Chapter 313: Walking Alone, Walking in Pairs
It’s just that the investment of 10 million yuan in the small treasury is gone. It’s no big deal.
Think about it, if Overwatch hadn't sold so well, you wouldn't have bought Ubisoft from Yunwei.
Now that such a rubbish fighter jet has been acquired by the company, won’t it be easy to make losses in the future?
Keep calm, keep calm.
Just think of this 10 million as a small treasury for investment in Ubisoft.
If you think about it this way, you will feel more comfortable...
Bullshit!!!
Shen Miaomiao roared in her heart and beat her chest and stamped her feet!
Originally, I would have achieved financial freedom with this wave!
Once I become financially independent, Mr. Gu can do whatever he wants in the future, and I will just disappear from the company and become a complete hands-off boss!
But now!
Shen Miaomiao secretly clenched her fists!
The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!
You bastard old man!
I'm going to fight you!
"...Want to compete with me, Huaqiang? Do you have the ability to do so? Right, hahahaha..."
Didi.
Unlocked.
Shen Miaomiao carried the crooked Gu Sheng and threw him onto the bed, speechless:
"...You can't even put an exclamation mark straight, and you're still Huaqiang. It's good enough that you have the strength of Bai Shazi."
call--
Looking at Gu Sheng, whose face was flushed and eyes were wide open on the bed, Shen Miaomiao put her hands on her hips and sighed.
commit a sin.
I am so kind! This bastard had just stabbed me in the back, but instead of abandoning him, I even repaid him with kindness and carried him from the car to the hotel.
Yes.
Just after the anchor invitational tournament ended, the heads and executives of the three major platforms, as well as various anchor players, gathered together and hosted a celebration banquet hosted by Golden Wind to thank the three major platforms for their support and also thank the various anchors for their active participation.
And at the celebration banquet, the number one person who was "besieged" was none other than Gu Sheng.
There's no way to avoid it.
Although during this period, Lao Lu, Da Jiang, and Moritani joined forces to "protect their master", the offensive of this wave of "enemies" was too fierce, and they were too numerous!
So even though Gu Sheng had his beloved generals to protect him, he still couldn't withstand the attack from everyone and was defeated.
So much so that after the banquet, it was completely unbearable.
After leaving the arrangements of all matters to Moritani and the other two, Gu Sheng said goodbye to everyone and was taken to the hotel by Shen Miaomiao.
well.
Looking at Old Gu who had already started counting the stars on the bed, Shen Miaomiao was a little amused.
Three years.
She and Gu Sheng have known each other for three years, but this is the first time she has seen him drink like this.
He sighed softly, muttered "You are really my enemy", then walked forward, squatted down and helped Gu Sheng take off his shoes:
"Master, take off your shoes and don't sleep. I'll get you a wet towel to wipe your face."
After moving Gu Sheng's legs onto the bed, Shen Miaomiao took off her coat, hung it on the hanger at the door, then rolled up her sleeves and walked into the bathroom.
The sound of splashing water was heard as Shen Miaomiao plunged the white towel into the warm water, and for a moment she was a little dazed.
I still remember that was when she had just moved into the small, dilapidated house in an old neighborhood.
Due to the unprecedented success of the Titanfall project (her ultimate failure), coupled with the joy of the system upgrade, she developed a high fever amidst the mixed feelings of sadness and joy, which made her completely confused.
She seemed to vaguely remember that this was how Lao Gu took care of her that day.
I wiped her face and hands, took her to the hospital in a hurry, used her as a rocking car, and sang for her...
Think of this.
Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.
And after that, the two of them started to live together.
It has been two and a half years now.
If this happened to an idol artist, they would have already mastered singing, dancing, rap and basketball to perfection.
Tsk!
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao was stunned.
I have lived with Lao Gu for a long time, and my ideas are becoming less and less clear.
Crash.
Shaking her head and smiling secretly, Shen Miaomiao folded the warm towel, returned to the bedroom in the suite, and sat next to Gu Sheng:
"Come on, wipe your face."
As he spoke, a warm towel was covered on Gu Sheng's face, bringing with it a faint fragrance, which also slightly alleviated the strong smell of alcohol.
