Through the book: The villain’s son’s stand-in

In the archive room on the first floor of the Cultural Affairs Department, bright sunlight passes through the polarized glass and shines on the row of tables and chairs closest to the window.

At this time, all the old men and women went to the terrace to bask in the sun, leaving only Gu Cheng alone, quietly taking notes in the filing room with a small patch of sunlight.

At this time, there was an ancient book open in front of him. He was holding a pen in his right hand and pressing the bulge in the center of the book with his left hand, with a look of concentration.

Gu Cheng lowered his head slightly, his long eyelashes covering his sapphire-like eyes, and his tall nose cast a shadow on one side.

The pen tip rubbed against the notebook paper, and the swishing sound was the only noise in the room.

"Drip!"

The screen's optical brain suddenly lit up, and the blue light flashed, as if urging the owner to answer.

Gu Cheng looked sideways, the pen in his hand loosened and fell into the gap in the center of the notebook, while the other hand held the light brain ring.

After seeing the caller clearly, Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows and connected the call with a swipe.

"Brother~"

James put on a black suit today. His slender figure was wrapped in a natural fit, outlining a beautiful curve. His hair was meticulously combed back, making him inexplicably calm.

But as soon as he saw him, James's bright and clear eyes were suddenly covered by drooped eyelids. He held his cheeks with his hands and squeezed out a small ball of flesh, like an abandoned dog. He was extremely pitiful.

"What? The work is not going well?" Gu Cheng rested his elbows on the table, his eyes slightly raised with a gentle smile.

When James was asked by him, he immediately opened up a chat box and revealed the difficulties he had encountered in the past few days.

"The head of the copywriting team gave me a warning as soon as he came, saying that we should listen to players' suggestions and delete many unfamiliar words. Players are here to play games, not to study."

"There is also a proposal from the measurement team to add some realistic weapons into it. Use laser cannons and laser guns to clean the ground with one strike. It would be great to blast the demons in groups. Please, this is ancient times. How can we make laser weapons!"

James complained one by one, almost all the departments in the company, and Gu Cheng didn't interrupt, just listened quietly.

It wasn't until he felt thirsty that he stopped to drink water, then he bent his eyes and asked, "Then did you accept their suggestion?"

"Of course not!" James replied firmly.

At this time, he suddenly raised his chin triumphantly and said, "Speaking of this, you have to thank me. If I hadn't come here, you wouldn't have discovered their true nature."

Gu Cheng always has a stern face in the company, with a rigorous and inhumane appearance. In addition, he is the one who has an overview of the overall situation, so everyone subconsciously obeys him.

But James was different. He always showed a smile to others, stayed very close to everyone, and could always mingle with them, but he also lacked a bit of majesty.

This time he suddenly took over, and everyone seemed to have not adapted to his new identity in time, and they still said something.

James was already in a different position, so what he heard was naturally different.

"I'm going to the company tomorrow. We've all been working hard this month, so I'd like to invite you all to have a dinner together." He paused for a moment, and then said, "Just get off work after eating. This is a paid team building."

James nodded slightly, his eyes thoughtful.

"Don't think so much. After tomorrow, they will understand how to do it."

James smiled and nodded: "Well, I won't disturb you anymore. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

The light screen suddenly disappeared. Gu Cheng put the bracelet aside and picked up the pen again.

On Wednesday afternoon, the sunset dyed the sky red. A group of formally dressed men and women walked out of the hotel one after another. They wore decent social smiles. Before the hover cars arrived, they all looked in one direction and nodded slightly. After signaling, they left one after another.

Gu Cheng held James' hand, intertwined their fingers, and waved politely to the crowd saying goodbye.

After the crowd left, they walked to the underground garage together.

James' steps were brisk and he smiled broadly: "Haha, although it's a bit annoying to be toasted all the time, but seeing those group leaders who always criticize me toasting me, I will finish the wine no matter how bad it is!"

Gu Cheng held his flying hand, his sharp brows and eyes full of tenderness.

He thought that being with such an interesting and somewhat arrogant lover would really make him feel better.

"The second closed beta will start on Friday this week." Gu Cheng suddenly said.

James looked stern and said solemnly: "Yes, the second internal test will fully open the novice village, and the town system will be unlocked one after another. The national war for the next internal test is also gradually being constructed, and it will be online in March every year. , in late June, just in time for the summer vacation, Alien World will officially launch open beta."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but tighten his fingers: "At that time, the success or failure of the game will be determined."

When he was extremely nervous, Gu Cheng suddenly broke away from his hand, and when he turned his head to look, he wrapped his entire right hand into his broad and well-joined hand.

There was still the gentle and calm look on his face that James was familiar with.

"We're going to make it," he said.

James looked at him steadily for a while, and the worry in his eyes disappeared little by little.

He took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

At 11 pm on November 31st, the list of the second open beta of "Alien" was officially announced.

Except for the first batch of 200 players, the remaining more than 9,000 places are scattered among Battle.net platform players from various planets.

This night is destined to be sleepless.

In the alien player forum.

In just half an hour after the announcement, tens of thousands of hot posts and comments were added.

Some posted to show off after winning a spot, some posted to complain if they failed again, and there were various game map analysis posts, just to name a few.

It formed a fiery scene.

The two ordinary names on the list did not attract too many people's attention.
