"Brother Xu?"
Xu Qian opened his eyes and found Yan Lang squatting beside him, holding a can of coffee. He twisted his neck and asked, "What time is it?"
"It's 8:30." Yan Lang said, looking at his watch. Xu Qian was filming a night scene today, which didn't start until 9:30 pm and wouldn't finish until at least 4 am the next day. It was definitely a tough job.
Xu Qian nodded, opened the can of coffee, and drank more than half of it. He didn't think coffee was just for staying awake; he genuinely enjoyed it, especially the extra-strong kind—fragrant and mellow. He thought it would be perfect for making coffee jelly in the summer, chilled—ah, the taste…
"Teacher Xu, is Teacher Xu awake?" The person knocking on the door was an intern from the film crew, probably sent to call the actors again.
"I'll be right there," Xu Qian said, holding up his coffee.
"Okay, I'll go call the others then." The intern left with a smile.
"Let's go check how the set is going, and we can touch up our makeup while we're at it." Today's scenes are one of two cameo roles that Xiaomai had arranged for him, one in a modern setting and the other in a fantasy drama. Tonight's scene is in the fantasy drama, where he plays the final boss, a character with limited screen time but a very high status. Today is the second day of filming, and we should be able to finish in one more day.
Unlike Xu Qian, who was nonchalant and just wanted to go home, Yan Lang was constantly checking his Weibo updates. Today was the day the show "Live Well Today" aired, starting at 8 PM and ending at 10 PM, a full two hours including commercials. The episode would end with a preview of the segment Xu Qian would be participating in, and he was definitely looking forward to it. He just hoped the editors would be lenient...
Soon, Xu Qian arrived at the dressing room first. There was already someone sitting inside, Su Zhi, the actress who was acting alongside him and played one of his subordinates in the drama.
"Brother Xu is here." Su Zhi is only twenty-one years old this year, so according to her age, she can indeed call Xu Qian Brother Xu.
"You're here early too," Xu Qian replied politely, rolling up his sleeves and sitting down.
"There's nothing I can do, I can't sleep even if I want to, it's too hot," Su Zhi said, half complaining and half coquettishly.
"It's really hot," Xu Qian replied casually. He checked his WeChat on his phone and saw that Meng Ziqiu still hadn't replied, meaning there was still no news about the matter he was asked to investigate. Several days had passed; it seemed this investigation was exceptionally difficult…
Just then, his phone vibrated. Xu Qian quickly looked down, but was somewhat disappointed. It wasn't Meng Ziqiu's phone; it was Xiaomai's.
wheat:
Brother Xu! Fengtang's autumn marketing plan is ready. I'll send it to you to take a look. If there are no problems, come to the company next Wednesday to sign the contract.
Xu Qian replied with an "okay".
wheat:
Wow, you got back so quickly today! Weren't you busy?
Xu Qian:
/Smiling while applying makeup
wheat:
Okay, you go ahead and get busy, don't forget the day after tomorrow!
Xu Qian:
rest assured.
Xu Qian stared blankly into the mirror for a moment, then switched the main perspective back to Qin You's. The puppet's perspective was much more comfortable and suitable for relaxation.
Qin You had just distributed the supplies needed for tomorrow's military training to each student in the class: two sets of training uniforms, a hat, and a pair of training shoes.
Apart from the slightly strong taste, everything else was fine.
After receiving the clothes, Qin You threw his and Fang Zhe's clothes into the washing machine together. The wind was strong at night, and they were all dry by the next day, so he wasn't worried about not having anything to wear the next day.
The school's washing machines are shared, and someone has to squat next to them while you're doing laundry. Fortunately, there's no such thing as a power outage in the dorms; at most, the lights are turned off. It's more humane than my university in the 21st century. Not only are the lights turned off, but the internet is also cut off. I have to turn on my hotspot every time I'm playing a game.
Seeing that the washing machine would take another half hour, Qin You decided not to move and simply found an empty spot to sit down and play games!
Although he doesn't have time to play games due to his multiple identities, his puppets can!
This is the mobile game "Thousand Demons Chronicles". It's a MOBA game, similar to games like "Honor of Kings" and "Onmyoji Arena" from the 21st century. It's a tower defense game, but the art style is more traditional Chinese.
Qin You has been playing this account for about half a month. It was Jiang Qun who initially got him to play. Interestingly, Jiang Qun is quite good at this game, not at all like an idol who is too busy to sleep. However, he just started school recently and hasn't had much time to play.
"Qin You?"
Qin You looked up and saw Fu Tianlei, his classmate, who was also carrying a bunch of training clothes.
"You're doing laundry too?" Fu Tianlei turned on the washing machine in a few seconds, stuffed the clothes in, poured in the detergent, and sat down next to Qin You, acting quite familiar.
"Mm." Qin You nodded and smiled politely.
"What game are you playing?" Fu Tianlei asked him curiously, but refrained from sticking his head out.
"The mobile game of Thousand Demon Records." Qin You answered one by one. "Oh, Thousand Demon Records has a mobile game? I've only played the PC version."
"It's only been half a year, but it's quite fun." Qin You casually recommended it, since he had received a considerable salary from Feng Tang and could give it a proper recommendation.
