Chapter 176: Piggy Girl

“Jiang Shuyan favorability +35!”

“Target’s current favorability: 90. Reward: 1000 Strategy Points! Host, please continue your efforts to successfully win over the target!”

Tongzi-jie’s voice rang out at just the right moment. So it seemed the age-old “hero saves the beauty” routine still worked wonders.

Though Jiang Shuyan hadn’t said anything like “I’ll devote myself to you,” judging by her reaction, she was definitely thinking along those lines.

This feeling—that effort brought reward—left Ye Xiao feeling pretty good. Even if, in some ways, their relationship was still transactional.

Through the foggy frosted glass, Ye Xiao admired Jiang Shuyan’s graceful figure.

Not long after, Jiang Shuyan walked out wearing nothing but a bathrobe, her steps subtly flirtatious.

But the very next second, her cheeks turned scarlet.

Because her stomach let out a loud, untimely growl.

Already shy, Jiang Shuyan wished she could just dig a hole on the spot and bury herself in it.

Everything had been going so smoothly, the mood just right—and she had to go and ruin it by being hungry.

“Um… Xiao Xiao…”

Jiang Shuyan spoke with a flushed face, clearly embarrassed.

“It’s fine, Shuyan-jie. We’ve got a long day ahead—plenty of time for everything~”

Ye Xiao drawled the last syllables and stepped closer with a smile.

Jiang Shuyan’s body was soft and warm. Just out of the shower, the scent of alcohol was completely gone, replaced by fragrant body wash.

This was likely the true definition of a “soft and fragrant moe girl.”

After breakfast, Ye Xiao stayed at the hotel.

With nothing to do today, she played poker.

As the saying goes, “winner takes all,” and Ye Xiao’s expert card skills won her plenty of smiles from the beauty beside her.

—

The next morning, Ye Xiao headed to Yun-Xiao early. Jiang Shuyan’s situation had, without her knowing it, added a great deal of pressure to Ye Xiao.

Bao Ye was just a small fry. But the people backing Bao Ye? No doubt about it—they were powerful figures.

Possibly even on par with Gu Tingyuan.

Right now, Ye Xiao could throw her weight around thanks to Gu Tingyuan’s inexplicable support.

But that kind of power didn’t belong to her.

To forge iron, you needed your own hammer.

Sometimes, Ye Xiao even felt a bit guilty about Gu Tingyuan. She’d not only slept with his wife, but also used his people and resources, all while plotting his downfall.

But then she’d recall some of the secret things Gu Tingyuan had arranged. Ye Xiao hadn’t uncovered the whole picture yet—but what she had seen was enough to make her skin crawl.

Ye Xiao first called in two programmers. They worked quickly—two websites were already finished, just waiting for her command to go live.

The demo for the new “Pokémon”-style RPG was also complete.

Early “Pokémon” games weren’t especially complex. With templates, most of it could be replicated easily. The only thing giving the programmers headaches was Ye Xiao’s demand: to make the rare Pokémon Mew appear via a bug trigger. They were used to creating bugs by accident, not on purpose—so they found the request baffling.

As for Ban Hui’s manga project, that was progressing the fastest.

Seeing that everyone was working efficiently, Ye Xiao felt relieved.

That evening, Lu Shiqing invited Ye Xiao to dinner at a countryside restaurant. This was a private meal, she said—no random guests. But Ye Xiao was free to bring someone along if she wished.

That obvious hint was so blatant that Ye Xiao didn’t even have to think twice to get the message.

But truth be told, she was feeling worn out lately. Jiang Shuyan’s demands had been… intense. On the surface, she seemed like a sweet, gentle, cultured older-sister type. But in that regard, she had caught Ye Xiao completely off guard.

Maybe she had finally broken free of her emotional chains. Maybe she felt liberated at last. Maybe she was just venting years of bottled-up stress—or maybe it was all of the above.

It wasn’t just Jiang Shuyan. Ye Xiao also had to make time to soothe other older sisters in her circle. If someone mapped Ye Xiao’s daily schedule across Binhai City, they’d probably find she was one of the busiest people in town.

So, even though Lu Shiqing had made her intentions clear, Ye Xiao surprisingly had no appetite for that kind of thing today. Instead, she brought Shen Yunchu along.

Sure enough, the moment Lu Shiqing saw Shen Yunchu, a trace of disappointment flashed across her face.

But after a moment’s thought, she changed her tune. As a businesswoman, adaptability was key to handling any situation.

Before sitting down, Lu Shiqing made a quick phone call.

“Big Sis Lu, you’re such a busy woman—how come you suddenly have time to invite me to a countryside dinner?”

“Well, you see, since you acquired Jiyin Film, someone’s taken an interest in your Yun-Xiao Studio. Recently, they asked me to help them get in touch with you. It seems they’re interested in acquiring Yun-Xiao.”

“An acquisition? But didn’t you say this was a private dinner?”

Ye Xiao rested her chin on one hand, pretending to ponder. If the price was right, she would consider selling.

But she doubted anyone in Binhai could offer a price that would satisfy her.

Because “My World” (Minecraft), the game she’d launched in this world, had already sold 300 million copies globally in her previous life, even before her time-travel. In China alone, the notoriously greedy NetEase had racked up 300 million free users.

The game had huge potential—across every metric.

With 300 million copies sold and current digital platform revenue shares, Ye Xiao could expect to make nearly 19 billion yuan. A successful game IP’s value went far beyond just game sales.

Regional licensing fees and brand collaborations alone could bring in enough passive income to make your hands cramp from counting.

If she were to sell Yun-Xiao, her minimum asking price wouldn’t be a cent less than the $2.5 billion USD, Microsoft had paid to acquire “Minecraft”.

And let’s be honest, not even Gu Tingyuan or the Lu family behind Lu Shiqing could casually cough up $2.5 billion to buy a game company.

Anyone trying that would be ridiculed by the industry as a rich idiot.

After all, not everyone had Microsoft’s insight and long-term vision for internet projects.

“Well, it just so happens the other party was free today, so I had them come over. Xiao Xiao, you just bought Jiyin Film—you must be strapped for cash, right?”

“Xiao Xiao, when did you buy a company again? I had no idea! Wait—Jiyin? That Jiyin?”

“That’s right. The very one you’re thinking of, Yunchu-jie.”

Shen Yunchu looked at Ye Xiao in surprise. How had she pulled off something so big without even telling her?

Before long, a father and daughter pair arrived at the countryside restaurant.

Once seated, Lu Shiqing immediately introduced them.

“This is President Zhu, and this is his daughter, Zhu Zhu.”

Ye Xiao looked over. Just like her name suggested, Zhu Zhu was a little chubby. Her features were cute, and she had a refined look—a classic “piggy girl” type. But not Ye Xiao’s type.

So she just glanced once and lost all further interest.

After all, not every girl could catch Ye Xiao’s eye.
