Chapter 10: A Grand Wedding
As soon as Wang Yue's summer break began in his third year, he heard that the impatient Xiao Nai and Wei Wei had set their wedding date. Wang Yue and his three roommates were all invited to the wedding.
However, on the wedding day, their dorm was split into two groups. Wang Yue attended as a guest of the groom's side, while Boss, Second Brother, and Fourth Brother were guests of the bride's side.
Xiao Nai and Wei Wei initially planned to get married right after Wei Wei graduated. Xiao Nai even proposed a traditional ancient-style wedding, which delighted Wei Wei. As they discussed with their parents, everything began to spiral in an uncontrollable direction.
The elders on both sides became happier with each discussion and decided to proceed entirely according to ancient customs, including the "three letters and six rites" and "three matchmakers and six proposals." For convenience, Wei Wei's family arrived in Kyoto early. Xiao Nai's uncle arranged a traditional courtyard house near the school, and Wei Wei would be married from there.
Despite extreme compression of the timeline, the procedures still took nearly two months. By the time Wei Wei and Xiao Nai were about to get married, it was almost the start of the school year.
On the wedding day, although there wasn't a "ten-mile red dowry," it was extremely festive. Not only did Xiao Nai wear an ancient wedding outfit, but Bei Weiwei was adorned in a phoenix coronet and ceremonial robes. As friends of Xiao Nai and Wei Wei, everyone present wore traditional ancient attire.
It was rumored that on the wedding day, many tabloid reporters, hearing the news, rushed to the scene, mistaking it for a film or television drama shoot. Such an open-minded crew was rare.
After filming for a while, they suddenly realized something was amiss. During the ceremony's "three bows and nine kowtows" between the couple, many people in ancient costumes actually took out their phones to take pictures. This was incredibly unprofessional.
So, they asked the guy in charge of the wedding videography, "It's a wrap, why are you still filming? Doesn't the director care?"
The cameraman was initially complaining about the family hiring so many photographers for a wedding. But upon hearing the words of this photographer, he almost burst out laughing.
He quickly explained, "They're having a legitimate wedding, not filming a drama!"
The tabloid photographers, upon hearing this, started to turn off their cameras. However, their actions were mostly intercepted by the accompanying reporters, who gestured for the photographers to continue and then called their superiors for instructions.
Most decided to play along with the mistake, as it was excellent news material.
A few particularly shrewd reporters even contacted both families after the wedding. With their consent, they took a copy of the wedding video.
The next day, as expected, Wei Wei and Xiao Nai's wedding made it into the newspapers. What was unexpected, however, was that the wedding was featured on the city's prime-time news broadcast that evening.
Wang Yue originally thought that after attending Xiao Nai and Wei Wei's wedding, he would be able to return home. After all, the plot had concluded. He was still reluctant to leave, not wanting to part with his brothers and his girlfriend. However, the morning after a drunken night, he discovered he was still in this world.
This was ridiculous. What kind of system was so terrible? He had been in this world for over three years, and it had never made a sound. Could it be a one-way ticket, only responsible for randomly throwing people into worlds? Was this system just responsible for throwing all the "salted fish" in the world into film and television worlds?
Regardless of his internal grumbling, life had to go on. Wang Yue went with the flow, absorbing knowledge from Xiao Nai's company. He even learned Xiao Nai's habit of publicly displaying affection to the fullest.
Now, Wang Yue held a significant position at Xiao Nai's company. After all, over the past three years, Wang Yue had proposed numerous game ideas, each becoming a source of profit for the company.
Zhiyi Technology had grown from a few people in a small office to over two hundred employees, and it was still expanding rapidly.
Besides games, the company had also ventured into network security. Wang Yue spent his days with the technical department, handling various network security issues. He was eager to practice all his computer skills, accepting any challenge.
Wang Yue had applied to transfer to the network technology department six months ago. KO was the head of this department, and he wanted to improve his hacking skills under KO's guidance.
One day, KO went to help Hao Mei perfect a program. Wang Yue suddenly received a message from the head of the technical department, stating that a group of people was attempting to infiltrate the company's network and that everyone was organizing a defense.
Wang Yue saw that the intruders were relentless and decided to trace their path. The intruders, realizing they had been exposed, quickly organized their defense. However, Wang Yue was a step ahead and successfully identified the organizers behind the attack.
Wang Yue quickly sent the information he obtained to Xiao Nai, then stood up and hurried to the restroom. The operation had taken too long.
As soon as he squatted down, he heard the "ding" of the foolish system's prompt.
"Ding, Host has learned the Hacker skill and gained recognition from many hackers!"
"Ding, Host has met the return conditions for the Salted Fish Film and Television System!"
"Ding, Transmigration System is initiating!"
"Ding, Initialization successful, preparing to return to the original world!"
"Ding, Return successful!"
"Ding, Transmigration System is in cooldown!"
That was it!?
Couldn't it avoid bothering him while he was using the restroom?
Also, what was with the cooldown? Would it initiate another transmigration after the cooldown? But it should at least give a hint about how long the cooldown would be.
Wang Yue was speechless. He had even lost the girlfriend he had found again!
There was nowhere to complain. In any case, this damned system would never pay attention to him. As the saying goes, if you can't resist, just enjoy it silently.
However, Wang Yue's calm mood immediately soured.
It had been a while since he returned from his transmigration. He didn't know when the ten-minute Love O2O compilation on Douyin had finished playing. Wang Yue finally remembered to tidy himself up and leave.
As he stood up abruptly, his legs felt numb, a truly unpleasant sensation. Wang Yue limped back to the office, drawing many curious glances along the way.
But Wang Yue didn't care at all. At this moment, the "aura" he had learned from Xiao Nai actually had the opposite effect.
Imagine a person with a cool, aloof demeanor limping past you. The dramatic effect was too much; it was impossible not to notice.
Wang Yue returned to his office and sat in his chair. It took him a long while for his unruly legs to finally obey him again.
He glanced at the time displayed in the bottom right corner of his monitor and recalled that this transmigration hadn't consumed any time!
This setting was good. When his legs were numb, he hadn't noticed and thought his body was still in the same posture while his mind had transmigrated. Fortunately, fortunately.
Wang Yue looked at the blueprints open on his computer screen, recalled them, and prepared to get back to work. But the computer he was used to now felt so awkward!
Without a second thought, he saved the blueprints and began to work. The sound of his keyboard clacking could be heard for quite some time.
Several people near the office looked at Wang Yue in surprise. The elder, Brother Yan, enthusiastically asked, "What are you playing?"
Brother Yan was a gaming enthusiast. When Plants vs. Zombies first became popular, he always had the game running in the background on his computer. The manager had even summoned him for a talk about it a few times, but for some reason, the matter was eventually dropped.
Brother Yan later told everyone that as long as your professional skills were strong, everything else was secondary. Everyone flattered him for a while, but Brother Yan remained true to himself. Still, no one dared to follow his example, as no one was a complete fool.
With three rounds of new books, updates will be stable.