"Really? Then I'll download it too." Fu Tianlei said, taking out his phone to download a mobile game.
Qin You saw how enthusiastic he was, but still had to dampen his spirits a little, "The school's WiFi is a bit bad, it will be very slow."
Fu Tianlei shook his head nonchalantly, "It's okay, I'll use mobile data. I have 10GB every month, and I never use it all up."
Qin You, who only had 1GB of data per month, couldn't help but feel envious. That was true wealth, unlike his own, which was fake!
Fu Tianlei downloaded the nearly 800MB game in no time. The 5G era is so fast!
"What's your account number? I'll add you."
Qin You lowered his head and recited a string of numbers, but his hands didn't stop; he was pushing down the second tower and was almost done.
While Qin You was playing games, Fu Tianlei wasn't idle either. He was a veteran gamer, and believing that all games were pretty much the same, he opened the newbie guide.
Unexpectedly, he actually became interested in it while playing. He had played MOBA games before, but this was his first time playing a mobile version. Compared to the PC version, the mobile version had significantly simplified many aspects, but it was also much easier to pick up.
After Qin You finished his ranked match, Fu Tianlei was still playing a casual match. Qin You glanced at his screen and saw that he was playing a warrior hero similar to Arthur, holding a shield and crouching in the bush, trying to ambush the enemy marksman.
As expected, the opposing marksman walked into the jungle without any warning. He had barely peeked out when Fu Tianlei slashed him with his shield, taking away half of his health. The opposing marksman tried to escape, but how could he possibly escape under 'King Arthur's' slowing and control? He was slowly worn down to death.
Yes, he's definitely a veteran.
After a while, Fu Tianlei finished his game and saw that Qin You had accepted his friend request. The two quickly formed a team and continued to match. Their ranks were different, so they couldn't play ranked games, and Fu Tianlei didn't have enough heroes.
While waiting in line, Fu Tianlei suddenly remembered something. "Hey Qin You, I'm thinking of starting a team. Why don't you come too? I'll bring some friends in. They're all my old partners, so we can all play together."
Qin You had no objections and nodded in agreement.
The game started, and Fu Tianlei, without saying a word, quickly selected the hero he wanted.
Qin You saw that he had picked the mid laner, and the other teammates had chosen two marksmen. In low-ranked games, there are always many inexplicable configurations, and he was used to it. He randomly picked a jungler - Bhutan. This hero is similar to Lanling King in King of Glory. Both are early-game heroes who can become invisible.
At the start of the game, Qin You went to get the red buff, planning to gank the enemy marksman in the top lane once he reached level four. Even if he didn't succeed, it wouldn't matter; getting the dragon would be fine too.
After he finished clearing the jungle, Fu Tianlei from the mid lane followed him to the top lane.
“I’m not level 4 yet, but I have control, so I can initiate the attack,” Fu Tianlei said.
“I’ll slow him down, you take control,” Qin You replied.
"OK".
The two cooperated very well and successfully secured the first blood against the enemy marksman, and were also able to take the dragon together with the top laner.
Fu Tianlei unleashed a powerful skill on Long, dealing significant damage, and then went back to farm the minion wave.
After securing the dragon, Qin You checked the enemy jungler's position, but he didn't show himself. He then looked at their red buff area, where everything was still there. He wondered if they were fighting another dragon, so he said to Fu Tianlei, "Take a look at the dragon in the bottom lane. Are they fighting it?"
Fu Tianlei went over to take a look, "Hey, wait, their blue buff is still there. Are they AFK? I don't see anyone."
Qin You paused for a second. Yes, this is matchmaking; matchmaking is the real surprise.
"I'm going to clear the enemy jungle. Their marksman is getting ahead, so we can gank again," Qin You said.
“Okay,” Fu Tianlei agreed as soon as he took the enemy's blue buff, “I’ll clear the minions and go up.”
Qin You quickly sent the opposing marksman back to base. After ambushing twice, he slipped back to his own jungle to clear some camps, and then went to the bottom lane to help take down the bottom lane tower.
After all three towers were taken down, the washing machine started beeping; Qin You's clothes were done.
He glanced at it, ignored it, and continued playing.
Five minutes later, Fu Tianlei's clothes were done, but he didn't bother with them.
The two moved in perfect unison, their eyes fixed solely on the game.
A fifteen-minute, intense game allowed them both to relax, which was a true stress-relieving game. They smiled at each other, added each other as WeChat friends, and then turned around to collect their clothes.
Fu Tianlei's dormitory was on the first floor, but Qin You lived on the second floor. The two parted ways at the top of the stairs, agreeing to play games together again next time.
Qin You carried his clothes back to his dormitory. There were six people in his dormitory. Besides him and Fang Zhe, the other four were from the next major. Their relationship was just so-so. They only knew each other's names and would greet each other when they bumped into each other on the street.
Fang Zhe went to the balcony to hang the clothes out to dry. This was something the two of them had agreed on from the beginning: one would wash the clothes, and the other would come back to hang them out to dry.
At this moment, Qin You saw that he had been added to a WeChat group by Fu Tianlei. There were 12 people in the group, and the group name was a fan group for an e-sports club.
