Chapter 7

The moment Yu Wan posted this to her Moments, she quickly received some replies from her friends.


Ningning: Hahaha. A wedding planner’s knowledge is very well-rounded [laugh cry]

Zhao Xin: Is this the reason you play games? doge

Boss: Take a trip to my office.

Yu Wan, “.....”

She put away her phone and rushed to the company. When she arrived at Wei Shao’s office, he had just sent away a client. Yu Wan followed him in and stood across from him. Wei Shao pointed to the chair next to her and said, “Sit.”

Yu Wan didn’t move, “I’ll stand instead.”

Wei Shao let out a laugh and didn’t force her. He went right to the topic, “I saw your post. Miss Hu wants to play video games with you?”

“Yes.” Yu Wan bitterly replied, “She wants to play one on one with us.”

Wei Shao muttered, “Look for a substitute.”

“She said we have to go to her house to pk in person.”

“....” Wei Shao stayed silent. This is indeed Hu Jiao’s style.

“Also, even if we beat her, she will only give priority in looking at our plan. She didn’t say she will definitely use it.”

“Winning the game doesn’t mean she will love your plan. She is giving herself room to maneuver,” Wei Shao thought and continued, “How about this, in the next few days, you can stay home to practice and work on the plans. No need to come to the company to punch cards. Hu Jiao is Director Hu’s daughter. Yu Shimin is the heir of Huanyu Film. Half of the entertainment circle will come and participate in their wedding. Our company mostly plans high-end weddings. There will be many potential clients on-site so Hu Jiao’s wedding is very important to us.”

“I understand.” Hu Jiao knows the importance of this wedding. Wei Shao wants to use it as a stepping stone to get their company’s name out there. For Yu Wan, this is a perfect opportunity to establish herself.

Besides giving Yu Wan some pressure, Wei Shao didn’t forget to give her some sweets, “If you can successfully pull off this wedding, I will promote you to planning director.”

When she heard there’s a chance for promotion, Yu Wan felt Hu Jiao isn’t so frightening after all. A planning director will have their own private office and a company car. Who wouldn’t be tempted by this offer?

Yu Wan spoke with pride, “Don’t worry. I will definitely get Miss Hu!”

Wei Shao smiled, “Then you can go back.”

“Ok.”

“Oh right,” As Yu Wan walked to the door, Wei Shao called out, “I heard Hu Jiao seemed to be ranked in the top ten of the game.”

Yu Wan, “.....”

Thanks to her boss pouring cold water over her in a timely manner, her pride has been extinguished in half.

When she went back to her desk to pick up some stuff, she received the revised plan from Tu Jiajia. Finally, Yu Wan went home carrying a big bag.

The game takes up a lot of storage so it will take a while to download. As she is waiting, Yu Wan went into the kitchen to make food.

When she came back with a large bowl of fried rice, the game was ready. She installed the game and double-clicked on the “Hu” icon on the desktop.

When she entered the game, it broadcasted an animation of the game’s storyline. After Yu Wan finished watching it, the game had her pick a nickname, choose her role and edit her avatar. This is the first time Yu Wan customized an avatar in a game. After playing around for a while, she sent a screenshot of her completed look to Zhou Xiaoning.

Yu Wan: How’s my customized avatar? [Image]

Ningning: Don’t tell me this is the actual face you are gonna use in the game?

Yu Wan: ….[Smile]

She went to do some more fine-tuning and added some baby fat to the face before clicking “done.” Yu Wan entered the game without knowing anything so she would follow everything the system prompts. When she is done with the system’s tutorial, she would stand there blankly and watch the people around her running around.

She then remembered the NPC Li Shen is voicing and decided to find it. The game has a restaurant system where you can click on an NPC and send him a gift. When the NPC’s good level accumulates to a certain height, you can unlock its voice.

The icon of the restaurant is black. When she clicked on it, it reminded her that she needs to reach level 30 to unlock this feature.

Since this is the case, she will have to level up.
 

In the beginning, leveling up was really fast but when she reached level 20, the speed began to slow down. Yu Wan bought an experience pack but even after using it, she still didn’t reach level 30. In the end, she could only continue doing the tasks.

After she finished a task on the street, a red-garbed woman and a gray-garbed man came out of nowhere and started killing her. Before Yu Wan could react, her screen started to grey out with the game prompting her to resurrect.

Yu Wan had no idea what was going on. After she was resurrected, the two people rushed over and killed her again.

Yu Wan, “.....”

What’s with these two sickos?

On the screen, the two people continued to circle around her as if waiting for her to resurrect again so they can kill her. This time, after Yu Wan resurrected again, she turned and ran away. The two didn’t continue to chase her. Just as Yu Wan breathed a sigh of relief, a middle-aged woman ran in front of her and screamed “ouch.”

