Game Studio

"Holy crap, I'm going to explode..."

Late at night, Su Bai, who was enjoying a nice hot bath, finally realized in hindsight that something was wrong.

This damn Kegel exercise felt like nothing while they were doing it, and after they finished, the auntie even brewed a cup of health tea for each of the three of them.

But after everything was over, from the moment Su Bai started his bath up until now, he felt increasingly off.

"No, I have to think of a solution quickly..."

Don't even count on Chen Yusheng. That girl fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow right after the workout, too lazy to even play any games. It seemed she was truly exhausted.

It was a good thing, though. Being tired meant she had trained seriously. It seemed Su Bai was right to use Xia Lin to provoke her. People just needed some competition!

As for Zhou Jialu...

"Junior... Ah!"

Walking into the bathroom, Zhou Jialu took one look at Su Bai's condition and immediately turned around and ran.

Based on her experience, if she didn't run, Su Bai would probably...

Facts proved that Senior Xiaolu's intuition was incredibly accurate. Unfortunately, her escape speed was really lacking, and she was caught and dragged back by Su Bai after just a few steps.

Devoured in an instant!

However, this didn't quench his thirst.

Fortunately, Su Bai had a hidden backup energy source—the Wan sisters.

It should be noted that neither of them had participated in tonight's fitness program.

Because they were already practicing aerobics and didn't need much extra exercise.

It wasn't until all the girls in the stacked villa had fallen into a deep sleep that Su Bai felt the burning flame inside him finally subside a bit.

He then went out to the balcony to look at the stars.

Tonight, Jiangcheng was clear and cloudless, and the stars were visible, which was actually quite a rare sight in the urban area.

Feeling bored and not the least bit sleepy, Su Bai decided to chat in his class group chat for the first time in a while.

As everyone knows, university class group chats are generally divided into two versions: one with the counselor and teachers, and one without.

The former is the official group, mainly used for discussing serious matters and sending out various announcements.

The latter is the one everyone loves to chat in, characterized by a wild, chaotic atmosphere of demons dancing wildly.

The gender ratio in the Computer Science department was imbalanced, and coupled with the nature of the major, the atmosphere of the entire class group chat was very abstract and surreal.

Closeted folks, Genshin Impact players, keyboard politicians, porn peddlers, VTuber simps, tech gurus, overachievers who found internships in the fall semester of their freshman year, couples showing off their affection, and second-hand kings who treated the campus group chat like a flea market...

What a chaotic, peaceful, and reassuring class group chat.

Every time he opened this group, Su Bai felt as if he had come home. His whole body felt unblocked. Damn it, this was the taste of youth.

Glancing through it, the main topic tonight was the grades for two math courses that had just been updated on the school's online platform.

So fast.

Oh wait, it was normal to be fast. After all, there were very few essay questions in this exam, making the papers easy to grade.

A few students who scored close to full marks were pretending to be bad students to bait people.

There were also people trying to argue with the teaching assistants.

Su Bai asked Wang Haoran in passing and found out that this guy had indeed gotten full marks in both courses. However, he wouldn't pretend to be a bad student to bait people because there was some new drama in an anime gacha game tonight, and Wang Haoran was intensely watching the drama unfold.

As for what the drama was about, Su Bai couldn't be bothered to ask. Anyway, there would always be all sorts of drama when playing games; it was an essential part of the gaming experience.

If a game was purely a single-player PVE, don't worry, the forums would supplement the endless joy of battling with other people for you.

Just then, Su Bai suddenly received a message saying that the online game operating company he had commissioned to register a while ago was finally set up.

Su Bai and Wang Haoran had discussed this before: they would set up a game studio to utilize Wang Haoran's expertise, and the accounts they leveled up could conveniently be played by Su Bai.

There was no helping it. Su Bai liked playing games, but his life was currently too rich and colorful, leaving him with little time for repetitive and boring grinding. Coincidentally, Wang Haoran enjoyed it and accepted Su Bai's entrepreneurial proposal.

These days, having someone support your startup and working on projects you actually like was definitely more promising than working for an internet company.

At least you wouldn't have to worry too much about being optimized...

[Crispy Big White Goose: The qualifications are sorted out. How about I take you to scout for an office space tomorrow?]

[It's Not My Aim That's Bad It's Just That My Mouse Was Poisoned With Rat Poison: [Grin_Weiwei's Dragon]]

[It's Not My Aim That's Bad It's Just That My Mouse Was Poisoned With Rat Poison: Holy crap, Brother Bai, you're awesome. That was so fast. The information I saw online said it would take at least sixty working days or something...]

[Crispy Big White Goose: That's only in theory. In practice, they can give you the green light.]

[Crispy Big White Goose: Dude, what the hell is this ID? Hurry up and change it. We're going to talk business tomorrow.]

[It's Not My Aim That's Bad It's Just That My Mouse Was Poisoned With Rat Poison: Roger that.]

[Serenity Yields Transcendence: Is this okay? I even changed it to a classic middle-aged workplace profile picture.]

[Crispy Big White Goose: Very okay.]

[Serenity Yields Transcendence: Wait, why does this business license also include "Game Software Development"?]

[Crispy Big White Goose: There are no plans for that right now. Once your business is running smoothly, if we get bored later on, we can consider making a game for fun.]

[Serenity Yields Transcendence: 666, are we really going to do it, bro?]

[Crispy Big White Goose: Just for fun.]

[Crispy Big White Goose: We'll talk about it when the time comes. If the women at home are bored, we can pull them in to do voice acting, art design, and stuff like that...]

[Serenity Yields Transcendence: What kind of Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend plot is this...]

[Crispy Big White Goose: [Big White Goose_Sudden Realization]]

[Crispy Big White Goose: You're actually right.]

[Serenity Yields Transcendence: The game license probably won't be easy to get, right?]

[Crispy Big White Goose: Doesn't matter, I was just saying it casually. We might not even actually do it. Anyway, let's go rent an office space tomorrow first.]

[Crispy Big White Goose: If the price is right, buying an entire floor would be pretty good too.]

[Serenity Yields Transcendence: Is that even reasonable?]

[Serenity Yields Transcendence: Buying a whole floor must be really expensive, right? I've seen the startup parks near the school, and they all look pretty high-end.]

[Crispy Big White Goose: I don't know. Anyway, the rent over at Shengxi Technology didn't seem too outrageous.]

[Crispy Big White Goose: Let's just rent in the same building. The location there is pretty good. It's only about a ten-minute ride on a shared bike from the dorms.]

[Serenity Yields Transcendence: True.]

[Serenity Yields Transcendence: No, it's still too troublesome for me.]

[Crispy Big White Goose: ...]

[Serenity Yields Transcendence: That's just how we hardcore otakus are.]

[Crispy Big White Goose: Actually, I find it troublesome too. I usually just run there.]

[Serenity Yields Transcendence: ?]

[Serenity Yields Transcendence: Fitness freak.]

[Serenity Yields Transcendence: I think I'll just buy an electric scooter. I've earned quite a bit from you recently, Brother Bai.]

[Crispy Big White Goose: Remember to buy a model with a lithium battery. You can take the battery out and bring it to Professor Luo's research group to charge. They don't allow charging in the dorms now.]

[Serenity Yields Transcendence: Good idea.]

[Serenity Yields Transcendence: Damn, I feel like I've suddenly become a mature working adult. Sure enough, following Brother Bai means there's meat to eat.]

[Crispy Big White Goose: That's a given.]
