#274 - What happens when the mother-in-law and son-in-law team up to play games (2 in 1 order requir
After that, they officially started the game.
Recently, because Liu Lan relaxed her surveillance of Liu Mengyuan, and also knew that she couldn't prevent the two from living together, Wang Su's monitoring mission was suspended. The main task of Wang Su and the bodyguard sisters was to help Liu Lan grind the game.
After the four-person team was formed, Wang Su and Lu Yu exchanged a few words in the team channel.
However, Wang Su was still very wary of Lu Yu.
Because she remembered the experiences of being tricked by Lu Yu with various strange little animals before...
Before today's live broadcast, the four people in the team had already grinded their accounts to the level where they could challenge the final BOSS.
Moreover, in terms of the plot, they had already finished the Akihabara idol street. Mo Xiaoxuan collected all the Bonds of Heart, and everyone began to advance towards the tower where Shenyi Company was located.
On the way to the final battle location, Liu Lan started chatting in the team channel, saying a sentence or two:
"This Little Feather... I seem to have seen you when I played games before. What is your relationship with Little Yuanyuan?"
Lu Yu generously admitted: "I am her boyfriend."
Su Su: "!!!"
Call me Sister: "..."
So direct?
Liu Lan's face twitched, and she continued to type and ask:
"I heard Little Yuanyuan say that you are the boss of a game company. Software companies should be very busy. Do you have time to manage your life?"
The live broadcast comments complained: "Rich woman sister seems to be very concerned about Little Feather."
Lu Yu thought to himself, since involution is popular in this world, then the audience must like those positive and very involved answers, right?
However, since he wants to create a rotten program effect, he certainly can't show that he is very positive. We have to go against it.
So, he yawned and waved his hand:
"On the contrary, I just manage my work casually in my spare time."
Liu Lan was shocked. This kid can bring the company to this level just by managing his work casually?
But she didn't think Lu Yu was lying or bragging, because according to Wang Su's report, Peach Blossom Village does go on team-building outings from time to time, and is very leisurely.
You know, she has put in a lot of effort to maintain such a large business as the Liu Group from collapsing, and she has no time to travel around.
Lu Yu can make the company so big while traveling around, then there is only one possibility:
He has extremely outstanding management skills!
Liu Lan was amazed, but she quickly concealed the surprise on her face:
"It can be seen that you seem to be a person who values life very much. So, in your mind, what should the ideal life be like?"
Lu Yu thought for a while and continued to type:
"The ideal life, in my eyes, is to be able to enjoy life in peace and not be troubled by too many worries. If I want to play games, I have enough time to play games. If I want to eat delicious food, there is someone who can cook for me waiting for me to go home."
After he typed these words, he smiled happily. How about it, is it rotten enough?
Liu Lan fell into deep thought.
If Lu Yu was an interviewer at the Liu Group, then this answer could be said to be a negative score. The ideal life, of course, is to work hard and contribute to the group.
But from the perspective of a mother-in-law, Lu Yu's answer is quite satisfactory.
Because obviously, the last sentence is the key!
In this way, he will have enough time to accompany his daughter.
Liu Lan continued to ask: "Do you... have any life goals? Not just in the game, but also in reality."
Lu Yu yawned and continued to be lazy:
"The goal itself is a pseudo-concept.
The purpose of being alive is to constantly pursue the things you like, live wonderfully, and not be bound by mediocrity. I think I should find a way to live that makes me happy. That's enough.
Once you set a goal for yourself, you will fall into a kind of obsession."
"..."
Liu Lan fell into deep thought for a moment, vaguely realizing that this young man was really terrible!
She herself was almost persuaded by this statement.
"Fall into obsession..."
Liu Lan also remembered the days when Pei Yu ran away from home. In fact, she could already feel a lot of signs, but because she was busy with work, she missed the opportunity to notice that her husband was not right.
Thinking of this, Liu Lan suddenly woke up!
No, I clearly came to test this kid, how could I be persuaded by this stinky kid?!
She calmed down for a moment and continued to ask:
"If one day, you find that Little Yuanyuan is being bullied in the game, what will you do?"
"I will make the other party regret downloading this game."
Lu Yu blurted out subconsciously.
Liu Lan curled her lips and smiled: "Won't others think you are being biased?"
Lu Yu thought to himself, this isn't a debate, what are you talking about long speeches for?
I'm just being biased, what's wrong with that?
