(Episode 19)

It's accurate.

Accurate.

What's accurate?

It said I should avoid starting work

and seeking blessings yesterday,

and that I would spend money and encounter benefactors.

Pretty accurate. Let me check today's.

It says I should welcome wealth.

Aren't you supposed to review the drawings today?

Finish the review quickly and submit them.

Today I'm only avoiding one thing. Avoiding work.

Superstitious.

It also says it's auspicious

for confessing feelings today.

Is this accurate?

Yes!

I'm going home.

Please be accurate.

The PV is well-received both inside and outside the circle.

Let's go out for a nice meal to celebrate.

Let's just go home and order takeout.

On such a worthy occasion,

you want to just settle for takeout?

You'll see later.

Go on up first. I'm going to buy something.

You know my password.

It's so obvious.

He's going to confess his feelings.

Hello, what is it? Get to the point.

(Gu Xun, we've got a problem.)

I thought he was going to confess his feelings this time.

I got the wrong idea again.

(Gu Xun)

Gu Xun, you asked to come to your place...

(I'm sorry, Qian Ling.)

(One of the NPCs in Xialu has been accused of copyright infringement.)

I'm going back to the office.

(I'm coming with you.)

You should rest first.

(I'll keep you posted on this.)

V Line is accusing Xialu's Lin

and the significant prop he uses, the conch shell,

of copying important settings from their upcoming game.

You should know

that plagiarism is catastrophic

for any company or game.

Lin is a completely original character from Xialu.

I assure you that there has been no plagiarism in Xialu.

V Line's game is launching around the same time as ours.

Their accusation

is likely malicious competition.

All right, I got it.

Please resolve this as soon as possible.

Okay, Xin Yi, I got it.

I wonder how Gu Xun is doing.

I haven't heard anything from him.

Is the problem resolved?

We haven't found a solution yet.

But this NPC

is very important to me.

Bend over a little.

It's okay.

We will solve this together.

This character looks almost identical to Lin,

and there's also a conch shell at the waist.

He's a character design my father and I created together,

including the conch shell.

Back then,

we even discussed it over email.

So, if there's evidence in the emails,

won't that prove Lin is your original creation?

Can we get Mr. Gu to testify?

He passed away many years ago.

I'm sorry.

That's all in the past.

Let's upload the evidence first.

So, you were already good at drawing when you were a kid.

It's a good thing you didn't choose to be an artist,

or I might go out of job.

If you're out of job, I can provide for you.

Let's just take a look at it.

Who is Lin Yi Hong?

My dad.

So,

V Line really has the copyright.

I suspect

that this agreement is forged.

Then why are they framing us?

Please come in.

I suggest selling Xialu while the game still has some popularity,

dissolving the Ninth Business Unit to cut our losses.

Mr. Wang,

I don't think we need to resort to such an extreme solution.

Maybe we can just remove that NPC.

I disagree.

The agreement online is just a framework.

We can't confirm its authenticity.

Until the plagiarism is fully determined,

I disagree with deletion

or any modifications.

I stick to my stance.

What do you both think?

Well...

I think we should deal with the immediate crisis first.

What do you say, Mr. Wang?

Otherwise, even if we find a buyer,

we won't get a good price.

All right.

Gu Xun, you have three days to resolve this.

If you can't,

don't blame us for being ruthless.

Are you two okay with this?

All right.

Gu Xun,

you have three days to prove your innocence.

Okay.

How can I prove that this document is a forgery?

But

it's got everything it needs.

It doesn't look fake.

(I'm going home. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything.)

Will Mr. Gu really insist on his own way for just a NPC?

Given Mr. Gu's temperament,

it's difficult to change his mind.

If they really sell the game in the end,

will they poach Mr. Gu there to keep working on the game?

What do we do then?

Xialu won't be sold,

and Mr. Gu won't give up.

We've been through so much together.

Along the way, we've encountered many difficulties.

Didn't we solve them all in the end?

That's because he values Xialu more than anything else.

Now that everything is still uncertain,

let's not panic first.

I know everyone just wants to vent.

Let's get it all out.

We've come a long way, and it hasn't been easy.

