Collapse? No, this is daily

Seeing this, Kitahara realized that he was going to be beaten and stopped pretending. He struggled and started to say harsh words, which made Kirito and Sugisaki Ken, who were a little soft-hearted and just planned to kick him a few times, change their minds immediately.

Soon, the students who were still having lunch were surprised to see four popular boys in the school hugging each other and running towards the school playground together.

Some girls with unique hobbies couldn't help but scream in surprise and fell into endless reverie.

When they arrived at the playground, Nangong Yu and the other two stopped and tried to restrain the struggling Kitahara Iori while looking at everything around them.

A nearby green belt attracted Nangong Yu's attention. Comparing the width of the tree trunks inside, Nangong Yu gestured to Sugisaki Ken and Kirito Ye.

Seeing this, Kitahara Iori immediately began to struggle even more violently. His stubborn attitude just now disappeared. His expression became terrified, and he began to beg for mercy non-stop: "Brother, brother, please don't, please don't, I was wrong, please forgive me, I was wrong!!!"

"You are not joking at this moment."

If Beiyuan admitted his mistake at the beginning, it might be possible for a few people to forgive him. But who knew that when this guy saw that he couldn't win the argument, he immediately started to laugh at them with a sarcastic look on his face. Now he wants to beg for mercy. Is it possible?

Kirito and Sugisaki Ken each pulled apart one of his legs, while Nangong Yu supported him from behind. Under Kitahara Iori's increasingly desperate eyes, the three of them rushed towards the rough tree trunk without hesitation.

“No, no!!!!!!!!”

Accompanied by a dull sound of chickens flying and eggs breaking, Kitahara's shrill screams echoed in the playground.

thump.

The three men let go of their hands, and Beiyuan immediately fell to the mud, hunched over, covering his vital parts with his hands, looking at the three men with eyes full of anger.

He has made up his mind that he will take revenge sooner or later!

Nangong Yu raised an eyebrow at this look. He stopped Sugisaki Ken who was about to kick him twice, walked over, slowly squatted down, looked directly into Kitahara's unyielding eyes, then smiled and showed him the screen of his mobile phone.

"Don't play any tricks, I know where your home is, Iori, you don't want your parents or your sister to know that you've been to this kind of store."

On the screen was the record of Nangong Yu's spending at the last mini-game festival.

"You!!!! I didn't do anything!!"

"Yes, yes, as a good brother, of course I believe you didn't do anything. I hope your parents and sister believe it too~"

"!!!"

Iori's eyes were first angry, then dim, and finally turned into despair. Looking at the smiling Nangong Yu, Iori let out a final roar: "You bastard, you plotted against me!!!"

Nangong Yu was not angry even after being scolded. It was just the barking of a loser and there was no need to pay attention to it.

"So, this is why you bring a lighter in the morning, brother?"

At the dinner table, Nangong Yu explained the purpose of the lighter to Seele and Bronya.

"Yeah, but I was still tricked by that guy Iori, tsk."

He smacked his lips in dissatisfaction and drank the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl.

"Hmm... isn't this a bit too much?"

Listening to her brother's description, the brother in Xier's mind suddenly turned into a bad boy.

It’s bad, but I’m still a little excited.

"Indeed, Xi'er, you also think that Iori is a bit too much, right?"

"Xi'er is talking about my brother!!!"

"Hey?"

Nangong Yu looked puzzled and said to Xi'er, "But that guy has already provoked us, so we must teach him a lesson."

"But won't this affect your relationship? I remember that the four of you should have a very good relationship."

Bronya at the side also interrupted and asked.

"Ah? Isn't this a very normal thing? Why does it affect our relationship?"

Seele, Bronya: “?”

They looked at Nangong Yu, wanting to say something but hesitating. Was it their thinking that was problematic or was it the thinking of these boys that was problematic?

"Phew, I'm full, Bronya, let's get to work~"

"Ah, then brother and sister Bronya go up first, and let Seele clean the table."

The topic was changed, and Bronya and Seele stopped hesitating and stood up together.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xi'er."

