016. At that time, he used more than 3,000 US dollars earned from part-time work to buy a ticket for Staples and came to Los Angeles to watch the curtain call on April 14. show. Perhaps because of the emotional bonus, he felt that Los Angeles was really cool at that time. The streets were full of people, and wherever he looked, there was a sea of ​​purple and gold with special codes, but in this era...

Before, when he came to Los Angeles to sell "Snake Game" to Sega, Ethan felt that the place was very ordinary. The dense cobweb-like road layout made him dizzy, and the visible crowding made him very suffocated when he drove there. Although the person driving the car this time was Steve Jobs, and the stop-and-go anger was reduced a lot when he was sitting in the passenger seat, but the helplessness that came directly to him still made him uninterested.

Looking at the long queue, he sighed and complained: "Steve, why do you think there is such a traffic jam in Los Angeles?"

To be honest, Ethan just asked casually.

But before Jobs could answer, a charming voice came into his ears.

"Because this is the City of Angels! The San Fernando Valley is right here, so a little congestion is normal, right?"

"After all, the pipeline traffic over there needs to be cleared every day."

‘! ’

Ethan was stunned when he heard such words.

Good guy, in broad daylight, someone actually dares to drive in public?

Don't want to die?

Looking along, a girl with a good face and cool clothes waved to them in the Chevrolet car driving alongside them.

"The car is cool, handsome guy! What brand is it?"

After noticing that both Jobs and Ethan were looking at her, the girl asked directly.

Before Ethan could figure out the situation, Jobs smiled and said, "Oh! This is Dino, Ferrari's Dino."

"Really? No wonder he's so cool! I swear, you are the most handsome guy on this road!"

The girl smiled and said: "If you are lucky, can we get to know each other?"

"Oh, thank you, thank you for the compliment." Jobs shook his head.

He refused: "I'm not from California. I just came here to do some business and will be leaving soon, so I'm sorry."

"That's really a pity." The girl said with emotion.

Ethan understood the extremely high-energy conversation.

And precisely because he understood it, he became even more confused.

When he turned his attention to Jobs, the guy who had already looked away had his mouth corners raised, with happiness written all over his face.

After noticing that Ethan was looking at him, he even said proudly:

"Brother! You should know why I want to drive your car, right? Because this is Los Angeles!"

"Hollywood is here! This is the most developed place in our country's entertainment industry!"

"If you don't drive a luxury car when you come to this place, how can you have real fun?"

"Huh?" Jobs winked at Ethan.

He picked up the sunglasses from his collar and put them on the bridge of his nose.

Then he put one hand on the car window and the other on the steering wheel.

Although the traffic flow in front of me was almost stagnant, the inexplicable sense of relief directly washed away the discomfort of the traffic jam.

‘Fuck! ’

‘This guy is driving my car just to beep? ’

Ethan never imagined that this was the real reason why Jobs wanted to be a driver!

When he looked around and found that the guys waiting together were all looking this way, he felt that he had suffered a loss!

Oh no!

It’s a huge loss!

Because after buying the car, he also installed it, but it was only a small-scale display.

He has never experienced this kind of large-scale coolness!

As a result, Steve Jobs got the better of him?

Oh! Fxxk!

And just when he was about to curse, he felt something was wrong.

Because last time... he seemed to be in front of Steve Jobs' house... and exploded?

hiss--

Is this guy not doing it on purpose?

"So you did it on purpose?" Ethan thought he had discovered Hua Dian, "Did you drive on purpose?"

"NO." Jobs shook his head decisively and denied continuously, "I just think your behavior of stepping on the gas in neutral last time in front of my house was not cool enough, so I wanted to show you how to be more cool."

‘…’

Ethan was shocked!

He didn't expect that Jobs could be so shameless!

If it weren't for the difficulty of changing people on the road, he would have even wanted to drive this guy out!

no way! Who makes this guy's behavior so irritating?

It doesn’t matter if you drive his car and pretend to beep. The important thing is that you have to pretend to beep in front of him.

It's okay to pretend to be beeping in front of him, but what's even more disgusting is that this guy insists on saying that his pretense of beeping last time was not smooth.

This kind of behavior in his previous life would have been to preserve the original flavor of the ingredients - deliberately or accidentally!

Thinking of this, Ethan just hummed and shook his head, too lazy to pay attention to him.

But at the same time, he also made a note for Jobs in his little notebook.

[On October 15, 1975, Steve Jobs used my car to beep in front of me! 】

[I, Ethan, must avenge this revenge! 】

However, no matter how angry Ethan was, he had to admit that the spirited boy version of Steve Jobs really knew how to play. When they came to the northwest of Los Angeles, within the confines of Hollywood, the guy immediately slowed down and strolled slowly on the road.

As for the reason...

Very simple.

The guys who can appear in this place all have a certain vision for Hollywood.

Tourists who come to appreciate it will seize every opportunity to spot stars.

In this way, the Dino 246 GTS is the best eye-catcher!

At the same time, those who want to become famous cannot let go of any path to heaven.

And the Dino 246 GTS car can give them the illusion of being an extraordinary car owner!

after all! This is Hollywood!

Those who can drive sports cars in this place are either rich or powerful. If they are not famous, then they must be famous!

No matter which one of these four it touches, it will fly!

Because of this, when Jobs drove the Dino 246 GTS around Hollywood, the red body and long hair immediately attracted the attention of many people. And when he arrived at the door of Universal Studios, he showed his face under the sunglasses to the guard, and after they let him go directly, Ethan could even feel the endless flow of people pouring out of the stores outside the studio. love!

And this feeling made Ethan even more unhappy.

After getting off the car, he said directly: "Steve, I am now informing you as an investor of an unnamed company——"

"You will have no salary in the future!"

