Agreeing to Create Bad Games, What the Hell Is ‘Titanfall’? Chapter 313: Walking Alone, Walking in Pairs

It's just that the one million investnt from the little treasury is gone, it's fine.

Think about it, if Overwatch hadn't sold so well, you wouldn't have bought Ubsoft from CloudPower's hands.

Now that such a garbage fighter has been acquired by the company, won't future losses be smooth sailing?

Calm your mind, calm your mind.

Just consider that the one million from the little treasury was invested in Ubsoft.

Thinking about it this way, doesn't it feel much more comfortable...

Like hell it does!!!

Shen Miaomiao roared in her heart, pounding her chest in frustration!

Originally, this wave should have made financially free!

Once financially free, Old Gu could release whatever he wanted in the future, and I could just disappear from the company, becoming a completely hands-off boss!

But now!

Shen Miaomiao secretly clenched her fists!

The revolution isn't over yet, comrades still need to work hard!

Damn traitor Old Gu!

I'll fight you to the end!

"...Want to fight , Hua Qiang? Do you have what it takes? Right, hahahaha..."

Beep.

Unlocked.

Shen Miaomiao carried the unsteady Gu Sheng and threw him onto the bed, speechless:

"...You can't even walk straight, and you're still talking about Hua Qiang? You'd be lucky to have the skills of that fool Bai."

Sigh—

Looking at Gu Sheng on the bed with a flushed face and dazed eyes, Shen Miaomiao put her hands on her hips and sighed.

What a ss.

I'm really too kind. Clearly this traitor just backstabbed , yet not only did I not abandon him, I even returned good for evil, carrying this traitor from the car to the hotel.

Yes.

Right after the strear invitational ended, the responsible executives from the three major platforms, along with various strears and players, gathered together. Hosted by Golden Wind, they held a celebration banquet to thank the three platforms for their support and also express gratitude to the various strears for their active participation.

At the celebration banquet, the number one target of 'surrounding attacks' was none other than Gu Sheng, of course.

There was no way to avoid it.

Even though during this ti, Old Lu, Da Jiang, and Moriya joined forces to 'protect their lord,' the enemy's offensive this wave was too fierce, and they were overwhelming in numbers!

So even with his beloved generals protecting him, Gu Sheng couldn't withstand the crowd's attacks and was defeated.

To the point that after the banquet ended, he was completely done for.

Leaving the arrangents for various matters to Moriya and the other two, Gu Sheng 'reluctantly bid farewell to everyone' and was dragged to the hotel by Shen Miaomiao.

Sigh.

Looking at Old Gu on the bed who had already started counting stars, Shen Miaomiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Three years.

It had been three years since she t Gu Sheng, and this was the first ti she had seen him drunk to this state.

She sighed softly, muttering under her breath, 'You really are my nesis,' then walked over, crouched down, and helped Gu Sheng take off his shoes:

"Young Master, take off your shoes, don't fall asleep yet, I'll get a wet towel to wipe your face."

After moving Gu Sheng's legs onto the bed, Shen Miaomiao took off her coat and hung it on the coat rack by the door, then rolled up her sleeves and walked into the bathroom.

The sound of running water echoed as Shen Miaomiao put the pure white towel into warm water, feeling a bit dazed for a mont.

She still rembered when she had just moved into the shabby little house in the old neighborhood.

Due to the unprecedented success of the Titanfall project (her ultimate failure), coupled with the joy of the system upgrade, the mix of sadness and happiness caused her to develop a high fever that left her completely disoriented.

In her hazy mory, she seed to rember that Old Gu had taken care of her like this that day.

Wiping her face and hands, urgently taking her to the hospital, being her rocking car, and even singing to her...

Thinking of this.

Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.

And after that, the two of them started 'living together.'

Now, it had been a full two and a half years.

If this were an idol artist, they probably would have mastered singing, dancing, rap, and basketball to perfection by now.

Tch!

Thinking this, Shen Miaomiao paused.

I've really been living with Old Gu for too long; my train of thought is getting more and more ridiculous.

Splash.

Shaking her head with a silent laugh, Shen Miaomiao folded the warm towel and returned to the bedroom of the suite, sitting beside Gu Sheng:

"Here, wipe your face."

As she spoke, the warm towel covered Gu Sheng's face, carrying a faint fragrance that slightly eased the intense sll of alcohol.

The button at his collar was undone, and Gu Sheng clearly felt Shen Miaomiao pulling him into her soft arms, carefully wiping his jaw and neck.

A faint peach fragrance wafted over, and her smooth black hair fell onto Gu Sheng's face, tickling him.

