Chapter 255: A Collaboration of Epic Proportions
The lingering warmth of summer had barely faded when October arrived, bringing the onset of autumn. Just a week before the annual Autumn Arts Festival, Mei Fang and Lin Youxi faced the preliminary selection exam for the NOIP. Support the translator by reading @
The NOIP preliminaries are in the form of a written test, focusing on basic computer knowledge and programming skills. Support the translator by reading @
For ten-year coding veterans like Mei Fang and Lin Youxi, these types of questions were child’s play. They breezed through the exam without spending much time on it, and as they walked out of the exam hall, they jokingly complained to each other:
“To be honest, do you think we might have over-prepared for this?” Support the translator by reading @
“It’s fine. It’ll probably come in handy during the finals...” Despite Nido’s insistence that it was better not to force them to rest when they wanted to work, I still made them promise to absolutely not overdo it, keep an eye on those around them, and forcibly make anyone looking unwell take a break. But their enthusiasm was immense.
Between the preliminary and final rounds of NOIP was the Autumn Arts Festival. This year, Xia Yuan and Mei Fang went public with their relationship, and at the opening ceremony Xia Yuan dropped a bombshell—she performed and released her latest single, A Little Sweet, at the same time.
A Little Sweet is one of the signature songs of Wang Sulong[1], one of the “Big Three” of QQ Music in Mei Fang’s previous life. Like Bare Face, it is also a duet love song, a sweet tune filled with affection, perfectly capturing the current romantic vibe between Xia Yuan and Mei Fang. Although Mei Fang didn’t have much preparation, it wasn’t a difficult task for him. To attend the entrance ceremony, both Yukino and I were dressed in the uniforms that had arrived a few days ago. The designs were different for boys and girls, but the blazers were predominantly maroon and white, with a shiny new silver badge on the left lapel.
Releasing a single at the Autumn Arts Festival was essentially Xia Yuan revealing her true identity as Yuanbao to the public. Instead of letting someone else spill the beans, Xia Yuan decided to do it herself to gain popularity.
With the help of newly inducted core members Wan Chaoxiong and Xiang Bingbing, the latest edited video of the festival was uploaded and featured on the homepage of C Site for promotion. The single, coupled with the live performance at the Autumn Arts Festival of Jiangcheng NOHS, where both Yuanbao and Fangbao appeared on stage together, was a huge surprise for Yuanbao’s fans. The steady traffic on C Site, which Lin Youxi was proud of, was overwhelmed to the point of crashing, forcing Lin Youxi and Mei Fang to work overnight to maintain the website.
【This song is so sweet!】
【Is it embarrassing to enjoy listening to this kind of song at my age?】
【This song is great, I’m going to use it to make a meme video of Wang Lang!】[2]
【What kind of pervert are you?】 From a very young age, his little sister was incredibly quirky and mischievous but also possessed an intellect far beyond her peers. Even the reborn Mei Fang, sometimes found her difficult to handle.
【Wang Lang: I’ll pluck an apple and give it to my beloved Zhuge.】[3]
【Whoa! So they really are students at Jiangcheng NOHS! Good-looking, great singers, and top students—what kind of divine characters are they?】
【It’s true! I was there in person! Yuanbao is a girl from the class next to mine!】 From a very young age, his little sister was incredibly quirky and mischievous but also possessed an intellect far beyond her peers. Even the reborn Mei Fang, sometimes found her difficult to handle.
【She and Fangbao have known each other since kindergarten—they’re childhood sweethearts!】
【No way, is this for real? Are such perfect couples really out there? This sounds like something straight out of a novel!】
【Liu Cixin: Cool】
【Who’s that person mentioned above me?】 Support the translator by reading @ gemnovel(dot)com
【Haven’t you read the sci-fi novel The Three-Body Problem? It’s 2012; I won’t allow anyone not to have read The Three-Body Problem!】[4]
【So this is what Yuanbao looks like! Even cuter than I imagined, amazing!】
【Could someone please Photoshop that guy next to Yuanbao out? He’s really an eyesore.】
【What’s wrong with Fangbao? I think Fangbao is good-looking too!】
【Exactly! I think Fangbao’s collarbone is really sexy.】
“Ah Fang, you’re speaking too soon! We haven’t even introduced what we do yet!” Xia Yuan reminded him, tugging on his arm.
“Oh, right... I forgot to introduce myself to everyone. Besides occasionally helping Yuanbao by singing with her on stage, my main activity is game development. Currently, we’ve established a club at school called Ximilu Studio. Yes, that’s right, some of you might have heard of it—it’s the Ximilu Games on C Site, and I’m the producer.” Even Crixus did not express opposition to this. After all, in the situation where all the other leaders were going to battle, apart from Maximus, there was no one else who could take on this heavy responsibility.
“Actually, we’ve been working on a brand-new game recently. It’s what people overseas often refer to as an indie game. The games we’ve made before were more light-hearted and quirky, but this new project is a journey about a girl’s quest. I’ll be sharing the trailer in parts soon, so those interested can actively participate in our activities!”
Xia Yuan, swaying Mei Fang’s arm, radiated sweetness in her girlfriend-like demeanor. “Listen, listen! All the music in this game was designed by me and my friends. The game is now available on Steam Greenlight, so if you’re interested, please check out more information about our new project at the link below the screen! And... if you’re able, we’d appreciate your support for our new work!”
Within just a minute of posting the video online, a flood of comments began pouring in. However, with one shocking revelation after another in this video, viewers didn’t even know where to start expressing their surprise. An ignorant noble’s daughter who doesn’t understand a thing is playing at being lord out here in the furthest corner of the country after running away from her marital home the day after her wedding. What kind of upbringing did she even have? Lamentable. Frustrating. But due to the constraints of social status, I have no choice but to obey—I suppose this was how he felt.
【Fangbao! Is actually! The producer! Of my favorite domestic game studio, Ximilu Studio!】
【No way, I love Reigns so much!】
【Enough talk, I’m off to watch the trailer!】
【What is Steam? And what is Greenlight?】
【I can’t believe such a cute Yuanbao also makes games! My gosh, this girl is just too perfect for any guy!】
【From today on, I’m Yuanbao’s forever fan!】
【This is what you call a collaboration of epic proportions!】 Despite Nido’s insistence that it was better not to force them to rest when they wanted to work, I still made them promise to absolutely not overdo it, keep an eye on those around them, and forcibly make anyone looking unwell take a break. But their enthusiasm was immense.
