Chapter 76: The Game of Female Competition
evening.
A taxi drove from Hehuan Film and Television to Beijing Film Academy.
Zhang Xiaofei sat in the passenger seat.
She glanced back at the back row.
Yang Mi squeezed between Zhang Xuan and Yuan Shanshan, hugging her knees, and grinning foolishly at the sunset outside the car window.
"Mimi," Zhang Xiaofei couldn't help but ask, "Where did you go all afternoon? Shanshan and the others were washing the floor until their backs ached, and I was wiping tables on the second and third floors. We didn't see you at all."
Yang Mi snapped out of her daze and stopped smiling.
But the corners of her mouth couldn't be suppressed at all.
"Nothing much. I just helped Director Wei with a dungeon run."
Zhang Xiaofei doesn't understand anything about dungeons or not.
But she could tell from Yang Mi's expression.
Yang Mi is absolutely overjoyed right now.
"What exactly did you do today?"
Zhang Xuan rubbed her wrist, staring at Yang Mi, "We've been cleaning the floor until our hands are practically falling off, where were you?"
"Didn't I just say? I'm helping Director Wei with the dungeon on the fifth floor."
"Playing dungeons? You mean that World of Warcraft?" Zhang Xiaofei was stunned.
"You mean help him with dungeons?" Zhang Xuan was also stunned.
"So you don't have to work today because you play games?!" Yuan Shanshan's eyes widened.
Yang Mi spoke in a deliberately indifferent tone.
But its tail was practically pointing skyward.
"He said my healing was more consistent than their guild's main healer. When someone in the raid asked who I was, he joked, 'I mean...'"
She paused for a moment.
Say "my girlfriend".
After saying that, she covered her face.
She looked both shy and happy.
Of course.
Wei Yi didn't actually say that at the time.
He said "from my company".
But who is Yang Mi?
How could she not know what the other three people in her dorm were thinking?
She understood it perfectly well.
So just now she deliberately tampered with the "divine will," because she believed that the three of them would not go to Wei Yi to verify it!
Her words indeed silenced the car for several seconds.
Zhang Xuan was the first to react.
She stared at Yang Mi for a long time.
"so……"
"Mimi, you...you succeeded? Right under Senior Sister Mu's nose? We...we're going to call you Boss Lady from now on?"
His tone and expression were both utterly shocked.
Like the other two, he was extremely shocked.
Yang Mi knew when to stop, and shook her head with a smile, "No, he was just joking with his friends in the game. I could tell, and Senior Sister Mu was right next to him at the time."
These words brought a sigh of relief to the other three.
That really proves it.
She feared her sisters would suffer, and she also feared they would be taken advantage of by Wei Yi.
There was silence in the car for a few more seconds.
Suddenly, Zhang Xuan spoke:
"So... around Chinese New Year, you suddenly started playing that horribly ugly game."
"Those green-skinned, fanged, hunchbacked, barefoot, and shockingly ugly characters."
"You've been practicing for months. Staying up all night every day reading guides."
"Is that all?"
Yang Mi did not deny it.
Just laugh.
That laugh silenced the other three people once again.
Zhang Xiaofei's mind was in turmoil.
She remembered.
Before the Lunar New Year, Yang Mi suddenly downloaded World of Warcraft in her dormitory.
She even leaned over to take a look.
On the screen was a green troll, hunched over with fangs sticking out from his lower lip and bare feet.
She asked, "Why are all the people in this game so ugly?"
Yang Mi didn't even turn her head: "It doesn't matter if I'm ugly. As long as I'm useful."
Now she understands.
What does "useful" mean?
Yuan Shanshan huddled in the back corner, her voice soft and sweet: "Sister Mi... you're so amazing. And so... cunning."
Yang Mi tilted her head to look at her.
"That's not called cunning. That's called strategy."
"We're still cleaning the floor," Zhang Xuan said quietly, "but you're already sitting in the boss's chair."
"That's because I practiced for four months."
Yang Mi's tone suddenly turned serious, her previous smugness gone. "Do you know how many nights I've stayed up? Do you know I almost failed my course trying to memorize the BOSS's timeline?"
She looked out the window.
"I don't have Mu Tingting's luck, nor do I rely on luck. So I can only work harder!"
No one responded.
Zhang Xiaofei asked softly, "So... was it worth it?"
Yang Mi did not answer.
But the smile on her face already answered.
crossroads.
Yang Mi got off the bus early. She was going home tonight.
She had made a promise with Wei Yi that she would continue to log on to support him tonight. Even if it meant staying up all night, she was determined to finish this project.
Although the Beijing Film Academy doesn't have a curfew and the power is on all night, the school's network and her laptop's performance were ultimately not very smooth.
She wanted to maximize her milk production, to let Wei Yi drink her big breasts—no, she wanted to become the number one wet nurse in Wei Yi's group.
Of course, it's still better to use your home computer at home, where you can unleash its full potential.
The remaining three continued towards the Beijing Film Academy.
late at night.
The girls' dormitory at Beijing Film Academy.
The lights are off.
Yuan Shanshan peeked out from the upper bunk, her voice drifting down into the darkness.
"Xiaofei, Axuan, do you think it's too late for us to start learning now?"
There was a long silence.
Zhang Xiaofei sighed.
"Let's not even talk about whether we can learn it. Mimi has already been four months ahead. If we start practicing now, it will be too obvious. Besides..."
She paused for a moment.
Even if I really mastered it, I'd only ever be a substitute at best.
Yuan Shanshan shrank back under the covers and muttered, "Honey...you're really cruel."
Ruthless in every sense of the word.
Neither of the other two responded.
Zhang Xuan rolled over in bed and stared at the ceiling.
She remembered.
Before the Lunar New Year, Yang Mi was unpacking a package in her dorm room. One of the packages was a strategy guidebook with a monster on the cover that she didn't recognize.
She glanced at it and said, "You've even bought a strategy guide. Mimi, are you trying to become a professional gamer?"
Yang Mi didn't even look up: "Bullshit, I only played it because it might be useful."
What's the point of playing games?
"Maybe it'll come in handy someday?"
At the time, she thought Yang Mi was joking.
Now she realizes she isn't.
Zhang Xiaofei didn't sleep either.
She lay in bed, recalling all of Yang Mi's unusual behavior over the past few months.
They planned to go shopping on the weekend, but Yang Mi said she wanted to go to an internet cafe instead.
She thought she was just going online.
Yang Mi does indeed love surfing the internet, and she often drags them to internet cafes. So no one has ever suspected anything.
Just this once.
It turns out that every step was planned.
She suddenly felt a little sorry for Yang Mi.
I also feel a little envious of her.
It's also a bit...
afraid.
"So what do we do now?"
Yuan Shanshan's voice drifted down again, "Still washing the floor?"
"Cleaning is also an opportunity."
Zhang Xuan spoke from the darkness, her tone unusually calm, "Do you think whitewashing is just whitewashing?"
"Otherwise what?"
"When we were covering up for Hehuan Film and Television, we could see who came, who left, how many groups of people the boss met that day, and how long each group talked. This is all information, and it's all useful!"
Zhang Xiaofei turned her head away: "...You were thinking about this while you were cleaning the floor?"
"Otherwise what?"
Zhang Xuan countered with a question.
"Do you really want to be cleaning ladies?"
The dormitory fell completely silent.
Yuan Shanshan realized for the first time that she might be the most innocent one in the dormitory.
wrong.
She glanced at Zhang Xiaofei.
It might be second to last.
