After the proposal, the Valkyrie came to the door

Qingque has mastered the essence of a seasoned office worker: she will push away work whenever possible, and if she can't, she will directly suggest hiring more laborers to share the burden.

Bronya just smiled at this.

"It's okay. You can just modify the dubbing script according to the plot and dialogue, and mark the tone and emotions to be used. It doesn't require much experience, and I will also help you check it. Just do your job with peace of mind."

"Well, that's fine."

Since the boss had said so, Qingque could only reluctantly agree.

Seeing the pitiful-looking Qingque, the gentle and kind Xier comforted her, "Cheer up, Qingque. I've written play scripts for children in orphanages, so I should be able to give you some useful experience. If you need any help, feel free to ask me."

"Waaah, Seele, you're so wonderful! You truly are the woman who could be my mother!"

Qingque felt a maternal care from Xier and was deeply moved.

Anliang, instead of complaining about Qingque's antics as usual, recalled the conversation and extracted the key points before suddenly looking at Dayaya.

"Wait a minute, Qingque has already started preparing the script, doesn't that mean she'll be doing voice acting for the game soon?!"

P.S.: Happy Dragon Boat Festival everyone, and Happy Children's Day to all those who are still young or have lost their virginity! This chapter slightly pushed back the pace. The foreshadowing that was planted when the book was first published is finally coming to fruition. Big Duck is going to write "Starving Corpse" and the protagonist's name will include the character "Liang". Fast forward to the voice acting segment with all sorts of affectionate nicknames and teasing... Hehehe, the author specially prepared this scene just to write this part!

Chapter 153 Bronya prepares to attack again!

"Now that the storyline is finished, the focus of our work should naturally shift to the game's voice acting."

Bronya glanced at An Liang, who looked slightly surprised, and seemed to understand something. A playful smile appeared on her lips.

"The lead artist needs to step up their game, or Qingque and I will have finished the voice acting but the game CG still won't be done... Hmph, you don't want to get your salary docked by the boss for being too slow, do you?!"

“As long as you don’t finish dubbing next week, I’m sure I can make it in time.”

An Liang took a light breath, a hint of determination showing in his eyes.

Qingque had already finished writing most of the plot, and Bronya could easily create a Galgame game program, so Anliang was already mentally prepared to be the slowest progressing member of the studio's trio.

But Anliang has no intention of giving up and becoming a drag on the team.

Even a failed art student has his own pride. Watch as he catches up with others through his own hard work, letting programmers and screenwriters know why art is the most important element in a visual novel!

"Oh? I didn't expect you to be so confident, Anliang..."

"But did you know that a skilled voice actor and voice director can complete the voice acting for a small-scale visual novel in just one day?"

Bronya narrowed her light gray eyes and gracefully took a step closer to Anliang. Her voice, which had a slightly childlike quality, sounded chilling to the bone.

No, are they planning to withhold my salary?!

Anliang looked at the big duck, who looked like a heartless capitalist, and spoke somewhat stiffly.

"If I remember correctly, the original plan was for us to do the voice acting ourselves, right? But neither the voice actors nor the voice directors were particularly skilled..."

"Heh, you idiot subordinate, are you underestimating Bronya's abilities?"

Bronya raised her slender, white index finger and gently waved it in mid-air, as if to extinguish the last glimmer of hope in Anliang's heart.

No, no way! Could it be that Big Duck learned all of Old Yang's skills?!

Anliang and Walter Yang have known each other for a long time in the cycle of reincarnation, and Anliang knows how powerful Walter Yang is.

Although Lao Yang always says he's just an ordinary animator, An Liang knows that Lao Yang initially held multiple positions and created the classic animation "Heavy Armor Machine Alahato," earning a lot of funding for Anti-Entropy and becoming a legend in the industry.

An animator by training, also skilled in directing and screenwriting, and a comic artist who has created well-known IPs...

Even An Liang had to admit that Walter Yang was practically the Honkai Impact 3rd version of Miyazaki Hayao, except that Old Yang preferred to draw giant robots!

If Bronya really had the same abilities as Lao Yang... even if she had to train a group of newcomers, it wouldn't be impossible for her to quickly finish the voice acting before Anliang finished drawing it.

"You really are a bit of an idiot. Haven't you realized that Bronya is just bluffing you?"

