Netizen: You don't even play, just buy it for me!
Netizen: Oh no, Yu Miao has started playing games. My youth is over!
Forum member: What games are you playing? Have you even finished your indie game yet? Go get to work!
Yu Nan:QAQ
…
Zhu Yao carried two plates of sandwiches back to the basement and heated up a cup of milk, handing it to Yu Nan.
"Breakfast should be healthy. I use whole wheat bread, tomato slices, fresh lettuce, fish floss, toasted bacon, and a fried egg."
Zhu Yao handed the wrapped sandwich to Yu Nan and then tore off a tissue to place under her hand.
Whether it was Yu Nan's imagination or not, Zhu Yao seemed to be radiating maternal glow at that moment.
The way she kept nagging herself to eat breakfast reminded her a lot of Li Yue.
However, Li Yue's constant nagging made her want to cover her ears, while Zhu Yao's constant nagging made her unconsciously comply.
"You're so caring!"
Yu Nan, who is straightforward, asked, "Do you have any younger siblings at home?"
Zhu Yao chuckled lightly, avoiding the question.
"Taking care of Yu is the older sister's responsibility."
Yu Nan rolled her eyes. Why was her niece calling her "sister" again?
Zhu Yao has excellent cooking skills.
When Yu Nan lived alone before, she would either microwave frozen food or make herself instant noodles.
Because Yu Nan was too clumsy with her hands, the food she made was almost like pig feed, so she lost interest in eating.
Li Yue had hired a nanny to take care of her daily life, but the problem was that Yu Nan's schedule was too bizarre.
Even Xiao Li, the CEO, couldn't find a nanny willing to make breakfast at 11 PM, lunch at 3 AM, dinner at 8 AM, and wake Yu Nan up for a nap at noon. And even if he did find one, she would quickly resign because of Yu Nan's mouth.
Biting into her sandwich, Yu Nan vaguely anticipated the midnight "lunch".
Hmm... Zhu Yao's hot milk is really sweet.
Yu Nan thought to herself: If Zhu Yao were a lesbian, I would definitely pursue her!
This self-inflicted urge is gentle and considerate, and her hands are "nimble." Most importantly—she's the older sister!
It's hard for our little Ji to not be attracted to such a gentle older sister!
The beanbag chair wasn't very big, and after Zhu Yao lay down, Yu Nan could smell the scent of her shower gel.
Oh no, we're too close!
Yu Nan thought to herself: I need to get a bigger sofa tomorrow, this one is too cramped.
I must suppress my feelings for my niece from every possible source!
…
Do you usually read novels or watch movies and TV series?
While the two were eating, Yu Nan decided to find out what Zhu Yao was interested in first.
"Me?" Zhu Yao tilted her head and thought for a moment. "I watch both. I read more novels and watch more movies, but I rarely watch TV series."
Yu Nan thought to herself: It would be easy if they watched it, but I'm afraid they won't watch it.
As long as I know the type of games Zhu Yao likes, I'm sure there are similar ones in my library of games.
"So what kind of movies do you like?"
Zhu Yao grew up watching Lam Ching-ying and also watched many horror movies over the years.
The scarier, bloodier, more frightening, and more exciting the movie, the more excited she becomes!
Anyway, the ghosts can't come out from behind the screen.
Therefore, she gets a sense of security from watching horror movies.
A sense of security that comes with the same adrenaline rush as the movie's protagonist, yet nothing bad happens.
"I've watched a lot of movies, and I've basically seen all the ones with high ratings on the market."
Zhu Yao suddenly remembered that Yu Nan seemed to be easily frightened, so she said, "I prefer suspense and science fiction movies. I like mind-bending movies and brain-teasing brainstorming."
Suspense and science fiction...
Do you have any favorite movies?
Zhu Yao thought about it and realized that besides the horror movies that she found incredibly exciting, there was actually another movie she really liked.
"Interstellar Forum"
Yu Nan suddenly became very excited.
"You like Interstellar too?"
"Hmm... I watched Interstellar when I was very young, and it had a great influence on my worldview at that time."
Actually, Interstellar was the first movie Zhu Yao ever watched; it was her father who took her to see it.
That day, she thought she would have a complete family.