Lu Yu thought for a while and continued to explain:
"This is not about being right or wrong, but it just shows that I fully trust Little Yuanyuan's character. She is impossible to do unreasonable behavior, so it must be the other party who provoked first. I am just executing justice."
Liu Lan was slightly moved again after hearing this.
Originally, the standard answer she expected was that Lu Yu would reason with the other party, and then give a long speech balabala, but she didn't expect Lu Yu to directly use force to subdue them.
However, Liu Lan was a little relieved. It's good to be protective, which means that this man is not easy to mess around with other women and become a central air conditioner.
After arriving at the maze entrance of Shenyi Company's headquarters, Liu Lan asked the last sentence:
"It can be seen that you are a person who understands life, but if career is important to Little Yuanyuan, can you understand and support her career pursuit?"
"Of course I understand. It should be said that if her career is successful, I can concentrate on playing games and petting cats at home."
The barrage went crazy: "Hahahaha, so true."
Half of what Lu Yu said was for the rotten program effect, and half of it was indeed from the heart.
There is an old saying that goes well—
Young people don't know the benefits of rich women, they mistakenly regard girls as treasures,
Young people don't know the fragrance of soft rice, they mistakenly put their youth upside down.
Liu Lan, however, began to think seriously, this stinky kid's answer seemed perfunctory, but in fact, it contained profound mysteries.
This shows that he cares very much about his daughter's career and dreams. What does it mean to want to do whatever he wants at home? It means he has achieved financial freedom.
Maybe this whole Peach Blossom Village company was created by him to realize this girl's dream.
He's willing to go to this extent for his daughter...
……
Liu Lan thought, and came to the destination - the foot of the Shenyi Company Tower.
This cyberpunk-style tower stands in the center of the city, like a sharp sword piercing through the clouds.
The entire building is like a black giant, surrounded by buildings, as if it were a lonely fortress in the dark.
The Word Spirit Particle Emitter at the top of the tower is constantly rolling various information flows and mysterious symbols.
Crackling crackling crackling...
Endless Word Spirit Particles are projected and spread to the surrounding areas of the city.
Game NPC Mo Xiaoxuan glanced up and tsked:
"Not good, this woman is about to complete the final invasion of the Word Spirit Network, we must hurry!"
The interior of the tower is a maze woven from steel, electronic components, and virtual projections, filled with the buzzing of electronic equipment.
Each floor of the tower has different functional areas, from human body laboratories to medical dissection rooms to biochemical control centers. The entire tower is like a huge and complex technological fortress, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.
Lu Yu and his team of four defeated the security guards blocking their way with words and finally arrived at the depths of the tower and broke into Liu Xia Igarashi's office.
Outside the window is an endless urban landscape and the dark night sky. This space is her center of power and the core of her evil plan.
At this time, Liu Xia Igarashi seemed to have realized the intrusion of this group of uninvited guests,
She was wearing a black professional suit, her tall figure was exceptionally straight, her long black hair fell over her shoulders, and under the flashing neon lights outside the window, her facial features were distinct, her eyes were deep and sharp, revealing an unshakable confidence.
She stood there, as if she were the queen who controlled the entire world, revealing a high-ranking arrogance, like an insurmountable mountain, making people daunted.
The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing a hint of coldness:
"Mo Xiaoxuan, Audrey Qiqi, one of you is a researcher I once relied on, and the other is a friend I have had a spiritual connection with in art for many years. Now, are you all going to betray me?"
Mo Xiaoxuan stood up: "Liu Xia Igarashi, you have been helping the wicked for many years, it is time to settle everything."
Liu Xia Igarashi sneered and ignored the other party, saying:
"Marilyn Mengyuan, your wandering outside is meaningless, hurry back, come back to my side..."
Everyone suddenly looked worried: "Miss Mengyuan..."
They were afraid that this little girl would be seduced by Igarashi again.
Unexpectedly, facing this strong woman who had imprisoned herself since childhood, Marilyn Mengyuan tried her best to gather her strength, and then angrily sprayed out her mouth cannon:
"No!!!!!!!!"
The huge "No" smashed the tables and chairs along the way in the office.
Liu Xia Igarashi was slightly shocked and shouted out her mouth cannon: "Presumptuous!"
Although the two people's mouth cannons were offset in mid-air, Marilyn's behavior still shocked the company's management.
This included both Igarashi and the board members nearby.