The girl, who had somehow switched to Black Seele, nudged An Liang, who was deep in thought, with her elbow without any hesitation.

Woman, what can I say?

An Liang's thoughts returned to reality. He rubbed his lower back, which had been injured by the elbow, and his gaze wandered between Black Seele and Bronya with surprise.

"Sigh, my sister's getting old, and she's starting to side with outsiders..."

After being sabotaged by Black Seele, Bronya let out a long, melancholy sigh.

Seele is innocent and kind-hearted, so it's not surprising that she would stop her from teasing the captain. However, Bronya didn't expect that Black Seele would actually come out to help the captain.

It hasn't been long, and the captain has already gotten along well with Bronya's two younger sisters. He really knows how to please girls, just like in his previous life...

Bronya recalled how, in her previous life, the captain had gained Seele's approval in just a few days, and a chill ran down her spine.

She had thought that Seele would be a helpful wingman, but now it seemed that if she wasn't careful, her younger sister might become the captain's ally!

"So, the game's voice acting can't actually be completed next week?"

Anliang was unaware of Bronya's inner thoughts and was focused entirely on his work.

This time, it was Qingque who answered the call.

"Of course! It's already Thursday. By the time I finish the script for the voice-over, it will probably be next Tuesday. Not to mention that our studio has to build a recording studio from scratch."

"I see... Wait, what do you mean we need to build a recording studio?!"

An Liang tilted his head, a look of surprise on his face.

He was only a little late, but it felt like he hadn't been to work for days and had missed a lot of things.

"Professional game companies generally have their own recording studios. Although our original studio is just starting out, it will definitely have a place in the game industry in the future. It is only right to build a recording studio as soon as possible."

Bronya explained in a flat tone, "Besides, the studio is quite spacious; it's more than enough to house a small recording studio."

"But the equipment needed for dubbing is quite expensive. Wouldn't it be more cost-effective to rent an existing recording studio than to build it yourself?"

Anliang's eyelids twitched slightly, somewhat bewildered by Da Yaya's actions.

For Bronya, who came from Anti-Entropy, it might be taken for granted that a game company would have a recording studio, but they only have a studio with three people, is it really necessary to have such a high-end setup?!

"Is it expensive? It's only a little over a million, which is quite cheap."

Bronya counted the approximate price on her fingers and exclaimed that it was outrageously extravagant.

Anliang and Qingque looked at each other, speechless for a moment, while Xier showed a slightly helpless expression.

"Well, Bronya isn't very interested in money, so she spends it lavishly. You'll get used to it."

"This is clearly a necessary expense!"

Bronya put one hand on her hip and said confidently, "We're not just making one game. Once the recording studio is built, it will be used for many other purposes in the future. In the long run, it will only bring benefits."

"That makes some sense. Well, if you need manpower to set up the recording studio, I can help."

Anliang shrugged and stopped trying to persuade Bronya.

The boss was determined to upgrade the company's equipment himself, without passing the cost burden onto the employees. There was no need to stop him, and besides, this amount of money was really nothing to Bronya.

"No need for help, Anliang, just focus on your painting. But we might need your help once the recording studio is built..."

"Um, what exactly do you want me to do?"

An Liang scratched his head. He knew absolutely nothing about voice acting, and apart from physical labor like moving equipment, he really didn't know what he could do.

"Well, you'll find out when the time comes."

Bronya gave a mysterious smile, keeping everyone in suspense, though her beautiful eyes seemed to hold the lurking presence of a hungry silver wolf.

As we all know, recording studios have excellent soundproofing, making them ideal for doing certain private things...

And that's the real reason Bronya wanted to build a recording studio in her workshop!

PS: The inability to post comments has a significant impact on both the author and readers. The bounty has been sparse for days, and the author's lack of motivation stems from not seeing comments. Anyway, I'll try my best to update from now on... Hehehe, the days of Alicia freely using the Captain are over. Next up is the giant duck, ready for battle!

Chapter 154 Seele's Desire for Control!

As dusk settled over the streets and alleys, Sky City was also bathed in a halo of neon lights.

Even without checking the time, Qingque knew it was time to leave work!

See you tomorrow, Seele and Bronya.

"Oh, right, and one more art director, keep up the good work!"

