Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

Nangong Yu's performance on the first day was not ideal.

After packing his things, Nangong Yu told his friends to go back to the hotel first, while he avoided the crowds and went to Bronya's booth.

After a busy day, he saw Kiana slumped on the table, exhausted, on the cool display stand decorated with mecha elements. It wasn't until Nangong Yu walked up to him and felt the shadow blocking the light that she laboriously lifted her eyelids.

"Ah, it's Ayu."

His voice was weak and listless, clearly indicating that he was too tired to even greet anyone. His head slumped, and even the white hair on his head seemed to have lost its luster.

Judging from her appearance, Bronya seems to be doing quite well today.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work today, Kiana."

"Ah."

Without a hint of modesty, Kiana accepted the compliment. What could she do? She had been responsible for most of the physical labor that day.

Seele doesn't like interacting with strangers, Mei is busy and can't come, Sirin is helping Bronya with her livestream to boost her popularity, and Bronya needs to oversee the overall situation. So, Kiana has no choice but to become the workhorse.

"Oh, so you're here to admit defeat?"

"Admit defeat? No, I just came to see you."

Nangong Yu turned around in the direction of the sound and saw Bronya, who was clearly in a good mood, and Seele, who was following behind her with bright eyes looking at her.

It seemed like he hadn't heard Bronya speak in such a playful tone in a long time; even at yesterday's party, Bronya had barely said a word.

From the moment she first failed in the game until now, her significantly improved performance has finally allowed Bronya to relax a bit, which had been weighing heavily on her mind.

Although she was still quite busy all day and didn't know much about Nangong Yu's situation, Bronya felt that she could start popping champagne early!

"It seems like things are going quite well on your end?"

"Hmph~ So-so, just enough to easily get into the top ten~"

Bronya is putting on an act.

Noticing the corners of her mouth that she couldn't suppress, Nangong Yu chuckled inwardly. This sudden childlike appearance was actually quite cute.

"How are you doing there?"

Without looking at Nangong Yu again, Bronya curled Seele's little head and asked casually.

"It's much quieter over there; there are practically no people here today."

Nangong Yu spoke the truth.

"Really?!... Ah, no, it's really a pity."

A fleeting look of ecstasy crossed her face, but Bronya quickly suppressed it; the twitching corners of her mouth showed how hard she was trying to hold it in.

"Laugh if you want."

You can only laugh now.

Nangong Yu added a sentence in her mind.

The somewhat helpless tone made Bronya finally stop hiding her smugness. She was almost ready to put her hands on her hips and laugh out loud. After being suppressed for so long, she finally got her revenge today, which made her extremely happy.

"Hey, don't be discouraged! I know your abilities best. Let's team up again, grow bigger and stronger, and create new glories!"

Bronya patted Nangong Yu on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Yes, let's grow bigger and stronger, and create new glories."

Nangong Yu replied with a smile.

After exchanging a few more casual words, Nangong Yu suggested, "Want to go out for dinner together? We can take a walk around the area afterwards."

Bronya's eyes clearly showed interest, but she quickly shook her head: "Although I really want to go, I'll pass today. I found some minor issues during the daytime trial, and I need to hurry back and optimize them before the game goes live. Let Seele go with you."

"You really are serious."

"It's not that I'm being serious, I just don't want to disappoint the players."

"Okay, come on."

"Ah, you too."

"See you tonight, Bronya!"

Seele waved to the energetic Bronya.

"Yes, have fun, Seele."

"See you tonight, Bronya~"

Kiana, without anyone noticing, was standing on the other side of Nangong Yu, waving at Bronya like Seele.

"Yeah, have fun, Qi...you come back here!!!"

Suddenly grabbed by the scruff of her neck, Kiana began to struggle frantically.

"Hey, hey, hey? Why, why? I want to rest too! I want to eat a big meal! You heartless boss, you're abusing your employees!!!"

"Shut up! How am I supposed to move things if you leave? You said you'd help all day, you're not going to renege on your promise, are you?"

"This, this, I, I..."

"I'll treat you to a big meal after we're done moving."

"Yay! Long live Bronya!!!"

