"Let's not talk about that anymore." Zhuo Yu smiled and said, "The next game might be the last one I want to make, called 'Lone Light.' If there's a chance, maybe you'll be watching me go up to the League of Legends awards ceremony next year."
“Okay, it’s a deal,” Mingyan said.
As Mingyan walked out of the lounge, he was unaware that Zhuo Yu had been sitting inside for quite some time. He stood up and spun around twice.
The calm, composed, rational, and wise expression from before was gone.
He lay back on the sofa and started doing sit-ups like crazy, all the while muttering to himself.
"Holy crap, there are geniuses like this in the world?!"
"I'm already losing my inspiration and my hair is falling out in clumps just from making one game a year! This guy makes two games a year! One, Blue Star, is winning awards left and right, and the other, Dragon Slayer, is making a fortune... Is this even a human being?! Is he even a human being?!"
"Damn you, God, you're so unfair! Why do some people get everything they want and succeed at everything they do?!"
"When I get back, I'll still have to worry about copyrights, investment, and finding a new partner. Ugh, I should have just shamelessly asked him if he wanted to invest... Isn't his 'Iron Horse and Ice River' supposed to be very profitable?"
"...No, I'm still so jealous! Calm down! Zhuo Yu, calm down! Someone like this, a true winner in life, must be single! Absolutely single! Yeah, making two games a year, how could she possibly have time for dating!"
"Hoo... calm..."
"Damn it, but I'm single too!"
186. The wind and rain were dark and gloomy.
Mingyan quickly returned to the banquet.
He was quite adept at this, and after chatting with a few familiar old friends for a while, he resumed his business of collecting business cards.
Many of them were already collected by the Dragon-Slaying Saber.
Clearly stated: "..."
Xia Cheng finished his business and ran over to Mingyan to ask, "I saw you run into the person in charge from the other side in the lounge?"
Mingyan nodded and gave him a brief explanation.
Xia Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "What's your impression of him? If he's suitable, we could try to recruit him into Blue Star Studio."
“We can’t dig any deeper for now. He still has games he wants to make.” Mingyan thought for a moment, “...He’s a very calm and insightful genius designer.”
Meanwhile, Zhuo Yu returned to her seat.
I picked up a slice of lemon cake and started eating.
As he ate, he happened to see Mingyan and Xia Cheng chatting and laughing over there.
After a while, when no one was looking, Xia Cheng secretly kissed Mingyan and then beamed with joy.
Zhuo Yu: "..."
Zhuo Yu quietly went and got two servings of lemon ice cream.
He asked his companion, "Chief Designer Ming and her boyfriend seem very much in love, don't they?"
My friend said enviously, "Yeah, yeah, they're like two gods in love. Chief Designer Ming thanked his boyfriend when he won the award many years ago; I heard his boyfriend is handsome, rich, and romantic, and it seems to be true... Sigh, how come some people are such winners in life? It's like they've spent money on in-game purchases! Like in a dragon-slaying game!"
Zhuo Yu: "..."
Zhuo Yu silently took out two slices of raw lemon from the ice plate next to her.
His friend quickly reminded him, "Boss, that's raw." It's for adding to drinks, not for eating!
However, Zhuo Yu had already put it in her mouth, chewed it, and remained expressionless.
My friend: "!!!" As expected of our composed leader! He remains calm even when Mount Tai collapses before him!
After finishing the lemon, which was so sour it tasted bitter, Zhuo Yu remained expressionless and asked, "Does Chief Engineer Ming have a cat?"
"?"
After thinking for a while, the friend said, "I've only heard of a golden retriever on Earth that can wear underwear, but I haven't heard of anything else. It probably isn't one, right?"
Zhuo Yu instantly calmed down and said kindly, "Well, but I have a cat."
Ugh, that's so sour!
...
While the banquet at the Jialian was in full swing, those who remained at the Sixth Star Provincial Headquarters were also watching the live broadcast of the awards ceremony.
Zhou Liye happened to be signing a contract at the Blue Star Building when the enthusiastic secretary pulled him over to tour the studio.
Secretary: "This is Juliet, the anchorwoman who just signed a contract with us."
Zhou Liye said shyly, "Hello everyone, my name is Zhou Liye."
The designers all turned to look, and smiled simultaneously: "Ah! We've finally seen the young lady in person."
"Yes, she really is cute..."
"Welcome, young lady, hehehe."
Zhou Liye: "??"
I don't know why, but I felt a little uneasy under the designers' gazes.
It must be my imagination.
