Chapter 243 - 80: Game Ready to Launch (Part 2)

Doesn’t seem like an ordinary promoter.

It even triggered a chain reaction, with fans digging into this company.

"I checked the company, the legal representative is Su Xiaocai."

"Ah, this... the poor boss has to promote themselves."

"Oh wow, Caicai actually started a company."

"Shareholders are Ji Li, Wu Zhaoxiang, and Hu Ning."

"A combination of wealthy groupies, the foolish Hu Ning, the hands-off Ji Li, and the investment genius Wu Zhaoxiang."

"Another booth opened for betting. Is it Mr. Hu Ning’s cursed hand in the tech industry, or can Ji Li and Wu Zhaoxiang counteract Mr. Hu Ning’s curse?"

"I really want to ask how Su Xiaocai tricked, no, oops, I mean how she persuaded them to invest."

"Super curious, I can’t afford the game yet, I’ll wait for a discount. But I’m willing to tip a few bucks for Caicai’s next live stream."

"I won’t buy it. The company is too small; it’s impossible to have a high-quality production."

"I didn’t see any game team in the company, could it be made by newcomers? No way, right? Won’t there be a lot of bugs?"

"Added to cart, not paid yet, looking forward to delivery."

Su Xiaocai looked at the comment section, clean and neat, with no trolls stirring trouble.

Is it that the trolls don’t expect much from her game, or have they been hit back already?

Actually, it’s both reasons.

A little-known company suddenly announces a game release.

Game releases need official approval, right? There’s no news, and it’s as fast as a gust of wind.

But it has an approval number, very strange.

Meanwhile, Colonel Bai also achieved results.

Because of swift action, together with the police, they caught a group of trolls hired by a spy company, along with some moonlighting students making a quick buck.

This crackdown made the trolling industry wary, preventing open attacks on Su Xiaocai.

This also allowed Su Xiaocai’s first advertisement to proceed smoothly.

The promotional video was so well-made that several big fans like "Convince with Bricks" voluntarily shared it to promote the game.

Some are optimistic, some are not expecting much; a thousand people, a thousand opinions, most are watching to see what happens.

Su Xiaocai casually glanced at a few comments and went back to her tasks, kept busy until the next day when she finally finished Admiral Bai’s design blueprint and sent it to him.

The sent blueprint only showed the 3D appearance, with the functionality described in text.

This is the first draft; Admiral Bai requested the first batch of two mechas, with a budget of ten to fifteen billion each. For this one, Su Xiaocai was very bold with the materials, hence she requested fifteen billion in fees.

After taking a shower, Su Xiaocai ate two pieces of bread and left the lab.

The security guard saluted her, "Teacher Su, do you need to go somewhere? I have a car and can give you a ride."

She finally understood why there were three security guards at the gate, one of them can double as a driver.

Having a retired soldier as a driver, Su Xiaocai naturally wouldn’t take a stranger’s car, "Back to school, thank you, comrade."

As she opened the door and got in the car, Su Xiaocai asked again, "Besides you, do the other security guards have cars? Would you mind moonlighting as my personal driver? I can pay an extra salary."

"No need, we security guards have high salaries, there are two cars, and the fuel costs are covered by the lab, don’t worry about it, Teacher Su."

"You guys are really thoughtful." They might not know, but it’s her who’s paying the wages, and the lab expenses, too, are from her pocket. "This Friday evening at five, I’d like to ask you to be my driver for the night, are you available?"

"You just command as you please."

And so it was agreed, Su Xiaocai didn’t want to take a cab to the banquet venue. It’s not far, but a bit out of the way, and she didn’t want to make a cab driver wait around for hours.

Naturally, she didn’t want Uncle Wu to send someone to pick her up either, as he was one of the hosts of the banquet and she didn’t want to trouble him.

Having a car, she and Yu Haoming could conveniently go together then.

The security guard named Kaye, eighty-five years old, not very chatty, but responsive to questions, focused mainly on driving, seemed very steady.

Su Xiaocai sent him a 188 yuan red envelope, "Thank you, Uncle Ka, this is my first time riding the lab’s car, consider it a good gesture, like asking the security to have an afternoon tea, looking forward to Friday."

Kaye couldn’t help but say, "You’re really too polite."

"Yeah, yeah, after seeing each other a few more times, we’ll be more casual with each other." Su Xiaocai got out of the car and headed straight for the field, after checking the vegetable fields, she leisurely walked back.

There were many gazes secretly watching her from around.

This feeling was so familiar, like during the aftermath of the rumor incident when she became the focal point.

Until she got to the dormitory building, seeing the deep eyes of a few handsome guys, she finally remembered what she had promised.
