If possible, everyone would naturally prefer to team up with skilled players, as this would significantly reduce the difficulty of completing the mission.
Unfortunately, Xia Zhiyi is all alone.
Moreover, everyone knows that Lin Li and Xia Zhiyi good relationship and are in the same dormitory, so if they were to team up, Lin Li would automatically take a spot.
With four people per group, that leaves only two spots.
Everyone looked at each other, wanting to get on this fast ship, but... it shouldn't come to the point of fighting over a final assignment.
So, in the end, after discussing it, the group of people who wanted to team up with Xia Zhiyi decided to settle the matter with rock-paper-scissors.
Of course, this was also done after consulting Xia Zhiyi's personal opinion—given Xia Zhiyi's fighting prowess, who would dare to make a decision for him directly, bypassing him?
Xia Zhiyi: I was going to say that he didn't have to participate in this part, but... well, it's good for him to participate in class activities, anyway, he's free recently.
Although it was such a small assignment, Xia Zhiyi could have easily solved it on her own.
Xia Zhiyi spent a few days at school as usual. On this weekend, he received a call from Xu Chen.
"The music video you filmed in the ancient town has finished post-production. I've reviewed it and think it's fine. I just sent it to your email. Take a look yourself. If it's okay, then we'll start promoting it."
Xia Zhiyi said she understood and asked Xu Chen, "What happened to what happened between me and Sister Zixu before?"
Xu Chen: "It's true that someone is plotting against Xu Zixu. Xu Zixu only has one suspect, but I don't think it's very likely. However, I still had someone investigate."
"Who?"
Xu Chen: "You know him too? Lou Wangxing, the one who came to your school to apologize before."
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhiyi could understand why Xu Chen thought the possibility was slim, "You mean, if it were Lou Wangxing, he wouldn't be so foolish as to drag me into this with Xu Zixu?"
Xu Chen: "Yeah, she knows about your relationship with President Fu. If she's not out of her mind, she wouldn't do something so stupid. This is provoking President Fu."
Xia Zhiyi smiled and said, "You can't say that. Look, there's actually another possibility."
Xu Chen: "Hmm? You mean?"
Xia Zhiyi: "If she's afraid of me, she really shouldn't have done this. After all, the people truly involved aren't Fu Chi, but me and Xu Zixu."
"But she's not afraid of me. Even if she's afraid of Fu Chi, she doesn't know if offending me will really offend Fu Chi. Look, she 'offended' me last time, but she's still alive and well, isn't she?"
"If her hatred for Xu Zixu is greater than her fear of Fu Chi, then she might think that if she lets Xu Zixu get involved in a scandal with me knowing about my relationship with Fu Chi, Fu Chi might become dissatisfied with Sister Zixu because of it?"
Xu Chen remained silent for a long while on the other end of the phone.
Xia Zhiyi: " Sister Chen, why aren't you saying anything?"
Xu Chen took a deep breath and said, "You're right. I was subconsciously looking at this from my own perspective before. In my opinion, neither you nor President Fu are the type to take their anger out on others for no reason."
"But from an outsider's perspective, it might not seem that way."
" Sister Chen, you don't really need to worry too much. In this matter, I'm just an innocent bystander."
Xu Chen: "I'm not worried."
Xu Chen: "Take a look at the video first, and I'll give you a reply once I'm sure there are no problems."
Xia Zhiyi smiled and nodded, then turned on her computer, saying, "I trust Sister Chen. Since you said there's no problem, then there definitely won't be any problems."
Xu Chen: "Then you have to take a look too."
Xia Zhiyi: "Yes, yes, yes."
Just then, Lin Li returned from outside with a Coke. As he entered, he saw the ink-wash animation appearing on Xia Zhiyi's screen, and it looked extremely familiar.
Lin Li paused, "Huh?"
Xia Zhiyi turned to Lin Li with a smile and said, "Want to take a look? It's a promotional MV sent by the game company. This is the final product. If there are no problems, it will be released in the next couple of days."
Lin Li's eyes sparkled. "Wow! Really?! There's such a perk!"
Xia Zhiyi smiled and moved her chair to make room for Lin Li, while saying to Xu Chen on the other end of the phone, "Well, Sister Chen, that's all for now. I'll hang up and get back to you later."
Xu Chen: "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Zhiyi looked at Lin Li, who had brought over a chair, and watched him sit down before restarting the video.
The video begins with the game company's default ink-wash animation, which is also their signature opening. All games and videos produced by this company will have this opening.
In addition, this game company also uses this prefix in products it collaborates on with other companies.
So Lin Li recognized it at just one glance. Even if Xia Zhiyi, he knew that the video was definitely related to that game company.
Even if it's not related to " Jianghu ", he would still be curious and want to watch it.
After the opening animation, there's a fast-paced aerial shot, and then...
"Wow, so handsome!" Lin Li exclaimed in surprise.
On the screen, there is a night sky, and a figure stands Jingjing on a corner of the eaves. His face is not visible, but his silhouette under the moonlight gives people a feeling of loneliness and solitude.
Then, he moved.
Xia Zhiyi leaned back in her chair, watching the video with a smile. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Lin Li's unconsciously straightened back. He was completely absorbed in the video and appeared tense and excited about the fight scenes.
His hands were clenched into fists.
When they see something intense, they'll even let out a soft exclamation. "Oh! Oh!"
Xia Zhiyi: "..."
Hmm, as expected of Lin Li, so lively.
The video is not long, only five minutes in total, and it's not all action scenes, but action scenes are the main focus.
Since it's a promotional music video, the action scenes are exciting enough to attract viewers. The main purpose of this video is to promote the game and attract players.
The video ended quickly, and after the screen went black, Lin Li was still a little dazed, looking like he hadn't had enough.
Lin Li: "Huh? That's it?"
Lin Li: "So fast!"
Lin Li: "So handsome! The Jianghu is so realistic! It looks just like the real thing!"
Lin Li: "Ah, Xiao Xia, did you participate in the production of this video as well?"
Xia Zhiyi Lin Li was asking if he had participated in the video production, not the filming, but this question... He nodded and smiled, saying, "Yes, as I told you before, it was part-time."
Lin Li's eyes Xingxing: "Wow! If there's another chance like this, could you ask me if they still need part-time work? I don't care if I get paid, I just want to broaden my horizons!"
Xia Zhiyi smiled and replied, "Okay, if there's a chance."
