After the Nerd Marked the Top Omega - Chapter 29.1

Fang Xu’s guess was correct. After Guangwen Games contacted her, other game companies followed suit, with the highest offer reaching 150,000 yuan.

Among them was a rather special person named Shen Feihuai, also a student at Jiangcheng University, a senior in the Chemistry Department. After seeing “Operating a Snack Stall” on the forum, he contacted her through the game’s in-game email, asking if Fang Xu would like to bring her game and join the studio he was creating.

Fang Xu hadn’t heard the name before, so she asked for more details.

【Fang Xu: How many people are in the studio right now?】

【Shen Feihuai: Two, me and another classmate.】

Fang Xu: “…”

She sensed the unreliability of the other party and had no intention of continuing the conversation.

The other party seemed to have guessed her thoughts and quickly sent two more messages.

【Shen Feihuai: Both of us have built our own games, you can check them directly on the game platform. The number of players has already exceeded 200,000.】

【Shen Feihuai: Also, we have already selected the studio location and paid for it in full.】

Fang Xu clicked on the location. It wasn’t in the city center, but it was a decent location for a small studio. However, she didn’t have time to consider such a complex matter for now.

【Fang Xu: I’m sorry, I might need more time to consider and can’t reply right now.】

【Shen Feihuai: It’s okay. I’ve also been busy with my graduation project recently. If you want to come now, you probably won’t have much to do.】

Her gaze lingered on that sentence. Fang Xu felt the other party was even more unreliable and turned off her screen.

“Operating a Snack Stall” gradually became popular, and the code name “fx” appeared more frequently on the Jiangcheng University forum.

[Our university really has many talented people. Is this the strength of the Computer Science Department’s top student? The ultimate expert?]

[You need to add a modifier: the top student for three consecutive years. If nothing goes wrong, the top student for the senior year will also be her.]

[Why is the gap between people so big? Never mind, it’s noon, I’m going to feed the princess.]

[It seems I’m not the only one dating in the management game. Tsundere princess, I’m coming too!]

Tang Xingxing occasionally forwarded these posts to Fang Xu. “Xuxu, you’re quite popular in school now.”

Fang Xu chuckled, “They just think the game is fun.”

As for her, she was just mentioned in passing.

“That’s not necessarily true,” Tang Xingxing stared at her for a moment and said mysteriously, “This master predicts that your luck in love will be very strong in the next two months.”

Having changed her glasses, Fang Xu looked like a different person.

Everyone judges by appearance, and with her impressive academic record, it was impossible for her luck in love not to be strong.

“…Thank you, Master Tang, but I don’t think I need it.”

Tang Xingxing pulled a chair and sat next to her, “Why wouldn’t you need it!”

Fang Xu told the truth, “I have to participate in a competition in the next few months, so I don’t have time to date right now.”

Not to mention, during the agreement period, she had already promised Pei Yunci not to establish an intimate relationship with any other Omega.

Luck in love wouldn’t make her happy; on the contrary, it would trouble her.

“Oh, I see,” Tang Xingxing nodded. “I thought…”

“Thought what?”

“Thought you still hadn’t forgotten Song Shu.”

When she said this, Tang Xingxing’s voice was low, yet it carried a hint of probing.

If her good friend was heartbroken and decided to close off her heart, that would be a big problem.

“What are you thinking?” Fang Xu was already able to treat the matter calmly. “We broke up a long time ago.”

“You’re right, you’re right, why think about it after breaking up,” Tang Xingxing didn’t dwell on it. “Then I wish you can meet the right person after you finish your competition!”

Her friend meant well, and Fang Xu didn’t object. She didn’t want the topic to focus on herself, so she asked, “What about you?”

“Huh?” Tang Xingxing didn’t react. “What?”

Fang Xu: “Has the Master found a girlfriend yet? Are you waiting for a heaven-sent love?”

“…”

Tang Xingxing was silent for a moment, then coughed and said, “For us gamers, romance isn’t important. The wives in the game are what matter.”

Speaking of this, she asked again, “Xuxu, can you romance the princess in ‘Operating a Snack Stall’? I really like the princess’s personality, and there are many players who feel the same way.”

Fang Xu’s original script didn’t include this, and she hadn’t considered it before, so she could only vaguely say, “Perhaps.”

“?” Tang Xingxing noticed something and looked at her earnestly, “Xuxu, if it’s not possible now, you can add it later.”

She had secretly cursed countless game planners, and now that one of them was right in front of her, she had to fight for her own interests.

Fang Xu: “I’ll try my best, but it still depends on the specific script.”

The script is related to the game levels, and sometimes it needs to be constantly changed for the sake of level progress.

“Good, good,” Tang Xingxing was already satisfied with this response. “Xuxu, I will always support you, and I will always support the princess!”

Fang Xu curved her lips, thinking that the latter sentence was the key point.

After chatting, she went to the balcony to make a video call to her sister.

“Sister!”

Yi Yi answered, and her gaze suddenly fixed. “You changed your glasses!”

“A few days ago,” Fang Xu said. “My previous pair was accidentally crushed.”

Yi Yi leaned close to the screen and looked for a while. “I think these glasses look better.”

“Your sister Xingxing said the same thing,” Fang Xu replied, and then asked, “How is the new class?”

Yi Yi said, “The Math and English teachers haven’t changed, but all the other teachers have. However, they all teach very well.”

“Can you adapt?”

“Yes!” Yi Yi didn’t forget to say, “One of my friends is also in this class, and there are several other familiar faces.”

“That’s good.” Fang Xu said to the child, “In the second and third years of high school, the school will require more supplementary books. I’ll order them for you directly in the parent group.”

Yi Yi didn’t speak. Her eyes looked everywhere but the screen, clearly disagreeing with Fang Xu’s approach.

