Chapter 241 – General Assembly

We didn’t have many opportunities to talk during the five-day journey, so today was the first day I really got to interact with them.   Cloud Journey tells the story of a girl named Gloudy on a journey of self-discovery and finding her sense of belonging. His parents got married at a young age, and now they were only in their late twenties, not much older than Mei Fang when he died.    

Yukino seemed to have a favorable impression of her. Perhaps, with her words, she is implying that she doesn’t need any further probing.  Born with a different appearance from the residents of the Holy Kingdom, she was exiled. Initially alone, she was filled with inferiority and confusion, always avoiding others. As they continued to cultivate their friendship, Mei Fang had the idea of turning Lin Youxi into his own game development tool.      

Now, back to Aisha’s expression. The reason for this change was undoubtedly Yukiho’s presence. The destination I aim for lies ahead.     Despite being ostracized, Gloudy maintained a kind heart. After rescuing an injured crow, she became friends with it. While Mei Fang and Lin were conversing, Yue suddenly stood up, covering her mouth, and made a face as if she was about to vomit.     

Mei Fang, who has the mindset of an adult, can understand Lin Youxi’s father’s intention to remarry at this time. What’s wrong?        With the crow as a catalyst, Gloudy met all sorts of people and made many friends. One friend informed her of a realm above the clouds where others like her lived, prompting Gloudy to embark on a journey to find this kingdom above the clouds. When I sat down at the table, everyone had uncomfortable looks and didn’t move to sit. The reason was not explained within the game.  

In the game, Cedric was the Knight Commander of the Royal Knights as well as the head of the Count house. Rod, Rod! Are you okay?       Throughout her journey, Gloudy traveled to many places, solved various puzzles, and gained friendships and personal growth. She gradually developed a strong sense of independence, becoming confident and outgoing. However, upon reaching the distant kingdom, she found only ruins. The results of today’s written exam will be announced one week later. From this elevated position, I swiftly swung my sword mid-air.   

In order to prevent this child from having any regrets about her childhood, Mei Fang naturally wanted to fulfill Xia Yuan’s wishes.    If Gloudy hadn’t formed all the necessary 【Friendships】 (similar to rewards from important side quests) along the way, her journey would also end among the ruins, with her friends who had bonded with her appearing in the final scene to accompany her. It’s the name of mankind’s last fortress city, a mixture of metal and stone. The amount of money required for the this was enormous.   

It wasn’t not me who died, but the character I was controlling on the game screen. The excruciating pain seems to come in waves. Okay!   But if Gloudy had forged all the necessary 【Friendships】, her friends wouldn’t just accompany her—they would also help her discover a hidden dream gate. Through this gate, Gloudy would see her homeland as it once was, along with its residents and her family. Xiang Xiaoxia poked her head out of the kitchen and asked Mei Fang, who was playing video games with her sister. She must be happy.  

It wasn’t not me who died, but the character I was controlling on the game screen. The excruciating pain seems to come in waves. Okay!   In this lengthy hidden chapter, she would learn the history of the rise and fall of the Cloud Kingdom and discover that she is its last remaining citizen. She would then carry on the wishes of her parents and kin, living a happy and fulfilled life. The results of today’s written exam will be announced one week later. From this elevated position, I swiftly swung my sword mid-air.   

It wasn’t not me who died, but the character I was controlling on the game screen. The excruciating pain seems to come in waves. Okay!   Cloud Journey has a straightforward and clear storyline, with the theme essentially being a tale of personal growth, similar to the story of the ugly duckling transforming into a swan.

In this life, although it’s not necessary to work like last time, having a good educational background is still essential.             It doesn’t aim to convey profound philosophy. The narrative Mei Fang designed was intended to leave players with a warm feeling and a smile, emphasizing the atmosphere created by the art, interactive environments, and music to provide a good interactive experience. In this life, although it’s not necessary to work like last time, having a good educational background is still essential.           

In the game, Cedric was the Knight Commander of the Royal Knights as well as the head of the Count house. Rod, Rod! Are you okay?       Judging by Yue Xinyi’s feedback, Mei Fang’s design seemed relatively successful. Marie turned her large eyes towards me and smiled slightly. Even if it wasn’t my own experience, I thought it was a terrible story.   

