Shadow Weaver

Chapter 20 What a sin!
After Xu Yichi finished speaking, he clenched his trouser legs tightly around his knees, his eyes fixed on the little loli's face.

She felt that when she was leading the team to carry out the major innovation project and reporting the topic selection and process to the school leaders and teachers, she was not as nervous as she is now.

At this moment, her calves were so tight that they were cramping, and her palms were covered with slippery and greasy cold sweat.

The key point... if Daiso succeeds [beep——], at most he will be severely criticized by the teachers in charge.

But if this game that our ancestors wanted was accidentally turned into a piece of shit with gold edges and carved flowers...

Then can she really type out all the [beep——] for her?

The little girl, who unconsciously imagined a wonderful scene, trembled again and again, and her trouser legs, which were already soaked with sweat, suddenly had two twisted claw marks.

After hearing this, Yang Yanan stared at Xu Yichi for a long while while holding the potato chips. After a long while, he slowly said, "Not bad."

"After all, folk literature doesn't need a technical downgrade... What it needs is a more streamlined summary of the story - your entry point is well integrated with the main body of the game. Mu Guiying is indeed a very popular character in the nation and is very suitable to be singled out for detailed discussion."

"Especially, you can kill two birds with one stone... you can cram the story of the Yang Family Generals in Shanxi Province and the legend of Mu Guiying in Beijing into the plot at the same time." The little girl held two potato chips in her mouth and spoke a little vaguely.

"But your game idea is still lacking in details."

"For example, what kind of power could allow Mu Guiying, a character who only exists in legends, to be trapped in that 'small space'; and what kind of world background would allow the main controller to 'rewind time' over and over again in the game until Mu Guiying's obsession and regrets are dissipated..."

Yang Yanan swallowed the snack in his mouth and began to talk nonstop: "For example, why was the main controller brought into such a world, why did he/she have to go through all this, what is the ultimate goal, and how will the subsequent plot be connected..."

"Xiao Xu, don't be like that frog in the lake, jumping up and down when you poke it, and lying still when you don't poke it - use your brain and think about it, or I'll find a stick to chop you with!"

The little girl was in a hurry, and Xu Yichi was so angry that he couldn't stop wailing and holding his head: "Woo woo woo, I'm thinking about it, don't rush me, Your Majesty, don't rush me!"

"If you keep pushing me, my head will burst. Do I not want to think about these things? It is obvious that I have no idea, Your Majesty!!"

The little girl whined and complained.

According to her previous plan, she was going to wait until she had thoroughly visited the dozen or so intangible cultural heritage protection sites that they had circled out before leaving, then go to Daicheng for a round of browsing, make sure she was satisfied, and then rush back to slowly think about how to make this game later... But she didn't expect that this ancestor would be so anxious that she wanted her to conjure a finished game out of thin air immediately!

——What a sin!
She has really committed a great sin! (crossed out)
Xu Yichi was secretly complaining in her heart. She felt regretful at this moment. She regretted it very much.

If she had known that a trip to Yunzhong would provoke such an ancestor who could neither be sent away nor offended, she should not have gone to Yunzhong when she left Yuancheng - she should have come directly to Xinchuan to bump into her idol!
Under pressure, little Xu Yichi began to escape out of habit.

Lu Shinian, who had already recorded a collection of "Top Gay Classic Quotes" on the side, coughed and clenched his fists slightly when he saw this. Xu Yichi turned around and saw him nodding at her almost imperceptibly.

"Master Xu, didn't you visit dozens of relevant protection organizations before coming to Xinchuan?" The young man in Taoist robes blinked wildly at the little girl, "Why don't you try to add some other intangible cultural heritage elements into the game framework?" "It just so happens that Senior Yang is still here... In case you need anything, she can help you take a look, right?"

"Of course it would be great if we could add some other intangible cultural heritage elements." Xu Yichi's ears turned red for no reason when he heard this. He scratched his head with his hand embarrassedly while speaking, "But, but I don't have the ability to find so many cultural centers willing to cooperate with our studio... and I can't get so many authorizations!"

"Besides, the studio's funding is not very sufficient. We are currently still an ordinary independent game studio. We can't get investment, and we don't want investors to interfere too much in our creation."

"So... that's what."

——They are still very stretched.

Otherwise, he would not have hesitated about Senior Yang's proposal.

——She was really worried that they didn’t have enough money or scripts to make anything good.

"Hey~ Master Xu, I think your idea is not very suitable." Hearing this, Lu Shinian deliberately raised his voice in an exaggerated tone, "How can we, who are working tirelessly for our ideals, give up our lofty and great dreams just because we have no money... and give up this great opportunity to promote intangible cultural heritage?"

"If the money is not enough, then try your best...if that doesn't work, you can always work 18 jobs a day! As long as you live, you will continue to work. As long as we work hard and diligently...there will always be a chance for us to become qualified cattle and horses...no, qualified dream chasers."

Lu Shinian raised his eyebrows, and although it seemed that he was talking to Xu Yichi, his eyes were actually firmly fixed on Yang Yanan.

At the end of the sentence, he even revealed his true intentions to Ling, turned around and smiled at the little girl, "Isn't that what you said? Senior Yang Yan'an."

"Come on, Jiazi, stop acting... I can see what you are thinking." Yang Yan'an, who was half-pushed, half-pulled, and coaxed into a high position, snorted coldly, and looked at Lu Shinian with more and more disgust.

"You just want to trick me into getting some help for Xiao Xu and some investment, right? That's easy to say. You don't have to imitate your master's deceptive attitude."

"——It's not that I dislike you, Clamp." The little girl smacked her lips faintly, "Your ability to fool people is far inferior to that old bull nose Chen Yingsheng."

"If you have that much time, you might as well talk to your master and trick him... It would be embarrassing for that profiteer to show off your power now!"

"...Okay, Senior Yang, I will go back and ask Master for advice." Lu Shinian readily followed suit, without any sign of anger or shame at being exposed.

Anyway, the main reason he spoke today was to trick Senior Yang into paying some money - he couldn't be the only one to pay "protection money" to his master in order to help Mr. Xu deal with the evil spirit, this ancestor had to pay something too.

"Oh, you agreed pretty quickly." Yang Yan'an twitched the corner of his lips, then turned to look at Xu Yichi seriously, "Xiao Xu, how much does it cost for you to make this game?"

"Is one million enough?"
