Shadow Weaver

Chapter 147: Stab the villain

Well, maybe it’s not “a little bit frustrating”, it’s quite frustrating, especially the part where you’re struggling in hardship and being constantly oppressed by reality.

At least she felt very depressed there, so depressed that she was almost mad to death.

Xu Yichi stared out the window at the night sky, lost in thought - people in the new era often find it difficult to truly understand the moods and situations of people in the old era.

Even those who work in the entertainment industry like them, who claim to be more empathetic than ordinary people, can only barely glimpse a little bit of the lost and displaced emotions of their predecessors through the countless cracks in history.

——Most of them still want to use the stories of the ancients to illustrate modern people.

Nothing else.

"Well... Actually, from a writer's perspective, this is not so bad." An Qing, who was quickly recording the key points of Xu Yichi's words on his tablet, raised his head and said, "It's not so frustrating that it's unbearable... It's just really sad."

"There is a faint sense of powerlessness and despair that permeates between the lines."

"Even if she finally awakens and fights with all her might at the cost of her life... the tragedy that we are destined to know due to the 'predetermined' times and history will still make everyone who reads this text feel the lingering extreme despair."

"And this kind of fatalistic despair is the most depressing and painful."

"So, if we just look at the story itself, it's actually okay. It's already very, very amazing that she could awaken in that era. This doesn't make people feel aggrieved." An Qing shook his pen and analyzed seriously, "On the contrary, it makes people feel a shock from the depths of their souls."

“It will inspire people, and after a moment of shock, they will subconsciously reflect and sometimes even feel a little bit of luck.”

——Be thankful that you were born in a peaceful and stable era.

I am thankful that my country is no longer as weak and vulnerable as it was a hundred years ago.

"What is really frustrating is that we already know the future of this story. We are the 'future people' who already know the direction of the timeline."

An Qing tapped the tablet lightly with his fingertips: "We know that her behavior is no different from a moth flying into a flame. We know that the era would not tolerate too many detached and sober people to continue to exist."

"She knew that given her identity, her position and her environment, everything she did was destined to achieve only short-term results before disappearing like fireworks without a trace."

"But, didn't you say it? Xiaoyi."

"In one of the later branch plots, this girl becomes a fierce ghost, and fierce ghosts will take your life." An Qing smiled and winked at Xu Yichi, "If we were making a movie, the plot could end with the girl's tragic death; if we were making a TV series, we could also film that after the girl's death, countless people who had also awakened would embark on the path she had walked and wanted to continue on and finally achieve the final victory."

"But we are making a game now! Some side quests don't need to be so factual and logical. This is equivalent to giving players an emotional outlet, a place to breathe--"

"Looking at it this way, you won't feel aggrieved at all!"

"——Okay, that's all the nonsense I'm going to say. Let's continue talking about your new settings, our Xu Xiaotiancai."

"Xiaobai and I are waiting for you to finish talking about the rest of the story, so we can hurry up and revise the outline, sample chapters, and character settings! If Jianxian and the chef knew that we had all escaped, they would be forced by you to work overtime overnight, and they would definitely secretly stab your villain!" An Qing helped Xu Yichi get rid of the "stifled" feeling in his heart in a joking manner. When Xu Yichi heard the word "stab the villain", his face twisted uncontrollably: "From what you said...it seems that they really stabbed my villain before?"

"Hey! Of course." Lord An rubbed his hands with a wry smile, "These days, which worker hasn't secretly cursed his boss?"

"——It depends on whether you, the boss, have a good temper or a bad temper, whether you are generous with your salary or... Oh, of course, based on the previous cash flow of our studio, the salary is indeed not generous..."

"In short, the matter of 'cursing the boss' has no sufficient and necessary connection with the boss's own behavior - it is just the instinctive habit of the office workers."

"To put it bluntly... most good bosses will get stabbed less in the back, while bad bosses who go too far will be stabbed and their entire family and ancestors will be 'blessed'."

"——Generally speaking, the cooks still love you very much." An Qing smiled, "I took a sneak peek when they were making the figurines last time. The figurines they made were very cute, and there were no names on them. They didn't do anything inappropriate... They were just letting off some steam."

"...Thank you, Qingqing." Xu Yichi was speechless, "But I don't feel any better."

——I even had the urge to buy a few dolls and secretly bring them back!

Damn it, why is she the only one in the whole studio who got stabbed? Is it just because she is the nominal boss? !

Also, why did she always feel that there was something wrong with what Qingqing had just said, but she couldn't seem to find an anchor to refute?
"Oh my god~ look at you." An Qing groaned and gave Xu Yichi an ugly wink, "You are still so impatient."

"Nonsense... Because it wasn't you who got stabbed!" Xu Yichi gritted his teeth, "And why haven't I seen anyone stab you, little man?"

"Of course it's because... their family controls the financial lifeline of the entire studio." An Qing pretended to be innocent - are you kidding? She has the funds for the entire family's activities in her hands!

Including the investment that Xiaoyi brought in this time! If it is deposited into the public account, she will be in charge and approve it!
"You...you said that..." Xu Dasheng looked frustrated - damn! She felt that what she said made sense!
"Damn it, then, then, then, where's Xiaobai?" The angry little girl suddenly changed her target, "Why hasn't Xiaobai been stabbed by anyone?"

Bai Miaomiao, who was immersed in her sketch, looked up when she heard the voice: "Ah?"

Xu Yichi's momentum weakened instantly: "...It's okay, Miao Ma, you continue."

——It’s so funny.

When facing Xiaobai, she always cowers and kneels down immediately, never giving her any reason or chance to deal with her!

"Okay, it's normal even if you two don't get stabbed." Xu Dazhuo continued to be stubborn, "What about her hair? She is the main programmer, doesn't the main programmer get hated?"

——She just didn’t believe that she couldn’t find someone who could be stabbed with her!

"Her hair... has become so bald." An Qing looked at her like a mentally retarded person, "Why did they prick her? Do they want her to become bald faster?"

"Wake up, Xiaoyi, stop struggling——"

"Go on with the inventory, be good."
