Chapter 156 Obstacles



"You mean he'll become an obstacle to the company, and an obstacle to me?" Gu Yiming gripped his water glass tightly and looked up.

Although Tang Xi was somewhat startled, she still said with a serious expression, "I'm afraid that's the case."

The plastic water cup had been kneaded and shaped into various forms. Gu Yiming looked down at the cup, carefully considering his strategy. He fell silent again for a moment. A cool breeze blew in from the window, moistening their hair, feeling wonderfully refreshing. Gu Yiming gazed at the scenery outside the window. Sunlight streamed through the trees, where a small bird perched, chirping loudly. After a moment of silence, he licked his dry lips and uttered a startling statement: "Then let's create a game that surpasses the flagship game of the Yifeng Group, and directly compete with them, showing them what it means to be a force to be reckoned with!"

Tang Xi was moved by these words. After replying with a "yes," she quickly left to do her own thing. She knew what Gu Yiming was going to do. She knew that since Gu Yiming had given such a clear order, there was no way they could not do it. Besides, it was their only option.

After Tang Xi left, the office was empty, leaving Gu Yiming completely alone. He continued to look out the window, and for some reason, the image of Jiang Hua popped into his mind. He immediately went to the side, picked up his laptop, and logged into the game. As the data slowly reached 100%, he logged in, only to find that Jiang Hua's avatar was black. Suddenly, he noticed his inbox was flooded with messages. Gu Yiming frowned and clicked on them, wondering which reckless person had gone to such lengths—

When he clicked on it, he saw a long message from Jiang Hua, words that were both affectionate and touching. Gu Yiming lowered his head and carefully read it all, not missing a single punctuation mark, scrolling through it meticulously from beginning to end. Suddenly, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart. Yes, he felt like he had let her down.

She was the one who helped me back then, and she was the one who helped me overcome my inner turmoil. Now, with the splendor faded and crows lying on the ground, only she has ever resided in his heart. Like that song says, for the rest of my life, through wind and snow, through tranquility, and through prosperity, it is you. He still can't forget her sweet smile that day, the time they spent together, however short, a memory worth treasuring forever. Only when he's with her can he perhaps reveal a touch of tenderness.

Thinking of this, Gu Yiming couldn't help but smile, a slight curve appearing at the corners of his mouth, very beautiful.

He leaned back in his chair and sighed, wondering how to explain things to this little devil. But first, the female lead had to be there... He'd wait. Although the incessant ticking of the clock was indeed annoying, it didn't matter when he thought of her.

Jiang Hua, what a wonderful name.

However, before waiting for her, let's think about how to create a good game. With that in mind, Gu Yiming wiggled his fingers, brainstorming gameplay, graphics, and financial calculations. Sometimes, he would jot down key points on his computer.

The night had deepened, and the birds had long since stopped chirping. Gu Yiming remained seated in front of his computer, meticulously writing his copy.

The sky was bright, and the clouds were rustling. Xiang Yu stood in front of the French windows for a while, then slowly walked to the computer, opened the game, pondered for a moment, and logged into her alt account in the new server.

[System] Welcome player 流云一甩 to the game.

Looking at the familiar scene, he suddenly remembered his chat with Ji Kexin not long ago, as well as the things he had promised, including the IDs they had exchanged. He sighed, moved the mouse to open his friend list of only a few people, entered the ID, and added Ji Kexin.

On the other side

[System] Player "Liu Yun Yi Shuai" has requested to add you as a friend.

Jiang Hua leaned back in her computer chair, looking at the friend request that had been sent to her. She didn't say anything, but asked him why he was using Ji Kexin's account. Ji Kexin had left early this morning, and before leaving, she specifically asked Jiang Hua to help her grind some monsters. So when Jiang Hua saw the friend request from the person Ji Kexin had been longing for, he naturally clicked "accept".

[System] [Friend added successfully]

Shortly after her friend agreed, Jiang Hua saw the private chat window shake.

[Private Chat] [Flowing Clouds Flick] Want to run a dungeon?

Jiang Hua glanced at the screen and thought about how she had spent so much time fighting monsters to only level up once.

[Private Chat] [Ji Kexin] Okay.

[System] Player "Liu Yun Yi Shuai" invites you to join the team.

She clicked "agree" and chose to follow, and was then teleported to Xiang Yu's location.

That was the first newbie dungeon in the new area: Yama's Palace.

Since the new server has only been open for a few days, this dungeon is not your average beginner dungeon. Even if you're at a certain level and you form a five-person team, you'll keep dying, especially the final boss. Although the loot is all blue-quality, this is the first beginner dungeon, and at this level, it's the only one you can farm. At least for now, no one has cleared it.

That's why so many people came in groups to reclaim the land.

This has led to an overcrowding of people in front of the teleportation array.

The world is full of people recruiting healers and damage dealers to join teams.

Jiang Hua and Xiang Yu are pure damage dealers, without any support or healing abilities.

But Jiang Hua was already used to it; she and Gu Yiming had always been able to clear the game even with just two damage dealers.

If all else fails, then we'll try again.

Xiang Yu approached the teleportation driver and selected the dungeon option.

[System] [Enter Dungeon?]

[Currently] [Ji Kexin] is.

The current state is indicated by a flick of the wrist.

Once inside, the two of them stopped talking.

First, there are the mobs and the boss, which are quite difficult because they are at the level required for the dungeon.

The two characters weave through a group of monsters, unleashing skills that fill the screen with special effects.

When allocating skill points, Jiang Hua considered Ji Kexin's skill level. High skill output would make her fragile, while high health would make her slow at clearing monsters. Therefore, he chose a balanced approach that would provide some damage without making her too easy to kill.

However, during the "operation," he couldn't quite change his habits, so his movement technique remained the same as before.

However, he wasn't too afraid of being recognized, since it was Xiang Yu's first time playing this game.

A group of monsters were successfully dealt with, and Jiang Hua meditated to restore her health.

Xiang Yu, watching the female character's attack animations on the screen, felt a strong sense of familiarity.

He was indeed very familiar with it; he had seen it countless times in another person before.

Jiang Hua paused, looking at Xiang Yu's character.

[Private Chat] [A Flowing Cloud] Ji Kexin, I didn't expect you to be so good at it.

Jiang Hua glanced at it and decided it would be better to clarify things with him, so she typed a reply on the keyboard.

[Private Chat] [Ji Kexin] Um... Senior, this is Jiang Hua. Kexin went out this morning. I'll help her grind some monsters.

Xiang Yu looked at the familiar name in the private chat window on the screen, and her eyes revealed an expression that she had already expected.
