“No, that’s not it,” Ning Chen chuckled softly. “I just have a wide range of information channels. The person in charge of Qiyou Studio is a businessman. They’re just making money by spreading rumors about games.”
"They'll leave once they've done enough promoting the game's shell and reaped enough profits."
Like a sudden tornado, it forcefully muddies the waters of an industry, leaving behind a mess of maliciously plundered wealth and struggling practitioners.
"Isn't anyone going to do anything about them?"
"There's no way around it; businessmen aim to make money, not support an industry. But you can. You are passionate about the game industry, and you genuinely want this industry to thrive."
"Believe me, 'The Night Shift of the Undertaker' will be a huge hit and will elevate your studio to a whole new level."
After saying this, Ning Chen left, leaving Zhu Yao staring blankly into the distance.
As if confirming Ning Chen's prediction, when Zhu Yao was preparing to start her broadcast, she found that her homepage was flooded with posts about "The Night Shift Life of an Undertaker".
Lang Xi: "Waaaaah, we were clearly promoting 'Disguised Lunar Base'."
If you randomly click on a video, the content creator has a mysterious look on his face and a "lewd" smile. The first thing he says is, "Everyone hurry up and buy 'Departures' Nightlife,' I'm afraid it will be locked in China tomorrow if I buy it too late."
Zhu Yao/Lang Xi: "It's...not that bad."
"This game features many refreshing characters: an otaku who dies from excessive masturbation, a headmaster who dies from anger due to his temper, and a lowly office worker who dies from overwork... Of course, the most memorable one is our protagonist, Mr. Raven."
"Crows are like little tyrants in nature. They are not only very intelligent, but also very brave. They dare to challenge any animal, no matter how big or dangerous it is, and they also hold grudges... Our male protagonist embodies this characteristic, and he is so sarcastic that even a corpse would want to come back to life and beat him up."
"What's most surprising is that the entire studio that made this game, except for the programmers, are lesbians!"
"Oh my god, I can't help but spoil it! If you want to have a great weekend, bring some snacks and drinks and play 'Departures'! It's worth the full price!"
There are also many comments below—
OP: Honey, your audience should like you to olive their chrysanthemums.
1st Floor: Jesus! My ears have been defiled!
2nd floor: If you weren't frozen stiff, I really wanted to give you a good ejaculation in your ear.
3rd Floor: Hey bro, I don't mind that old man, if you'd be willing to help me with your warm hands...
4th floor: ? ? ? What are you doing??
5th floor: 4th floor, go play the game!
…
The unexpected popularity of "Departures" has overshadowed the near-complete neglect of "Fake Lunar Base".
It's clear that "Fake Lunar Base" is the game Lang Xi is promoting... Zhu Yao doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.
In short... it turned out unexpectedly well.
As for 7Games' new game... it has long been forgotten by everyone.
Zhu Yao: "We shouldn't be locked out of the country, right?"
Lang Xi: "I guess... right?"
Yu Nan: "Please release Japanese and English versions soon!"

The immense popularity of "The Mortician's Night Shift" gave Yu Nan a strange sense of confidence. She looked at Lang Xi expectantly and asked, "Boss, can Lost Garden be restarted now?"
"We've only made two games so far, both of which are adventure games. Lost Garden is an RPG, and we're aiming for AAA status, so we can't be careless."
Yu Nan let out a long "tsk," but did not deny Lang Xi's words.
Lang Xi is right. What they need to do now is to build a solid brand for Wolf Blade Studio, rather than rushing things.
Although... I really want to make her own game!
Feeling somewhat unwilling, Yu Nan rolled around on the bed, trying to attract the attention of Zhu Yao, who was reading a book nearby.
Zhu Yao sat down gently next to Yu Nan, continuing to read her book while gently stroking Yu Nan's back with one hand.
Yu Nan comfortably enjoyed Zhu Yao's exclusive massage... wait, it feels like Zhu Yao is petting a cat!
Zhu Yao didn't even miss a day of reading!
Yu Maomao was very unhappy, so she placed her hand on the book that Zhu Yao was reading.
"Be good, stop fooling around!" Zhu Yao pinched Yu Maomao's cheek.
"Sister, is the book prettier or am I prettier?"
Yu Nan lay in Zhu Yao's arms, acting like a rogue.
"You look good." Zhu Yao took the bookmark, carefully placed it in the book, and then put the book aside.
"Want to go for a walk? It'll just be the two of us~"
Yu Nan's previously pitiful eyes instantly lit up, and she nodded frantically.
"This is our first date since we got together, right?"
Holding a bucket of popcorn, Yu Nan weaved through the mall. She clung to Zhu Yao's arm, afraid of being separated by the crowd.
Does catching fish at your house not count?
"No, a date is all about going shopping, watching movies, and having a nice meal! Only then does it count as a date."
Zhu Yao chuckled, "This kind of thing can be done with ordinary friends, right?"
Yu Nan sighed, "It's still different... So, shall we do something that ordinary friends can't do?"