"I've deducted all your wages!"

Jobs was stunned when he heard these words. He wanted to return the keys to the sports car to Ethan, but after hearing these words, he took back his hand and put the keys of the Dino 246 GTS in his own pocket. in the pocket.

"Well, I don't have any salary anyway, so you can lend me your car to drive for a few more days. I want to get my salary back."

‘How can this person be so shameless? ’

Ethan's mouth twitched.

And just when he frowned and thought about whether he should punch out and educate this shameless guy, Jobs had already opened his arms, put his arms around his shoulders, and led him towards the Universal Studios building. Drilled.

At the same time, he smiled and said: "Oh Ethan, don't be angry~"

"If you still keep a straight face later, I will probably be taken away by the Los Angeles police."

"Because my friend will definitely think that you were kidnapped by me."

"At that time, he will definitely call the police."

While talking to Ethan, Jobs smiled and waved to the staff in the Universal Building.

The carefree and free manner makes you feel as if you are back at home.

This situation also surprised Ethan, because he had no idea how Steve Jobs, a former Atari employee and the future founder of Apple, got along with the staff of Universal Pictures.

Because regardless of whether it is a video game or a personal microcomputer, it is nothing like a movie!

But even though he was curious, Ethan didn't show it, but snorted coldly and said, "I don't believe it."

"Ah?" Jobs, who was waving to the people next to him, didn't understand. "What don't you believe?"

"I don't believe your friend would call the police." Ethan said again.

Such words made Jobs laugh. He took Ethan into the elevator, and after pressing the sign for the third floor, he said: "Oh Ethan, I may joke with you about other things, but I definitely won't." I will talk nonsense about this matter.”

"If you tell him that you were kidnapped by me, I think he will call the police."

While talking, the elevator had already reached the third floor.

After opening the door, Jobs took Ethan into a straight passage. While moving forward, he added: "Ethan, you may think some things are exaggerated, but I still want to say that this friend of mine has three lives."

"The first life was given by his parents, so even if his parents are divorced, he hopes they can remarry."

"The second life is movies. When I met him, he told me that he would make the best movies in the world, and he would gain both box office and awards. And now, he has done that. We’re halfway there, and the other half will depend on next year’s Oscars.”

"And his third life is-"

At this point, Steve Jobs stopped.

Because they have reached the end.

And in front of them, there was a closed door.

The dark brown surface is full of traces of time.

There is no sign on this door. At first glance, it even looks like a utility room.

But even so, bursts of sounds still came from inside.

Unfortunately, maybe because the sound was too low, or maybe because the sound insulation was good, Ethan didn't hear it clearly.

But it didn't matter. When Ethan was curious, Jobs had already raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Dong dong dong——"

"Dong dong dong——"

"Dong dong dong——"

The three long and one short sounds seemed to be a signal.

After Jobs stopped, a roar came out, "Who?"

"It's me! Steve! Steve Jobs!" Jobs shouted.

At the same time, he also said: "Steven! I brought Ethan!"

"Ethan Jones! The inventor of "Snake Game" I'm telling you about, Ethan Jones!"

"Wow~Thank you!" the person inside responded happily, "You can just come in! The door is unlocked!"

With these words, Jobs turned the handle and pushed the door open.

As he moved, a noisy knocking sound entered Ethan's ears.

Immediately afterwards, he got into the house and saw everything clearly.

This is an office with an area of ​​about 200 square feet, with a table and a few chairs randomly placed inside.

There were a lot of documents piled on the table, and after a quick scan, the chaotic appearance was simply representative of disorder.

There are many posters on the east wall.

The first one has a yellow background, with a black and white photo hanging in the center facing upwards, and "Amblin'" written below the photo;

The second one also has yellow elements, but there is no photo on it, but a roaring male head with the name "Duel" underneath;

Next to them is a poster based on a black and white photo, with elements such as handcuffs, ammunition and a bear, and its name is "The Sugarland Express";

In addition, the last poster shows a blue sea, a roaring shark, and the title of the film is "Jaws".

Such a fact made Ethan narrow his eyes.

He felt as if he had discovered something.

And when he turned his attention to the western corner of the room, a man with long hair, wearing a plaid shirt and jeans was in the final pursuit of a "Snake Game" arcade machine——

"Oh!!! Yes!!!"

"I passed the level!!!"

"I finally cleared the level!!!"

When the little white snake that dominated the screen finished its last piece of food, the guy sitting in the corner playing the game suddenly raised his arms and cheered.

Although Game Over appeared on the screen, he was still as happy as a child, jumping up and down.

Then he turned around, opened his arms, and hugged Jobs.

"Oh Steve! I'm so happy to see you!"

"I bought "Snake Game" on the day it was released! I have been playing it for several months! I finally finished it!"

"This must be the good luck you brought me! It must be!"

When Jobs patted him on the back and expressed congratulations, he excitedly jumped in front of Ethan and stretched out his right hand, "Oh Ethan Jones, right? Nice to see you! Even happier. I can beat the game under your witness!"

"Oh you don't believe it? I'm serious! I'm not lying! I'm your fan!"

"I really like the games you made! I think "Snake Game" is more fun than other games! What are those games on the market now? "Snake Game" can be played forever. Compared to games, they are all rubbish!”

Having said this, the man clenched his right hand tightly and waved it in the air.

It seemed that he felt that his action was a bit extreme, but it was also possible that Ethan had been staring at him without saying anything, so when he realized it, he quickly said: "Oh, sorry, I've been talking to myself here for a long time without introducing myself. , this is really embarrassing."

"I'm Steven, Steven Spielberg."

"Ethan Jones, nice to meet you."

There will be more tonight, so I will update as usual today.