Let's be patient and wait a little longer.

Sir, has the resident from Unit 402 returned today?

He left in the afternoon with luggage.

He seemed down.

Did he say where he was going?

No, he didn't. I even told him to pick up the new access card,

but he said he didn't need it.

- Okay, thank you. - You're welcome.

He didn't it?

Gu Xun said he was coming home, and he didn't.

This isn't like him.

Could something have happened to him?

(Gu Xun, why aren't you answering your phone?)

(Where are you?)

(No matter what happens, )

(you can talk to me.)

(Don't shoulder it all alone.)

Who is this?

- Hello. - Hello, Camel.

Do you know where Gu Xun is? We're looking for him.

(Oh, Twistie, )

(Jiang Jun Nan also asked me to find him.)

I heard what happened.

Usually, when something like this happens,

he goes back to his hometown.

Has he contacted you?

(No, )

but usually when he faces such difficulties,

he returns home for a few days.

(He's at home now. Don't worry.)

I'm glad to hear that. I was so worried just now.

- (But this time seems a bit different.) - What does that mean?

Usually, when he goes back home,

he answers calls and messages.

This time, it seems a bit off.

Maybe he just wants some time alone.

Gu Xun has always been one to dwell on things.

(Back in elementary school, when a teacher wrongly accused him, )

he couldn't let it go and stayed in the teacher's office overnight.

When I found him the next day,

(he was almost faint from hunger.)

(I don't know if it's the same this time.)

Text me his address now.

One more please, for takeaway.

Got it.

- What about me? - Don't fight.

Hurry up.

Gu Xun,

what are you thinking? Running off alone.

Don't you realize you're the backbone of our team?

What are we supposed to do without you?

And you didn't even say anything.

You just want me to worry.

How could you do this? You know very well how much I like...

Qian Ling,

what are you doing here?

(Thank goodness I didn't say that last word, )

(or I would have been so embarrassed again.)

What did you

just say?

Nothing. I was just scolding you.

Qian Ling,

it's only seven o'clock now.

There's no train that operates this early.

Did you take a cab overnight to get here?

Isn't that obvious?

Do you think I rode a shared bicycle here?

How can you be so selfish? You left without a word.

Do you know how worried we were looking for you?

You're a grown up. You can't just disappear like that.

Didn't I text you that I was going home?

When you said "home,"

I thought you meant our home.

"Our home"?

I should've said things clearly.

I made you worry.

I'm sorry.

Going back to your hometown is one thing,

but why did you turn off your phone?

I forgot to bring my charger when I left. My phone ran out of battery.

Couldn't you buy one if you forgot to bring it?

Is it that hard to get a charger?

- I... - I've been thinking about you.

I've been wanting a special moment to tell you this.

I liked you back when I was the Campus Heartthrob,

and I still like you now as Gu Xun.

When I invited you to my house last time,

I actually wanted to make a perfect confession to you,

and I even prepared a bunch of star lights and stuff.

It's a pity that I didn't get to show you.

Anyway, the guy standing in front of you right now

really likes you.

You look prettier when you smile.

Look! They are kissing!

That speech just now was improvised.

Was it terrible?

It was

okay.

Didn't you say

you wouldn't like me?

That you would never like me?

And that

I'm not your type?

That's because

I didn't know it was you.

Actually, you obviously know

that I've always liked you.

I guess

I do.

So,

when you said you like me...

When you said you really like me,

how much do you like me?

I can't answer that question.

Wrong answer.

Such subjective matters

never have a standard scale

or reference point for comparison.

I only know that

I've never liked

any other girl in my life.

You're the only one.

You're my first love.

You're mine too.

What did you say?

She said you're her first love too.

(The number you have dialed is not answered.)

(Please try again...)

(Gu Xun)

(The number you have dialed is not answered. Please try again...)

What is he doing?

The atmosphere in the office is quite serious.

How do you plan to resolve it?

Look at those people.

No matter what they went through the previous day

or how long the night was,

as long as a new day begins,

there will always be new hope.

Gu, you brought your girlfriend home?

Yes.

She looks so pretty.

Thank you, ma'am.