"Th... thank you..."

Gu Sheng barely managed to open his eyes a slit, speaking groggily.

"Just stay put. If you really want to thank , then make a good ga for ."

Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao took advantage of Gu Sheng's confusion to complain irritably.

"Good ga? What good ga? How good a ga?"

Hearing Shen Miaomiao's complaint, the dazed Gu Sheng subconsciously asked:

"Is Overwatch... not good enough?"

"Good, very good, too good—"

Shen Miaomiao put Gu Sheng's head back on the bed, sowhat gritting her teeth:

"It's not just good, it's practically great..."

As she spoke, Shen Miaomiao stood up and walked to the bathroom, filling a tooth cup with water.

She helped Gu Sheng sit up again and fed it to him: "Here, rinse your mouth, rinse your mouth and then go to sleep, go dream up your even greater ga ideas."

After so tidying up!

Shen Miaomiao finally finished taking care of this drunk young master, sighing inwardly that soone of her young lady status would one day end up serving others.

With a click.

Shen Miaomiao turned off the bedroom light and turned on the small night light by the bed.

She draped the blanket over Gu Sheng, then turned and walked out of the room, leaning back on the living room sofa, closing her eyes wearily.

These past few days had really exhausted her.

First going to the United States to discuss the acquisition, then attending the OW finals as a guest, and in the end, getting backstabbed by rcy's ultimate ability.

The 1018x return vanished into thin air.

As of 8 PM.

Overwatch, with its announced sales of 3.09 million copies in a single week, beca the undeniable record holder among motion-sensing pod FPS gas, achieving the highest sales during the ga's release period for an FPS ga.

But perhaps because there had been too many things happening recently, making people tired, or perhaps because Ubsoft's garbage level far exceeded expectations, showing clear potential for losing money.

Shen Miaomiao, who should have been frantic or even furious this ti, surprisingly didn't feel overly upset.

Although watching the return amount slowly disappear was indeed despairing at first.

But seeing how happy Old Gu was on stage, how triumphant and satisfied he was at the banquet.

Shen Miaomiao seed to feel that this matter wasn't so unacceptable after all.

At worst, she would prepare for a prolonged battle, focus on Ubsoft, and 'fight to the end' with Old Gu.

As she thought about it.

Shen Miaomiao slowly closed her eyes.

Soon, even breathing sounds could be heard, and Shen Miaomiao, sleeping in her clothes, fell asleep on the sofa like that.

And Gu Sheng opened his eyes at this mont.

In the dark bedroom, the small bedside lamp emitted a faint glow.

Feeling extrely thirsty, Gu Sheng picked up the water glass beside him and took a sip.

Then he grabbed his phone and glanced at the ti—

[September 1, 2023 - 23:50]

And in the phone's notification bar, there were several ssages:

[Garsky: 'Starfield' Released, IGN Score 7]

[Xiaohei Box: 'Baldur's Gate' and 'Tears of the Kingdom' Are Evenly Matched, This Year's Ga of the Year Still Uncertain]

[Honor of Kings: Your "Nakoruru Pentakill Highlight Video" Has Been Generated, Co Take a Look!"]

...

Huh?

For a mont, Gu Sheng's mind went blank.

Starfield? Baldur's Gate? Tears of the Kingdom? Honor of Kings?

Wait!

The next second!

Gu Sheng suddenly sprang up alertly from the bed!

In three quick steps he jumped off the bed, turning on the light with a snap!

Only to see himself now, wearing gray ice-silk pajamas, standing barefoot on the floor.

On the minimalist-style bed, a blanket with the WOW Alliance logo was spread out.

Turning around, he pushed the door open and went out!

The living room was cold and deserted, icy cold like a pitch-black cellar,

The cold fluorescent light turned on.

Several photos were displayed on the TV cabinet.

There was a selfie of him in front of the Ubisoft Chengdu studio, a photo with Hidetaka Miyazaki at FromSoftware...

Taking out his phone again!

The Assassin's Creed LOGO on the phone's ho screen was so glaring.

What is this...

Gu Sheng took steps with disbelief.

The cold floor felt lifeless.

The hollow sound in the dead silence filled his eardrums.

A huge sense of loneliness gripped his heart like a giant hand.

Opening WeChat again, he searched for Old Lu's na:

June 4, 2018

[Lu Bian: Buddy got married, on the fifth next month, are you free?]

[: Sorry Old Lu, I'm in Neon right now, I'll co congratulate you in person when I return to the country, take the gift money first, happy marriage]

[Old Lu: Definitely contact when you're back, thanks bro]

Then finding Da Jiang's na:

June 7, 2018

[Da Jiang: Brother Sheng, can't you make it back for Old Lu's wedding?]

