Immediately, someone in the group messaged Wang privately, proposing that they also wanted to invest together.
People in this era are very pragmatic.
When Lao Wang was borrowing money everywhere, the group was silent, as if no one had seen the message all year round.
Now that Lao Wang has received personal investment from the Dragon Slayer Sword Studio, he has suddenly become a hot commodity.
He was naturally aware of the reasons for this change, and therefore did not accept any other investments.
Then, in his excitement, Wang even went to answer questions on a Q&A community.
What's it like to meet a benefactor and receive angel investment?
[Unsolicited comment. I've just received angel investment from the Dragon Slayer Sword Studio. Let me first tell you about my efforts over the past few months to secure sponsorship... and I'll also show you the email template I sent to the "God of Wealth," as a way of sharing my experience.]
There was also a once-famous figure in the group who, unusually, remained silent throughout.
—Kriri silently scrolled through the chat history.
After the atmosphere in the group became lively, they quickly started talking about more related things—when it comes to "geniuses," one has to mention the "genius" Mingyan from Blue Star.
Blue Star Studio also has a habit of angel investing, and many of our old classmates have shamelessly visited Blue Star in the past.
The more I looked at it, the more uncomfortable I felt.
Back then, our college entrance exam scores were almost identical, and we all graduated with self-selected topics, but our post-graduation experiences were worlds apart...
Mingyan has always been "someone else's child".
Back when grades were discussed in college, Kerry's father didn't take Mingyan seriously.
Later, Mingyan's two games were very successful, and he also founded Blue Star Studio. His father used Mingyan as a positive example to teach Kerry.
Now, more than four years after graduation, even Kerry's father regards Mingyan as a successful celebrity and no longer compares him to his own child.
The difference is so great that it's almost impossible to believe they graduated from the same year and class.
Kerry hadn't seen Mingyan for two years and couldn't imagine that they had once been in the same class and worked in the same building.
Mingyan seems to belong to another world.
Kerry pulled out his phone's photo album and found the only photo of him and Mingyan together, taken when they were first assigned to different classes in their freshman year.
He watched for a while, then sat in his office and smoked a cigarette.
If only I hadn't been so naive back then and hadn't childishly bullied the person I liked.
Chapter 88 Me and Myself
Mingyan was completely unaware of the small ripples he had caused, and he has now hurriedly returned to Blue Star Studio.
Because the person in charge in the far-off Three-Star Province sent back a message: Ling Lingqi has woken up.
Upon hearing the news, all the employees of Blue Star happily gathered in a circle.
Ling Lingqi was only awake for half an hour, but she managed to record a video that was a little over a minute long.
In the video, he can be seen lying half-reclined on the hospital bed, his face pale, but his eyes bright.
He looked at the camera and smiled, "I've heard about the new game...it looks really fun. I'll definitely try it out once I can get out of bed."
At this moment, off-screen, his mother said, "I heard that game is very difficult."
Ling Lingqi winked and smiled, "Playing through the game via video is also a way to play through the game."
In fact, Ling Lingqi was forced into hibernation again because his physical condition did not allow it.
He is gradually getting better, and he must strictly follow the doctor's instructions during the recovery process.
The latter half of the video shows his mother filming the latest test results and explaining Ling Lingqi's condition to everyone on Earth.
She added, "Thank you all for your continued concern for my son. I am so glad that he worked in such a great studio, and even happier that he has such wonderful friends."
Mingyan stood among the employees of Blue Star and watched the video with them.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled.
He announced openly, "To celebrate Ling Lingqi's recovery, how about we work overtime for an hour today?"
Immediately, a workaholic employee shouted, "Long live the boss!!!"
Mingyan immediately raised his hands in surrender, saying, "I was just kidding! Actually, I wanted to give you guys a day off!"
Something surprising happened: a large group of employees let out a long "Oh—" sound, indicating their disappointment.
Someone huddled in the crowd and whispered, "Boss, is the 'Hero' project proposal ready yet? Is it time for a holiday?"
Clearly stated: "..."
There's no way around it; the vast majority of employees here genuinely love the games designed by Mingyan.
They also want to play good games early!
They also want their boss to release twenty new games a year!
Mingyan's lips twitched, and he decided to change his mind, saying, "Okay, then let's change it to today's cafeteria offering free hot pot, and everyone's lunch break will be extended by one hour."
"Long live the boss!"
