This man knows how to hype

Chapter 335: Not No Gossip (Additional Update for the Alliance Leader)
Another few hours passed.

Lu Jiu, Lu Yan and Lin Zhenyu stood at the door, watching Xu Xiyu and others wave at them and leave.

Watching the red car taillights gradually moving away.

Lin Zhenyu's expression can be said to be as complicated as it can be.

Lu Yan next to him said directly: "San San, did he...did he really write a script called "The Sequel to Journey to the West" when he was in college?"

"How would I know? Didn't I go abroad directly afterwards?" Lu Jiu's tone was more complicated than Lin Zhenyu's expression.

Hearing this reply, Lu Yan smacked his lips, hesitated for a long time, and couldn't help but say: "Why do I always feel that the story he just told us was made up by him?"

When these words were spoken, Lin Zhenyu was almost broken.

The plot of "The Sequel to Journey to the West" is woven around him.

To be honest, he was originally very satisfied with the plot of this game. The story perfectly fits the cognition of "social depth" of a young man who is about to enter middle age.

It has to be dark, and it’s interesting only when it satirizes something through darkness.

But just now, the more he listened to Xu Xiyu's version of "The Sequel to Journey to the West", the more he realized that his story seemed a little too much, or too exaggerated.

I spent a lot of space to create a conspiracy theory, and spent a lot of content to build up a sense of darkness.

It seems that none of them can match the dramatic effect and aftertaste of the sentence "Wutian came, Tathagata ran away, and not only did he run away, he also had a love triangle; when the matter was over, he came back again."

Of course, it is definitely not appropriate to use the plot directly. Games are interactive art and are very different from movies and TV series.

But it is indeed possible to use what Xu Xiyu said as a blueprint to create a better story line and worldview.

First of all, the character designs are completely worth learning from.

Not only that, there are also puzzles and reversals such as "Is it a reincarnated spirit boy or a reincarnated demon boy", "True or false immortal Buddha", "True or false Bajie", as well as the main task of seeking 17 relics in various levels and hidden maps.

You can even use the final showdown in heaven to extend the NPC favorability development system and faction system.

There is also the setting that Sun Wukong is the last boneless relic, allowing players to make choices, which will lead to different endings, etc.

These are all highlights that can be used for adaptation.

If these highlights were just made up by Xu Xiyu, it would be very discouraging.

Therefore, Lin Zhenyu really wanted to believe that this was the sequel script written by Xu Xiyu in college. But as the saying goes, the older you get, the less you believe in coincidences.

How could it be such a coincidence that I made a game called "The Sequel to Journey to the West" and Xu Xiyu wrote a story called "The Sequel to Journey to the West" in college?

Is this really possible?

Therefore, it is highly likely that it was not written in college, and it is very likely that it was made up on the spot.

Of course, this impromptu speech does not mean that it was made up just now when we were chatting.

It was more likely that it was conceived before coming here. After all, Yu Yuyu knew the general plot of the game.

Xu Xiyu might have asked her about it. But even if he had, it was impossible for Xu Xiyu to spend as much time pondering this story as she did. She probably just thought about it in her free time.

In other words, the story you spend a lot of time thinking about is not as good as the one others come up with casually in their free time.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhenyu felt greatly shocked.

Unlike the devastated Lin Zhenyu, Lu Yan's thoughts at this moment were much purer.

He looked at Lu Jiu and asked tentatively, "Sister, what was your relationship with Mr. Xu like in the past?"

"Very good." Lu Jiu said vaguely.

"That's great. When you have time, ask him and Mr. Hu what they think. I think if they can invest in our company, it will be of great help to us in terms of funds, resources and creativity."

"I... Oh, you should find someone else to do this." Lu Jiu didn't really want to talk about money with Xu Xiyu. He felt an indescribable awkwardness and discomfort.

"Why?" Lu Yan was puzzled.

"When discussing investment among acquaintances, sometimes it is difficult to get to the bottom of it." Lu Jiu found a reasonable excuse.

"That's true." Lu Yan felt that what Lu Jiu said made sense, and then he said, "Hey, tell me, tell me, would Xu Xiyu be interested in Lao Liu's company?"