However, all of this was merely an illusion on the surface. Very few students in the class have seen the real Lin Youxi. So cute!      Mei Fang got quite the beating from Yue Xinyi. After all, Yue Xinyi had grown up consuming all kinds of novels and manga, gaining a vast amount of experience. Support the translator by reading @ gemnovels, com

Mei Fang, who has the mindset of an adult, can understand Lin Youxi’s father’s intention to remarry at this time. What’s wrong?        Her punches were nothing like Xia Yuan’s playful taps on the chest—Yue Xinyi’s hits really hurt Mei Fang. Support the translator by reading @ gemnovels .com

Vorenus entered the room and saw Maximus sitting at the edge of the bed. Frontinus, do you see anything else that needs attention?     “Scumbag Mei Dog, do you even have a heart?! I worked so hard playing as Gloudy, why couldn’t she get a happy ending in the end?” Support the translator by reading @ gemnovels, com

It was a few days ago when he heard that a new lord would be coming to the neglected lord’s mansion. N-No, it’s… not a problem at all.  “Gloudy isn’t that pitiful… Ro, Yale, and Wood are still with her in the end, isn’t that a happy ending?” When I sat down at the table, everyone had uncomfortable looks and didn’t move to sit. The reason was not explained within the game.  

It wasn’t not me who died, but the character I was controlling on the game screen. The excruciating pain seems to come in waves. Okay!   After venting about Mei Fang’s script design, Yue Xinyi became somewhat reflective. “Originally, I thought you guys were just making some money-grabbing, fun games. But it turns out you can actually create something artistic. This Cloud Journey feels like it opened a new door to a different world for me. I never imagined a game could be made like this.” We didn’t have many opportunities to talk during the five-day journey, so today was the first day I really got to interact with them. 

It seemed that Yukino had grown closer to Aisha. As I watched with interest, numbers in light blue appeared on the back of her hand.     “Of course! With our Mei Fang’s gaming experience…” Xia Yuan began to praise her childhood sweetheart, boasting to everyone around them. Yue Xinyi, watching this, tugged on Lin Youxi’s arm. Before long, the three hundred soldiers shouted and rushed towards the farm 100 meters away. He saw the situation and calmed down.   

After seeing Liang Meijuan and Lin Youxi off, Xia Yuan finally relaxed her previously tense mood. I’m not forcing Them. Tha is good!   “You’re just going to stand by and watch?” Yue Xinyi asked. With Melfina as an example, the marriageable age in this world was quite early. Hello, I’m Melfina. Can you tell me your name? Rod!   

Never defy them. Just bow your head and endure whatever was told to you, like waiting for a storm to pass. Yes, please do as you wish.  “And what’s wrong with watching?” Lin Youxi tilted her head. The guy apologized to me, and the girl glared at him sharply but didn’t say anything more. Just then, Yukino returned to us. Of course.

The one of the porters who had been carrying our belongings all the way here timidly spoke up. Going to a convent was not a bad thing.  Yue Xinyi looked at Lin Youxi with an expression of frustration and whispered to her, “I think Yuan Yuan is just one step away from outright saying she’s Mei Dog’s girlfriend. You better not wait until it’s too late, when things are already a done deal, to start regretting it.” Support the translator by reading @ gem novels {dot} com

Hearing that the farm had a considerable number of guards, Maximus was not surprised. Vorenus, can we harvest everything in one day?   “Oh, that…” Lin Youxi didn’t respond directly. Instead, she smiled and brushed off Yue Xinyi’s concerns. “You’re overthinking it. This is just the kind of relationship we childhood sweethearts have.” Now, back to Aisha’s expression. The reason for this change was undoubtedly Yukiho’s presence. The destination I aim for lies ahead.   

Although it might be suffocating at times, it was not a big deal to me whether or not Alexis was breathing down my neck. I am Lutz.     “What the heck!” Yue Xinyi was driven nearly crazy by Lin Youxi’s “cluelessness” and “indecisiveness.” Although I had no intention of getting deeply involved and was about to leave her behind, I couldn’t say that. Should I challenge there?

In the game, Cedric was the Knight Commander of the Royal Knights as well as the head of the Count house. Rod, Rod! Are you okay?       Only Liu Xiaoyu, who knew everything, felt sympathy for her. Yue Xinyi had once claimed to be Lin Youxi’s best friend back in middle school, yet even she wasn’t told about Lin Youxi and Mei Fang’s kiss. Spartacus led his troops quietly to the Roman army camp. Spartacus led the troops to bypass the city of Capua and continued forward. 