"Hey, brother, keep working hard~"

In front of Bronya, Seele came over, stood on tiptoe and tapped her brother on the face, then happily cleaned the table.

Although Bronya didn't react at this moment, when the two of them walked into the studio, Nangong Yu was pressed against the door by her, blocking him from speaking without waiting for his reaction.

Bronya didn't let go of his body until his breathing became rapid. She immediately stuck out her tongue in disgust: "I just finished eating and it smells like vegetables."

"Who told you to stick out your tongue?"

Giving her a blank look, Nangong Yu pinched her soft face, then walked to her workstation first.

The two sisters' competitive spirit, although, in the end, he was the one who benefited.

Sighing secretly, he lay on the chair and looked around: "It's time to start making maps today, any ideas?"

Hearing this, Bronya paused for a moment before taking out the keyboard and responded in surprise: "Let me do it?"

"Hmm~"

Looking at her somewhat nervous and expectant eyes, Nangong Yu smiled and said, "Didn't I already draw a rough sketch of the entire map in the initial plan? Don't tell me that after so long, you don't have any ideas at all."

"Of course...but..."

The work during this period made Bronya a little lacking in self-confidence, but her voice was immediately interrupted by Nangong Yu.

"This is a game between the two of us, isn't it?"

A game for two...

The original worry disappeared in an instant, and Bronya felt down to earth again. Looking at her lover's gentle smile, Bronya crossed her arms, as if she was shy about her reaction just now, and said with a slightly blushing face and a little proudly.

"Of course I know, so be prepared to be surprised by my genius ideas!"

"Oh? Then I'll wait and see."

......

Four months passed in a flash, and Hollow Knight was announced to be completed.

Chapter 67: Propaganda

"It's a pity that I didn't make it to the Far East Game Exhibition."

At the dinner table, Bronya's voice was filled with regret.

The Far East Game Expo, along with the Anti-Entropy Game Expo, the Destiny Game Expo, and the City of Gods Game Expo, are listed as one of the four major game expo in the world. They are held in winter, autumn, spring, and summer respectively. They are four gaming events for players every year.

Regardless of the performance of "To the Moon" or the relationship with Anti-Entropy Entertainment, Gensokyo Company naturally obtained a ticket to the Far East Game Expo. Unfortunately, "Hollow Knight" was still just a semi-finished product at that time, and regrettably missed this opportunity.

"A blessing in disguise. This Far East Game Expo has caused quite a stir because of the conflict between Destiny and Anti-Entropy. Maybe we won't get any attention even if we go there?"

While eating the food that Kaguya picked for him, Nangong Yu looked at Bronya and said.

That’s right, it’s Kaguya.

Ever since Kaguya's last visit, she has become a regular here, visiting on time every Saturday and Sunday. Sometimes she will come to sit for a while on weekday evenings and chat with Xier about family matters.

Although she looks like a quiet beauty, she is actually a chatterbox.

Four months have passed, and it is visibly that Seele and Bronya's resistance to Kaguya has gradually weakened, and they have even accepted her as half a member of the family.

This can be seen from the fact that every Saturday, Xier would take the initiative to cook for four people.

"That's right. Who would have thought that these two companies were making the same type of game?"

They are of the same type, equally large-scale, and their booths are next to each other, so it is natural that players compare the two.

Different from the offline "mutual respect", on the Internet, fans of each group directly started a war of words, which was very rampant for a while. Even if they participated in the exhibition, they probably wouldn't get much attention.

"The trailer has been released, and the public opinion is pretty good so far."

“But there are also many doubting voices, right?”

Recalling the recent online public opinion, Bronya frowned and said.

"This is normal. On the one hand, I have never made a Metroidvania-like game before. On the other hand, it is the interference of other manufacturers. The game pie is so small. If we eat more, then others will have less. With Anti-Entropy Entertainment, they can't make trouble. They can only disgust people secretly in this way."

"And, from a side perspective, isn't this a reflection of their fear?"

