Is this the surprise Elysia mentioned before?
The words Elysia had said surfaced in his mind, and Nangong Yu smiled as he clicked to save the image.
Honestly, this feeling was indeed a bit exhilarating, but also a little strange.
"About the matter of a celebrity with tens of millions of fans secretly being my lover"?
His mind was wandering, but just then, a faint voice slowly sounded in his ear.
"Brother, the people in this picture are you and Sister Aili, right?"
Looking at the fireworks filling the sky, Seele immediately understood something. Her originally curious expression instantly turned quite resentful. She stuck her small head between her brother and the phone, her blue eyes staring at him unblinkingly.
"...Cough, cough, it, it should be."
His gaze immediately became shifty, darting left and right, which made Seele even more displeased. With puffed cheeks, she hugged him tightly, determined to get to the bottom of it.
"What is it?"
Bronya, who was beside them, was confused and also leaned over curiously.
"Sister Bronya, Brother he... Ah!!!"
Before she could finish her complaint, Seele felt a strong force on her waist, and her body instantly lifted into the air.
"Ah, I feel so hungry. Seele, let's go make dinner quickly!"
Saying this, Nangong Yu pushed off the ground with his legs, directly carrying Seele, who was clinging to him tightly, on his shoulder. Taking advantage of Bronya's Stunned, he immediately rushed out of the room.
"Hey, wait!"
Bronya had just extended her hand in vain, and all that was left in front of her was a tightly closed door.
"..."
...
After dinner, and a full night's rest to recharge, Nangong Yu and Bronya appeared in the studio early the next morning.
"Alright, after resting for so long, let's get to work, let's get to work!"
Nangong Yu stretched a long yawn, twisted his neck, and turned on the computer host.
"I've finished the basic movements for Little Knight. How's your progress?"
Nangong Yu asked Bronya, turning his head, as Hatsune helped him open various hollow knight files.
"..."
Upon hearing this, Bronya, who had been full of motivation, fell silent. She opened her mouth, and her confident expression immediately drooped. She weakly replied, "Um... haven't finished any of them?"
She expected Nangong Yu to be angry, or show disappointment or a mocking expression, but to her surprise, he merely nodded casually: "It's your first time making an action game like this. If you could finish it so quickly, I'd be surprised."
As for the previous alahato α?
It was just that the mech looked cool and the level design was interesting; the level of action tuning in it was truly a mess.
Then, Nangong Yu softened his voice: "I just wanted to see your progress. We'll work on it together soon."
As he spoke, Hatsune had already opened the necessary files, standing in the corner of the screen, swinging her leek to take credit.
He tapped Hatsune's head with the mouse, and her adorable big head immediately beamed with a happy expression.
"Mhm, I understand."
This response made Bronya relax, and her body subconsciously leaned closer to Nangong Yu. Turning her head, she happened to see him checking the various movements of the Little Knight she had designed.
With curiosity and a desire to learn, Bronya watched intently.
She didn't know how Nangong Yu adjusted it, but Little Knight's movements looked incredibly comfortable, smoother than Dove chocolate, only...
"Little Knight should be the protagonist of this game, right?"
Bronya asked in confusion.
"That's right."
Nangong Yu nodded, his gaze still fixed on the computer screen.
"Then, aren't his movements a bit too few?"
Frowning, Bronya raised her doubt.
"Few? I think it's enough."
After reviewing the movements and confirming they were correct, Nangong Yu finally turned his gaze to Bronya.
"Adding too much can certainly make things look flashy, but sometimes subtraction can also bring a different kind of enjoyment."
"Subtraction?"
"I'll let you experience it yourself when the time comes."
Without complex layering, making simple movements to the extreme can still be well-received.
However, speaking of this, Nangong Yu suddenly remembered a joke.
Old hollow knight players teaching new players: "This is move, this is jump, this is attack. Alright, you've learned all the controls. Now let's challenge the easy-to-beat Mantis Lords!"
"Oh..."
Noticing Bronya's thoughtful expression, Nangong Yu leaned closer to her and pointed at her screen: "First, bring up the models for those small monsters. I'll show you."
Subsequently, the morning passed with the tapping of mouse and keyboard and the sound of their discussion. Bronya also watched as the various models she was responsible for improved, and this positive feedback made her so exhilarated that she couldn't stop. Work even seemed to become a form of enjoyment.
It wasn't until Seele's third angry reminder for lunch that Bronya reluctantly stopped, getting up from her chair.
Watching Nangong Yu and Seele's backs as they walked side-by-side, chatting and laughing, Bronya licked her lips, her eyes burning with intensity.
She really, really wanted to drain Yu dry, to absorb all his thoughts, all his abilities into her own mind.
After eating, they continued to work until evening before Nangong Yu finally relaxed and stopped.
"Taking a break?"
"Don't you understand the importance of balancing work and rest? I don't want us to end up with occupational diseases like backaches."
Especially his kidney, he must protect it well!
"Alright."
Bronya's voice was a little regretful, but she still obediently stopped. There was nothing she could do; she had lost last time, and now Nangong Yu was the boss!
"Why the long face when you don't have to work?"
Nangong Yu couldn't help but smile. He picked up the fruit plate Seele had cut, used a toothpick to spear a small, rabbit-shaped apple slice, and held it to Bronya's lips.
"Here, have one to moisten your throat."
After putting a piece of apple into Bronya's mouth, Nangong Yu looked back at the screen.
"Hatsune, organize the files for manhua mirror 4. The basic system framework should follow manhua mirror 3. Then, fill in the organized text and CGs. Oh, and remember to change the theme color."
Soon, Hatsune began to faithfully execute the command.
On his screen, various files began to flash rapidly.
AI is so convenient. All these tedious tasks that don't require much technical skill can be done by AI, and there are even far fewer bugs than human-made ones.
He had referenced Yuzusoft's system and UI for manhua mirror. In his impression, Yuzusoft's UI was indeed one of the most comfortable in galgames.
When he made manhua mirror 1, the system framework was already organized. Now, he just needed to slightly change the colors and option flow, fill in the text and CGs, and it would be done.
"Didn't you say you weren't working? What are you doing?"
"That's my old profession, of course."
Leaning back in his chair, he smiled mischievously at Bronya, then saw her look of disdain.
"H-game?"
"..."
He originally wanted to refute that galgames are not equivalent to h-games, but when he thought about the manhua mirror series he was making, he immediately fell silent.