Maximus, who had already taken his position at the front of the formation, was not surprised by this. Crixus looked down at the water  However, explaining it now would be complicated, and there wasn’t much point in doing so anyway—— Marie turned her large eyes towards me and smiled slightly. Even if it wasn’t my own experience, I thought it was a terrible story.   

Maximus, who had already taken his position at the front of the formation, was not surprised by this. Crixus looked down at the water  Mei Fang is their shared boyfriend or something… Support the translator by reading @ gemnovels ,com

The meat they bought was chicken, with a clean, fresh pink color. While traveling along a mountain, they were caught up in a landslide.  Even though the final game build was finished, the work on releasing the game wasn’t over yet. Drawn to the unexpected sight, Yukino entered further into the room. Curious about their conversation, I stopped and looked toward them.

Yukino and Aisha, who were sitting across from each other, ordered iced tea. After quickly examining Yukino, the woman called me over.   First, Mei Fang needed to handle the game’s marketing and operations. In 2012, Steam was still mostly just a launcher for Dota 2 in China, but the Greenlight^[1] feature, a hallmark of indie game development, was introduced. This system allowed independent game developers to submit their games for community voting, giving smaller games a chance to be featured on the platform. Although Lin Youxi’s dad is busy, whenever he has time, he always invites Mei Fang to their house and cooks for him. It's okay.      

In this life, although it’s not necessary to work like last time, having a good educational background is still essential.             While registering as a developer and uploading Cloud Journey on Steam, Mei Fang was also preparing related content for C Site. We didn’t have many opportunities to talk during the five-day journey, so today was the first day I really got to interact with them. 

Hearing that the farm had a considerable number of guards, Maximus was not surprised. Vorenus, can we harvest everything in one day?   Cloud Journey was his painstaking “debut” game. Although it was initially inspired by an indie game from his past life called GRIS, the story had been completely adapted to reflect Guo Yun’s growth. In this life, although it’s not necessary to work like last time, having a good educational background is still essential.           

Xia Yuan showed a bewildered expression, exchanged a few words with her mom, and then hung up the phone. Mei Fang sighed helplessly.   You can see influences from Celeste, Monument Valley, and Journey in the game. The friendship mechanic was inspired by Undertale, and the dream gate was borrowed from the later indie masterpiece Hollow Knight. These borrowed elements were not plagiarism; they were a culmination of Mei Fang’s experiences. This is how games evolve from generation to generation.

With Melfina as an example, the marriageable age in this world was quite early. Hello, I’m Melfina. Can you tell me your name? Rod!     Of course, during the process of making this game, Mei Fang also had many things he wished he could have done differently, but this feeling of unfulfilled aspirations tends to surface every time he completes a project. Because platforms can directly receive user payments in real-time, they can first receive the money earned and then distribute it.   

In the game, Cedric was the Knight Commander of the Royal Knights as well as the head of the Count house. Rod, Rod! Are you okay?       The difference this time was that the project had been completed entirely under his leadership as the boss. Mei Fang had always mocked his previous bosses for not understanding games. Although Lin Youxi’s dad is busy, whenever he has time, he always invites Mei Fang to their house and cooks for him. It's okay.      

While Mei Fang and Lin were conversing, Yue suddenly stood up, covering her mouth, and made a face as if she was about to vomit.       But just how much did he truly understand them? Marie turned her large eyes towards me and smiled slightly. Even if it wasn’t my own experience, I thought it was a terrible story.   

We shook hands, lightly shaking them once. What I feel from the other side of the screen is a world that keeps expanding endlessly.      This was the moment of truth. The decorative book in front of me had a thick cover with a metal clasp and a lock. At some point, we'd need to come to an agreement. 

As Mei Fang searched for the photos on his phone, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi quickly grabbed it to look. Yes, I came here today for this.  While Mei Fang was organizing the follow-up tasks for the game, everyone took some time to relax towards the end of the summer. They had a few good meals, all on Boss Mei’s tab, and visited various amusement parks. Just as everyone was starting to discuss heading back home, news came from Mei Yue—the company’s office space had been fully renovated and was ready for them to move in.

A sister being born and father being promoted, the twists and turns of life are truly unpredictable. Xiang Xiaoxia sighed helplessly.  Most of the core members of Mei Fang’s company were students under 18. However, leaving aside the Ximilu Studio, the actual operating team for C Site consisted of a group of part-time members Mei Fang recruited using his influence as the site owner. In this world, paper books were extremely valuable and considered treasures. Yes, the leftover parts after harvesting the barley ears.