Qingque quickly and skillfully packed her things, waved goodbye to everyone, then patted Anliang on the shoulder before running away with a grin.

What's even better than leaving get off work on time is having your colleagues work overtime!

Anliang understood this principle and shook his head helplessly as he watched Qingque leave.

Ever since Qingque finished writing the game's storyline, he's also picked up some bad habits from Bronya, liking to tease him for being the slowest progressing, and not taking his status as the art director seriously at all.

Things change, and so do fortunes; don't underestimate art students who fail their exams!

When they make the next game, everyone will be on the same starting line. Anliang will make Qingque understand why art often comes first in game development.

After finishing the drawing, he would always go and wander around in front of Qingque from time to time, watching this genius mahjong girl constantly revise the plot to fit the art, so busy that she could no longer slack off!

"What are you daydreaming about instead of focusing on working overtime?"

A girl's slightly childlike, cool voice came from the side, interrupting Anliang, who was clenching his fists and making a vow in his heart.

"Ahem, I was just thinking about the composition in my head... By the way, where did Seele go? Did she leave work with Qingque?"

Coming to his senses, Anliang coughed lightly, then realized that his little painting assistant was nowhere to be seen.

Bronya spun her executive chair around to face Anliang, and lightly kicked Anliang's trouser leg with the tip of her high heel, which covered her black-stockinged feet, and said irritably.

"Seele clearly came to help me, but you're really treating Bronya's sister like your own secretary?!"

"It would be nice to have a secretary from Estonia, but Seele volunteered to help. After all, you've all done most of the work and there's nothing more you can do. I'm the only one who still has a bunch of paintings to finish."

An Liang spread his hands and gave a wry smile as he offered an explanation.

"That's true, but Seele has already gone home to cook for us, so you won't have a little helper for drawing for the time being!"

"Wow, it's so great to have Xi'er around! They've even started providing dinner for people working overtime!"

"You're making it sound like I'm abusing my employees. Before Seele came to Sky City, Bronya was already providing dinner for people who worked overtime."

Bronya looked at the captain who kept saying "Seele is so nice" and a dangerous smile appeared on her lips.

Although not to the point of being jealous of his own younger sister...

But Anliang has been talking about how great things have been since Seele came to the studio, making Bronya seem like some cold-blooded, heartless boss, which is really annoying!

The captain, such a foolish subordinate, deserves to be properly disciplined by her!

Just as Bronya was thinking about the eighteen ways to sexually harass the captain, An Liang, completely unaware of what was happening, clicked his tongue slightly and said in a subtle tone.

"Uh, Bronya, you did provide dinner, but you get tired of eating canned food all the time!"

As a true homebody, Bronya adheres to the principle of staying home as much as possible, and she's even too lazy to order takeout, opting instead for canned food.

Unfortunately, the girl really likes canned food, and she always tries to share it with Anliang.

Faced with the boss's invitation, the weak, pitiful, and helpless lead artist naturally couldn't refuse. So, the overtime meals at the Yuanli Studio were often instant noodles, canned food, and snacks, which were convenient but unhealthy.

"How could I get tired of it? China has a wide variety of canned goods, including soups, rice dishes, and more. I always try something different!"

Bronya was a little dissatisfied with Anliang's statement: "Besides, even if you order takeout, most of it is similar to canned food, it's all pre-made, right?"

"That's hard to refute..."

An Liang sighed. These days, there are fewer and fewer restaurants on food delivery platforms that are willing to cook by hand; most of them offer pre-made meals in pre-packaged form.

So Bronya's point has some merit: eating canned food and ordering takeout are sometimes not much different, and canned food may even be more expensive and cleaner.

"Bronya, do you really have to choose between canned food and takeout? Can't you cook a healthy and delicious dinner yourself?"

The girl's soft voice rang out softly.

Bronya and Anliang were both startled and turned to look back in perfect unison.

Suddenly, a girl with long, black-blue hair appeared half a meter behind them, holding two lunchboxes in her hands, her pretty and cute face bearing a half-smile.

"Uh, Seele, let me explain."

Bronya felt the pressure from her family and shrank back weakly. "We work overtime to save time. It's too much trouble to cook for ourselves, while ordering takeout and eating canned food is much more convenient."