[: Yeah, I'm abroad, probably can't make it back, how about you?]

[Da Jiang: I can't go either, it's hard to get ti off from my job]

Opening the browser to search "Golden Wind":

[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind (davidprod...-Baidu Baike)]

[JO]O's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind - HD Video Online Watch]

[Golden Wind - Video Collection - HD Online Watch]

Under the dark moonlight, Gu Sheng sat alone on the sofa, his eyes full of confusion, even fear.

The lifeless house was like a massive beast that fed on human loneliness,

And now, he was the food in this beast's mouth.

A sense of bewildernt mixed with indescribable feelings surged towards him like a tide.

Walking alone, he couldn't even grasp half a lifeline in the drowning despair.

At this mont, the once familiar 'ho' felt like a cage imprisoning loneliness, making it hard for him to breathe.

His Adam's apple bobbed.

Gu Sheng placed his last hope on that string of numbers long morized by heart, engraved in his mory.

But after dialing, the voice from the receiver was even colder than this desolate and bewildering night:

[Sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service, please check and try again... Sorry...]

An indescribable, imnse fear, like a sky-lting giant wave!

Surging up, crashing over him!

Gu Sheng had never been so terrified, feeling a buzzing tinnitus in both ears.

And on the phone screen in his hand, a pair of dark demon claws slowly approached his throat—!

"...Old Gu! Old Gu?!"

Gasp— gasp— gasp—!

His eyes snapped open!

Gu Sheng's terrified pupils reflected Shen Miaomiao's concerned face,

Drenched in sweat!

"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

Shen Miaomiao looked at Gu Sheng's completely terrified expression, worriedly wiping the fine cold sweat from his forehead.

The dim light outlined the face of the person before him in a hazy glow.

A pair of star-like eyes shone brightly, full of worry, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, concern evident.

Gu Sheng's Adam's apple bobbed.

Slowly reaching out, he touched Shen Miaomiao's small face.

The delicate, smooth warmth spread through his fingertips, like a pair of gentle hands soothing Gu Sheng's violently beating, fearful heart.

Shen Miaomiao felt a bit embarrassed by Gu Sheng's actions: "How are you..."

Before she could finish.

Shen Miaomiao felt her body lighten as Gu Sheng pulled her into his embrace.

A blush quietly crept onto her cheeks, but it didn't stop her arms from wrapping around Gu Sheng's waist.

Shen Miaomiao buried her face in Gu Sheng's shoulder, patting his back slowly:

"There, there... it's alright... it's okay...."

"I'm here..."

"Mm." Gu Sheng only responded softly, then said nothing more.

Emily Dickinson once wrote in her short poem "If I Shouldn't Have Seen the Sun"—

[I could have endured the darkness if I hadn't seen the sun, but now the sunlight has made my desolation even more desolate]

Having lived two lives.

Walking alone.

I thought I had adapted to this solitude.

And in fact, I had indeed adapted to this solitude.

I was free, I was unfettered, I was unconstrained, I was without attachnts.

I was wandering wild grass, rootless duckweed.

I was accustod to waking up in the dark night, under the desolate moonlight, staring blankly at the empty room.

I was also accustod to waking from heavy drunkenness with a severe headache, fumbling to wash up and drink water.

If I hadn't seen the light.

If I hadn't felt the warmth.

If every morning, I didn't greet my dawn with good mornings.

If every sunset, I didn't chase the afterglow with my sunlight.

If every night, I didn't snuggle with my bright moonlight, chatting about everything.

"Are you... okay...."

Feeling Gu Sheng's body trembling slightly.

Shen Miaomiao lifted her small head, tightened her embrace around Gu Sheng, rubbing his back, her soft voice full of worry.

She didn't know what Old Gu had dread about that could frighten soone as steadfast as him to this extent.

Hearing this.

Gu Sheng didn't answer.

He only shook his head slightly.

I've asked myself countless tis, when exactly would be the most right ti.

And now, I seem to finally understand—

No ti is ever the most right ti.

Only now, imdiately, right away, is the most right ti.

Over the past three years, I've received countless invitations.

Yiyou, XunTeng, CDEA, Kora, GDC, gaming exhibitions...

But this ti.

No one invited .

I want to make a ga of my own.

Our ga.

Having lived two lives, I've had enough of walking alone.

I can no longer endure loneliness.

In the days to co, I want to be with this girl in my arms, embracing each other, like brilliant sunlight dispelling my lonely shadows—

"It Takes Two"
