Chapter 231: Chapter 91: Isn’t Playing Games Fun?
Chen Ze rested his chin on his hand, watching Lafra and Naruto. They had finished their lunch, and on top of the stinky mandarin fish, Chen Ze had added curry chicken and a bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup.
However, it wasn’t the kind of egg drop soup you’d find in schools where the pot seems full, but when served, the egg flowers are barely visible.
"Lafra, how do you feel?" Chen Ze asked curiously, looking at Lafra.
"I think it’s so-so," Lafra answered frankly, not pretending to mindlessly praise him because he was her boyfriend.
"What about you, Naruto?" Chen Ze wasn’t bothered, knowing that it was only average, although he had still tried to improve his cooking skills this time.
That’s why Chen Ze specially picked a larger fish and made it a bit redder in color.
"Hehe..." Naruto scratched his head foolishly and then glanced at Chen Ze with some hesitation.
"Master-in-law, although the stinky mandarin fish is also pretty good, if I had to choose, I’d still pick the curry chicken," Naruto said, leaving Chen Ze slightly disappointed, but only just a tad.
After all, Chen Ze was aware that his cooking didn’t align with Japanese tastes since most Japanese cuisine is light.
Only a few dishes are strong-flavored, but still, the failure of this attempt was somewhat frustrating.
"Boss..." Betty walked down from the second floor, clutching her stomach in pain.
Chen Ze raised his eyebrows, was it really that serious? Did Kuro Matsushiro have such a powerful effect?
Might as well inform the exorcists that in the future, when making movies, just pour Kuro Matsushiro into the devil.
Since even Head & Shoulders could be used to defeat monsters, Chen Ze felt that he wouldn’t be surprised to see someone trying to destroy the Earth with Coca Cola in the future.
Moreover, Betty was indeed a genuine succubus, the only one in the world, which matched the exorcism requirements perfectly.
If one can doesn’t work, then try two; if two don’t work, try four; if four don’t work... then it’s really not going to work.
After all, experts have found that humans can die from drinking too much water, but that’s based on you consuming a ton of water in one day.
"I can’t take it anymore..." Betty gasped, leaning against the wall.
Chen Ze couldn’t help but glance at his girlfriend, who seemed to easily have a solution to this problem.
But as soon as Chen Ze turned his head back, he saw Lafra intently explaining the method of casting a Tornado spell to Naruto.
Chen Ze scratched his head; it seemed that this problem couldn’t be resolved for the time being.
However, Chen Ze suddenly noticed something on Betty’s hand, a mark of sorts.
Then Chen Ze remembered the mealtime they just had, which had taken at least half an hour. So the question arose, what had Betty, the succubus, been doing upstairs?
"Is 648 enough?" Chen Ze suddenly asked.
"Boss, I am so miserable... Huh?" Betty froze, the plot wasn’t following the script. This wasn’t how things were supposed to unfold.
According to the script Betty had just rehearsed in her mind, Chen Ze was supposed to worry and feel guilty, and then Betty would say that only by spending money could she be happy, followed by Chen Ze painfully taking out his wallet.
Why did you flip your cards over when I haven’t even gotten my line out? Are we still playing this game? That’s so cheeky, jerk!
"Two 648s, and not a penny more," Chen Ze peered at his bank account balance, realizing he would need to find some time to set up his stall again.
"Manager, take a break, I’ll tidy up right now~" Betty immediately started to busily clear away the dishes, making Chen Ze’s mouth twitch.
Chen Ze found that Betty really had let herself go. The old Betty was so nice, shy and meek, but now she was like a goofy Husky.
Then, when Chen Ze remembered that a second silly dog was sleeping upstairs, he felt a bit of a stomachache, unsure how this dog, along with Nina and Lafra, planned to handle things.
"Manager, speaking of which, did you upload the game Lindsay made?" Betty asked curiously while washing dishes in the kitchen.
"I did, took advantage of the time we had internet access to upload it to Steam." Chen Ze calmly sipped his Coca Cola, truly, the canned ones are the best.
"Eh? Manager, you can upload games to Steam?" Betty looked at Chen Ze in surprise. She had tried it herself before, but found that she had to fill out a lot of stuff, and of course, the main thing was that she had to pay, and Betty didn’t have any US dollars.
Chen Ze silently turned his head and continued grilling eel, this was his dark history, something he really didn’t want to mention.
In his reckless youth, Chen Ze had made a game and wanted to upload it to Steam. He had spent half a day and even made a special trip to the bank to get it done.
In the end, his game couldn’t even pass the review process, which was a very real setback.
"Betty, have you watched ’Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day’?" Chen Ze quickly changed the subject.
"Not yet, that movie hasn’t come to our city, I guess we’ll have to wait a while." Betty was a bit disappointed, she had heard it was really well made (as per Chen Ze), with great special effects (still Chen Ze’s words).
"Is that so? Then would you like to?" Chen Ze suddenly smiled happily.
"Manager, there are no good outcomes for spoilers!" Betty looked at Chen Ze with hollow eyes, she didn’t want to be spoiled, lately she hadn’t even been going out.
Little Onion was an UP主 on Bilibili and also a livestreamer. As a streamer, the most important thing was to catch the attention of the audience.
While other streamers were acting cute, selling their looks, or doing mukbangs, Little Onion chose to be a streamer who reviews niche games.
And indeed, he managed to attract an audience, with over ten thousand fans tuning in to each live broadcast.
"Dear viewers, today we’re going to do what we always do and look for the newest games listed on Steam~" Little Onion skillfully opened Steam.
"I have to say, I’ve entered a bit of a game drought recently, I’ve played through most of the single-player games." Little Onion glanced at the chat and answered questions from viewers while continuing to scroll through the game list.
"Eh? Look at this, everyone, a new horror game, ’Weird (Early Test)’, let’s see... it’s from a domestic game studio!" Little Onion was a bit surprised; indie games from China weren’t uncommon, with titles like ’Chinese Parents’ or ’ArcheAge’ being great works.
But horror games... except for a few, others weren’t really noteworthy.
"Quick, I want to see Onion play a horror game!"
"I just came from Hastur’s stream, is it that thrilling?"
Onion was a bit envious; Hastur, after all, was a big streamer and also a beautiful girl who had crossed the Dimensional Wall.
"Alright then, as requested by the viewers, let’s play this game today!" Onion skillfully changed the name of his room to ’Trial of a Domestic Horror Game’. As a streamer, he knew exactly how to attract the players’ attention. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
"Dear viewers, look at this, the game is three gigabytes in size, quite large for an early test." Onion was a bit excited.
After the download was complete, Onion couldn’t wait to click on the icon with an eye on it.
As the screen went black, the game officially started.