Of course, being able to say this proves that Nangong Yu is very confident in his own game, otherwise, those manufacturers would not mind biting him hard after the game is released.

At this point, Nangong Yu asked, "By the way, have Xilin contacted those anchors? There won't be a big banner recommending Titan Games this time, so we can't be careless about other aspects of the promotion."

"Don't worry, those big anchors agreed very readily, and probably because of To the Moon, their asking prices are very cheap, and the company's funds are quite sufficient. Xilin's offer is a bit more, after all, Anti-Entropy Entertainment has given us a lot of money for publicity, and we don't have to pay for it ourselves, so why not spend it?"

"Well, that's good. I've also sent the game to mainstream gaming media for testing. According to the staff, the game's ratings are quite high."

Looking at Bronya, Nangong Yu gave her a reassuring expression: "So, don't worry, Bronya, our first game will not perform badly."

"Yeah, I think so too."

The dining table seemed to have become a meeting room for Nangong Yu and Bronya. The two of them ate and talked animatedly, making Xier, who couldn't get a word in, feel a little helpless.

Finally, Xier, who couldn't stand it any longer, reached out and grabbed her brother's arm, looked at him pitifully and said, "Brother, can we not talk about work while we eat?"

"Ah, I was not paying attention..."

Xier's voice made Nangong Yu react and he felt a little embarrassed.

I was thinking of just briefly mentioning it, but I couldn't stop talking. The meal was almost over, but the discussion was not over yet.

"Then punish my brother and make him go out for a walk with Xier right away!"

"Okay, okay, of course no problem."

The game has been completed and there is nothing to do recently, so Nangong Yu can naturally fulfill Xier's little wish.

Besides, how can taking a walk with Xier be a punishment? It should be a reward for him!

Seeing this, Bronya wanted to say something, but Kaguya suddenly stopped her and said, "Bronya, I have been very interested in this game since my last attempt. Now that it is finished, can you let me try it right away?"

"......it is good."

The request to go out together was swallowed in her throat. She glanced at Xier, who was smiling innocently and seemed to know nothing. She sighed silently in her heart and nodded to Kaguya.

Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor, and Bronya could still figure out who the culprit was that prevented her from leaving the house.

After dinner, when Nangong Yu changed her clothes and went downstairs, she saw Xier, who was wearing a light pink dress, standing at the door with her arms folded, looking a little impatient.

Noticing him coming down, he even said, "Why are you so slow?!"

This scene made Nangong Yu's mouth curl up. Xi'er has changed. He walked down the stairs and came to Xi'er's side. Looking at her impatient but shy eyes, he smiled and said, "I can't help it. Xi'er is too beautiful. If I don't prepare neatly, what if others say I'm not worthy of her?"

The teasing voice made Hei Xi blush. This girl, who usually made bold moves at night, became inexplicably innocent in this situation.

"You, what are you talking about, we should go out."

As he spoke, Hei Xi stretched out his hand towards Nangong Yu, and said with a lack of momentum: "Hand!"

Without any intention of provoking Heixi's sense of shame too much, Nangong Yu raised his hand and held Heixi's warm little hand tightly.

The walk with Hei Xi was full of novelty for Nangong Yu. The words that he usually used to tease Xier would get unexpected and interesting reactions from Hei Xi.

Sometimes when Nangong Yu teased him so much that he felt shy and didn't want to talk, Hei Xi would simply turn his face away and ignore him, but the hands they held together were still tightly held, with no intention of relaxing at all.

When night fell, Hei Xi returned home reluctantly. After inviting the girl for the next date with a surprised expression, Nangong Yu returned to his studio.

Using the excuse that she could detect a 'bug', Kaguya began her journey of suffering.

Bronya just sat there and watched without saying a word. This kind of exploration game requires one to walk out of the maze step by step by oneself in order to gain more happiness.

Moreover, she also wanted to see how players would experience her map design.

Nangong Yu did not disturb them, but sat quietly beside Bronya and watched with her.

Chapter 68 This game isn’t that difficult

A week later, Hollow Knight was officially released.
