Married to a mechanic, she shocked the world

Chapter 30: 027: Comprehensive Crushing_1 Chapter 30: 027: Comprehensive Crushing_1 Jiang Shaoyun narrowed his eyes, trying to calm himself, “Hailun, are you sure what you saw was Ghost Path?”

In Jiang Shaoyun’s view, it was Fei Xian that was the year’s biggest dark horse.

So.

The person at the top of the game recommendation list must be Fei Xian.

The one going viral was also Fei Xian.

“Mr. Jiang, I am certain it was Ghost Path! You can turn on the computer and see for yourself.”

Jiang Shaoyun turned on the computer.

As it booted up.

A news alert popped up at the bottom of the screen.

[LY Game Creation Contest Witnesses a Super Dark Horse!]
Jiang Shaoyun manipulated the mouse to click on the news.

As soon as he entered the news page, Jiang Shaoyun saw the words ‘Ghost Path.’
Clearly, Fei Xian had more strength than Ghost Path.

But now.

The game making waves was not Fei Xian, but Ghost Path!

Jiang Shaoyun frowned slightly, clicked into the official competition website, and found that the download count for Ghost Path had jumped to an astonishing three million.

Fei Xian was listed second.

With a download count of one hundred thousand.

All, bule eight thousand.

Originally, the data for Fei Xian could dwarf all other works.

But now… It was fully crushed by W!

This was highly illogical.

To personally unravel the mystery, Jiang Shaoyun downloaded Ghost Path.

After downloading, he registered an account and started the challenge mode.

The first level of the game was quite brain-burning.

The developer had laid many foreshadowing elements, along with some horror features and unique NPC settings, drawing players quickly into addiction.

Jiang Shaoyun’s expression went from initial skepticism to deep concentration.

Eventually, even his gaze changed.

With his keen gaming instincts, it took Jiang Shaoyun an hour to finally pass the first level.

Concluding the first level.

Only then did Jiang Shaoyun feel the charm of Ghost Path.

No wonder!

No wonder Hailun was so excited before.

He immediately made a call to Hailun, “Send me W’s contact information.”

He wanted to contact W right away.

“Mr. Jiang, W didn’t leave any contact information, we can only message him through the company account. However, he hasn’t replied to me for over 24 hours now.”

Jiang Shaoyun narrowed his eyes, “Didn’t you say before that W was willing to sell the game to us?”

How come he’s now unreachable?

Hailun continued, “According to my deduction, W may not be an industry insider. His definition of games seems to come from someone outside the industry who doesn’t understand it well.”

The gaming world also has its own set of rules and regulations, and nearly every game creator follows this process to produce games.

But not W.

He completely broke away from this circle, all the game rules were his own creation, carving out a unique style for himself that is impossible to copy or imitate.

Continuing, Hailun paused, “I suspect that Ghost Path might just be a side project the big shot tried his hand at. So, he really doesn’t care how much profit it brings in.”

Since he doesn’t care about profits, he won’t be constantly checking the backend for messages, which is why he’s unreachable.

Perhaps.

In real life, W might not even know that his game has already spread like wildfire across the global gaming scene.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shaoyun pinched his temple, regretting his hasty rejection of Hailun’s earlier suggestion.

This matter could be a minor issue or a serious one.

He must report it to Lu Ye immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Shaoyun immediately drove to Lu Ye’s repair shop.

“Third Brother.”

Lu Ye was fixing a bike.

A very old Big Bar Phoenix Brand bicycle.

He squatted on the ground, absorbed in his task, his cool white face emotionless, “Speak.”

Jiang Shaoyun did not dare to conceal anything, candidly recounting the entire incident to him.

“Third Brother, this was my dereliction of duty!”

“When did this happen?” Lu Ye took off his gloves, just looking at Jiang Shaoyun.

His voice was very calm.

But Jiang Shaoyun couldn’t even raise his head, let alone meet Lu Ye’s gaze.

Lu Ye fished a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it, “Speak.”

“Three… three days ago.”

“And you’re only telling me now?” Lu Ye took a drag of his cigarette, “Hmm?”

Lu Ye’s voice was inherently magnetic, and the deliberate slight rise in his tone now made it even deeper.

Cold sweat broke out on Jiang Shaoyun’s forehead, and he could barely stand steady.

A moment later.

