"Um, Miss Kuroki, is there something you need from me?"

"What else could it be? Kiana found a new game, but she didn't know where you were and sent me to find you. Get up from the floor right now, I'm warning you, don't make me do it... or I'll drag you away!"

Miss Kuroshi threatened, but she also seemed quite helpless.

She was quite bored at the lunar base, and Seele wasn't around. She didn't really like playing games anyway.

As a result, she became the gofer, running between the base's convenience store and Kiana all day long. She was responsible for replenishing things like sparkling water and potato chips when they ran out. There was really no other way. Bronya and Kiana were so engrossed in playing games that even the bad guy seemed like a good person compared to them.

She herself couldn't resist the temptation of snacks and gained several pounds.

As for Mei...

She took over the cooking task with practiced ease, as if it were a natural instinct. This saved her a lot of trouble. Otherwise, they could have just eaten instant noodles together until Seele came to the lunar base to pick her up. But now, facing the threat from Miss Black Seele behind her, Xia Yuan naturally didn't dare to linger in the corner of the library. She stood up nimbly from the ground.

"Please~"

When he realized that the other party really didn't intend to harm him, he silently gestured for him to proceed.

He really didn't dare to walk in front of Miss Hei hope. Being stared at from behind was just too creepy. Besides, he hadn't forgotten what happened on the spaceship that day, and he still remembered what she had said about revenge!

"Tsk~"

Seeing the bad guy's actions, Miss Kurohi snorted in dissatisfaction and walked out without looking back, not caring whether the other party followed or not.

The message has been delivered; whether the bad guy goes or not is his own business.

Speaking of which, Miss Kuroki has become much more well-behaved lately. I don't know if it's because she couldn't find him before or if she was delayed by something. However, when she arrived at Kiana's game room, she didn't leave. Instead, she leaned against the door.

This piqued Xia Yuan's curiosity...

Previously, Miss Hei hope wouldn't have stayed here for long. She would have spent most of her time wandering around the lunar base or watching movies in her room to pass the time. Now, it's as if she's waiting for me to go in first.

"Miss Hei hope, aren't you going to do your own thing?"

"Hmph, where I am and what I want to do is none of your business, you bad guy. But recently, Bronya dragged me to do a combat test for the new game. I don't really know the specifics. Hurry up and go in, don't keep Kiana and Bronya waiting."

dong dong dong-

Urged on by Miss Kuroki, Xia Yuan gently knocked on Kiana's room, which she used specifically for playing games.

"Qibao, Miss Hei Xi said... you found a new game?"

Kiana's voice didn't come for a while, but after a few more moments, the sound of Bronya typing on a keyboard came from inside the room. "Idiot subordinate, Kiana is busy right now. Come in by yourself. The door isn't closed."

What exactly were those two up to in the room...? With a hint of curiosity, Xia Yuan pushed open the door.

"Yo~"

Bronya gave a casual greeting, but her hands didn't stop moving at all.

At this moment, she and Kiana were surrounded by those gaming devices, as if a barrier had been erected around them that no one else could pass through. Her casual greeting was almost drowned out by the clattering game speakers.

"Hey, Bronya, is my gaming partner here?"

Kiana took off her virtual reality glasses, stepped over the wall built of various gaming devices, and excitedly pulled Xia Yuan and Miss Hei hope, who were standing at the door, inside.

"Chongchong, what are you and Yaya doing in the room that made Miss Hei hope call me over in such a hurry?"

"Hehe, of course I'm developing a new game! Come to think of it, this is my first time making a game, and it's a completely different experience compared to playing games. Being a game producer isn't so bad~"

Xia Yuan's expression was somewhat strange. "So... Qi Bao, you let Miss Hei hope participate in the technical testing?"

“No, to be precise, Seele is the combat planner, that idiot Kiana is in charge of level layout planning, and I am the technical director of this new game.” Bronya demonstrated her technical prowess as a big name in the gaming industry to Xia Yuan.

"And what about me, the duck?"

"As for you, my stupid subordinate... you've come at the right time. The production team is missing an industry expert. From now on, you, my stupid subordinate, will be the leader of the testing team."

"As the test team leader, do I have any other team members? Surely I'm not the only one in the test team?!"

"Well, we can recruit later. Of course, if you have someone to choose from, you can also look for yourself. As the technical director, I won't interfere with your right to recruit team members."

In terms of making empty promises to him, YaYa is quite like a producer.

"As far as I know, a closed test should require more than one person..."

"That's why it shows how important you are, you stupid subordinate. As the head of the technical testing team, you can only let the players test after you've finished testing and made sure there are no problems."

