After the Nerd Marked the Top Omega - Chapter 27.2

The two chatted briefly again before Fang Xu hung up the phone.

Seeing this, Pei Yunci spoke for the first time since entering the door: “Are you done talking?”

Fang Xu nodded: “Sorry for making you wait.”

“It’s fine,” Pei Yunci didn’t dwell on the matter. She picked up the two pieces of paper on the table and asked, “Is this content from the game design?”

The papers were right in front of her; it was hard to pretend not to see them. But these looked more like realistic portraits and had nothing in common with the characters in the game.

“No.” When this was mentioned, Fang Xu’s expression also became serious.

She recounted everything she had heard and seen, and then said: “Should we have someone investigate what’s going on?”

Hearing this, Pei Yunci lowered her eyes and looked again at the two sneaky people on the paper: “I’ll make a call.”

She walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, sent the sketches and the time and location to her assistant, and added: “Check the identities of these two people, and also contact the people abroad to see who Weizhou is in contact with.”

Inevitably, these two were just hired thugs trying to find out her whereabouts. The person behind them had other motives.

After speaking, Pei Yunci called the security office and asked them to send the surveillance footage.

Seeing that she had finished the call, Fang Xu didn’t ask much, only saying with concern: “Please be more careful about your safety later.”

She had read the information online and knew that people from families like Pei Yunci’s were always more complicated than ordinary people.

Pei Yunci nodded, then looked into the girl’s eyes: “What are you thinking?”

She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she seemed to see worry in the other person’s eyes.

Fang Xu was a little confused. After a moment of reaction, she tentatively said: “I was thinking, maybe you could bring a bodyguard when you go out in the future to be safer?”

The girl’s look of concern, as if facing a formidable enemy, improved Pei Yunci’s mood: “The driver knows martial arts. No need to worry.”

Hearing this, Fang Xu felt a little relieved: “That’s good.”

Pei Yunci hummed and asked, “Have you had dinner?”

“I’ve eaten.”

“Have you gargled?” Pei Yunci asked again.

Fang Xu nodded, her face slightly flushed.

Pei Yunci enjoyed the sight of the girl about to be ‘baked’ for a while, then said: “I haven’t eaten yet. Could you wait a moment?”

For some reason, hearing this, Fang Xu’s face became even hotter.

She touched it with her slightly cool fingers to lower her temperature, and seeing the person enter the kitchen, she asked: “Do you need me to help you make something?”

“No need.”

Pei Yunci had said she wanted to hire someone to cook, but it was just a joke: “I’ll do it myself.”

She only sought simple convenience in cooking. In less than five minutes, toasted bread was already on the dining table.

After eating, Pei Yunci saw the girl’s computer screen, which was filled with code.

“Editing the game?” She sat down next to her.

Their distance was shortened, and the faint fragrance on Pei Yunci also drifted to Fang Xu’s spot.

It was different from the scent of pheromones, like a perfume, very light, but very pleasant.

Fang Xu’s breathing slowed a little and she replied: “Yes, there are some errors in the game.”

“I see, the revenue value for skewers was set incorrectly.”

Fang Xu hummed: “Also, the user ID on the main page isn’t fully displayed.”

After speaking, she realized: How could Pei Yunci be so familiar with the game?

After thinking about it, there could only be one possibility: “Yunci, have you played Managing a Snack Stall?”

Pei Yunci looked at the girl’s slightly surprised expression and chuckled: “Can’t I play it?”

Fang Xu immediately shook her head: “You can.”

She just felt that her small game and Pei Yunci seemed always a bit incongruous together.

She didn’t say the sentence out loud, but Pei Yunci could guess it. She didn’t explain much, just said: “But I’m stuck now.”

Fang Xu couldn’t quite figure it out and tentatively asked: “Where are you stuck?”

“Here.” Pei Yunci opened her game page. “I haven’t been able to pass it for two days.”

She had intended to pay-to-win to solve it, as she had done before when dealing with games for projects.

But unfortunately, Managing a Snack Stall was a free game with no channels for charging, so the game could only be stuck here.

Fang Xu looked at her level and operating revenue and knew where the problem was: “You can give the princess food to increase her favorability. She will become your helper. Wait for a lucky day, and this task will be completed.”

There were discussions about this in the community, but Pei Yunci probably didn’t follow them, so she wouldn’t know how to pass the level.

“The princess?” Pei Yunci thought back and finally remembered the character.

She clicked on the game character’s profile and saw the princess’s fullness value: 0

“…”

Fang Xu saw it too, thinking this must be the ‘career-focused’ type that netizens mentioned.

Pei Yunci casually started feeding the princess. The waiting customers in the game were also chatting. Her chosen location was near an office building, so most of the talk was about office matters.

[Capitalists! They clearly promised benefits, but now they’re telling me it’s team-building on the weekend! Why are they taking up my precious weekend time!! [Tearful] [Tearful]]

[Got paid today. Coming to eat my favorite skewers [Happy] [Happy]]

[The boss speaks so politely, like someone who transmigrated from ancient times. Whose ancient-style woman is this [Confused] [Confused]]

[…]

The game NPCs not only complained about their bosses and leaders but also automatically drew stories from the submission area. The screen was particularly lively with people coming and going.