Baimei County was a small county, and the senior officer immediately recognized some of the people as local officials. Why'd you say?  Under Mei Yue’s guidance, Mei Fang and Lin Youxi prepared official job offers for their part-time team members. Due to the rapidly growing influence of C Site, many of the part-timers from smaller companies quickly agreed to switch over and sign the offers. Although this happened when Lin Youxi was only three or four years old, she might have recalled this familiar scene. Wait a minute.  

A sister being born and father being promoted, the twists and turns of life are truly unpredictable. Xiang Xiaoxia sighed helplessly.  Although the salary wasn’t high, the experience of working at C Site was incredibly valuable. It wasn’t not me who died, but the character I was controlling on the game screen. The excruciating pain seems to come in waves. Okay! 

Although this happened when Lin Youxi was only three or four years old, she might have recalled this familiar scene. Wait a minute.    However, a small number of employees from larger companies hesitated, worried that C Site wasn’t as stable as A Site, and their current salaries were much more attractive than what Mei Fang was offering, so they remained undecided and kept watching the situation. The decorative book in front of me had a thick cover with a metal clasp and a lock. At some point, we'd need to come to an agreement. 

His mindset changed after watching a certain performance in his second year of high school. Aren’t we going to your house for lunch?   “This time, I brought everyone to Jiangcheng not only to help push Cloud Journey forward but also to gather everyone for a full company meeting. Of course, by “everyone,” I mean all the people from Lin Xi Technology and Ximilu Games, including our previous outsourcing teams—who are now officially our colleagues,” Mei Fang announced. The meat they bought was chicken, with a clean, fresh pink color. While traveling along a mountain, they were caught up in a landslide.

Peng Xue cupped her chin and watched Mei Fang, who was having intimate interaction with Xia Yuan, making a funny face at Mei Fang.     Everyone seemed a bit nervous after hearing this. His parents got married at a young age, and now they were only in their late twenties, not much older than Mei Fang when he died.    

It was a few days ago when he heard that a new lord would be coming to the neglected lord’s mansion. N-No, it’s… not a problem at all.  “We’re all still high school students, but some of those part-time employees have been working for years, right? There might even be some of those big-bellied, middle-aged programmers with receding hairlines… Won’t we, as minors, be looked down upon when we meet them?” someone asked. Mei Fang, who has the mindset of an adult, can understand Lin Youxi’s father’s intention to remarry at this time. What’s wrong?      

In the game, Cedric was the Knight Commander of the Royal Knights as well as the head of the Count house. Rod, Rod! Are you okay?       “It’s okay to have those thoughts,” Mei Fang reassured them. “These people who are officially signing contracts are the most trusted core members of the C Site team that Youxi and I rely on. Outwardly, Sister Yue Yue is the company’s legal representative and nominal leader. And besides, just by looking at us, no one can tell if we’re sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, or whatever. As long as we don’t make a big deal out of it, we’ll be fine…” In fact, they had already reached a unanimous agreement earlier, so the vote now was just a formality. These cunning Romans!         

Surprisingly, it was not Artorix but Crixus who agreed next. The Roman soldiers appeared relaxed, and Furius was equally at ease.      Mei Fang then looked around at everyone and continued, “But since this is a company we built together, you can be more relaxed here. If anyone really has social anxiety, you don’t have to attend the full meeting tomorrow. I can introduce you all online.” Support the translator by reading @ gemnovels {dot} com

Aisha then lowered her gaze, looking somewhat worried. Her back and voice trembled. And the sound of sniffing could be heard from her.   “Social anxiety? Come on, anyone who’s stuck with you until now definitely doesn’t have social anxiety,” Yue Xinyi retorted. “If anyone does, it’s just the socially awkward ones——” Yukino and Aisha, who were sitting across from each other, ordered iced tea. After quickly examining Yukino, the woman called me over. 

Although it might be suffocating at times, it was not a big deal to me whether or not Alexis was breathing down my neck. I am Lutz.     She was in the middle of roasting Mei Dog when she noticed Xia Yuan feeding Mei Fang various snacks while listening to him talk. Yue Xinyi immediately became furious.

It seemed that Yukino had grown closer to Aisha. As I watched with interest, numbers in light blue appeared on the back of her hand.     Are all childhood sweethearts so lawless these days?
