Impossible to Guard Against!

Shen Miaomiao: ???

Wait!!!

No!!!

Huh?!!

What was going on?

Why had it happened again?!

She had clearly camped out all night yesterday. A Yin shouldn't have even known this game existed!

So how had he suddenly stumbled across it today?

For a moment, alarm bells blared in Shen Miaomiao's head!

Oh, come on, no way, no way!

Could it really be that the game he was streaming was our company's game?

...Damn it, of course it was!

After all, besides Gu Sheng, what mentally sound designer would give their game such an absurd name?!

At that thought, Shen Miaomiao could no longer sit still.

"Um... ahem, let's end today's meeting here. Meeting adjourned!"

With that, she stood up and bolted out of the conference room like Gazi sneaking off with a dog.

Leaving behind a bewildered Chu Qingzhou and the three brothers, staring at one another.

"Uh..."

Gu Sheng had never seen anything like this either, and looked at Chu Qingzhou questioningly.

"Secretary Chu, should we—?"

"We should... adjourn, then..."

Chu Qingzhou shrugged.

She had no idea what craziness this little miss had gotten into again, so she could only helplessly declare the meeting over.

The people in the conference room were baffled, and even a little amused.

Little did they know that Shen Miaomiao was so nervous she was practically about to pass out!

"Please don't let it be our game..."

"Please don't let it be our game..."

"Spirits of heaven and earth, I'm willing to trade Gu Sheng's lifetime of being single for this game to lose money..."

On her way back to the office, Shen Miaomiao kept muttering to herself, making one last desperate struggle.

It was not until she returned to the CEO's office and opened the stream!

That Shen Miaomiao finally gave up the ghost.

She was completely screwed.

Gu Sheng probably would not be single for the rest of his life after all.

Because on A Yin's stream was none other than that stupid game Gu Sheng had designed!

A Yin adjusted his camera, then greeted his viewers with a cheerful smile.

"Hello, hello! We're live. Thanks for all the glow sticks, everyone. Renew those fan badges!"

"Today, I'm streaming a new game, a new release from the company that made Mario Bros."

"Last night, I was scrolling through Douyin and saw Brother Qie's recorded gameplay edit. It looked pretty interesting, so I specifically invited Brother Shu over to play with me today..."

A Yin's words naturally sparked a wave of agreement in the chat—

'Hahahaha, Boss saw Brother Qie's video too.'

'Brother Qie's video already has over a hundred thousand likes.'

'Gotta admit, the entertainment value was absolutely insane.'

'I was just about to suggest Boss find someone to play with today.'

'I was there yesterday. I almost died laughing.'

'Mainly because Golden Wind is just absurd as a company.'

'I noticed it too. This company's games are all about artistic expression.'

'Looking forward to Boss showing us what he's got.'

'I'm sending a little airplane gift right away!'

'Boss, you fool...'

Listening to A Yin and reading the chat messages one after another.

Shen Miaomiao felt her head buzzing!

Liu Peiqie?

Hadn't Liu Peiqie died blowing up Mars?

Oh, wait, that was Liu Peiqiang.

So who was this guy?!

Thinking that!

Shen Miaomiao searched online for information about the streamer.

"Liu Peiqie, real name Wu Qingquan, signed streamer with CrossFire, annual champion of Shark's FPS category..."

As she read the online information, Shen Miaomiao's face grew redder and redder!

Then she slammed the desk hard!

Bang!

Damn it—!!!

It was not that this game had no streamer promotion!!!

It was that I camped the wrong person!!!

Shen Miaomiao felt like she was about to have a heart attack!

"Argh—this is really going to drive me insane!!!"

Shen Miaomiao was truly panicking, to the point that her hometown dialect slipped out.

"You're a damn shooting-game streamer! Why aren't you playing shooting games? Why the hell are you streaming this stupid game instead?!"

"What's even fun about this twisted-ass game?!"

"Gu Sheng, pay me back my money..."

Shen Miaomiao was really about to collapse.

By the end of her roar, poor Little Nezha was even speaking through tears.

It was impossible to guard against!

She had watched and guarded against it in every possible way, not even daring to blink last night!

She had even taken the time to scour the entire console-gaming section where A Yin streamed!

Only after seeing that not a single streamer was playing their game had she dared go to bed!

But who could have expected it?!

A CrossFire-signed streamer had slipped in and raided her base!

No wonder it had sold over two thousand copies!

Shen Miaomiao was grinding her teeth so hard they were about to shatter!

It took her a full ten minutes!

Before she finally caught her breath again!

She took a sip of water.

"...It's fine, it's fine, Shen Miaomiao! Pull yourself together!"

Shen Miaomiao might have been small and delicate.

But as a salted fish, she prided herself on being broad-minded and exceptionally good at regulating her emotions.

"It's okay! This game is riddled with flaws anyway!"

Shen Miaomiao took a deep breath and tried hard to steady herself, calming her mind.

"Things have only changed slightly. The game's quality has not been exposed yet."

"A streamer at A Yin's level will definitely roast that awful art style the moment he sees it!"

"As long as he tears down the game on stream, I still have hope!"

"It might even backfire on the game's sales!"

"Mm!"

"Come on! Stay strong! Shen Miaomiao, your luck can't possibly be that bad!"

After giving herself a pep talk!

Shen Miaomiao tried to regain her confidence and focused on the stream.

Then she saw A Yin launch the game and burst into laughter—

"Holy crap, this art style is way too absurd! Hahaha, this is interesting!"

A Yin was delighted.

He had no idea that the flap of a butterfly's wings in Tianjin might result in one more person being literally angered to death at Golden Wind Game Company.

At that moment, a voice with a faint Shanxi accent sounded over the voice channel.

"Hello, hello, Boss, can you hear me?"

"Yeah, I hear you. Brother Shu, get online."

A Yin answered.

The person playing online with him this time was the streamer Brother Shu, known as the "pyramid scheme ringleader." He had been A Yin's gaming friend since their early days, and viewers affectionately called him "A Tree" or "A Cui."

Very quickly!

The two joined the room.

By flipping a coin, they determined the roles for the first round—

A Yin would play the son and try his best to get himself killed within the time limit.

Brother Shu would play the father and protect A Yin within the time limit.

A Yin had watched footage of this game last night.

So he believed he was at least somewhat mentally prepared for the game's bizarre art style.

However!

When he entered the game, he was still shocked by the absurd and strange character models.

"Damn, this game is seriously freaky..."

After laughingly cursing it out, A Yin quickly got into character.

"Daddy! Your Yin the Mighty is awake! You'd better watch yourself!"

As he spoke, A Yin jumped down from the crib and began rummaging around the room.

And sure enough.

That rummaging really did uncover something good—

Whether Mom had been careless or Dad had been inattentive, there was a plate of sliced fruit on a table beside the nursery, and right next to the fruit lay a fruit knife.

A Yin had found treasure!

"Oh-ho, holy crap! What kind of divine weapon is this?! Daddy, come look!"

At that moment, Brother Shu came looking for him too. The moment he pushed open the door, he greeted him enthusiastically.

"Ah—Yin the Mighty, come let Daddy hold you—"

However!

Before he could finish speaking!

A Yin, who was waving the knife around, accidentally let the fruit knife slip from his hand.

Splat—

The flying knife struck Brother Shu squarely in the forehead.

For an instant, the entire stream fell silent.

A Yin was stunned for a long while too!

In the end, he managed to force out just one sentence.

"Hmph!"

"How could a great man born between heaven and earth remain forever beneath another!"
