Silence.

Silence filled Binhai University Library today.

Lu Bian looked at the stunned campus belle, whose mind had gone completely blank.

Then he looked at Wu Wei, who wore a smile.

Something was wrong! Disaster was imminent!

"Um... ahem... I'm going to find a book to read. Come on, darling."

As he spoke, he grabbed his girlfriend Fang Jin without giving her any choice.

Then he turned and ran!

If he didn't run now, when would he?!

If he waited for Wu Wei to make time to deal with him, he'd probably die without a burial ground today!

"Hey... huh? Bianbian? What do you mean?"

"Come on, come on, I'll take you to find a book."

"But your friend..."

"He's not my friend right now. He's my dad. If we don't leave, we'll be fast-forwarding straight to the copper-head belt. Hurry..."

Lu Bian dragged Fang Jin away at the speed of light.

Only Wu Wei and Shen Yunshi remained.

Shen Yunshi's mind was buzzing, and she had completely lost the ability to think!

"Uh... what did you say?"

"This game..."

Wu Wei pointed at the laptop in front of Shen Yunshi.

"I designed it."

"I'm the designer. Whatever."

Boom—

A mushroom cloud exploded in Shen Yunshi's mind!

I'm screwed!

Wu Wei was actually the designer of this game?!

That meant...

I just called him a pervert to his face?!

Shen Yunshi's face instantly turned red!

The blush spread from her neck all the way to her ears!

Shen Yunshi had always disdained talking behind someone's back.

Yet she had unexpectedly become that kind of person today!

"I... I... no... um..."

Shen Yunshi was so flustered that she could barely speak. She waved her hands repeatedly and stammered, "I didn't mean that... I was... uh..."

Shen Yunshi was nearly crying from panic!

Who could have imagined that the game dominating livestreams across the internet and holding first place on Zhiyou's new game rankings had been made by a university student still in school!

More importantly, how could there be such a coincidence in the world!

The designer was sitting right in front of her!

For a moment, shock, embarrassment, shame, and all sorts of emotions mixed together, leaving Shen Yunshi so anxious that she didn't know what to do.

Watching Shen Yunshi panic and try to explain without knowing where to begin, Wu Wei secretly laughed.

He had to admit, this girl was pretty entertaining when she got flustered.

She even looked kind of cute.

"It's fine. Don't rush. Have some milk tea to calm down."

Wu Wei thoughtfully handed the milk tea to Shen Yunshi.

"Thank you."

Shen Yunshi gulped down a mouthful.

Wait, that wasn't right?!

Was this about drinking milk tea?!

"Hey? No... I really didn't mean it that way!"

"President Xiang, I found it."

At Mingye Game headquarters, someone knocked on the door of the chief planner's office.

Curly held a stack of documents and handed them to chief planner Xiang Dahai.

"The creator of Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy is a third-year student at Binhai University in Pingjin. His real name is Wu Wei, and he's majoring in game design."

"A student?"

Xiang Dahai took the documents and carefully looked through them.

As he read, Xiang Dahai couldn't help frowning.

There was simply nothing worth seeing in Wu Wei's profile.

He had designed a few games before, but they were all utterly ordinary little games, not even bad enough to be called trash.

Altogether, they had sold fewer than fifty copies.

Only Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy had achieved such explosive results.

"That kid probably just got lucky. This success was nothing more than good fortune."

Curly said.

Xiang Dahai shot Curly a sidelong glance and sternly said, "Is being lucky an excuse?"

"You got beaten by a third-year student, and you still have the nerve to say he was just lucky!"

"Yes, yes. We were careless last time. It definitely won't happen again."

Curly said with a placating smile.

Xiang Dahai snorted coldly.

On the surface, he was reprimanding Curly for underestimating the enemy.

But in truth, when he saw this profile, Xiang Dahai himself had breathed a sigh of relief.

An obscure student with no respectable work to his name suddenly had one game blow up.

If that wasn't luck, what was?

So although Xiang Dahai had rebuked Curly, he actually believed that this student named Wu Wei had simply stumbled into dumb luck.

He casually tossed Wu Wei's profile into the trash can.

Xiang Dahai asked Curly, "How is the new project coming along?"

"We're preparing it now, and progress is moving quickly."

Curly answered.

"Oh, right, President Xiang. Speaking of that, I suddenly remembered something."

As he spoke, Curly looked back at the office door, seeming somewhat uneasy.

"What is it? Why so mysterious?"

Xiang Dahai frowned and asked.

Only after confirming that no one was outside did Curly pull a poster from his folder and hand it to Xiang Dahai.