"Haven't we already done it? Several times a week." Zhu Yao said meaningfully.
Yu Nan understood instantly, "Sister, you... sigh, how could you say such a thing... so easily!"
Zhu Yao tilted her head. "We've been married for ages, are you still shy?"
"No—no!" Yu Nan broke free from Zhu Yao's hand and quickly stepped forward to stand in front of Zhu Yao.
Zhu Yao wasn't annoyed; she simply followed Yu Nan's steps forward, walking at a leisurely pace.
The assessment is complete. Her cat is shy and doesn't want to admit it. Since it's so shy, she'll have to explore it properly tonight.
Let's have a good, enjoyable, in-depth, comprehensive, and sustainable discussion.
Yu Nan continued walking ahead, while Zhu Yao's gaze was drawn to the freezer selling candied hawthorns in the store.
I heard kids like to eat this…
Zhu Yao bought a string of candied hawthorns. A layer of clear, transparent rock sugar syrup hung on the bright red hawthorns, glistening and shiny, looking very tempting.
The candied hawthorn skewers, fresh from the freezer, were still steaming with white vapor. Zhu Yao held them out, successfully attracting Yu Nan's attention.
Taking a bite, it was sour with a hint of sweetness. Yu Nan slowed her pace and walked side by side with Zhu Yao again, her free hand quietly taking Zhu Yao's hand.
The movie theater was just ahead. The two picked out their tickets and prepared to sit for a while at the milk tea shop around the corner while waiting for the movie to start.
There were many people, and Zhu Yao held Yu Nan's hand tightly, afraid of getting lost.
"You are... Yao Yao?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Nan immediately released Zhu Yao's hand, hid her hand behind her back, and looked at the person who spoke behind her as if facing a formidable enemy.
Who are you calling, Yao Yao?!
Behind her was a woman holding a child's hand. Her black hair was piled up at the back of her head and looked greasy. Her face looked tired, with heavy dark circles and bags under her eyes, and several crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.
She was holding the hand of a chubby little boy who was biting an ice cream with a runny nose, and she was also holding a little girl who was sleeping in her arms.
Zhu Yao chuckled to herself, grabbed Yu Nan's hand that was hidden behind her back, and took Yu Nan's hand openly, greeting the man: "Long time no see, your son is so grown up now."
The woman's gaze lingered on their clasped hands before slowly shifting to Zhu Yao's serene and composed face. She said enviously, "You haven't changed a bit in all these years."
"Mommy! I want ice cream!" the little boy screamed, drawing stares from those around him.
The woman quickly squatted down and pressed down on the little boy's shoulder, saying, "You promised your mother you wouldn't shout outside."
The little boy turned his head away: "Why do you like chatting with other people so much? Dad doesn't allow you to talk to other people! Not men or women!"
The woman's smiling face twisted slightly as she took the child and left without even saying goodbye to Zhu Yao.
"Who is that person...?"
Zhu Yao shrugged: "He's someone I had a flirtatious relationship with back in college."
"Her child must be six or seven years old."
Zhu Yao recalled, "She got married after graduating from university at the age of 22, and got pregnant at the time. She had two children in three years... Her eldest son should be five years old now."
"Bilingual?" Yu Nan was bothered by Zhu Yao's use of the word "ambiguous." "How far have you two gone?"
"She's probably not bisexual. We've only ever held hands. After she found out I'm a lesbian... she always says things that can be misunderstood."
Looking back on that time, Zhu Yao finds it funny. "Later, I gradually fell in love with her and wanted to make our relationship clear, but she said she was straight and quickly broke off all contact with me."
“I don’t really understand some straight women,” Yu Nan said, pulling Zhu Yao’s hand a little tighter. “I’ve seen my niece who’s been hurt by a man and wants to find a lesbian to soothe her restless heart… as if all lesbians in the world would like them.”
Zhu Yao chuckled lightly, "That's good. At least she didn't keep me hanging on, allowing me to cut my losses in time."
"Was your previous extreme insecurity about love due to her?"
Zhu Yao didn't answer, but instead carefully examined Yu Nan's face, making Yu Nan a little uneasy. She stammered, "You...you, why are you suddenly looking at me like that!"
Zhu Yao raised an eyebrow with a half-smile, pinching Yu Nan's cheek with her hand, "I only mentioned that matter in the reader group, right?"
Yu Nan had a bad feeling; her reader account was in danger!
She hadn't checked her alternate account or read the messages in Zhu Yao's reader group for a long time... she had almost forgotten about it.
"I'll deal with you when we get home tonight," Zhu Yao squeezed Yu Nan's hand and pulled her into the crowd.
…
After returning home, Zhu Yao kept her word.
She did indeed "punish" Yu Nan quite well, causing Yu Nan to beg for mercy... After interrogating her thoroughly, Zhu Yao finally let the pitiful Yu Nan go.
Do you have any other aliases?
"Uh... Sister, do you have any other aliases?" Yu Nan didn't answer, but instead panted and acted coquettishly as she looked at Zhu Yao.