“Yi Yi,” Fang Xu called out.

The child didn’t answer.

Fang Xu waited for a while and then said, “Then I’m hanging up.”

“Wait!”

Yi Yi couldn’t hold back and said somewhat unfairly, “Sister, we haven’t talked for three minutes yet.”

Fang Xu asked, “Still don’t want to order those supplementary books?”

When facing problems, she still preferred to communicate with the child.

“I just feel that some are unnecessary and a waste of money,” Yi Yi’s voice softened. “Many of the supplementary books have similar content, and I’ve seen all the types of questions. Also, some supplementary books, the teacher only makes us buy, but we never use them.”

Fang Xu: “It’s better to have them than not.”

Yi Yi looked at her, “Sister, I know what you are worried about. No one will have any other opinion. I’m the top student in my grade.”

She had an outgoing personality, and the class atmosphere was decent. If she bought two fewer supplementary books, no one would discriminate or look down on her.

“Besides, if someone does think that way, they are the one who is wrong. Why should I care? When you were in high school, you didn’t buy many supplementary books, yet you were still the role model the teacher often mentioned.”

Fang Xu was silent for a moment, then chuckled softly, “You think about so many things usually?”

Even though she spent less time raising the child, the child still grew up to be strong and sensible enough.

“Not really,” Yi Yi, after saying those serious words, felt a bit embarrassed and acted spoiled. “I only think about it occasionally. The rest of the time, I spend thinking about you, Sister.”

Fang Xu smiled lightly, “Then I’ll listen to you. We’ll buy the necessary supplementary books and temporarily not order the unnecessary ones.”

“Okay!” Yi Yi was extremely happy after achieving her goal and shared some more interesting things about the school.

This included, but was not limited to, the dean of students’ hair thinning more over the summer, the school’s upcoming autumn sports meeting, and the school replacing the broadcast exercises with popular dances from the internet during the break.

Afterward, Yi Yi didn’t even stop to drink water and asked, “Sister, have you seen Sister Pei recently?”

“Yes,” Fang Xu’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. “Why are you asking about that all of a sudden?”

Yi Yi said, “Sister Pei, like you, doesn’t like to post on Moments, and I feel bad disturbing her, so I can only ask you.”

This was half-true. She had a sharp intuition. First, there was the scent of Pei Yunci’s pheromones she smelled at the hotel, and then her sister’s changed glasses. Thinking of their familiar interaction before, Yi Yi felt their relationship was quite unusual.

Even if they weren’t together, they should have some other relationship, or they were in the ambiguous stage.

It was a pity that she wasn’t living with her sister now; otherwise, she could definitely figure out the situation more thoroughly within a week.

“She’s quite busy,” Fang Xu said. “Next time there’s a chance, I’ll let Sister Pei chat with you.”

Of course, the probability of this “chance” happening was very small.

Yi Yi found it even stranger. They were definitely not ordinary friends; otherwise, why would she always be busy, as if she was avoiding her?

But she didn’t ask further until she said, “Okay, I’ll ask Sister Pei to visit our home again when there’s a chance!”

Fang Xu dismissed the “luck in love” that Tang Xingxing mentioned as a joke, but she didn’t expect the prediction to be so accurate.

After finishing her internship, she was still thinking about the competition and wanted to discuss it further with her senior when a person walked straight up to her, nearly bumping into her.

She quickly stopped her steps and apologized, “I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay,” the unfamiliar girl on the opposite side waved her hand.

Hearing this, Fang Xu also nodded slightly, turned around, and prepared to return to the dorm. Unexpectedly, the unfamiliar girl also moved, stopping in front of her again.

This time, she realized that the incident just now was not an accident.

Fang Xu looked at the person in front of her. She didn’t recognize her and probably hadn’t met her before. “Is there something I can help you with?”

“I…” The girl seemed a bit hesitant when speaking, and her face was slightly red. She said, “I’m a sophomore in the Computer Science Department. I’ve been a volunteer on the side during department activities before, and I’ve seen you a few times, Senior.”

She was a volunteer at the department’s professional conference not long ago and saw Fang Xu. She was instantly impressed and found out her name by asking around. She also learned that she was the creator of the game “Operating a Snack Stall,” so she started thinking about getting to know her.

After listening, Fang Xu was still a little confused but didn’t let the conversation drop. “That’s good.”

“I also feel that I have a connection with you, Senior,” the girl smiled and asked, “Senior, can I have your contact information? If you have time, we can have a meal together or go out.”

Fang Xu felt something was off and asked one more question, “Are you a student in Professor Liu’s group?”

After hearing the other party’s introduction, she had assumed she was a new student in the supervisor’s group. But based on the conversation so far, it seemed different from her guess.

“No, no,” the girl didn’t expect her to misunderstand, and her face became even redder. “I just wanted to get to know you, Senior.”

If their personalities were compatible, they could develop the relationship further.

Even slow-witted Fang Xu understood the situation now.

She quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, I misunderstood. I won’t be adding any contact information.”

Having never experienced such a situation, Fang Xu didn’t know what to say and could only offer a clumsy refusal.

A hint of disappointment flashed across the girl’s face, but she still didn’t want to give up, as she genuinely liked this reserved and academic Senior. “Senior, do you already have a girlfriend? If not, we can also try to be friends first?”

Fang Xu still said, “I apologize.”

She now understood the other party’s intention and naturally couldn’t be friends anymore, nor would she explain.

The girl’s disappointment was undeniable. “I understand. Thank you, Senior.”

With that, she quickly turned and ran away.

Fang Xu only watched for a moment before looking away.

She didn’t expect to see Pei Yunci, who shouldn’t have been at Jiangcheng University, when she turned around.
