Chapter 441: Chapter 154: Humph, Tycoons Are Always One Step Behind Me!_1

"Holy crap, Chao’s strategy is seriously effective!"

At a certain university, in a male dormitory.

After successfully securing a victory, He Xi looked at the screen that popped up with the words "Congratulations on 1st Place!" and could not help but clench his fist and let out an excited shout.

That instantly triggered dissatisfaction from the bunk above, and a curse was thrown his way as headphones were removed.

"Are you getting off over there or what? My bed’s been shaking nonstop because you’re spanking your wretched noodle every day."

He Xi didn’t mind and instead stood up and leaned on the edge of the upper bunk with a smile, "Feng, let me recommend a game to you, Cloud Top! It’s so damn fun, truly exhilarating, way better than jerking it!"

"Not interested," Liu Feng retorted, picking his phone back up.

He Xi glanced at the screen and saw a layout resembling a Go board, complete with a variety of dazzling full-screen skills and the occasional gasps of cute girls casting spells, giving it a somewhat risqué edge.

Liu Feng appeared deeply absorbed by the game, soon breaking into a grin as he held his phone.

He Xi, intrigued, leaned over to watch for a bit longer.

But as he watched, he frowned slightly, "Don’t you think it’s a bit dull, Feng? Does the game really hook you that much?"

"What do you know," Liu Feng scoffed, moving his phone in front of He Xi, then gently tapped the skill of a character.

Instantly, a finely detailed 2D character illustration burst onto the full screen of the phone.

And more importantly, the sizable bust of the female character jiggled aggressively.

Then, the sugary voice of her skill rang out.

"Slaves, submit beneath my skirt! Heavenly Thunder Summon! Aaah~~"

The voice gave He Xi goosebumps all over.

"What’s with all the noise, can’t she just cast her skill without screaming? Is she like, charging up or stuffing something??"

As soon as the words left his mouth, He Xi was met with a cold glare from Liu Feng.

"You know jack shit. If you can’t appreciate it, just don’t," Liu Feng snapped.

"This game’s epic fun, man. I’ve spent less than 5000, and now I’m already crushing all the average Joe players... Look, that sucker is spamming question marks at me again... Hahaha, now he’s sending memes begging me to spare him, too funny."

"5000?" He Xi’s eyeballs nearly popped out.

Although he knew Liu Feng came from a well-off family, casually dropping 5000 on a game was more than He Xi had expected.

"Alright, if it makes you happy and you’ve got the funds, go ahead. But I’ve still got to pitch Cloud Top to you. Just check it out when you have time, it’s more interesting than your Bursting Cuteness. With bonds, Chess pieces, and all sorts of equipment Hexes, if you get on the right track, it’s thrilling from start to finish!"

"Oh," Liu Feng reacted nonchalantly, engrossed in his phone again, muttering, "Another 3000 and I can unlock the four-star skin. If the previews are right, it could show some skin, tsk tsk, interesting."

He Xi shook his head in resignation.

"With that kind of money, you might as well hire a cosplayer to come over."

"How do you know I haven’t? Hiring a girl offline doesn’t stop me from enjoying my games online. I’ll just close the door, lie on the bed, she does her thing, I do mine. That’s double the pleasure, right?"

He Xi: "..."

Even though He Xi, the indigent college student, was quite curious to hear from Liu Feng about what ’she does her thing’ meant and how exactly she’d be ’busy’,

he lost interest in continuing the conversation as he watched the rich kid deeply engrossed in the game.

He Xi had heard about Bursting Cuteness before; it had been heavily marketed even before its launch.

Seeing its performance today, it seemed to be off to a great start.

In this day and age, for a game to catch fire, it has to have either gameplay or ’gameplay’.

After intensely spectating for several minutes, He Xi concluded,

Bursting Cuteness belonged to the latter.

Without trying to persuade any further, He Xi returned to his lower bunk, scooped up his laptop, and while downsizing God Nick’s live stream window, he started up Cloud Top, putting on headphones to watch and play simultaneously.

Quietly enjoying my little game, isn’t it delightful?

...

Around 11 in the evening.

Lights out in the dorm.

But contemporary college students are well-versed in harnessing the power of technology.

Vast-capacity portable batteries, coupled with the monthly 500G data plan, enabling them to keep gaming blissfully once they turn on a hotspot.

Plus, tomorrow is already the weekend.

So, He Xi plays a little longer.

But the more he played, the more he realized the ingenious game design of Cloud Top!

From the orthodox systems, the fancy tricks, to the highly unpredictable randomness, each aspect had its own charm.

Yet each stood self-contained and respected its boundaries.

If your style is orthodox martial arts, follow the grand bond style properly, and you can secure victory.

If you favor some forbidden Evildoer’s Bible, playing tricks like Spiritual Wind Lux or Garen the Whirlwind, you can still laugh while climbing the ranks.

And if you’ve got nothing, about to starve, holding a broken bowl in front of a temple begging for food, and luck strikes, you find the dealer of fate handing you a shoe-horn-faced card, then right when the temple gates swing open, out comes a monk holding a half-frozen hard roast chicken, offering "This is what’s left, quite cold."’

After warming up the half-eaten roast chicken, you realize,

Whoa, three Gwens lined up in phase 3-1.

It’s like fate fed you the chicken; you can’t help but eat it.

No matter the style, surprises always await the players.