The Lao Liu he mentioned is the boss of Binary Phantom, an animation special effects company that has gathered a group of technical experts and is on the verge of bankruptcy.

"You know what? Relatively speaking, Lao Liu's company may be more attractive to Xu Xiyu." Lin Zhenyu continued.

"How about finding an opportunity to introduce Lao Liu to Xu Xiyu?"

"We haven't settled our business yet, so the introduction may seem a little unconvincing." Lin Zhenyu shook his head.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he asked curiously, "San San, are you and Xu Xiyu really just good friends?"

"What else?" Lu Jiu rolled his eyes upon hearing this, and then quickly said, "I'm not going to talk nonsense with you guys anymore. I haven't finished my work yet, so I'm going to work overtime."

After saying that, she ran straight into the company.

This performance made Lu Yan and Lin Zhenyu seem to sense something, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.

In the car on the other side, Yu Yuyu, who had been holding back for a long time, finally spoke up: "Brother, is Lu Jiu your ex-girlfriend?!"

"Cough... cough cough cough..." Such a sudden shout made Xu Xiyu start coughing.

Next to her, Hu Ningwei, who was originally leaning on the back of the chair, straightened up, looked at Xu Xiyu with sharp eyes, and made a "hmm?" sound through her nose.

"Don't talk nonsense. I don't have so many ex-girlfriends." Xu Xiyu denied.

"Tsk~ you're not being honest. It looks like your relationship isn't that simple." Yu Yuyu said with a "sleazy" smile.

"I think you are the most innocent. Your mind is full of nothing else."

After the voice fell, Yu Yuyu leaned forward and said persistently: "Hey, tell me, tell me, there are only three of us here, and Sister Xinying is not here, what are you afraid of, we won't spread rumors."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Hu Ningwei again: "Sister Wei, do you want to listen?"

Hu Ningwei wanted to listen, but after glancing at Xu Xiyu, she shook her head and said, "No."

"..." This answer made Yu Yuyu dumbfounded.

No, why wouldn't you want to listen?
Isn’t it human nature to eat melons and chat about gossip?

Xu Xiyu was happy. He said to the dumbfounded Yu Yuyu: "You should learn from them in the future. They won't gossip."

"Tsk~~" Yu Yuyu rolled her eyes and leaned back in her chair.

Xu Xiyu took the opportunity to change the subject and asked Hu Ningwei, "How is it? I've played the game demo and listened to the storyline and world view. Will you invest?"

“To be honest, I was a little disappointed at first, but after listening to your story, if they are willing to revise the world view and plot line, I will definitely invest.

Moreover, I think it is a good idea to scan ancient buildings, sculptures and cultural relics and add them to the game." Hu Ningwei said bluntly.

After that, she turned to Yu Yuyu and said, "Xiao Yu, tell them what I think."

"Then how much do you plan to invest? What share do you want?" Yu Yuyu asked.

"I will find a professional team to calculate the cost. Money is not an issue. What I want is the quality of the game." Hu Ningwei did not give a direct answer.

As a person from a top family, investment ideas may be based on preferences, but investment actions and processes must be rigorous.

After saying this, she turned to Xu Xiyu and asked, "What about you? Will you vote or not?"

"I'll invest with you in my personal name. Huaqing doesn't have the budget for this. We have too many new projects and we're under great financial pressure." Xu Xiyu replied after thinking for a while.

Hu Ningwei nodded when she heard this and said nothing more.

The car fell into silence for a moment.

Soon, Yu Yuyu fell asleep. About half an hour later, the group returned to the downstairs of Huaqing Building.

Yu Yuyu got out of the car and drove away in a pink SUV with her assistant.

Hu Ningwei also got out of the RV and got into her Maybach with a driver's seat and rear seat partition.

As soon as she got in, she immediately rolled down the car window and said to Xu Xiyu who was about to leave the car, "Aren't you going to take me home?"

"You have a bunch of bodyguards, do you need me to take you there?" Xu Xiyu looked at the black car in front.