(I can't believe I've really become Gu Xun's girlfriend.)

By the way, why made you come here to find me?

Well, I was worried about you.

You didn't answer calls or texts,

and you left without a word.

Camel said you might do something foolish.

He said that on purpose.

I actually think he did a good thing.

The security guard in our block said you left with luggage

and wouldn't pick up the access card.

I thought...

You thought I wouldn't come back?

I was in a hurry and thought you could pick it up for me.

You scared me.

How's the situation in the department?

Jiang Jun Nan has been helping stabilize morale for you.

Everyone's waiting for you to find evidence and come back.

I came back this time mainly to find clues.

This concerns the survival of the Ninth Unit Division, after all.

My dad's computer should still be in the studio.

I think we'll find what we're looking for there.

Mr. Lin's studio?

He had a game studio.

Actually, for a while,

he wasn't doing very well.

The studio was pretty much his everything.

Are you okay? Be careful.

This is cold. Put this on it.

Why was there no explanation or anything?

Is this how it ends for us?

Mr. Jiang,

you're showing typical symptoms of male breakup syndrome.

Three days before the breakup,

you drink, dance, and play games, having a blast.

But a week later, you'll start experiencing all sorts of...

Don't you think this is going too far?

I haven't even got a call, a text or an apology.

Or should I be the bigger person

and reach out first?

It's not my fault, why should I reach out first? Right, Xin Yi?

Seriously, why should I?

- You're right. - Right?

Right your foot!

You and Feng Ru Ru were together for one month and four days.

I replied to half of your messages, said half of the sweet nothings,

and chose her gifts for you.

Besides paying, what have you actually contributed?

Honestly, now that she has broken up with you,

the one who should feel heartbroken is me, okay?

- Hang on, I... - You're not as good as you think you are.

She wanted something simple,

but your response was even simpler.

How are you different from a pay-to-win player in this relationship?

Is logging into the game considered effort?

You probably even needed me to remind you that it's time for your wedding.

- Hang on, I... - Also,

you keep saying you love your work, love your career,

but when the our department is facing a crisis,

you're not taking any action! What on earth are you thinking?

Hang on, I was talking about Gu Xun.

(Oh no, did I just say what I've been thinking?)

Um, I just remembered I need to take care of a file from this morning.

I'll go take care of it now, Mr. Jiang.

Hang on, Xin Yi...

- Hot! - Are you okay?

Ouch!

Mr. Jiang, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to say that.

I was feeling a bit feverish and my words were all over the place.

I swear I won't do it again.

I will work hard.

If Mr. Jiang wants to fire me because he's really mad, what should I do?

If he fires me...

I'm not afraid. What is there to be afraid of? Mr. Jiang, I...

Do you need help?

It's fine. You don't have to apologize, and I won't fire you.

The door isn't really soundproof.

Next time, if you want to rehearse, stand farther away.

- Let me help you. - It's...

Does it hurt?

It's okay.

I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang.

I didn't expect you would get burned.

It's not your fault. I fell down myself.

It's ready for the medicine.

Mr. Jiang...

Sorry to have disturbed you.

It's not... Wei Han...

I should...

Dad, what's this?

This is a scene from the game I'm working on.

It looks awesome.

Must be pretty difficult to make, right?

Not really.

You'll be even better at it than me someday.

- Really? - Of course.

This studio once bore all of my dad's efforts.

It was also where I first learned about AAA games.

Back then, there wasn't even the concept of AAA.

I just knew that these large-scale games were impressive.

That's when I realized how cool my dad's work really was.

Dad,

were you and Mr. Guo fighting because of your game?

If it's so challenging, why do you still want to make it?

Well, let me tell you,

sometimes,

persisting in doing something can be tough.

Especially in places where people can't see, it's even harder.

But why persist if it's something people can't see?

You will understand it when you grow up.

No problem. Okay.

I'll wait for your call.

How did it go?

Just tell us.

We did it.

Really?

They want our demo version.

We're one step closer to success.

Dad!

I'll never forget the scene

when my dad received his first offer from a game company.

So your dream of AAA games was influenced by Mr. Lin.

You must be very close with him.

