Let's give space a touch of Chinese horror!

Chapter 56 Happy Cooperation

She had heard what Li Xingzhuo said before.

—In a horror game.

Hearing the familiar voice in her ear, Jiang Yi felt as if she had returned to the time when she was still in the dungeon.

Back then, she liked to sit on the roof of the old house during breaks from cleaning and resetting dungeons in horror games, staring blankly at the unchanging, sunless gray sky; and someone would appear under the big tree in the yard, leaning casually against the trunk, rambling on and on about giving her feedback on her dungeons.

Even though she ignored him completely at that time, he was still able to keep talking and entertaining himself.

Jiangyi always thought that she didn't chase the person away because she was too bored at the time, and that she just ignored what the person said.

Until now...

Hearing those familiar words, Jiang Yi suddenly realized—

She actually remembered every single word that person had said.

"Oh, and there's more..."

Li Xingzhuo got so carried away with his conversation that his mouth got dry. When he picked up a glass of water and took a sip, he noticed that Jiang Yi's gaze was wandering.

It was obvious that she was daydreaming.

"Excuse me……"

Li Xingzhuo paused, then tentatively asked apologetically, "Am I being too demanding?"

"Ah..." Jiang Yi also came to her senses, and after a second of processing what Li Xingzhuo had said, she shook her head, "No."

"All of these things you mentioned..." she paused, "can be done."

After all, she had already done it once.

It's just a matter of doing it again.

"Really?! That's great!"

Li Xingzhuo found Jiang Yi to be incredibly easy to talk to. To be honest, when he was giving his opinions, Li Xingzhuo himself felt a bit troublesome. He had rattled off so many suggestions at once, and he was prepared to be bargained with, almost refuted, ridiculed for not understanding the game, and even for the cooperation to fail in the end. But he didn't expect that Jiang Yi would agree so readily!

She agreed to every single one of them!

There wasn't even a chance to bargain!

My goodness, they're so easy to talk to!

Li Xingzhuo felt deeply saddened.

When he first saw Jiang Yi's information, he thought she was just an ordinary girl who was well protected by her parents; so after losing her parents' protection, she was immediately bullied to the point of almost losing her life by her evil second uncle.

However, when he called Jiang Yi earlier to discuss purchasing the copyright, the sound of Jiang Lifeng's screams in the background shattered his initial impression. Li Xingzhuo even began to suspect that Jiang Yi was pretending to be weak, deliberately lowering Jiang Lifeng's guard to trick him into attacking her.

It was around that time that Li Xingzhuo became somewhat interested in Jiang Yi, and even arranged a time to come over in person to discuss cooperation—something that Li Jianglan used to do.

As a result, Jiang Yi's performance... shattered his revised impression once again—

It seems that Jiang Yi beating up Jiang Lifeng was just a case of an honest man being pushed to the limit!

Isn't that easy to talk to?

"Come on, come on..."

Li Xingzhuo diligently used serving chopsticks to put some food on Jiang Yi's plate, saying, "This restaurant is one of the better ones around here that serves natural food."

In the interstellar era, people generally choose nutrient solutions as food. After all, compared to expensive and unsatisfying natural foods, nutrient solutions are much cheaper and more filling. Li Xingzhuo only invites people to this type of restaurant when he needs to discuss cooperation, to show his sincerity in cooperating.

Jiang Yi obligingly picked it up and put it in her mouth.

A few seconds later, she calmly put down her chopsticks.

Hmm... it's not as good as the food she tried in other instances...

Although the raw materials for those foods... well, many players find them hard to accept.

Seeing that Jiang Yi only took one bite and then stopped eating, Li Xingzhuo knew that it probably didn't suit her taste. However, he didn't care. After all, Jiang Yi was a rich girl who had been raised in luxury before her parents' accident. What he, someone who had climbed up from the bottom, thought was a decent restaurant might be no different from a small street stall in the eyes of the wealthy.

He finished the rest of the food without a care, and then brought up the second thing he wanted to talk about today: "The job-hopping thing we talked about before..."

Li Xingzhuo took out the materials that Li Jianglan had prepared in advance: "We plan to create our own platform."

Unlike other legions, the First Legion didn't have the support of various entities, so their finances were always tight. Neither Li Xingzhuo nor anyone else in the First Legion wanted to be controlled by others by accepting financial support.

Li Xingzhuo and his team had certainly considered the gaming industry before. However, unfortunately, the gaming market had already been divided up long ago.

However, the appearance of Jiang Yi showed Li Xingzhuo another possibility.

"To be honest, this time we (the First Legion) are just riding on your coattails," Li Xingzhuo joked. But he wasn't wrong; "Red Robe" is indeed very popular on the StarNet right now.

"The newly established platform does not have as many resources as other platforms, but—" Li Xingzhuo's expression turned serious: "I can guarantee that the situation like that during the previous competition will never happen again."

"And all the resources we currently have will be focused on you alone."

"You just need to focus on your game, and you don't need to worry about anything else. We'll take care of everything else for you."

What do you think of these conditions?

Jiang Yi was already very tempted by Li Xingzhuo's condition of "not having to worry about anything," not to mention... Jiang Yi glanced at someone whose expression was not obvious but whose eyes were full of expectation, and slowly nodded.

"it is good."

"That's wonderful!" Li Xingzhuo was delighted by Jiang Yi's straightforwardness. "It's a pleasure working with you!"

However, "囍"'s withdrawal from the competition is now a problem. Although he has already bought the copyright and wants to use it privately for his team members, their platform cannot use "囍" for promotion for the time being.

By the time the competition on the other side ended, the hype had already died down, and "囍" could no longer attract as many people as it does now.

Li Xingzhuo could only turn to Jiang Yi for help: "Have you... had any ideas for a new game lately?"

Crimson Robe: "?"

She only paused for a second before realizing what Li Xingzhuo meant: "Are you planning to use the new game for promotion?"

"right!"

Talking to smart people is so easy. Li Xingzhuo's eyes were bright: "How long does it usually take you to develop a new game? I can have the publicity department start generating buzz..."

Are you making a new game?

Jiangyi thought about it and realized that she really did need to make a new game...

After all, the "double happiness" symbol can't generate energy for the time being, and a certain child is only "eating" without "producing" anything... If this continues, the energy stored up before will be completely depleted.

So, she first needs to find the kid who's been playing away from home, and then put him into the game to generate his own instance...

"It will probably take... about a day?"

Li Xingzhuo: "?"

"!!!"
