When Nan Hua finished discussing matters and came looking for people, he saw this scene.
The girl was lying on the bed, holding a pen in her hand, engrossed in something she was sketching on the tablet.
Perhaps too focused, her small feet would occasionally lift and sway.
As Nan Hua got closer and was about to collapse into an embrace, he realized there seemed to be a video call connected.
"Xixi, what are you doing?"
With outsiders present, it wasn't convenient to act, so Nan Hua quietly leaned over and patted her.
"Ah!"
"Ah Hua, did you finish the discussion?"
Qiu Xi, snapping back to reality, immediately rolled over and sat up, also picking up her phone.
Nan Hua nodded, "Mm, we just finished discussing it."
After hearing this, Qiu Xi immediately reached out and tugged Nan Hua's sleeve, her tone a little anxious, "So, how did it go?"
"Mm! It went very well."
Nan Hua hadn't expected his brother-in-law to be so capable.
The ideas he proposed were also very much in line with their current situation.
Therefore, neither he nor Zhao Huasheng had any objections to their cooperation.
The final agreement was that their side would join, primarily in an assisting role, while the design would still be handled by the four of them.
The requirement was that their name would be credited upon release, and they would receive a 1% share of the profits.
"My brother asked for so little?"
Qiu Xi couldn't believe it. Given her brother's personality, was that all he wanted?
"You really do understand your brother-in-law. He proposed an additional request: that those who participate in the assistance will be paid based on their work period."
"......"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Xi burst into laughter, "I knew it!"
Her brother never loses out, no matter where he is.
This time, he was probably thinking of his buddies. Having made a profit from this opportunity, he also remembered to bring his friends along.
"Mm!"
Even without Qiu Xi saying it, Nan Hua could somewhat understand. During their earlier conversation, they had inquired about Xu Xuanming.
It was partly because of this that their discussion proceeded so quickly.
"Hey!"
"You two!"
"There are still two people here!"
"And calling him 'brother-in-law'!"
The couple, who had been silent for a while, watched the young couple grinning and finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"......"
"Cough, cough..."
Qiu Xi, suddenly embarrassed, started glancing around.
Seeing this made Nan Hua want to laugh, "Xixi, what were you guys talking about?"
"Oh... this, we were discussing the game script you mentioned earlier."
"Perfect timing! I'll show it to you too."
Saying this, Qiu Xi handed the tablet over.
Then, she picked up her phone and made faces at the two people on the other end.
Shen Yan and Ni Xue, "......"
They didn't want to either!
But if they continued listening, they might witness something... different.
They had to stop it quickly, right?
Otherwise, Xiao Xi would definitely hold them accountable later.
"......"
Finally, with nothing more to say, Qiu Xi turned to Nan Hua, "Ah Hua, how is it?"
Nan Hua didn't speak; he was watching very attentively.
The content for the first ten-odd chapters of the beginner village didn't seem like much effort to review.
In just a few minutes, Nan Hua had scrolled to the end.
"Mm, I think it's okay. I'll show it to Zhao Huasheng and the other two later."
"Okay~"
She extended her finger and tapped her drawing on the tablet, "By the way, this is something I just drew when I had some free time. You should take a look too."
"Is this the female character, the warrior?"
"Mm-hmm, how is it?"
"Not bad!"
"I didn't expect you to have this skill, Xixi!"
This was something Nan Hua hadn't anticipated. When he heard her mention she could draw before, he had assumed it was just a basic level of artistic skill.
He hadn't expected her to possess the brushwork of a master.
"Alright, you go talk to Zhao Huasheng and the others for a bit, then we'll go back together."
"Sure, wait for me a moment longer then."
"Mm."
As soon as the person left, Shen Yan started complaining.
"Xiao Xi, so does this mean we've passed?"
"Mm, pretty much..."
Qiu Xi wasn't entirely sure, but she personally felt there weren't any major issues.
After all, they were making a game based on the script, not writing a novel script.
Their project required higher quality modeling and visuals, whereas the story itself, to be honest, was suspenseful and interesting, likely carrying more weight.
"Since that's the case, then we two will wait for your news. Remember to tell us when the results are out."
Qiu Xi was puzzled, "No, aren't you going to chat with me a bit longer? I'll tell you directly later."
"No way!"
"We prefer surprises!"
"Besides, what if it's an immediate execution right then? We wouldn't be able to handle that!"
"Exactly!"
"So it's better if you tell us later."
"......"
Her reasoning was sound; what else could she say...
Unable to do anything, Qiu Xi could only nod and end the video call.
She tidied herself up and went out to find her cousin.
"Brother!"
Seeing the person sitting by the door, Qiu Xi rushed over and asked in a low voice, "How does it feel?"
Xu Xuanming smiled and nodded, "Mm!"
The result was slightly better than he had anticipated.
Now, they should be able to make those guys happy when they returned.
"It seems like it's indeed good."
Qiu Xi looked at her brother, who, despite not smiling, had laughter in his eyes, and secretly nodded as well.
"Then, won't you be busy for a long time when you go back this time?"
"It'll be quite a while."
"But being busy is better than not being busy."
"That's true!"
After chatting for a while, they saw several people walking out from over there.
Qiu Xi and Xu Xuanming walked up, "Ah Hua, how was it?"
"Sister Xi! You're the one who delivered!"
Before Nan Hua could even speak, Zhao Huasheng, who had squeezed his way out from behind, preempted him.
Qiu Xi narrowed her eyes, "Huasheng, with you saying that, can I take it that things are settled?"
"Of course!"
"Alright!"
"On your word, I'll treat you to dinner at my place later."
"Okay~ Thank you, Sister Xi~"
La la la la la~
Now she could see Yaoyao again~
Nan Hua, standing to the side, "......"
An eyesore!