Upon hearing this, Hu Ningwei folded her hands on the car window, rested her chin on her hands, raised her big eyes slightly to look at Xu Xiyu, blinked twice and said, "Need~"

God knows how destructive power a big-eyed sweet girl can cause when she does this move.

Xu Xiyu was killed so badly that he couldn't even say no.

I could only go around to the other side, open the car door and get in.

As soon as I entered, I heard Hu Ningwei leaning closer and asking curiously, "Hey, is Lu Jiu really your ex-girlfriend?"

After hearing this, Xu Xiyu was stunned. He looked at her for a long time with his neck stiff, and then he said, "Didn't you just say that you didn't want to know?"

"I want to know."

"Are you changing that fast?"

"It's not that I changed so quickly, I just saw that you didn't want to talk about this in front of Xiaoyu, so I just said that." Hu Ningwei explained. "You are quite considerate." Xu Xiyu was a little amused.

"No need to thank me." Hu Ningwei made a face at Xu Xiyu.

"..."Xu Xiyu.

"Tell me, is Lu Jiu your ex-girlfriend?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Hu Ningwei continued to ask.

"Yes." After thinking about Hu Ningwei, Xu Xiyu decided to confess.

But after Hu Ningwei got this answer, she suddenly felt that she no longer had the pleasure of gossiping as she had imagined.

She was originally leaning towards Xu Xiyu, and then slowly leaned back.

Then he asked again: "Which one?"

"The third."

"Oh." Hu Ningwei nodded thoughtfully. "Actually, I'm curious. You dated so many girlfriends in college. Did you really feel the feeling of being in love? Don't you think you changed girlfriends too often?"

"So in your mind, what does it feel like to be in love?" Xu Xiyu asked back.

"I don't know." Hu Ningwei shook her head, "I've never been in a relationship."

"Look, you don't even know what the feeling of love is. Even if I tell you, you may not understand it. So, wait until you know, then ask me this question again." Xu Xiyu winked at her.

"But I'm curious about how you feel, not how I feel." Hu Ningwei was not fooled by Xu Xiyu.

"But it's hard to express this kind of feeling in words, and I don't know how to tell you." Xu Xiyu continued to beat around the bush.

The main reason was that he really couldn't answer this question because he himself didn't know whether the original owner was addicted to love or was simply pursuing novelty and satisfying physiological needs.

"That's right." After hearing Xu Xiyu's reply, Hu Ningwei felt that this was also true.

So, she changed the question and asked, "Have you ever thought about rekindling your relationships with your ex-girlfriends?"

"Why do you ask this question?"

"Because I think your state is very different when facing Lu Jiu."

"What's different?"

"Like a 23-year-old."

"What do you mean by like? I am 23 years old."

"But now you look like a 32-year-old in front of me. My brother is 32 this year, and you look like the same age as him." Hu Ningwei said seriously.

Hearing this, Xu Xiyu lowered his eyes and looked down, as if replying, or as if asking himself, "Isn't it good for men to be more mature?"

"Okay." Hu Ningwei nodded.

But he immediately replied: "But I always feel that you are so tired. Sometimes you have to learn to relax and stop being so tense all day long."

"It's okay. I'm not too tense. You don't know how carefree and carefree my life is." Xu Xiyu denied.

"Tsk~ I believe he's romantic, but I may not be cool and carefree." Hu Ningwei smiled and rolled her eyes at him.

Then he continued, "You, like my brother, are eager to fill yourself up with career, as if only in this way can you feel comfortable and have a sense that you have not wasted your time.

Haven't you noticed that as time goes on, the only women around you who can sleep with you are either colleagues, partners, or rivals?"

"What's wrong with this?"

"Do you have any friends?"

"How come I don't have any friends?"

"Think about it again, do you really have friends? Or in other words, can your original friends still be friends?" Hu Ningwei continued to ask.

"Other people don't count. Aren't you my friend?" Xu Xiyu responded by avoiding the question.

"Do you really consider me a friend?"

"What else? What to do?"

"Being Hu Ningtian's sister, what else could it be?"

"..." After these words came out, Xu Xiyu was speechless. In his heart, this was indeed the position of Hu Ningwei.

