Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

Feeling a little amused, Nangong Yu shook her head: "No, that's unnecessary. This treatment is already quite good. However, I'm busy with Apex recently, and it will be about half a month before I have time to do this after the entertainment invitational tournament ends."

Touching her chin, Nangong Yu calculated the time.

"Of course there's no problem with that. Besides, there are resource allocation and job changes on the reverse entropy side, so we also need some preparation time for the handover of work. You can make any requests now."

Sakura pulled out a tablet computer and said quite efficiently.

"Is that so? Since you put it that way, then I won't stand on ceremony."

The crisp tapping of her fingertips on the table seemed to relentlessly strike Sakura's heart. Several seconds passed quickly, and Nangong Yu looked up at Sakura: "There must be quite a few skilled senior modelers, right?"

Sakura nodded. With its large and powerful parent company, Entropy Entertainment certainly didn't lack talent. It was just a modeler; how many could a small card game possibly need...?

"Oh, then let's start with fifty."

Upon hearing this, Sakura's hand trembled violently, almost dropping the tablet in her hand. She instinctively asked in astonishment, "How much?"

Judging from Nangong Yu's casual tone, it was as if he were just casually buying vegetables at a roadside stall.

These are senior modelers, highly valuable resources even at Anti-Entropy Entertainment headquarters, and you want fifty of them in one go?! Even robbery wouldn't dare to be like this!

Isn't this supposed to be a lighthearted and fun card game?!

"Yes, fifty does seem a bit low, how about eight..."

"Wait, wait, fifty, fifty it is. Those senior modelers all have their own important work, and if we draw too many at once, it will put a lot of pressure on us, haha..."

I was surprised by the sheer number, not the scarcity!

Sakura was internally ranting and raving.

"I see. That's a real pity. If we don't have enough senior modelers, we can find more skilled modelers. Let's add about fifty more technically proficient modelers."

"Hmm... okay."

Having already made the promise, Sakura had no choice but to bite the bullet, pick up her pen, and write down the requirements on the tablet with trembling hands.

"Is there...is there anything else?" Ying asked, feeling a chill run down her spine, afraid that Nangong Yu would make another outrageous request.

"Of course, there's also the need to find a team that's familiar with AR device software development. Sakura, you'll be the team leader, and we'll need about fifty people."

"Ok."

This request was quite reasonable, and Sakura nodded without hesitation.

After that, Nangong Yu put forward his requirements one by one, all of which were easy to meet, and Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

That way, she can explain herself more easily.

"Oh, right, I forgot to mention, does the Anti-Entropy headquarters have any printing companies with good technology? And their anti-counterfeiting capabilities are world-class."

"This does exist."

Nodding, Sakura thought for a moment and asked, "If it's a card game, are you planning to make physical cards?"

"With AR glasses available, what's the point of having a physical card?"

Bronya interjected, puzzled.

"Hey, don't worry about that for now, just listen to me."

Smiling, Nangong Yu squeezed Bronya's hand and looked at Sakura: "And we also need the help of the AR glasses manufacturer. I have a small toy that I need them to make."

"That's all fine. I will report it to the manager truthfully."

Nodding, Entropy naturally wouldn't refuse such minor requests.

Besides, it's just printing a physical card, which can be made specifically for Nangong Yu to play with. How popular can it be?

"Any more?"

"There are no more requests, but I won't be going to North America this time."

As Gensokyo Company grew larger and larger, he, as its boss, naturally couldn't just run away.

"Ugh?"

Seeing Sakura's obviously worried look, Nangong Yu smiled and said, "What's wrong with that? Just because I can't go doesn't mean you can't come."

"We're coming to the Far East to work? But that involves so many people..."

"You don't need to bring everyone. Just bring your team of fifty. Gensokyo happens to have some spare office space. As for the modelers and the like, they can stay at Anti-Entropy and work remotely. They can just report their progress periodically."

Finally, Nangong Yu added, "I can also help with Ling's school registration."

Sakura opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded gently.

"If that's all there is to it, then it should be fine."

He secretly gave Bronya a smug look, and Bronya quietly gave him a thumbs-up on the table.

Now that we're here, it won't be easy for us to leave.

Now that you are here, don’t leave!

At this moment, Sakura still doesn't understand that the trap has already been set for her, and they are just waiting for her to jump in.

"Great! In that case, let's have a pleasant collaboration!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Hearing Nangong Yu's words, Ying breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to shake his hand.

With the business finally over, the subsequent private gathering was more relaxed. No work was discussed, and the atmosphere at the table was exceptionally harmonious. Sakura even ordered a bottle of wine, and Nangong Yu also drank a couple of glasses to fit the mood, feeling slightly tipsy.

By the time dinner was over, it was completely dark.

First, they dropped off Sakura, who was staying at the hotel rented by the Anti-Entropy team, before the three of them took a taxi back.