They had never heard such a resounding, majestic, and shocking "No" that shook the five oceans and seven continents. Since they started working, no employee had dared to confront the boss like this.
Not to mention a mere test product who grew up in the laboratory.
Liu Xia Igarashi's clothes moved without wind: "It seems that you need a new round of transformation."
The game popped up a prompt:
[BOSS Battle Started]
[This final BOSS battle will trigger a large number of gameplay combined with mouth cannons:]
[Voice Chain: Players need to quickly enter specific mouth cannon lines to form a chain effect and release high damage.]
[Mouth Cannon Action: Players need to design a series of actions triggered by mouth cannons, such as jumping and sliding through specific mouth cannon sounds.]
[Emotional Interference Field: Players can create emotional interference fields to interfere with the enemy's attack rhythm.]
[Emotional Outburst: When emotions accumulate to a certain level, players can trigger an emotional outburst to release a powerful attack.]
The next second, the floor around Marilyn Mengyuan rose, and she was locked in a cage.
This touched her feelings and made her fall into despair again.
"Sure enough, I still can't get out of here. Apart from here, there is no place for me in the world."
This little girl squatted on the ground with her knees in her arms, looking pitiful.
The barrage was swarming:
"Ah, the little baby is so pitiful, woo woo woo."
"Damn Igarashi!"
[Please launch a word bullet at Marilyn Mengyuan to encourage her to break free from Igarashi's shackles.]
In the team channel, everyone was discussing how to fight the BOSS.
Call me Sister: "...I don't know what to say, I don't have a word bullet, Su Su, you should do it."
Su Su: "I also... It's better for the eldest lady... Oh no, Little Yuanyuan to do it."
Little Yuanyuan: "What are you talking about? (Wise eyes)"
Little Feather: "(Sigh) I'll do it."
Lu Yu opened his word bullet list and began to launch word bullets continuously:
"Marilyn Mengyuan, cheer up!"
"It's not the cage that imprisons you, but life!"
The little girl raised her head slightly.
Seeing that it was promising, Lu Yu continued to launch word bullets:
"Why can't you be yourself and be that innocent you, that unruly you, the real you, without hurting others."
The latest novel is first published at Six Nine Book Bar!
"You can also be like an ordinary little girl, without sticking to the rules, eating your favorite sweets, and buying beautiful clothes!"
"You are not a commodity of Shenyi Company, break through the cage!"
"Continue to bravely say that [No]!"
"Because you already have the power to influence others!"
"The power to influence others?"
Marilyn raised her head slightly.
"That's right, you are the first person to dare to resist Shenyi Company. Other similar people have also responded to you after hearing about your deeds. This includes Mo Xiaoxuan, as well as Miyamoto Ho, Chu Xiaoxiong, and us! And more people, look out the window!"
Marilyn raised her head in confusion and found that many bottom-level employees of Shenyi Company had finally launched a riot because they could not bear the exploitation!
They held up signs such as "Raise Salary", "Vacation", and "Reject PUA" and rushed to the office on the top floor.
"We want to live, we want to protect our city, Igarashi, don't try to control us with the Word Spirit Network!"
"Reject involution, Igarashi, give us back our lives!"
"We don't want to work sixteen hours a day, we want a vacation!"
"That damn boss in our department, I don't owe him money, why does he always give me a hard time!"
"We need to settle overtime pay!"
The employees of Shenyi Company rushed into the office in droves.
However!
The next second, Igarashi launched a huge mouth cannon:
"You know shit!!!!!!!!"
These five big characters rolled down the stairs and pushed all the employees who climbed up the stairs back down.
Liu Xia Igarashi sneered and continued to launch her mouth cannon:
"Who didn't work their way up?"
"Did you think that bosses are born with this kind of power?"
"I also experienced the pain of staying up late studying, I also experienced the growth process of being strictly disciplined and reprimanded by my elders..."
Lu Yu launched a verbal attack:
"So, just because you've been rained on, you want to take away everyone else's umbrellas?"
Igarashi retorted:
"Don't stand there talking without feeling the pain, have you ever endured anything?"
"You only see my authority, you don't know how I painstakingly persevered."
"There are countless descendants coveting the position of heir to the Yanagi family. Do you know what kind of hellish trials I went through to seize the position of heir?"
"I have indeed achieved it now. I have assets of trillions, I can buy everything you have, including your lives."