More than the film's content, it carries a commemorative significance. It's a tribute to one's carefree childhood and one's fantasies about "home."
Zhu Yao said, "Because of 'Interstellar,' I became interested in astronomy and physics, which is why I later watched many movies."
"If you like physics and astronomy, are you a science student?"
Zhu Yao shook her head: "She's a liberal arts student, an English major."
Yu Nan blinked: "What a coincidence, I'm a science student, an engineering student."
Zhu Yao chuckled lightly: "How is that a coincidence? It's clearly the complete opposite!"
Do you want to know what I do for a living?
Yu Nan was about to tell Zhu Yao why she wanted her to play the game.
Zhu Yao only knew that her job was related to games and that she worked from home.
However, she wasn't a very curious person and didn't know much about the gaming industry, so even if Yu Nan told her what it was, she wouldn't understand.
"I don't want to," Zhu Yao said seriously.
Yu Nan choked on her breath, unable to swallow it.
"I'll give you one more chance!" Yu Nan said, feigning a fierce look. "Do you want to know what I do for a living?"
"Let me think about it!" Zhu Yao quickly changed her mind.
Li Yue is right, Yu Nan is just a child.
Children are unpredictable and easy to appease.
"Luckily you don't play games, or you'd want to kill me!" Yu Nan smiled smugly. "I used to be a mobile game system planner, and now I'm an independent game producer and lead planner."
"So, you're a game planner?" Zhu Yao raised an eyebrow.
Although she doesn't play games, her roommate does, so she's quite familiar with the word "game planner."
She often hears her roommates cursing the game designers.
Sometimes, her roommate would get so engrossed in playing that she would start cursing at the game designer's mother.
When new events or gacha pulls are released, her roommate often sends greetings to the game planner's entire family and wishes the game planner safety and luck.
In addition, Zhu Yao could also see many classmates who played the game sending enthusiastic greetings to the game planners in her circle of friends.
To show respect, the greeting might even include the word "苟" (gou) – meaning "苟策划" (gou planning).
So, he signed a contract with Li Yue to take care of Yu Nan, this "cunning planner".
That's amazing.
Chapter 14 must be passed down; Yu Nan is not an option.
It turns out that Yu Nan is a "cunning planner".
Yu Nan noticed that Zhu Yao's gaze towards her was suddenly filled with pity.
"Is it difficult to be a planner? It feels like planners are always getting scolded," Zhu Yao asked earnestly.
"It's not what you think!" Seeing Zhu Yao's sympathetic and disdainful look, Yu Nan suddenly became a little angry and embarrassed. "The planner is just a scapegoat!"
"Often the problems lie with the operations and art departments, but the planners are the ones who get blamed. Even when there are bugs, people only blame the planners!"
Yu Nan seemed to recall the days when she was being chased and scolded while working at a large company, and she still felt lingering fear.
"I'm letting you play games because I want to beat most of Curry's games, and also to brainstorm ideas... Never mind, let's play games."
Thanks to Interstellar, Yu Nan now knows what game to play with Zhu Yao today.
After frantically rummaging through more than 800 games in her inventory, Yu Nan finally unearthed "Send Us to the Moon," a game she had kept hidden away.
Send Us to the Moon is a sci-fi action-adventure game that tells the story of how, when Earth's resources are depleted and humanity's future is in jeopardy, players take on the role of the last astronaut to explore a lunar space station, uncover the truth behind a massive blackout, and save the Earth.
Yu Nan has already completed the game; she knows the plot and all the steps very well.
"This game is similar to watching a movie. The whole process takes about 6 or 7 hours, and you can finish it today."
Yu Nan handed the controller to Zhu Yao, adjusted the Bluetooth speaker, and started the game.
This game is quite different from the poorly made games that offer generous recharge packages upon login that Zhu Yao remembers. The graphics are exquisite and have a futuristic feel.
Because it's a first-person game, she felt like she was participating in a movie, or like she was an astronaut in a game.
Although she wasn't very familiar with using the controller at first, Zhu Yao, with her strong hands-on skills, was able to use it freely in less than ten minutes.
She saw a room with spacesuits. Following the instructions, Zhu Yao searched for clues and prepared to leave the room for the rocket launch base.
"This is similar to the setting of Interstellar, where resources are depleted and the Earth is covered in dust."