Fang Xu glanced at the ‘boss’ beside her, feeling incredibly guilty.

Pei Yunci didn’t overthink it and asked again: “The game level-up has a real-time restriction. Is that also to prevent players from leveling up too quickly?”

The game developer was right here, so she could ask any questions she had.

Fang Xu nodded: “I didn’t create that much content. If players level up too quickly, there will be nothing left to play later.”

In fact, when the game was first released, there was no real-time restriction. But as the number of players increased, she added it temporarily.

Pei Yunci nodded. From a game development perspective, the girl was quite clever.

She then asked, “How long does it take to get the self-cleaning dining table feature?”

With the cleaning feature, a lot of time could be saved, and revenue could at least double. However, in the exchange store, this kind of dining table was extremely expensive and was currently locked, making it impossible to redeem.

Fang Xu blinked, a little guiltily: “Probably above level sixty.”

Pei Yunci looked at her current level: Nineteen.

“…”

Fang Xu cleared her throat and said, “If you really want it, you can give me your account ID.”

Managing a Snack Stall does not have a multiplayer function, and the progress of each account is independent. As the creator, she could still modify the data of certain accounts.

Pei Yunci rested her chin on her palm, tilted her head slightly, and looked at the person beside her, her tone laced with a light chuckle: “You’re helping me cheat?”

“It’s not cheating, it’s thanks. Thank you for helping me with the drawing.”

Fang Xu told her: “Other players really like the drawings you did. They’re all praising how cute they are.”

As of today, the number of players for Managing a Snack Stall has reached thirty thousand, which was beyond her expectations. Fang Xu briefly skimmed over the compliments about the game production but liked every comment praising the protagonist’s art style.

Pei Yunci: “I just helped modify it a bit, but should I save this thank you for now?”

Who knows when she might want the game’s creator to give her a little benefit.

Fang Xu nodded: “Okay!”

“Then, shall we proceed with the mark?”

This question was too sudden, and Fang Xu didn’t even react before the word “Okay” slipped out.

As the word fell, Pei Yunci chuckled lightly: “Will you agree to everything I say?”

The girl had excellent academic performance and received consistent praise during her internship. Why was she so clumsy in front of her?

Fang Xu sat still, her body a little tense. After a moment, she said: “Not necessarily.”

“For example?” Pei Yunci asked with interest.

Fang Xu: “…”

She hadn’t thought of one yet.

After all, they had known each other for nearly half a year, and Pei Yunci had never made things difficult for her.

So, for the first time, Fang Xu awkwardly changed the subject, her long eyelashes fluttering: “Let’s do the mark first.”

Pei Yunci felt that if she asked any more questions, the person in front of her might turn completely red. Her lips curved slightly, and she let the girl off the hook: “Alright. The living room or the master bedroom?”

Fang Xu thought for a moment and said: “The master bedroom.”

The last mark was in the living room. When marking the other person, the Alpha’s possessiveness made her feel spacious and insecure, so she bit down hard. Compared to that, the bedroom was more suitable.

“Okay.” Pei Yunci was willing to listen to the Alpha’s opinion on this matter.

The air conditioner in the room diligently blew cool air, but it still couldn’t disperse the heat between the two of them, or the overly rapid breathing.

“Are you okay?”

“Let me catch my breath.”

“Okay…”

“…”

When the mark was finished, Pei Yunci rested for a moment. Once she felt okay, she got out of the embrace.

Only when her feet touched the ground did she realize her legs felt a little weak, and her balance was somewhat uncontrollable.

“Be careful!”

Fang Xu quickly held her, but she also lost her point of support and fell backward.

She was caught by the soft bed, and Pei Yunci was caught by her, held in her arms. Their eyes met, so close that a slight movement would lead to a kiss.

Fang Xu’s heart pounded as if it would jump out of her chest. After a moment, she slightly turned her head: “I’m sorry.”

As the words fell, a “crack” sounded in her ear.

They both looked over.

Pei Yunci said: “Your glasses.”

During the marking, Fang Xu had casually taken off her glasses and placed them nearby. The distance was safe enough, but accidents happen.

Pei Yunci picked up the glasses, examined them carefully, and said: “The lenses aren’t broken, but the frame and temples are.”

She had indeed thought about getting the Alpha to change her glasses, but she hadn’t intended to deliberately break them.

Fang Xu’s vision was a bit blurry. She subconsciously narrowed her eyes: “I’ll try to fix it.”

“What’s your prescription?” Pei Yunci handed her the glasses.

“Around seven hundred degrees.” Fang Xu replied, trying to bend the frame back into position, but it was a bit difficult.

Pei Yunci could see that and said: “I’ll go out and buy a new pair with you. It is partly my fault, after all.”

Fang Xu shook her head: “It’s fine.”

Pei Yunci disliked being refused in such matters. She handed over the inhibitor spray: “Let’s go. You can’t wear your glasses now. Can you go back to school like this?”

No.

With the facts in front of her, Fang Xu blinked and still stood up with her.

With their pheromones covered, the two left the bedroom.

As they neared the apartment door, the person beside her stopped.

Fang Xu looked over. Because she was a little nearsighted, Pei Yunci’s face was somewhat blurry, as if a soft filter had been applied.

Before she could speak, she heard the other person ask.

“Xiao Xu, want to hold hands?”
