Xu Fengqing saw the fanart on the secretary's phone.
When he approached the desk, the secretary didn't notice him and was still looking at her phone with great interest. Then, he inadvertently glanced at it.
That's right. He only glanced at it, but that picture had a huge impact on him.
Maybe it was because his aura was too strong, the secretary quickly sensed something. She looked up and saw the big boss standing beside her. She was so scared that she quickly stood up.
"Mr. Xu!"
She hid her phone behind her back. There were still traces of her aunt's excessive laughter on her face.
Xu Fengqing frowned and looked at the arm behind her back.
"What were you looking at?" he asked.
The secretary was stunned. She was caught by the big boss at work, and she was looking at a picture that was a little too graphic. There was nothing worse than this!
"No … I accidentally saw it when I was browsing Weibo …" She tried to make a final struggle.
Xu Fengqing stared at her and then reached out to her.
The secretary:???
She didn't understand until Xu Fengqing frowned again and signaled with his eyes. Her face suddenly turned bitter.
"Xu … Mr. Xu …"
"Take it out."
No way? He still wanted to confiscate her phone?! The secretary wanted to cry but had no tears. She carefully placed the phone in Xu Fengqing's hand.
Xu Fengqing pressed a button and the screen saver lit up. He pointed the screen at the secretary. "Unlock."
The secretary was completely dumbfounded.
No way, no way! She didn't exit the picture just now!
However, under Xu Fengqing's threatening gaze, she still gave in and obediently entered the screen saver password. The fanart appeared in front of her again. Before she could exit the picture, Xu Fengqing had already put the phone away.
He lowered his eyebrows and looked at the picture with an inexplicable expression.
After all, it was a picture that hadn't been censored, so it wasn't very graphic. The person in the picture wasn't even exposed, but the whole picture was full of tension.
The silver-haired young man was leaning against the wall, and the man in front of him had one hand on the side of his ear while the other hand was pointing down, not completely drawing.
The young man put his hands on the man's chest and turned his red face to the side. His drooping eyelashes were filled with sparkling tears, as if he was being bullied.
That face …
Xu Fengqing gritted his teeth.
Although it was a painting, the artist's skill was very good. The young man's face was at least seventy percent similar to his younger brother, Xu Sili, so he recognized him at a glance.
What kind of nonsense is this?
His gaze fell on the man who was bullying his "younger brother". He had a head of light blonde hair, and his eyes were staring at the youth. The corners of his mouth curved into a smile that was not a smile, with a hint of ridicule.
Xu Fengqing almost couldn't control his brother.
He took a deep breath and looked at the picture carefully. He finally realized what was wrong.
"Star Age? Xue and Si Sheng? "
He glanced at the small print of the artist's note and looked up at his secretary. "What's this?"
The secretary was extremely embarrassed.
However, when the big boss asked, she still answered truthfully, "It's a doujinshi picture of Star Age … Recently, because of them, Star Age has become popular. I just accidentally saw this topic on the trending searches …"
Xu Fengqing looked at her deeply, but in the end, he didn't make things difficult for her. He put the phone back on her desk and whispered, "Be careful in the future."
Then, under the secretary's gaze, he turned around and walked into the office.
He sat at his desk and began to work as usual. However, when he looked at the documents from the Yin Corporation, he couldn't calm down.
In the end, Xu Fengqing took out his phone and clicked on Weibo.
He was usually very busy, especially recently, with all kinds of things in a rush. Naturally, he didn't have time to pay attention to these things.
During this time, the popularity had decreased a lot. There was only one related entry hanging at the end of the trending searches.
Xu Fengqing clicked on it to take a look.
The topic was filled with a large number of doujinshi pictures, and they were very beautifully drawn. There were relatively few pictures as large-scale as just now, but these exquisitely drawn pictures were undoubtedly very attractive. The comment section was very active.
His face gradually darkened.
He casually saved a few pictures, then opened the communication software and sent them to Xu Yuheng.
He needed an explanation.
When he received Xu Fengqing's message, Xu Yuheng had just finished dealing with the trending searches. Seeing that the popularity was about to decrease, he was relieved.
Fortunately, the old and young of the Xu family didn't know how to use Weibo … Then, he received a bombardment of pictures from his big brother.
Looking at those exquisite doujinshi pictures, Xu Yuheng's scalp was about to explode. What's going on? Isn't Big Brother so busy every day? Why is he seeing these pictures?
He didn't say anything after posting the pictures. This was more infuriating than directly questioning him. He could already imagine Big Brother's dark face.
Xu Yuheng was depressed. The relationship between the two brothers had improved a lot. After reuniting with Xiao Li, his temper had improved a lot, but when he thought of Si Sheng … he still got angry!
He thought for a moment and typed a reply.
Xu Yuheng: [What are you doing? I didn't do it.]
Big Brother: [Then who did it?]
Speaking of this, Xu Yuheng was also very depressed. He clearly didn't do anything! He kept asking people to remove the popularity, but in the end, this couple still became popular. It was as if someone was going against him.
Xu Yuheng: [I'm not sure. Anyway, it wasn't me. I wouldn't use this kind of thing to promote myself. If you don't believe me, ask the publicity department.]
Big Brother: [It better be.]
Seeing that mocking expression, Xu Yuheng almost wanted to hit someone.
It's been ten years, why is this emoji still used?
It's so funny!
On the other side, Xu Fengqing turned off the communication software. His expression was still ugly.
He believed that no matter how inconsiderate Ah Heng was, he wouldn't joke about Xiao Li's reputation, even if that was just a substitute.
