Chapter 873: Noob and Playful
Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yang assumed that Feng Jue and Cao Cuo, being former comrades, had much to catch up on after years of no contact, so she decided not to interrupt them.
She walked over to the corner where she had seen Yan Xi playing games with her earphones on earlier.
Just as Gu Yang approached, Yan Xi won a game, took off her earphones, and rested. She picked up the thermos flask from the table and sipped wolfberry water before noticing Gu Yang beside her.
Even behind her mask, Yan Xi recognized Gu Yang instantly. “Gu Yang?”
Gu Yang sat down beside her and asked casually, “Are you gaming?”
Yan Xi suddenly felt caught slacking off by her boss. She chuckled awkwardly. “I just came here to unwind while checking some information.”
After Yan Xi terminated her contract with Tiansheng Media and joined Zhaofeng Entertainment, her manager, Han Xi, redirected her focus from shows and production to rigorous training in singing, dancing, and acting. Despite years as a trainee at Tiansheng Media, the company hadn’t invested much in their development.
Yan Xi understood that fame in the entertainment industry was fleeting. To secure her place, she needed continual self-improvement.
Just two months ago, she had capitalized on her popularity online. However, the buzz faded quickly as scandals involving Tiansheng Media and the launch of Yangning Research Institute’s new medicine dominated headlines, diverting public attention away from her.
While there might still be those who remembered her, their interest had waned.
Yan Xi remained unperturbed. She was young and a freshman at Capital Drama University. With Zhaofeng Entertainment’s support and nurturing, she knew numerous opportunities lay ahead.
Due to her prior contributions, Zhaofeng Entertainment had aggressively countered Tiansheng Media, securing a significant share of their resources.
Therefore, the company showed greater leniency towards Yan Xi, prioritizing her development plan.
Gu Yang logged into her game account and sent Yan Xi a team invitation.
Yan Xi hesitated when she saw the invitation, recalling Gu Yang’s unpredictable game prowess heavily reliant on luck. She had just achieved a high score online—would playing with Gu Yang cause her ranking to plummet?
Noticing Yan Xi’s hesitation, Gu Yang looked at her with sparkling eyes peering through her fluffy mask. “Shall we play together?”
Yan Xi made a decision and agreed. “Sure!”
Even if she lost her points, she could always rely on a gaming prodigy to restore them. But facing Gu Yang’s earnest gaze, she found it hard to refuse.
Who could possibly refuse!
Anyway, Yan Xi couldn’t decline.
Thus, the game began.
Gu Yang switched gods every round, marveling at the special effects of various divine skills.
Yan Xi watched as the stars representing her ranking disappeared one by one. Each result was a “failure.”
She lapsed into a thoughtful silence.
Yan Xi suggested earnestly, “Gu Yang, why don’t you try playing Flower Fairy?”
At least Flower Fairy could trigger a luck bonus and potentially turn the tide.
Whenever Gu Yang played other characters, they often met flashy deaths.
Seeing the dwindling stars on Yan Xi’s screen, Gu Yang felt remorseful. “I’m sorry for causing you to lose so many stars.”
In response, Gu Yang spent some money to purchase several game skins for Yan Xi—all characters she had previously played.
Yan Xi’s eyes instantly brightened. She grasped Gu Yang’s hand and said, “Ah, losing a few stars is nothing. I can easily regain them tomorrow.”
“I just think Flower Fairy suits you so well and matches your style.”
“But if you want to play with all the gods, I’ll always be by your side.”