The buttons on his collar were undone, and Gu Sheng clearly felt Shen Miaomiao holding him in her soft arms, carefully wiping his chin and neck.
A faint peach scent wafted towards him, and black, smooth hair fell on Gu Sheng's face, making it itchy.
“Thank…thank you…”
Gu Sheng barely squinted his eyes and spoke in a confused voice.
"Just stay still. If you really want to thank me, please give me a good game."
Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao took advantage of Gu Sheng's confusion and complained in an unpleasant tone.
"Good game? What good game? How good a game?"
After listening to Shen Miaomiao's complaints, Gu Sheng, who was in a daze, subconsciously asked:
"Wasn't Overwatch... good enough?"
"Good, very good, great—"
Shen Miaomiao put Gu Sheng's head back on the bed, gritting her teeth:
"That's more than good, that's absolutely good..."
As she spoke, Shen Miaomiao stood up, walked to the bathroom, and caught her saliva in a cup.
He helped Gu Sheng up again and fed him: "Come, rinse your mouth, then go to sleep. Go and dream about your greater game ideas."
Some tidying up!
Shen Miaomiao finally finished serving the drunk young master, and sighed secretly that it was the fate of a young lady like me to serve others one day.
With a click.
Shen Miaomiao turned off the bedroom light and turned on the night light at the bedside.
He draped the blanket over Gu Sheng, then turned and walked out of the room, leaning on the sofa in the living room, and closed his eyes tiredly.
She was really exhausted these days.
He went to the United States to discuss acquisitions and attended the OW finals as a guest. In the end, he was backstabbed by Angel's ultimate move.
The 1018 times rebate was wiped out.
Until 8pm.
With 3.09 million copies sold in a single week, Overwatch has become the undisputed record maker among FPS games in the motion sensing cabin, and has become the FPS game with the highest sales during the game's release period.
But maybe it's because there have been too many things happening during this period of time, making people tired, or maybe it's because Ubisoft's garbage is far beyond imagination and it's obviously losing money.
Shen Miaomiao, who should have gone mad or even violent, did not feel overly annoyed this time.
Although it is indeed despairing at the beginning to watch the rebate amount slip away bit by bit.
But seeing Lao Gu on the stage so happy and Lao Gu at the party so proud and satisfied.
Shen Miaomiao seemed to think that this matter was not that difficult to accept.
At worst, we can prepare for a protracted war, focus on Ubisoft, and fight with Lao Gu to the end.
Thinking and thinking.
Shen Miaomiao also slowly closed her eyes.
After a while, the sound of even breathing was heard, and Shen Miaomiao, who was sleeping in her clothes, fell asleep on the sofa.
But Gu Sheng opened his eyes at this moment.
In the dark bedroom, the small bedside lamp emitted a faint light.
Feeling extremely thirsty, Gu Sheng picked up the water cup beside him and took a sip.
Then I grabbed my phone and checked the time.
[September 1, 2023 - 23:50]
And in the push bar on the mobile phone screen, there are several more messages:
[GamerSky: "Starfield" released, IGN rated 7 points]
[Little Black Box: Baldur's Gate and Kingdom of Tears are on par with each other, and this year's best game is still unclear]
[Honor of Kings: Your "Nakrolu Pentakill Wonderful Video" has been generated, come and take a look! ]
【……】
Um?
For a moment, Gu Sheng's mind went blank.
Starfield? Baldur's Gate? Kingdom of Tears? Honor of Kings?
etc!
Next second!
Gu Sheng suddenly jumped up from the bed with alertness!
He jumped out of bed in two steps and turned on the light with a click!
But at this moment, he was wearing gray ice silk pajamas and standing barefoot on the ground.
The simple bed is covered with a blanket printed with the WOW Alliance logo.
Turn around and push the door open!
The living room was deserted and as cold as a dark cellar.
The cool cold light turns on.
There are several photos displayed on the TV cabinet.
There are his selfies in front of Ubisoft Chengdu Studio, and his photos with Hidetaka Miyazaki in FS Club...
Take out your phone again!
The Assassin's Creed LOGO on the mobile phone desktop is so glaring.
I am...
Gu Sheng took a step forward in disbelief.
The cold ground seemed lifeless.