"Duck, can you please stop taking all the pressure for granted and transferring it to me?"

Xia Yuan felt immense pressure. He rubbed his temples, feeling a sense of disorientation. How could his position have been so drastically reduced so suddenly? He had gone from being Bronya's direct subordinate to a team leader tasked with fixing game bugs, and now he was all alone!

"How could that be? There are also the outsourced art team, scene team, music team, special effects team, numerical team... I put them all under your stupid subordinate's team, after all, you and the Herrscher of Domination are quite familiar with each other."

"Wait a minute, Duck, you outsourced the game to the Herrscher of Dominion?! Isn't this blatantly poaching the Archbishop's talent?"

"Theoretically, this doesn't count as poaching Theresa's talent. After all, I don't pay her a salary. She has the power of the Corruptor Herrscher. It would be a shame not to use such a great ability to code and make games."

Bronya explained without changing her expression, exuding the air of a female executive.

Chapter 581 Is that stupid subordinate really that thirsty?

"Bronya, this isn't right... If you don't pay her, why should the Herrscher of Dominion work for you? It can't be based on her personal charm, can it?"

Xia Yuan suddenly had a very bad premonition, and this premonition was always very accurate.

"Because it's not me who pays their salary, it's you, my stupid subordinate."

"I?"

How could he possibly pay the Herrscher of Domination? Bronya still hadn't paid him his previous wages; all he had was a verbal promise and a pancake bigger than Iris's face. His wallet was emptier than the can of food next to Paddo.

"Ahem... It's just that you, my stupid subordinate, have to set aside one day each month to spend with the other party. Don't worry, we've already made a three-point agreement, and you, my stupid subordinate, will definitely not be shortchanged."

She negotiated with the other party for a long time before she finally got it changed from one day a week to one day a month.

"So, you, Duck, sold your employee without my permission?!"

Xia Yuan's expression was complicated. He hadn't expected that it wasn't Bronya's personal charm that was the reason, but rather that she was relying on him. Was she vying for his ownership? Not long ago, the bishop had even offered to take a nap with him as a condition for the deal.

How come when it comes to Bronya... she just sold herself off so readily?!

No, you have to pay more!

"Ahem, how can this be considered a sale? The other party has contracted to design all the games that Yuanli Studio will release in the future, and all we need to do is provide game plans and design ideas."

"Thanks to the Law of Domination, our Principle Studio can produce a large number of high-quality games in a very short time. As long as the game license is approved, we can monopolize the entire game market and continuously obtain game funds. In other words, our stupid subordinate is going to have money, and the wages we owe you before have finally been settled. From now on, you can slack off as much as you want. Aren't you happy?"

Not only could he slack off at work, but he would also get paid. He was quite tempted by the offer.

"Humph!"

However, Xia Yuan still pretended to be very angry and looked at Bronya, seemingly dissatisfied that she had used him as a bargaining chip without his consent.

Even the bishop agreed to take a nap with him; how could his superior not pay a price?

"According to Article 24 of the employment contract you signed, you, my idiot subordinate, are obligated to assume responsibility when the studio faces a financial crisis..."

"Ok?"

Seeing her increasingly angry subordinate's expression, Bronya still felt a pang of guilt. "Ahem, at worst, Bronya will set aside one day every two weeks to spend with you, my idiot subordinate, without complaint... Is that alright now?"

"No, it has to be once a week!"

Bronya's tie bobbed up and down, and even the corner of her mouth twitched.

Is my stupid subordinate really that desperate? But when I think about how the limited-edition Houmu doll is waving at me once I have a lot of game funds, it's not so hard to accept. After all, I've done everything I could, and all that's left is to set up the banquet.

"Hmph, Bronya, you've agreed to that, you idiot subordinate..."

Her cheeks flushed, and she stammered as she agreed to Xia Yuan's request, her air of a female executive completely vanishing at that moment.

"Wow, Bronya, why is your face red?" Qi Bao was deliberately bringing up a sore spot, completely disregarding the occasion.

"I'm so angry because of you, you idiot Kiana!"

"By the way, regarding the Principles Studio, could I possibly become a shareholder?"

Kiana awkwardly changed the subject, feeling that if she continued, Bronya might become even more dangerous than Mei.

However, when she heard that she didn't have to work and could still receive a salary, her pupils lit up, and Xia Yuan even mistook the person beside him for a greedy little Padma, rather than a single-celled paramecium.

Qi Bao felt that ever since becoming the Herrscher of the End, snacks and other treats were provided by Destiny.

Everything she eats and wears is made from her menstrual blood.

