I am the savior, but I am being asked by Alicia and the others to pay me back.

"It's me, Muliangta Himeko. How's that? Are you surprised?"

"Himeko? Why are you using this number? Where's your previous number?"

The "Jizi" on the phone did not answer Eden directly, but said slowly:

"I don't know when you will be able to hear this recording. It may be a long time later."

"recording?"

"My physical condition... you know... so I want to use this method to record a message for everyone."

"Ugh?"

At that time, Eden had already realized that the person on the other end of the phone was not Ji Zi herself, but she did not hang up...

On the contrary, her heart was trembling when she heard Ji Zi's words that sounded like her last words.

"When I was recording the students, I accidentally recorded too much preaching. I hope they don't find me annoying."

"Think about it carefully, Instructor Ragnar was the same back then, always worrying about our affairs."

"Now I finally understand her thoughts."

Eden listened silently to Ji Zi's last recording, and her words were like a review of the previous content.

“Seeing the students grow faster every day makes me feel so happy that I want to cry.”

When the recording reached this point, Ji Zi choked up again and again and was almost about to cry.

"No, no, it would be too embarrassing to cry here."

"I hope that when you think of me, I will always be the one smiling and worthy of your reliance."

"..."

Even though Eden knew that Ji Zi was fine in reality, he still couldn't hold it back, and several breaths failed to calm the urge to cry.

"By the way, you still owe me a dance. I don't think I'll ever get the chance to wear that new dress I bought."

"Even though I am gone, our memories will never fade away."

"Have I ever been that person who made you hold your head high and say, 'I'm so glad to have met you'?"

"If so, there is nothing more joyful than this."

"Then... let's do this..."

After hanging up the phone, Eden could no longer hold back.

········

"Okay, okay, I'm fine, don't worry about me."

On the other side, Ji Zi was talking to Ragnar on the phone. As the former captain and senior in this life, the two had a very pleasant conversation.

"Aren't you also one of the protagonists? Even though you didn't appear in the show."

"Haha, indeed, I can't stop talking about you."

"Okay, I understand. I'll say hello to Rita and the others for you."

"Then I'll hang up first."

Just as Ji Zi hung up the phone with Ragnar, a new call came in.

"Eden? What's wrong?"

Unlike Ragnar's indifference, Eden's tone was very firm.

"Ugh... that was a group message..."

"No, I'm just in charge of recording..."

"Want me to come over? To dance with you?"

"What's going on... Hey? Did I say I owed you a dance? That's fine then."

"You want me to try on the new dress you bought? Uh... isn't it enough to have Alicia as a dress-up doll?"

"Woo! I get it. Don't be angry. That was all Ye Ming's idea."

"Well, okay, I'll contact you in the evening when I'm free in the next few days."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Zi sighed.

Then he looked at Ye Ming with a resentful look.

"What's wrong?" Ye Ming asked.

"Eden broke down and wanted to pull me to dance and put me in a new dress."

"That's great, don't you trust Eden's taste?"

Eden's dresses start at hundreds of thousands. I wonder what they would look like on Ji Zi. Ye Ming is a little envious.

“Remember to send me photos.”

Eden was fine, after all, he was able to contact Ji Zi herself, which somewhat eased the complicated thoughts in his heart.

But those ordinary players who received the calls were in a miserable situation, and wailing could be seen everywhere in major gaming communities.

333. After stacking layers of vulnerability, I was just one step away from killing him

[Have you received Ji Zi's call? ]

[I got it. I never thought a game company would do this.]

[What kind of a torrential rain of pear blossom knives is this? I'm so fucking angry and upset.]

[Great idea, don’t do it next time]

[I hope the creators will leave their addresses and I will send flowers to them]

All major gaming communities were filled with similar cries, and at one point the number of posts and replies on related topics reached nearly 10,000.

Players have mixed feelings. On the one hand, they are amazed at the existence of such creativity, but on the other hand, they hate the existence of such creativity.

Such contradictory thoughts also appeared among those who received the call and those who did not receive the call.

Those who received the call were all upset, some were crying and some were cursing, but those who didn't receive the call were asking for help in various ways.

【I didn't answer the call, can you call me back? 】

[No, I tried it, but I hung up right after the call was connected]

[I was in class! I just hung up! Damn!]