Upon hearing about the feast, Kiana instantly perked up, working up a hearty appetite as if she hadn't been the same listless person she had been moments before.

After taking Xi'er out and arriving at an empty street, Xi'er looked around to make sure there were no familiar faces before hugging Nangong Yu's arm tightly and saying in a reproachful tone, "Brother, you were so mean just now."

As the only person present who had played Nangong Yu's game, Seele knew the power of that game. Seele had also tried the game made by Bronya, and to be honest, there was no comparison whatsoever.

One is a game, the other is like art.

“Seele, don’t talk nonsense. I’m not lying.”

Nangong Yu grabbed Xier's playful little hands that were moving all over him and responded by pinching her soft fingertips.

"But that's what's most infuriating. Bronya will be so embarrassed when she loses in a few days."

"What, Seele, are you already sure your dear Bronya will lose?"

"This, this, Seele didn't say that, brother, please forget what just happened!"

Seele paused for a moment, her eyes darting around. If Bronya found out, Seele would probably get a spanking again.

"Seele, you wouldn't want your sister Bronya to know that you think she'll lose, would you?"

Nangong Yu transformed into a netizen from the Far East and threatened Xier with ill intent.

"Seele, sob... Brother, please don't tell Bronya. Seele can do anything."

A thin mist floated in her sky-blue eyes as Xi'er leaned against him, whispering sweet nothings that made Nangong Yu's heart beat faster involuntarily.

Oh no, Seele, you're always this cooperative?

Completely oblivious to the fact that Xi'er, who was looking down, was secretly filled with excitement in the depths of her calm eyes, Nangong Yu was oblivious to the fact that a hint of excitement was quietly rising.

.......

"Hey, hey, hey, can you hear me? Good morning everyone!"

Sitting in her own live-streaming room, Xilin smiled and waved at the screen.

Good morning, Miss Pufferfish!

Miss Pufferfish is as adorable as ever today!

[What game is Miss Pufferfish playing today? Is she playing that mech game again?]

I tried out that game yesterday. It was a bit difficult, but it felt pretty good. I'll probably buy a copy when it's released.

【...】

The scrolling comments quickly filled her secondary screen, and since she didn't have time to read them all, Xilin could only randomly select a few to reply to.

"Hehe, that's a game made by my good friend, it's definitely going to be great! If you like it, don't forget to buy a copy from Titan Games after the mini-game festival, and also..."

She suddenly mustered her strength and then shouted in the live stream: "How many times have I told you? You! Are! Not! To! Call! Me! A! Pufferfish!"

Ah, that feels so good, thank you, Miss Pufferfish.

Now that I know Miss Pufferfish, I understand Miss Pufferfish.

[Miss Pufferfish, could you say that one more time? My friend says he likes hearing it.]

[Miss Pufferfish, please, just one more curse, she's about to come out...]

Seeing the words "pufferfish" instantly fill the screen, Xilin puffed up her cheeks in anger once again.

Suddenly, the words "pufferfish" were being posted even more frequently.

This scene appears almost every day in Xilin's live stream, and it's a daily interaction that viewers look forward to.

"Phew, forget it, I'm too lazy to yell at you guys. Let's play a new game today. It was made by another friend of mine, and it's also participating in this game festival. I think the name is..."

As she spoke, she typed a few letters into the search box on the mini-game festival's webpage.

"TO THE MOON"

Chapter Nineteen: To the Moon

"That guy said his game is pretty good, do any of you know anything about it?"

Looking at the loading screen, Xilin casually asked a question, and then the word 'no' filled the entire screen.

"There's none?"

As a well-known game streamer, she has tens of thousands of viewers watching her live streams in real time, including many who follow the St. Freya Mini-Game Festival. So many people say there's nothing happening, it seems the game isn't very popular.

Well, since I already promised, I should naturally fulfill that 'new fan's' wish.

"I remember the voting rankings from the first day should be out by now. Let me see where this one ranks..."

To keep the live stream lively, even if the streamer doesn't read the chat, they have to learn to 'talk to themselves'.

Clicking on the small icon to the right of the game's name quickly displays a number.
