Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

It's normal for teenage girls to have their own secret hobbies, but Greta's feels a bit off.

It feels numb when I pinch it. How did Greta become like this?!

He thought to himself, "Shouldn't I have entrusted her to Eromanga-sensei back then? This child might become Eromanga-sensei number three, wouldn't she?" He was a little worried that Blanca and Hen would come to him with knives to have a heart-to-heart talk once they found out.

It seems like it's time to give Greta some work to squeeze out some of her free time. Coincidentally, Apex Legends is nearing completion, and some promotional images and game PVs have begun to be produced.

Since Gretchen has time to draw these kinds of comics, it shouldn't be a problem to give her some more responsibilities, right?

Yu reached out and hugged Ellie's waist, snuggling closer in her arms as she thought silently.

However, thinking about the game's promotional video, he quietly chimed in after Ellie and the others finished their current conversation.

"Sister Aili, how's the PV music you talked to Sister Eden about coming along?"

As she spoke, the warmth emanating from her lower abdomen made Ellie tremble slightly. She reached out and pinched Yu's face, thought for a moment, and replied, "I remember Eden has almost finished, but she just went back to change her clothes. I'll ask her again when I go for a walk with her tonight."

"Well, I'll try to finish the PV before the Lunar New Year. I'll have to go back to Siberia then."

"Half a month is enough."

Bronya munched on the cookies Seele had made, crunching as she continued, "The game's PV doesn't need too many concept art pieces. We've already finished the most important modeling. All that's left is some rendering and voice-over. We can use the computing power from Anti-Entropy, so there's plenty of time."

"That's good. I don't feel comfortable until I finish my work before going home."

Feeling unbearably itchy, Ellie blushed slightly and gently turned Yu's head back to its normal position.

"Ah, half of my view is taken up."

Nangong Yu's gaze suddenly shifted to the ceiling, and she subconsciously sighed.

"what?"

"No, it's nothing."

He rolled over again, this time looking outwards, and looked at Mei on the other side, saying, "Mei, it's about time we started warming up for the game."

"Warm-up?"

Mei nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "It is indeed time. Should we release some promotional images? Should we buy some more traffic?"

"No need for that. You can just post a game icon on the company website and official blog, and the players will guess it themselves... Never mind, I'll post it myself."

"Don't we need to buy data? Isn't that a bit inconvenient? Are we going to rely on Pokémon?"

Bronya also asked, puzzled.

"Let's forget about Pokémon. The postponement of the World Championships has already drawn criticism for a long time. Using Pokémon to promote a new game would probably just provoke a backlash from the players."

Speaking of this, Nangong Yu was also a little depressed.

The Pokémon World Championships have been postponed to the second half of next year. One reason is that the current player lineups are not strong, and in some regions, not many people even participate in the qualifiers. With more than half a year to go and eight gyms to challenge, each gym is not easy. This is something he did not consider.

Recently, the Pokémon department at Anti-Entropy has been busy adding gyms and lowering their difficulty. Of course, there is another important factor that is why they haven't held any.

An unexpected natural disaster.

The typhoon and torrential rain completely ruined the prepared open-air venue. This was all due to a lack of experience. The typhoon, which was thought to be unaffected, unexpectedly veered off course and passed directly over St. Freya.

Fortunately, these problems only occurred in the first competition, which wasn't very formal, so we can be more experienced in avoiding these pitfalls in the future.

Right now, the construction of the stadium roof is still underway at St. Freya.

"Then what should we do? If we don't buy traffic, we might not even make it to the trending topics."

Have you forgotten the trump card we hold?

"What king...you mean that one?"

"Isn't that enough?" Nangong Yu smiled at her.

"That's more than enough."

Bronya laughed too.

"What kind of riddles are you guys playing? Also, it's after get off work hours, can't we all stop talking about work?"

Kiana was a little confused, and immediately crossed her arms and said angrily.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about work. You guys chat first, I'll go upstairs for a bit."

He sat up from Ellie's lap, and before leaving, he stroked Kiana's white hair, which made her so angry that she almost jumped up and bit him.

Upon arriving at the studio, he immediately noticed the still-lit screen and Kaguya sitting in front of it.

"Why are you still busy so late?"

"There are just some simple tasks left, and I don't feel the need to postpone them until tomorrow."