[I am also in a meeting, I am really numb]

[I thought it was a harassment call and hung up directly]

It's like a besieged city, people outside want to get in, and people inside want to get out.

Then, I don’t know which little genius said:

[I may still receive phone calls from other people in the future, but I won’t receive phone calls from Himeko anymore.]

【? ? ? 】

【I TM...】

[1 people signed in blood to make up for the call 10000/]

[Get a phone number that can be called back, gkd]

"Forget about calling back. It's too much trouble. At most I can just make another call."

"Ugh?"

Bronya and the others were surprised to hear Ye Ming's decision.

"I thought you wouldn't care."

"Haha, people have already said that we won't hear from Ji Zi anymore, so let's just try to satisfy everyone's needs."

"So, everyone's speculation is true?"

Mei said with some sadness:

"Teacher Jizi will never appear again?"

"Yeah," Ji Zi joked, "From now on I will be responsible for ordering takeout for everyone."

Ye Ming also added: "You can also look at the water dispenser."

Finally, he really saw through Ye Ming's thoughts: "This is also part of your attempt to expand the pace of public opinion."

Ye Ming admitted: "As for the preparation, the more the better."

"This is like the vulnerability attribute in the game. The more vulnerability you stack, the more outrageous the subsequent kill numbers will be."

Just as Ye Ming said, as early as when Jizi and Kiana said goodbye, the anger of many players had already turned into emotion and reluctance.

And everything Ye Ming planned in the past few days was to continuously transform their emotions, which was to increase their vulnerability.

The current pace is so fast, largely because these subtle changes in the players' hearts have not been stimulated, so the anger remains on the surface.

It's like applying a hundred layers of vulnerability, but without any hard damage, so at first glance the target's health is still healthy.

In fact, their emotional "interior" had already been replaced by the game content and Ye Ming's operation, and the only thing left was to peel off the surface and expose their inner feelings.

That is when the blood bar disappears.

"Silly goose, it's time to spread the news that the latest short film will be premiered at the game show."

"I see."

After that, there was another uproar on the Internet, and all major portals were vying to report on it, but Ye Ming was too lazy to care.

At this stage, the studio no longer needs trending searches to increase its popularity. Instead, trending searches need Ye Ming and others to verify their value.

"What we need to worry about now is what to do with the exhibition."

Bronya said, "Based on the experience of other manufacturers, how many of us creators should be present?"

Ying followed Bronya's train of thought and said, "For this version, Kiana and Himeko should really be the center, right?"

Keqing objected, “Wouldn’t it ruin the atmosphere if Jizi showed up?”

"If Kiana shows up, it will ruin the atmosphere, right?" Ganyu tilted her head and said, "Otherwise, let Keqing and Aying go?"

Zhen complained: "The exhibition of Honkai Impact 3rd has the characters of Genshin Impact go... isn't it a bit..."

Walnut didn't care about this. She just raised her hand and said, "I'll go, I'll go! I want to go play!"

Not only that, she also pulled Kiana and said, "Let's go together? Just like when we were in school, we went to the comic convention together."

"I'd better not." Kiana's eyes were erratic. "I want to accompany Ji Zi in the studio."

"Kiana..."

Seeing her sensible look, Ji Zi teased her deliberately:

"You are old enough to drink now, right? Let's have a drink in the office while everyone is away."

"Huh?" Kiana asked in surprise, "Well, that's not a good idea."

"What's wrong with that? My dream is to find a job where I can drink during working hours."

Ye Ming gently hit Ji Zi's head with his hand knife: "Do you really want to go to the water dispenser..."

"So, who of us is going?" Bronya asked.

"During the preparation phase, all of us should go. There is strength in numbers. As for the day of the launch..."

Ye Ming thought for a moment and then said:

"It's really not a good idea for Jizi to go, but anyone else can come if they want."

“So I can’t drink in the studio yet…”

"If you dare to mess around, I'll deduct all your bonus this month."

The seriousness of working hours must be maintained, otherwise, if you dare to drink in the studio today, you may end up drinking in the studio tomorrow.

"Let's get a big screen here, and the matching speakers. Would you like to rent it? I want the best effect, and money is not a problem."