"Brother, you've had too much to drink."

After getting off the bus, Nangong Yu was about to walk forward when Xier grabbed her arm.

He turned around and looked at Seele with a somewhat blank expression.

He drank too much; how could he not know it?

I only had two drinks. The cold wind outside immediately made me feel refreshed.

"I do not......"

"Brother, you've had too much to drink!"

She was held even tighter, and Seele stood on tiptoe, almost face to face with him.

"..."

Looking at Xi'er's rosy cheeks and noticing the meaningful, watery look in her eyes, Nangong Yu suddenly nodded in realization and replied earnestly, "That's right, the wine Yingxuan chose was too strong, I did drink too much."

After he finished speaking, his body relaxed, he closed his eyes, and put some of his weight on Seele.

"Okay, don't worry, Seele will take good care of her brother."

Seeing this, Xi'er also took Nangong Yu's arm in a similar manner.

Bronya: "..."

Okay, okay, you're already playing around before you've even gotten back to your room, huh?

You, Little Xi'er, have a good plan! You used the excuse that Yu was drunk to take him directly back to his room. Otherwise, it would have been so late, and Yu would definitely have been held up by Ai Li and the others, and they would have kept him company until late at night before they would have let him go. There was even a possibility that he might have wandered into the fairy kingdom and disappeared for the night.

As someone with similar interests living in the same room, Bronya naturally wouldn't expose them.

She leaned over and supported Nangong Yu's other arm, smiling as she said, "Yu is too heavy, let me support the other side."

Upon hearing this, Seele immediately raised her head and exchanged a glance with Bronya. In less than a second, the two of them signed some kind of agreement in the air and smiled as they led Rain towards the suite on the rooftop.

Soon, they took the elevator to one of the few rooms on the top floor. Bronya dragged Nangong Yu's arm, reached out and touched his abdomen and chest, and after a few strokes, she found the room card in his pocket under Seele's somewhat dissatisfied gaze. She swiped it lightly and opened the door.

"Master, host, welcome home..."

A shy, trembling voice slowly rang out, and Seele and Bronya, who were still preparing their words, immediately widened their eyes. Even Nangong Yu, who was pretending to be drunk with her eyes closed, secretly opened them a crack.

A few steps from the entrance, Xilin stood trembling, her face flushed red.

She didn't dare look at the people at the door, gritting her teeth, looking as if she was about to explode with shame.

Her long purple hair flowed freely, trembling slightly with her body. Her golden eyes were filled with a thick mist. She was dressed in a battle-damaged maid outfit that barely covered anything, revealing her cleavage, lower abdomen, back muscles, thighs, lace leg rings, and suspender bra. She gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, which hung down to her ankles but seemed utterly useless.

Skirt-wearing mulberry, look at what you've been protecting! .jpg

With her head bowed, a trembling voice rang out again: "So, should we eat first, or shower first, or... or eat first..."

She opened her mouth, but her brain, already fogged up from the heat, couldn't utter a single word. Xilin felt her rationality gradually fading away.

Finally, as if hearing a string snap, Sirin's voice, which had been somewhat broken, immediately rang out: "No, I can't do it! This is too embarrassing!!!"

Crying and screaming, Xilin turned and ran, rushing towards the bathroom. When she reached the door, she tripped and her head hit the door with a thud.

"Ugh!"

With a cry of pain, Xilin ignored the agony and quickly opened the door, locking herself inside with a bang. Soon, the sound of fabric being torn could be heard from inside the bathroom.

In the living room, the girls sitting in a circle looked at each other. After a few seconds, Ellie coughed and said, "Ahem! So this counts as Sirin passing, right? After all, it wouldn't be good if we really hurt the girls' feelings."

"I have no objection." Kiana raised her hand, and the others shook their heads in agreement.

"What are you doing?"

Bronya took off her shoes and stepped on Nangong Yu's foot, telling him to quickly close his eyes, which had been wide open because of looking at Sirin. Then she and Seele dragged Nangong Yu in and asked him a question in confusion.

"Of course, it's Truth or Dare, which can enhance everyone's relationship. We've known each other for so long, I feel we should be less reserved and more intimate!"

With her head held high, Ellie continued happily, "Now that you're back, ducks, come join us! It'll be a lot of fun!"

"Let's forget about it."

Bronya shook her head, nudged Nangong Yu's arm which she was holding, and spoke with feigned helplessness.

"This guy just had a drink. Seele and I will go take care of him and let him rest. You guys go ahead and have fun."

"Drank too much?"

Ellie blinked immediately.

Is Ayu drunk? She often drinks with Ayu and Eden, so how could she not know Ayu's alcohol tolerance? Even if she drinks a lot, Ayu has never been like this before.

Kaguya, who was sitting not far away, frowned upon hearing this.