Seeing him like this, Hu Ningwei sighed with some disappointment and said, "Hey~~ now you know what kind of life I'm living, right? I can't share my joys, sorrows, anger and happiness with others.

There is no one I can talk to about anything. I tried to talk to my brother and grandfather about these things, but in the end I found that some things are not suitable to be shared with family members. "

"I understand." Xu Xiyu nodded with emotion.

"If someone else said this, I wouldn't believe it at all. But I think you can really understand me."

After saying this, she turned her head and looked at Xu Xiyu: "Actually, the first time I saw you, I felt that you were different from others."

"You've said this many times."

"No, what I mean is that instead of saying you are like my brother, I mean, we are more alike."

"Where does it look like?"

"I'm very lonely." Hu Ningwei pursed her lips.

Hearing this, Xu Xiyu was startled. Before he could speak, he heard another sentence in his ear: "You too."

The conversation between the two ended here.

About half an hour later, the car stopped. Hu Ningwei looked out the window, then turned to Xu Xiyu and said, "I'll ask the driver to take you back."

"Okay." Xu Xiyu did not refuse, but looked at Hu Ningwei, intending to watch her get off the car.

Hu Ningwei was indeed planning to get off the car, but as soon as she put her hand on the handle, she turned around and said, "In the future, can you please not always let me take the initiative to chat with you? It's like I'm the only one maintaining this friendship."

"Okay." Xu Xiyu nodded.

"I still have a lot of things I want to do with my friends, but I haven't been able to do them yet. Can you go with me?"

After hearing this, Xu Xiyu wanted to say yes.

But when the words came to his lips, he changed his mouth and said, "You think everyone is as idle as you are. I am a member of society now. Do you understand what a member of society is, girl? Let's talk about it when I have time."

The reason for saying this is that Xu Xiyu feels that this response is better than simply agreeing.

People always chase after things that are not easy to get.

The same is true for happiness.

Hu Ningwei wants to do many things with her friends because she has never done them before. Now she can do them, but if she can do them anytime, there will be no joy after a while.

The happiness of doing something comes not only from its realization, but also from the process of anticipation.

Rest after a busy day, that’s what rest is.

If you rest all day long, you won’t be able to experience the joy of rest.

This was indeed the case. Xu Xiyu's reply startled Hu Ningwei at first, but then she immediately laughed and said, "Okay, you're a social person."

After that, she said, "Thank you."

Xu Xiyu did not answer this. Instead, he reached out and rubbed her head, making her hair a little messy. Then he waved his hand to signal her to go back quickly.

If she didn't leave, Hu Ningtian might come out with a knife.

Hu Ningwei didn't stay long, she opened the car door and got out, then she lay down beside the door, waved to Xu Xiyu in the car, smiled with a beautiful dimple and said, "Bye~~"

Then he closed the car door with one hand.

But she still didn't leave after closing the door. Instead, she stood by and watched the vehicle restart. When the car was about to reach the corner, she reached out and waved vigorously at the car.

Then he turned around, put his hands behind his back, and walked home with light and excited steps.

As for Xu Xiyu who was in the car, after seeing Hu Ningwei completely disappear from his sight, he adjusted his sitting position and recalled the conversation just now.

As he was thinking, he suddenly burst out laughing.

On the other side, Hu Ningtian couldn't laugh anymore. Looking at Hu Ningwei with messy hair, he asked in confusion, "No, who were you praying to just now? And why is your hair so messy?"

Hearing this question, Hu Ningwei's eyes rolled, she ruffled her hair, and said in a clumsy but confident tone, "If you have time, worry more about your marriage. Grandpa is anxious to have a great-grandson."

After saying that, she hummed a cheerful little tune, walked past Hu Ningtian, and ran upstairs.

"Hey, Hu Ningwei, stand there and say what you want to say clearly!" Hu Ningtian became anxious upon seeing this.

But Hu Ningwei ignored him, quickened her pace, and ran up the stairs.

Not only that, after going upstairs, she turned her head, stuck out her tongue, made a face at Hu Ningtian, and ran away again.