A system prompt appeared on the screen saying she had wronged the woman and whether she wants to give her money.

Yu Wan, “.....”

Not only does this game have crazy players but the NPCs can even defraud people???

Playing such a game, no wonder Hu Jiao’s character is a little distorted.

The morally righteous Yu Wan clicked no. She didn’t expect the originally weak and delicate woman would suddenly attack her. Yu Wan’s operations are still not up to par. Accurately speaking, it is very poor. Fortunately, with her limited skills, she was able to send some attacks to the woman. The woman’s firepower isn’t strong but her blood supply is high. Yu Wan fought with her for five minutes and found that her blood supply is only halved. So, she jumped out of the battle circle and ran again.

The middle-aged woman chased her for a short time and stopped. Yu Wan cautiously took two steps and the woman started acting up again. Frightened, Yu Wan started running again.

When she no longer see the woman again, Yu Wan finally released a breath.

She doesn’t want to play this simulation game anymore.

Yu Wan exited the game and turned off the computer. She looked out at the dark night sky outside and went to the kitchen to make a bowl of noodles. With her progress today, don’t even mention beating Hu Jiao, she already considered herself victorious for not getting dizzy from all the running.

Yu Wan felt she can’t keep going like this. She is a newbie and had never played any other games before. It would be better to have someone guide her. She asked Zhao Xin and Zhou Xiaoning but both were also busy working and had little time to play games.

In the end, she still has to rely on herself.

Yu Wan finished her noodles and didn’t jump back into the game. She decided to go downstairs and take a stroll to adjust her mood.

At this time, Li Shen is running laps around his neighborhood.

His habit of running developed during his two years as a soldier. When he first joined the army, Li Shen’s biggest nightmare is running. Although he played sports while he was in school and his physical strength is not bad, long-distance running in the army is arduous. Also, the run is timed. If you don’t finish running within the specified time, five kilometers will change to ten kilometers.

Every day they had to run five kilometers. Just like meals, it can’t be skipped. Sometimes they would even have to run ten kilometers. Li Shen felt running ten kilometers is easier than five. Although the distance doubled, there is no time limit.

In addition to running, they also have to do push-ups for their drill exercises. The squad leader likes to give each of them a newspaper to put under their body. They don’t count how many push-ups they do. Instead, the one whose sweat drenched the paper first can stop. Li Shen felt this is too unscientific. Some people sweat easily. Isn’t it too advantageous for them? He mentioned this to the squad leader and was ordered to run five kilometers.

Later, his strict squad leader had them do their army crawl on the cement floor. Their shirts and pants were worn out and at the end of the drill, their arms and knees were bloodied over.

At that time, it was very miserable. Looking back now, he didn’t know how he persisted. Maybe it’s because he would tire himself every day so he no longer has the time and energy to think about Yu Wan.

However, this only lasted until the end of recruit training. After a few months of high-intensity training, Li Shen gradually adapted to the usual training. When he has become accustomed to this, all the thoughts and pain that he previously neglected were revived back to ten times its power.

Army life can be lonely, so during this time, Li Shen would like to hold Yu Wan’s favorite cigarette in his mouth.

Of course, smoking is prohibited in the army. When he told his squad leader he “isn’t going to smoke, just hold it in his mouth,” the squad leader wouldn’t be like Chi Lu and say “it is no different to me.” Instead, he would directly give him a beating.

Li Shen would use his entire intelligence to hide the cigarettes at all costs. His comrades would tease that when he hides money after marriage, even his wife will never find it.

They love to talk about the topic of marriage. Li Shen is also quite handsome so everyone is naturally curious about his personal life. Since he has a hobby of using women’s cigarettes, it shows that he simply has a story to tell.

However, Li Shen never said anything. Whenever this topic comes up, he would smile and left it at that.

After he was discharged, he took off his uniform and picked up the guitar. Life seemed to return to its original track. Most of the training he did in the army, he no longer did it. Only the habit of running remained unchanged.

If he doesn’t run ten kilometers a day, he will feel uncomfortable.

Li Shen likes running around the neighborhood. The environment here is good and no one will disturb him which is much needed now that he is a public figure. But for the sake of safety, he still chose to run at night where there are fewer people out. Sometimes when he runs a few laps, he didn’t see anyone.

But today, it seems he is not so lucky. Li Shen just turned a corner and saw a woman sitting on a bench under the streetlight. She is also wearing active gear. She looks to be sitting there resting after exercising.

When Li Shen saw someone sitting there, he wanted to turn around and go back. Besides, he already ran quite a bit today. But his steps faltered and his eyes changed.

He saw the face under the streetlight. It is Yu Wan.