The hollow sound in the dead silence filled his eardrums.
The overwhelming feeling of loneliness was like a huge hand, tightly gripping his heart.

Under the dark moonlight, Gu Sheng sat alone on the sofa, his eyes full of confusion and even fear.
The lifeless house is like a ferocious beast that feeds on human loneliness.
And at this moment, he was the food in the mouth of this ferocious beast.
An indescribable feeling of confusion rolled over him like a tide.
He was alone and in the midst of drowning despair, unable to grab even a life-saving straw.
At this moment, the "home" that he was so familiar with seemed like a cage that imprisoned loneliness, making it hard for him to breathe.
The Adam's apple moved.
Gu Sheng placed his last hope on the string of numbers that he had already memorized and engraved in his memory.
But after dialing the number, the voice coming from the receiver was even colder than this lonely and confused night:
[Sorry, the number you dialed is unavailable. Please check before dialing... Sorry...]
The indescribable fear is like a huge wave!
It surges up and comes towards you!
Gu Sheng had never been so frightened before. He only felt a buzzing sound in his ears.
And on the screen of the phone in his hand, a pair of pitch-black claws were slowly approaching his throat—!
“… Lao Gu! Lao Gu?!”
Hiss—whoosh—whoosh—!
Suddenly open your eyes!
Shen Miaomiao's concerned face was reflected in Gu Sheng's frightened pupils.
Soaked all over!
"What's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare?"
Shen Miaomiao looked at Gu Sheng who was completely frightened, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with concern.
The dim light made the face of the person in front of me appear hazy.
A pair of star-like eyes sparkled with worry, her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and her concern was evident.
Gu Sheng’s Adam’s apple moved.
He slowly reached out and touched Shen Miaomiao's little face.
The delicate and smooth temperature spread along the fingertips, like a pair of gentle hands, soothing Gu Sheng's violently beating panicked heart.
Shen Miaomiao felt a little embarrassed by Gu Sheng: "Why are you..."
sieve--
The words haven't finished yet.
Shen Miaomiao only felt her body lighten, and she was pulled into Gu Sheng's arms.
A blush crept up her cheeks, but it did not stop her from wrapping her arms around Gu Sheng's waist.
Shen Miaomiao buried her face in Gu Sheng's shoulder and patted his back slowly:
"Oh...oh...okay, it's okay..."
"I'm here..."
"Yeah." Gu Sheng just responded softly and said nothing more.
Emily Dickinson once wrote in her short poem "If I Had Never Seen the Sun" -
[I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the sun, but the sun has made my desolation a new desolation]
Two lives as a human being.
Walking alone.
I thought I had gotten used to this loneliness.
In fact, I have indeed adapted to this loneliness.
I am free, I am unrestrained, I am unconstrained, and I have no worries.
I am a wandering weed, a rootless duckweed.
I am used to waking up in the dark night, under the desolate moonlight, and staring at the empty room in a daze.
I am also used to having convulsions with severe headaches after being drunk, and groping for ways to wash up and drink water.
If I had never seen the light.
If I had never felt the warmth.
If I didn't say good morning to my morning light every morning.
If not every sunset, I chase the afterglow of the setting sun with my own sunshine.
If it weren't for the fact that every night I snuggle up with my own bright moonlight, chatting about everything.
"Are you... okay..."
I felt that Gu Sheng's body seemed to be shaking a little.
Shen Miaomiao raised her little head, hugged Gu Sheng tightly, and stroked his back, her soft voice full of worry.
She didn't know what Lao Gu dreamed about that made him, who had always been strong, become so frightened.
Hearing this.
Gu Sheng did not answer.
Just shook his head slightly.
I have asked myself countless times when is the right time for me to do something.
And now, I seem to finally understand——
It is never the right time.
Only now, immediately, is the right time.
Over the past three years, I have received countless invitations.
Yiyou, Xunteng, Huayu Electronics, Konami, GDC, Game Show...
But this time.
No one was invited.
I want to make my own game.
Our games.
After two lifetimes, I've had enough of being a loner.
I can't stand being alone anymore.
In the days ahead, I will be with this girl in my arms, hugging and leaning on me, like the bright sunshine that dispels the haze of my loneliness.
It Takes Two
