During dinner, Cecilia was still regretting not coming earlier, thinking she might have had a chance to sit at a table next to Nai Shawn.
Erica discouraged her, "Stop dreaming. The people with Senior Brother Shawn look like professionals. They're probably discussing business in a private room."
Sally hesitated for a while before saying, "I heard that there might be some issues with Senior Brother Shawn's company."
"No way!" Cecilia exclaimed.
Vivian and Erica also looked incredulous. To the juniors in the computer science department, Nai Shawn was a god-like figure. How could there be any problems?
"I heard it from David. David has a teammate from the basketball team who graduated and works at Senior Brother Shawn's company. They had dinner the day before yesterday, and after drinking too much, he accidentally let slip that there might be some issues with the investors. It happened just recently."
Cecilia said, "I still don't believe it. It's Nai Shawn!"
Vivian, who was biting into a chicken wing and couldn't speak, nodded vigorously in agreement. Nai Shawn! If someone is very powerful and strong, they are called a bull. Then Nai Shawn is definitely a rhino. A rhino is a rare bull, an extraordinary bull... Could he really have something he can't handle?
However, recalling Nai Shawn's expression under the lights just now, still smiling faintly in front of others, then turning indifferent, Vivian was not so sure.
Erica pondered, "Investors? Is it a funding issue?"
"I don't know," Sally emphasized, "I can't guarantee its credibility, but even if it's false, don't spread it around."
"Mmm, mmm, mmm," Vivian nodded while biting the chicken wing, "I promise not to say anything, I'll digest it along with today's chicken wings."
The world of geniuses was too distant after all. After discussing for a while, the girls quickly moved on to other topics. After dinner, they returned to the dormitory, and Vivian immediately logged into "Dreaming of Jianghu". Strangely, no one was online in her friends list, so Vivian, feeling bored, thought of the couple PK tournament and went to the game forum.
Vivian rarely visited forums before, nor did she study strategies much, because she always felt that the fun of playing games was in exploring. Knowing everything would make it meaningless. However, after marrying Naihe, out of a sense of responsibility to the great god, Vivian often visited the forum to study couple skills and such. She even researched having children for a while, but when she saw that having children required an hour in the bridal chamber, and that the female's skills would weaken after pregnancy, with the possibility of miscarriage if there was too much fighting...
Vivian immediately dismissed the idea of having children.
This game was just too crazy!
After browsing the forum for a while, Vivian didn't see any new news about the PK tournament, but she did see a post by Jason Purewater, which was very popular on the homepage. The topic was "(Video) 'Contest Entry' Our Story—Raindrop Heart Ripple Fragrance."
Vivian knew about the "Our Story" event, which was one of the more popular events recently. The event required players to use the game's recording function to create a love story in "Dreaming of Jianghu", with no length limit, and the rewards were generous. The winners would be chosen by player votes. It was essentially like making a short film using the recording function of "Dreaming of Jianghu", and it wasn't difficult to do, so many players participated.
It seemed Jason Purewater also participated?
Curious, Vivian clicked into the post. Inside was a video and some text. Vivian played the video for a few minutes, and it seemed to be about a hero saving a beauty, followed by the hero pursuing the beauty. The main characters were Little Rain Fairy and Jason Purewater, with members of the Little Rain family also appearing.
After watching for a few more minutes, Vivian started to feel something was off. Why was there a female supporting character named Vivi the Weed?
Moreover, this Vivi the Weed was also a red-clad, sword-wielding heroine, who frequently appeared around Purewater and Little Rain, entangling with Purewater, often making tearful, infatuated gestures, with crude and uncultured language, and a narcissism reminiscent of Sister Furong, contrasting sharply with Little Rain Fairy's occasional poetic elegance.
At the end of the video, Little Rain Fairy appeared in person to say a few words, essentially asking for support. The text below the video was from Purewater, sincerely expressing his feelings for Little Rain Fairy, hoping for votes to support them. He said that although the reward didn't matter, he really wanted to get the unique seven-color couple outfit in the entire server because his wife liked it very much.
The more Vivian watched, the angrier she became. What was this! It's fine to show true feelings, but why drag others out for comic relief? She closed the post and logged into the game, but Jason Purewater was not online. Vivian, full of anger with nowhere to vent, furiously sent a message.
"Is it fun to slander and defame others like this? I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!"
After sending the message, she still felt angry, but being a good kid, Vivian couldn't think of any vicious words to curse, so she went to bed feeling even more frustrated.
The next day, Vivian had classes all day and only logged in at nine in the evening. As soon as she logged in, her friends list was jumping with messages. She opened it to find messages from Jason Purewater.
"OK, I admit defeat. I'll delete the video and reshoot it with Little Rain. But even so, I need to explain that the character Vivi the Weed wasn't created by me or Little Rain. We didn't notice it at first and thought someone was messing around. We didn't associate it with your name. You should have noticed that the character's words had nothing to do with the plot. We only found out after shooting that it was a prank by some friends from Little Rain's family. But since the video was already made, it was too troublesome to redo it. I apologize for this. Now I've also lost a level, which should make us even."
Vivian was stunned and replied, "What do you mean by admitting defeat, and what about losing a level?"
Jason Purewater was online but didn't reply.
Vivian looked at her friends list, and the name of the great god Naihe was shining brightly. Vivian awkwardly messaged, "Great god, did you kill Purewater?"
Naihe: "Come to the foot of Greenhill Mountain, Boss."
Vivian rushed to the foot of Greenhill Mountain, and as soon as George Yu Climber saw her, he shouted, "Sister-in-law, come and finish it off."
Vivian awkwardly dealt a blow to the Boss, which was already on its last sliver of health, and the Boss collapsed, giving Vivian a bunch of experience points.
The Boss dropped a lot of items, and after everyone divided them, Vivian asked Naihe, "Did you kill Jason Purewater?"
Naihe: "Yes."
Uh, Vivian didn't know what to say. It seemed she had troubled the great god again. Although they were a couple, Vivian felt more like she and the great god were in a cooperative relationship, so she should handle her own matters.
Vivian: "Sorry to trouble you >o<"
Naihe: "No trouble, I've wanted to kill him for a long time."
Vivian: "...Why @@"
The great god and Purewater had never met, so why was there a grudge?
Naihe: "He annoys me."
Vivian: "...."
Indeed, a typical great god answer.
George Yu Climber interjected, "Sister-in-law, do you know about the video?"
Vivian: "Yes, you all weren't here yesterday, so I was bored and went to the forum."
Mozar Ta: "We were planning to keep it from you."
Vivian: ">o<"
Vivian: "By the way, how did Jason Purewater lose a level? PK doesn't cause level loss."
PK is considered a friendly match, so even if you lose, you don't lose a level.
Monkey Wine: "It wasn't PK, it was a duel."