This was very strange.
He looked at the doujinshi pictures that had only appeared in the past week. Could it really be the spontaneous actions of these artists? He didn't believe it.
Xu Fengqing searched and finally found the earliest video.
This video was obviously on the hot search list. The number of likes, comments, and shares was quite impressive.
He turned down the volume and clicked to play the video.
When he saw the young man standing on the interview stage, Xu Fengqing's heart trembled. A suffocating pain enveloped him, but he only pursed his lips and continued watching.
The young man's facial features, demeanor, and actions were so similar to his deceased younger brother.
It was as if Xiao Li didn't get on that damn plane and didn't get sick. He just went out to act and dress up as a character in a fantasy story …
Xu Fengqing closed his eyes, but he could still hear the young man's voice. His voice was so similar, almost no different from his memory.
He clenched his fists, but he couldn't vent the pain in his heart.
It had been ten years, and he wasn't even sure if his memory was wrong.
Although he had always disagreed with Ah Heng's approach, sometimes he couldn't help but be envious.
How could he not want to be like Ah Heng and find a sustenance for those bitter feelings? But if he did this, what would happen to the real Xiao Li?
After a long time, would his younger brother blur from his memory, or even disappear and be replaced by another figure?
Xu Fengqing slowly opened his eyes and relaxed his fists. His eyes also regained clarity.
He calmly watched the video from beginning to end.
It was a very serious live broadcast. Other than touching hands when he helped the NPC up, the young man and the NPC didn't do anything intimate at all.
He really couldn't understand how such a video could produce so many doujinshi works.
After confirming that it wasn't a problem in the game, Xu Fengqing turned off the video and decided to have someone investigate. He wanted to know who was behind this!
Snow Roland's face was his Xiao Li's!
"Ding dong —"
At this moment, his phone rang again.
Ah Heng: [Big brother, when are you going to play the game? You've waited for almost ten years, don't you want to experience its charm? Aren't you curious why Xiao Li missed it so much?]
Xu Fengqing looked at his message. He originally wanted to reject it, but this time, he unexpectedly changed his mind.
He looked at the pile of documents on his desk, thought about it, and was about to reply that he would wait two more months. After all, the open beta was coming soon, but Xu Yuheng sent another message.
Ah Heng: [They're real.]
Xu Sili didn't know what happened in reality. After the live broadcast that day, it was Si Sheng who brought him directly back to the palace. He didn't go out to be surrounded by people.
In the following week, he had been preparing for the follow-up plan.
After all the teleportation portals were completed, he was ready to bring the players to the front line to clear the monsters.
At that time, it would be one and a half months since the second beta started. Most of the players would be above level 16, and the players in the first beta would have a higher level and would have a certain level of self-protection.
Through the teleportation portals, they could gather up to four to five thousand players at the same time.
Leading such an undead army, with his help, he could control the field and heal. He didn't believe that he couldn't do the job.
Even if he failed, it didn't matter. After all, the players could revive after death, and it would only take 30 minutes. If he couldn't win, he would let Si Sheng take him and retreat.
Although it would be much more efficient if Si Sheng took action, he had attracted the attention of the gaming group. Xu Sili didn't dare to let him take action casually.
He hoped that at least before the arrival of the monster horde, they could clear out all the interstellar beasts between the five main cities. Then, they could establish a defense line again.
If possible, he even hoped to move the border back to the place where they were defeated. He didn't want to see the burial ground of Sirene and Senos be trampled by interstellar beasts again.
In only a week, Xu Sili made the general arrangements. He just had to wait for the teleportation portals to be completed.
While waiting, he took some time to pay attention to the greenhouse plantation that the daughter of the Yin family was doing.
There were already more than ten families of farmers who were doing it with her. The scale of the operation was not small.
Xu Sili also knew that letting the Wood Elementalists do the production was only an emergency measure.
It could barely solve the problem of food and clothing, so that they wouldn't starve to death in a short period of time. However, in the long term, they still needed to rely on ordinary people to grow the plants.
After all, there were more than ninety million people. How many Wood Elementalists were there?
Moreover, the crops that were ripened by Wood Elementalists tasted worse than those that were carefully cultivated. It was okay to hasten the growth of grains, but the fruits and vegetables still required manpower to grow.
After all, Star Age used the name of food as an excuse. When the open beta started, the number of players who came for the food would increase greatly. The quality of the ingredients was also very important.
Now that there was a farming expert like Yin Xuemei, Xu Sili was quite happy. He even wanted his second brother to recruit a few experts in the real world to teach the NPCs farming skills in the game.
Other than farmers, there were also five-star chefs. They didn't need to open a shop in the game. They only needed to research the special ingredients of Roland and teach the NPCs the recipes.
As for the industrial side, there was no need for that at the moment. This was because among the various strange things that he bought from Star Alliance, there were some functional robots and processing machines. However … they were all taken away by Xiao Wu.
The little guy asked him for a piece of land. Then, it controlled the robots and machines and built a factory.
This factory was made entirely of metal. The metal was also smelted by Xiao Wu's robots. It said that there were too few vehicles in the Roland Empire, so it planned to make its own parts and cars.
Hover cars, hover buses, and even hover trains were all part of its plan.
These manufacturing processes were very easy to get.
He didn't expect Xiao Wu to be obsessed with making cars. Xu Sili was happy to see it succeed. He didn't care what it did. If it could really make cars, then he wouldn't have to buy from Star Alliance anymore.
He continued to wait for the teleportation circle to be completed. However, before the teleportation circle was completed, he received a distress signal from outer space.