Turning around, Kaguya smiled gently.

"Just rest well at home; work is never-ending."

He walked over and kissed her, then Nangong Yu turned on his computer.

"My husband says that because he's busy with work, isn't he?"

"No, I'm just posting something."

"what?"

"A promotional trailer for Apex Legends."

Upon hearing this, Kaguya covered her mouth in surprise, then her expression brightened with excitement: "Is it finally going to begin?!"

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Kaguya disregarded her work and quickly squeezed in next to him.

Seeing that her husband had posted updates from all his accounts in just two minutes, Kaguya was taken aback and asked in confusion, "It's that simple?"

"that's enough."

......

The official website of Gensokyo and the personal blog of designer Nangong have been updated.

The first to discover this situation were not the players, but the game media who kept up with all sorts of news every day.

As a game company where every game is a blockbuster hit, and even Pokémon has become a global phenomenon, their news naturally attracts the most attention.

Countless tabloids spontaneously became promoters, desperately trying to grab the biggest share of the buzz.

As a result of increasing media coverage, the news quickly spread among gamers.

Many eager players immediately opened the official website of Gensokyo or Nangong Yu's account.

The latest post above is news about the new game.

Immediately, many players cheered, even though the message was just a simple line of text and a picture.

It was a blood-red flag with a sharp, angular design in the center. The base of the triangle was not a straight line, but rather two sharp, beveled edges that made its sharpness immediately apparent.

The text was even simpler; Nangong Yu only wrote one sentence.

'Are you ready, legends?'

Chapter 157 Dimensional Reduction Attack! (5k)

The big one is coming!!

[Hopefully, this will be something big, not just a small-scale effort like last time with some minor games.]

What, are you unhappy about Plants vs. Zombies, which has already sold over 5000 million copies?

Brother, I was wrong. My dissatisfaction was with another work.

[Le, Renbu Langya is at least Nangong Laozei's partner, you should at least give him some face.]

I'm ready! I'm ready!

[We're not brothers, I was actually quite excited, but seeing your smile made me lose my temper.]

Why can you send voice messages? Get out of my head!!!

[SpongeBob, let's go jellyfish hunting!]

【...】

In the morning, before even starting work, Nangong Yu was browsing the comments section, which quickly went off on a wildly different track, and couldn't help but laugh.

The netizens here are all talented and have such nice conversations; he loves it here.

"I didn't realize Gensokyo's brand influence had grown this strong."

Bronya was somewhat surprised by the data on social media. Ellie and Eden hadn't even reposted it yet, but thanks to the promotion by game media and the enthusiastic discussions among players, the message had already soared to the top of the trending list in just one night after Nangong Yu posted it.

The news about a singer who likes to wear leather pants and sing rock music was pushed to second place.

"It seems we underestimated the influence of Pokémon and Plants vs. Zombies."

Sitting next to her, Kaguya also sighed.

Moreover, these two games are Gensokyo's biggest cash cows. After recently opening up some avenues for IP licensing, the speed at which they make money is faster than printing money.

"Isn't this fine too?"

Hearing that somewhat casual voice, Bronya immediately rolled her eyes at him: "The higher you stand, the harder you fall. Players can elevate you to godhood, but they can also bring you down."

"Don't worry~"

He walked behind Bronya's workstation, wrapped his arms around her neck over the back of the chair, and let his hands hang down into the abyss. Bronya glared at him quickly, but he didn't say anything. He just quietly moved the chair to hide himself more concealed.

"I'm not the kind of person who can handle players. I understand the principle that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. In Gensokyo, the only people who can actually make decisions are you, me, Kaguya, and Seele. Anti-Entropy only distributes money and doesn't manage things. There are no fat-headed investors interfering, so don't worry too much."

At this point, Nangong Yu joked again: "At worst, we can just weld the altar to my feet, then it won't fall off."

"Pfft~ What do you mean by welded to your feet? You're so narcissistic."

Kaguya chuckled to herself, and Bronya couldn't help but laugh too, giving her a reproachful look. That hint of flirtatiousness made Yu lower her head involuntarily.

Click.

The office door opened, and Mei walked in carrying a folder.

The high-waisted jeans cinched the hem of her pure white shirt, and she wore purple glasses. With her curvaceous figure and tall stature, she exuded the air of an intellectual beauty.