Lu Ye’s thin lips parted slightly, “There’s a project on the F Continent that’s short-staffed, you’ll go there tomorrow.”

The F Continent is the most backward place in the world.

Not only are living conditions tough and communication underdeveloped, but Lu Ye’s project site didn’t even have water or electricity.

Normally, Jiang Shaoyun would be reluctant to go to such a place, but now!

He dared not say no.

“I’ll go back and prepare right away.”

Watching Jiang Shaoyun’s retreating figure, Lu Ye’s brow furrowed slightly. He threw away the cigarette butt and dialed a number.

He spoke in pure and fluent English as soon as the call connected.

On the other side.

Meanwhile, Hailun, who was in a foreign country, received a promotion notification, ascending directly from creative director to deputy general manager of the group.

At the same time, he was also tasked with the urgent mission of getting in touch with W.

A big shot wanted to meet W.

—
Lin Family.

The renovation of the store was completed in three days instead of the standard seven, solely because the contractor was Zhao Cuinong’s brother, Zhao Jinbao.

After the store was renovated, Zhao Cuinong discussed the opening date with Lin Wu.

Today was the fifth day Zhao Cuinong used Beauty Chant, not only were the pimples on her face gone, but the once dull skin tone was slowly turning fair.

She was now full of energy!

Lin Wu propped her cheeks with her hands, “An auspicious day that’s free of taboos brings boundless prosperity. Aunt, how about tomorrow?”

“Okay,” Zhao Cuinong nodded, “Then I’ll go buy a string of firecrackers now, and we will open at eight o’clock sharp tomorrow morning.”

“Okay.”

Soon after, Zhao Cuinong arrived at Lin Guimei’s supermarket.

“Sister, I need a string of big firecrackers and two fireworks.”

Lin Guimei’s supermarket wasn’t big, about sixty square meters or so, and at this moment she was sitting in front of the cash register watching short videos. Hearing Zhao Cuinong’s voice, she looked up in confusion, “It’s not the New Year or a festival, what do you need these for?”

Zhao Cuinong’s face was full of smiles, “The skincare store I’m partnering with my sister on opens tomorrow.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Guimei’s face changed.

Setting off firecrackers?

As if scared others wouldn’t know they were running a losing business?

Just wait.

The happier Zhao Cuinong was smiling now, the more miserable she would cry later.

Lin Guimei suppressed her thoughts, “Sister, we’re a supermarket, we don’t sell those. The fireworks store is right across the street.”

“Alright, I’ll go there.” Zhao Cuinong nodded.

Watching Zhao Cuinong’s back, Lin Guimei purposefully raised her voice, “Cui Nong, I wish you great success on your opening day tomorrow, booming business, and a fortune every day!”

—
The next morning.

With a burst of crackling firecracker sounds and deafening fireworks, the skincare store opened smoothly.

However, two hours went by.

There were still no customers in the store, not even inquiries.

This was somewhat unexpected for Zhao Cuinong and Lin Guixiang.

They had thought with Beauty Chant’s great effects, business would definitely be booming on the first day, but it turned out to be surprisingly quiet.

Zhao Cuinong and Lin Guixiang anxiously paced back and forth in the store.

Lin Wu, unfazed, picked up a megaphone and a hammer, and stepped outside, “Come on, come and see! A secret family recipe for removing spots and acne. If it doesn’t work, you can hammer the owner to death!”

If it doesn’t work, hammer the owner to death?

Perhaps the statement was too shocking.

Many passersby stopped in their tracks and looked at Lin Wu, discussing amongst themselves.

As females are naturally fond of beauty, many would have some skin problems, with five out of ten people suffering from spots or acne.

Skincare products had long become a national necessity.

“Young lady, if your skincare product doesn’t work, can we really hammer the owner to death?”

Seeing the growing crowd, Zhao Cuinong immediately pulled Lin Guixiang forward, her face serious, “Of course, it’s true! My sister-in-law and I are the owners, if it doesn’t work, the hammer is right here, and you can hammer whomever you like.”

“Can it remove the pimples on my face?” The speaker was a girl about twenty years old, with delicate features, but her forehead and cheeks were covered with many raised pimples.

Even thick foundation couldn’t hide them.

Due to the unsightly pimples on her face, she didn’t even dare to go out without makeup. The frequent makeup application, which didn’t let her skin breathe, led to even more pimples, and she felt increasingly insecure.