"That's right, my authority should be absolute!"
A barrage of verbal attacks directly pushed the rebellious employees of Shenyi Company into retreat.
Amidst this chaotic battle, suddenly there was a crisp cracking sound.
Everyone looked closely and their faces turned pale.
It turned out that although Marilyn broke through the cage with her verbal attacks, the shockwaves of the verbal battle also affected her.
Her frail little body crashed through the glass and fell towards the ground below.
Lu Yu, controlling the protagonist, shattered the glass of the skyscraper and fell together with Marilyn.
During the fall, Lu Yu grabbed Marilyn's little hand.
"Waaah, are we going to die?" Marilyn was frightened and panicked.
Lu Yu: "Miss Marilyn, now, only your verbal attack can save us, and the citizens of the entire New Alphaca City. Say it, say the words that you've been holding in your heart, wanting to say but not daring to..."
Marilyn closed her eyes, and various experiences in her short life flashed by like a revolving lantern.
Encouraged by Lu Yu, she felt an emotion accumulating in her chest, finally pouring out:
"My fate! Is in my hands! Not heaven's!"
Boom!
The huge verbal attack cut through the sky, and the reaction force carried Lu Yu and Marilyn back up, flying back into the office.
"Miss Marilyn is revived!"
The employees once again rushed in like they had been injected with chicken blood!
Although feeling incredulous about all this, Igarashi was still stubbornly resisting:
"Why do you employees think it's easy to be a boss?"
"You all have to climb up step by step."
"The company is a place to train you, not a place for you to live in luxury."
Soon, the employees of Shenyi loudly retorted:
"But we don't want to work overtime day and night without pay."
"We also don't need to do menial work like serving tea and water, picking up the leader's children, and cleaning."
Igarashi: "This is training, don't you understand?"
Employees: "The salary is low and we have to suffer unnecessarily, you call this training?"
Igarashi: "I personally built this company, you have no idea the hardships I've endured!"
Employees: "We don't care about the hardships you've endured, we just want to work happily."
Igarashi: "As the saying goes, no pain, no gain. If you don't suffer, how can you be happy?"
Just then, a verbal bullet fired by Lu Yu at Igarashi directly ended this verbal battle:
"But... are you happy?"
These soul-piercing words directly stunned Igarashi.
"Enough!"
Completely broken down, Igarashi recalled the painstaking efforts of these years.
To manage Shenyi Company well, she had to approve those meaningless documents day and night.
She had to attend all kinds of banquets with big shots, vomit all over the floor when she got home, and secretly clean it up herself.
As the heir to the Yanagi family, she couldn't let go. The higher she stood, the more she carried on her shoulders.
She was constantly pretending,
Pretending to be strong when she was vulnerable,
Pretending to be happy when she was sad,
But she had to pretend. Life was forcing her to pretend.
How much she wished she had the right to be weak, to vent, but in the eyes of other members of the family, this was all selfish behavior.
...
At this time, Liu Lan, who was watching the game live stream, also stared at the screen in silence.
In that instant, she felt her figure overlap with the figure of that Igarashi in the screen.
She recalled the last words Pei Yu had said before leaving home more than ten years ago:
"Lan'er, you're pushing yourself like this, and you want me and Yuan Yuan to accept all this, are you really happy?"
And Igarashi in the game, after completely breaking down, began to squat on the ground and talk to herself.
"Although, I want to be accepted, and I want to be accepted by this world.
It is precisely because I don't understand all this that I want to transform it according to my understanding.
Now, there's no turning back.
I can no longer make up for the past, and I can no longer correct it.
The mask called the head of the Yanagi family is already embedded on my face."
Lu Yu:
"You are an ordinary person, but, a capable ordinary person,"
"You have the ability to make this world a better place,"
"You also have the ability to stop this cycle of evil and save New Alphaca City."
After being broken through by Lu Yu's therapeutic verbal attack, Igarashi sighed and said to everyone with a tired face:
"I'm sorry, I'm a rotten boss. It turns out that inadvertently, everything was ruined..."
Lu Yu:
"Time will heal everything, including your relationship with Miss Meng Yuan."
"As long as you are willing. And, I'm here."
"After all..."
Lu Yu fired the last verbal bullet at Igarashi:
"I'm here to join this family, not to break it up."
Barrage: "???"
Little Yuan Yuan: "!!!"
Su Su: "???"
Call Me Sister: "??????"