The other party was even worried about whether there would be enough supplies to transport to the lunar base. She was actually a little embarrassed, since there weren't any legitimate ways to earn pocket money on the lunar base...

"Well, we'll have to wait for Mr. Walter to return before we can make a decision. However, before he left, he entrusted me with managing the entire Principle Studio. If you have any good game ideas, Kiana, it's not impossible for you to join and become one of the shareholders of Principle Studio."

"Hooray! Bronya is the best!"

Kiana shook the other person's arm back and forth.

According to the previous plan, Bronya intended to use the name of [Arahato] to find sponsors and invest, and prepare for an IPO to raise funds to deal with the problem of insufficient development funds. However, now she only needs to throw all the game design concepts and ideas to the Herrscher of Domination.

There's no way I'll share the profits; it'll never be given to other game studios in this lifetime. I'd rather buy more Houmu merchandise.

"So, are there any ducks for Mei and Airi?"

Bronya glared at Xia Yuan resentfully. "You idiot subordinate, are you planning to stuff all your childhood sweethearts into the studio and then seize power as the largest shareholder? Why don't you just hand over the position of technical director to your idiot subordinate?"

"Could it be... that it really works?"

That's great! When we get back, we'll bring Timido to the Principles Studio and make her a formidable member of our testing team. Anyone who disobeys will get a good beating with our roller skates.

Bronya didn't answer. Instead, she grabbed Xia Yuan's arm and led him into the fortress surrounded by various gaming devices, where she impatiently put the virtual reality glasses on his forehead.

"Stop daydreaming, you idiot subordinate. Hurry up and start testing the new game properly. Bronya won't let you test it for nothing. When the game is launched, you'll definitely get plenty of crystals, and she might even give you server-wide exclusive items."

This isn't a daydream; it's already reality.

Even Bronya is his now, and as for the Principle Studio, consider it as part of Bronya's dowry.

Of course he'll take good care of this little family!

Having said that...

Xia Yuan adjusted his virtual reality glasses, lay down on the still-warm Houmu chair, and entered the game developed by Bronya, Miss Blackie, and Kiana.

Chapter 582 No, he has to switch sides!

The first thing that appeared before Xia Yuan was a hall filled with the texture of Honkai particles and a broken space, giving people an atmosphere that the Herrscher was about to descend.

[Human]:_丨_丨_丨_

[Lawyer]: _

It seems like there are two different factions. The human side has four slots, while the Herrscher side only has one. Is Bronya's new game an asymmetrical competitive game? It looks like it can also be played online...

But how can he test it alone? Does he have to honestly fight against the intelligent doll created by the Herrscher of Dominion?

Just as Xia Yuan was exploring the game interface and settings, the figures of Miss Kuroki, Kiana, Bronya, and Mei gradually appeared on the small platform around him.

"Have we entered the game? Where is Mr. Xia Yuan?"

Mei came to deliver the dinner she had just prepared to the two who were engrossed in the game all day, but when she tried to leave, Kiana grabbed her sleeve and wouldn't let her leave the room. From what Kiana said... it seemed that the game test was missing one person.

She had originally planned to refuse, as she had been playing games with Kiana for the past two weeks and was feeling mentally exhausted.

result--

After Bronya realized this... she casually pointed to her silly subordinate lying on the armchair. Aunt Mei, who had already fallen completely in love, naturally couldn't resist the possibility of taking a closer step with Mr. Xia Yuan in the game and cultivating their relationship.

After entering the game, Mei was just about to take a step forward and greet Mr. Xia Yuan, who was on another platform.

But someone beat them to it, taking the platform closest to the other person first. Mei had no choice but to stop, look around, and hide the turmoil in her heart.

at the same time--

On the platform to Mei's right, Bronya narrowed her eyes, subtly observing her older sister Mei. She had a feeling that if Mei continued, her position in her foolish subordinate's heart would crumble, becoming precarious...

Bronya, danger!

Our Miss Black Seele, on the other hand, stood with her hands on her hips, looking like Seele was number one and she was number two.

Realizing that the bad guy next to her was secretly eyeing her, she glared back defiantly. Xia Yuan had no choice but to avoid his wrath, turning away somewhat aggrievedly. If he couldn't afford to offend him, he could at least avoid him.

"Hmph, you little rascal, are you scared now?"

While Miss Hei hope was gloating and smug because the other person didn't dare to look at her, Xia Yuan was thinking about something else.

No, he has to switch sides!

What's so great about being in the human camp? With his years of gaming experience, he could tell at a glance that they weren't aggressive enough. The Herrscher camp was much better. He was going to defect and become a Herrscher! Maybe he could even use his Herrscher identity in the game to properly train Miss Blackie.
