Chapter 38: Bro, you smell so good!
Su Jianxue tilted her head slightly, her gaze falling on the open cardboard box.
There, besides the black stockings, was a very conspicuous receipt, with the purchaser's note clearly written on it.
[Note: Thick, opaque black stockings. Have fun!]
The air froze instantly.
I, Shen Huaizhou, would rather jump off this cliff!
Even if you, Su Jianxue, beat me to death, hang me up, and roast me on a barbecue grill!
I, Shen Huaizhou, will absolutely not admit that I chose to wear these black stockings!
I'm not a pervert, why would I wear black stockings?
What? You mean the monthly tickets from our readers?
What monthly pass? I don't know anything about that.
Shen Huaizhou gritted his teeth, determined never to reveal the truth, even if it meant his death.
Is this not?
At the front desk, Su Jianxue, clutching her bag, gave Shen Huaizhou another strange look before...
"Okay, okay, I understand, I get it..."
"We're all adults, we might have some special hobbies, but it's nothing..."
"I'm going to buy a cup of coffee—"
After saying that, he turned and walked out of the studio without looking back.
But the way he turned his back to Shen Huaizhou... it just didn't seem like trust.
And that line, "We're all adults, we have some special hobbies or something," that's really a bit strange.
Su Jianxue, who was leaving the studio and going downstairs to buy coffee, opened her reading app in the elevator.
In no time, I was on the latest chapter.
Then, I immediately noticed the author asking for monthly votes under the latest chapter.
"Pfft! Hahaha, this author will do anything to get monthly votes, even wearing black stockings and doing a giant swing?"
The giant swing is the specialty of the female streamers on Dousha Live.
As a girl, Su Jianxue was very envious of the figures of female anchors like Nan Meier.
Although my figure isn't bad either.
However, it really doesn't have any elements of dance, let alone the giant swing.
Even a slight twist of the hip makes Lao Xue feel like she's going to have a herniated disc.
Meanwhile, Human: Fall Flat has reappeared on various game charts and trending topics!
#Steam Engine Game New Product Festival! This upstart company once again topped the trending searches!#
Is Human: Fall Flat really that fun?
#PartyGame! A tiny figure, yet it topped the sales charts overnight!#
#Breaking news! Insomnia Games is developing its next game! Don't believe me? Read the novel!!#
What the heck?
What is insomnia? The game is currently developing its next new game.
And you have to read novels too?
Could it be that the novel contains scenes that can predict the future of game companies?
This trending topic disappeared at lightning speed shortly after it appeared on the list.
There's no other reason than that I was reported by someone.
That's absolutely outrageous, you know? A novel can predict the course of a game? I've even seen dragons before.
After closing the reading app, Su Jianxue glanced at each of the trending topics.
Their own game became a trending topic.
This is definitely a good thing for insomnia-related games.
Only when efforts yield positive returns can a company continue to develop normally.
However, our insomnia game isn't from those big companies.
If it were the boss of another game company, now that the game is popular, he should immediately tell the company's programmers and employees to start working hard to operate the game.
For example, add some in-game items that require real money.
Or something like skin.
Want to unlock new skins? You'll have to spend some money first. What? You mean one skin costs six yuan?
The six-yuan version is just the basic model; there are also twelve-yuan, fifty-yuan, ninety-eight-yuan, and one-two-eight-yuan versions available later.
There's nothing I can't spend money on, only things you haven't thought of.
But what about our insomnia game?
Fewer than ten people came to work today.
The rest of the staff are on rotation.
Adhering to the principle of avoiding overexertion, Shen Huaizhou ordered everyone to rest.
But who the hell would have thought that Ah Xue would actually come to work today...?
凸(艹皿艹)！
……
Great! Ah Xue isn't here!
Inside the office, Shen Huaizhou, like a thief, secretly pulled all the curtains down.
After making sure the last ray of sunlight was blocked, he quickly went to the door.
With a click, the door was locked from the inside.
Even more worried, he tugged at the doorknob!
"I absolutely cannot let her in, or I'll suffer social death!"
After confirming that everything was correct, Shen Huaizhou went to the center of the room and took three breaths in front of the cardboard box containing the black stockings!
With a look of utter defiance, he pulled out his phone and turned on the camera!
He then placed his phone in front of several thick books on the bookshelf and adjusted the angle.
The screen immediately reflected half of his lifeless face, along with the background wall behind him that had been deliberately cleaned up.
"No way! We can't show our faces, or we're dead."
Shen Huaizhou muttered to himself, moving the phone camera down a bit, then felt the light was a little too dim.
I had no choice but to turn on the fluorescent light in the room!
The white light enveloped his entire body.
Looking at myself in the camera, so solemnly prepared.
Shen Huaizhou couldn't help but cover his eyes: "Holy crap..."
"That's why I need to beat the swingman!"
"Wouldn't wearing black stockings be enough?"
"That's exactly how the authors on Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform) operate!!"
But! Just thinking about how the number of monthly votes skyrocketed to three digits in just two short days!
And then there's the grand spectacle of the vast readership lining up to receive their prizes.
He had no choice but to resign himself to clicking the record button!
"Damn it! Let's fight!"
"They're filming an insomnia pill, not me, Shen Huaizhou, ha! Little reader, don't get your act together!"
As the red dot lit up, Shen Huaizhou stared at his tiny reflection on the screen.
He raised his hand and waved.
However, at this moment, a smile that looked even uglier than crying was forced onto her face.
"Hey... guys... you promised... the giant pendulum ride."
"Please support us with more monthly passes!"
His voice grew weaker and weaker, and his tone became increasingly feeble.
Then—
Before he could even begin the first action, he abruptly pressed the pause button!
No way! How embarrassing! Let's try again!
The second time, I had barely raised my hand when I realized how incredibly stupid my posture was!
On the third try, I finally managed to twist it twice!
But the image of himself filled with shame and indignation on the screen instantly broke Shen Huaizhou's composure.
He grabbed his phone and canceled the recording.
After going through five or six rounds of treatment, he finally gave up and decided to end this ordeal in the fastest and most mechanical way possible!
This is far more painful than the suffering of Hong Tianwang's old brother who was nailed to the cross.
"The author is dancing, the author is dancing, the author is dancing."
He hypnotized himself for three seconds while staring at the black screen of his phone!
Press record one last time.
