Jiang Xu felt extremely annoyed.
This guy’s acting skills were truly impressive.
Perfectly life-like, not a single flaw to be seen.
If it weren’t for Jiang Xu having a godlike perspective, he would have been fooled for sure.
On the surface, Jiang Xu conversed with him amiably.
After he had figured out all the ins and outs of Huang Xiaofei and his family’s background, it wouldn’t be too late to deal with them then.
Huang Xiaofei exchanged a few words with Jiang Xu before he left.
In the moment he turned around, his gaze swept over An Nuonuo.
That look was filled with deep desire and greed, but it vanished in an instant. He reverted to that harmless appearance.
An Nuonuo’s delicate body trembled slightly.
She was very sensitive.
Even though Huang Xiaofei had concealed it well, she still sensed something. After they finished registering, the two of them went straight to Fu Yanjie’s internet cafe.
As soon as they entered the cafe, a wave of heat engulfs them along with a booming noise.
All around, the place was packed with people.
Moreover, the vast majority were playing League of Legends.
The game had been online for a week.
It attracted many players with its fairness and matches lasting twenty or thirty minutes, at most just over forty minutes.
Just yesterday, Jiang Xu checked the backend.
The total number of downloads had already surpassed five hundred thousand. The peak of simultaneous online users reached over one hundred thousand. Several skins had been launched, and they were selling well. The revenues totaled three to four million.
If it were a traditional game, these achievements would be enough to draw the attention of other game developers.
But at the moment, League of Legends still hadn’t garnered any interest from other game manufacturers.
Because in their eyes, the game’s ability to make money seemed too weak.
It had been online for a week and had only made a few million.
If it were any other game, with over one hundred thousand users online, the revenue in a week would at least surpass one hundred million.
What they didn’t know was how formidable the game’s potential truly was.
Jiang Xu’s most vivid memory was from back in 2019, when the media released a set of data.
That year, the game’s net profit in China was over eight billion.
With advertising, competitions, sponsorships, licensing, and other sources of income combined, it reached an astonishing thirty to forty billion.
By the time the other game developers realized and wanted to follow suit, it would be too late.
Jiang Xu held An Nuonuo’s hand as they went inside
Fu Yanjie was also there, teamed up with a few others, playing fervently.
From the screen, it was clear that Fu Yanjie was at a disadvantage and close to losing.
Jiang Xu took off his headphones and advised, “Don’t go for team fights, push the lane bot.”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Fu Yanjie complied without hesitation.
Jiang Xu continued to direct him from behind.
After ten minutes, they successfully pushed down the enemy’s Nexus.
“Damn, we actually won!”
A few other players in the internet cafe, apart from being excited, also looked at Jiang Xu with admiration.
Jiang Xu’s gaming skills were actually just average.
It was only because everyone hadn’t been playing for long, many strategies had yet to be discovered, that he could show off a little.
Then, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo joined in as well.
A balance between work and leisure was important.
Lately, both Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo had been busy, with little time to rest, let alone play.
Jiang Xu chose Yasuo, and An Nuonuo chose Nami.
An Nuonuo was quick to pick up gaming.
Furthermore, she was willing to do these things for Jiang Xu.
So the relationship between the two of them aged like wine, growing more fragrant with time.
They played until after midnight before heading home.
Fu Yanjie had planned to go out for a late-night snack with them.
But since he had to take care of Zhang Yuanyuan, he had to give up the plan.
The weather wasn’t so hot now.
In the late evening, a cool breeze swept through, making one feel refreshed in body and soul.
An Nuonuo’s dense, black hair fluttered slightly, like a dancing sprite.
She turned her head to look at Jiang Xu, “What kind of talent should we perform?”
When they signed up, the counselor had said that to compete for the role of school ambassador, one needed to go through auditions, preliminary rounds and finals.
Firstly, a good image and temperament were essential, and then it all came down to individual talent.
Reciting poems, singing, dancing, and the like were all acceptable.
In short, you had to have something about you that was worth showcasing.
“Let’s sing,” Jiang Xu said. “I’ll write a few songs tomorrow to take to the competition.”
Well, although being a copycat isn’t very noble, I’m too eager to improve.
Just this once.
Instantly, An Nuonuo looked at Jiang Xu with eyes full of admiration. “You’re amazing.”
In An Nuonuo’s eyes, Jiang Xu was an all-knowing and all-powerful being;
there was nothing he couldn’t do or understand.
Jiang Xu seized the moment, leaning close to her ear to whisper a few words.
“You’re naughty,” the girl said, hitting Jiang Xu gently yet coquettishly. “No,
you can’t think like that anymore… like that…”
She struggled to find the right adjective.
Jiang Xu, with his arm around her shoulder, said earnestly, “Life is a process of constantly seeking self-improvement.
Climbing over a peak, swimming across a long river – all these can bring us joy
in both body and mind… Do you think I’m right?”
An Nuonuo listened quietly, then nodded, “Mhm, you’re right, but I still don’t agree.”
Jiang Xu:
Damn it.
So, after all that, you’re still not convinced, huh?
Jiang Xu immediately bared his ‘fangs’.
Grinning fiercely at the girl, he said, “Fairy, I don’t care anymore, tonight
you’re going to help me with my cultivation!”
“Ah, villain, save me…”
He chased, she fled, and in the end, An Nuonuo was cornered against the wall.
Jiang Xu chuckled maliciously.
An Nuonuo shrank her neck, looking like a terrorized rabbit as she weakly said
“I was wrong.”
Jiang Xu: “Let me tell you a story.”
An Nuonuo: “Huh?”
Jiang Xu: “In a winter, the little girl selling matches was very cold.
In the end, she couldn’t resist striking a match.
The light from the flame reflected on the wall, distorting.
Then, from the light came a domineering CEO.
He smiled at the corner of his mouth, looking at the little girl and said: ‘Girl you’re playing with fire.’
An Nuonuo:”…”
After a pause, An Nuonuo said in a low voice, “I also know a little about the art
of putting out fires.”
Hmm?” Jiang Xu’s eyes widened in disbelief. “What did you say?”
An Nuonuo said nothing more.
She lowered her head, embarrassed beyond words.
It was only because they were alone together.
And with it being dark around them, she had the courage to say such a thing.
How could Jiang Xu resist such a test?
Without a second word, he picked up An Nuonuo and hurried home.
Once home, Jiang Xu went to brush his teeth first.
He brushed very quickly, which led to a lot of white foam.
After brushing, An Nuonuo was hungry again.
There wasn’t much food at home, just a black pepper sausage left.
He gave it to An Nuonuo to eat.
Who else could go hungry if not the precious girlfriend at home?
An Nuonuo couldn’t bear to see Jiang Xu hungry, so she found two buns for him
to eat…