We were close. He was very passionate about his career,

but compared to his dream...

You promised to attend the parent meeting

and go to the observatory, but you didn't.

Are you trying to make me experience widow-style parenting?

No, I really didn't mean to miss them.

These next few days are crucial for me in developing the game.

I really can't get away.

I've made up my mind.

I'm taking our son to stay with my parents in Qing'an.

You're running away from home with our son?

You wish.

The high schools in Qing'an are better than here.

Plus,

expenses are getting higher.

I want to rent out this house

to help with the finances.

But...

But where will I live?

You can leave with us if you want,

if you don't,

you can live with your game for the rest of your life.

Dad,

come with us.

You said there's a solution to everything.

Come.

Xun,

I want to come with you,

but

I haven't finished this game yet.

It's too important to me.

After I finish it,

I promise I'll come find you and Mom, okay?

Later, my mom and I moved to Qing'an

to live with my grandparents.

But I know

my mom always kept a place for my dad at home.

Like me, she was waiting

for my dad to come back and reunite with us.

Then, we received a call from my dad.

He said he was about to succeed

and would soon come back to get us.

I was waiting for that day.

What happened after that?

After that,

my dad suffered a heart attack

due to long-term overwork

during a late-night overtime session.

He couldn't be saved.

After my dad passed away,

his business partner rented this place.

Until I went to university and started making games myself,

I often thought about this place.

The computer and documents should be here.

Let's search around.

I only found some office supplies here.

What about yours?

Nothing either.

Could someone have taken them away?

It's possible.

Could your mom have taken them?

Unlikely.

My mom doesn't like my dad making games,

so she wouldn't take anything related to gaming.

Then...

Let's go check with Mr. Guo.

May I have everyone's attention for a minute?

Mr. Gu is out of town now,

so we need to take action ourselves.

Copywriting team, draft a statement.

Besides official certified accounts, reach out to a few influencers

and ask them to share it, got it?

Yes, Mr. Jiang.

Due to the NPC incident,

there are rumors online again

that we've just patched together

various popular game elements.

They're misleading people.

Yi Hong, find out who's behind those rumors

- and prepare a legal letter. - Got it.

Wang,

delete all untrue comments

to minimize the impact.

Got it, Mr. Jiang.

Su Zheng, adjust the periodic table. It's likely affected.

Got it.

Our art team will help as well.

Great.

Great, everyone, let's get moving.

- Go! - All right!

You're back in action.

I've never been down and out, okay?

Camel.

- Coming. - Congratulations. You're a father now.

Hi, I'm Twistie.

What's the matter? Shocked by my beauty?

Hi, Twistie. She's a beauty.

Congratulations.

- Where is Mr. Guo? - He's over there working.

Let's go.

Okay, done.

It's running smooth now.

- Okay, thank you. - Come to me if it acts up again.

- Dad, I'll carry it. - It's fine.

Mr. Guo.

Gu,

I haven't seen you in years.

You've grown so much.

Your girlfriend?

Yes.

Hi, Mr. Guo.

Hi.

You look great together.

Gu, what do you do for a living?

I'm making AAA games.

Gu,

listen to my advice.

Change to a normal job immediately.

Your father put everything into it,

but did he achieve anything?

Mr. Guo, times have changed.

Making AAA games is achievable now.

And we've already made some progress.

That's right. Dad, even after all these years,

you're still in this field, right?

What nonsense are you talking about?

Mr. Guo, actually, we came to ask you something.

My dad had a computer in the studio before,

but we couldn't find it there.

Do you remember anything about it?

There are a few old computers in the warehouse.

I don't remember when they were moved there.

I'm not sure if the one you're looking for is there.

It's over there.

Boss, the goods are already set up.

Do I need to register anything?

Dad, which one is it?

How would I know?

It feels like we'll have to search forever to find it.

Here. Register here.

Found it.

Dad, this photo is exactly the same as the one in your drawer.

Yes.

Back then,

it was your dad, me, and Lu who started the business together.

But later,

there were some conflicts between Lu and your dad,

and they lost contact.

Not all persistence is right,

but at the moment,

everything felt worth it.

Mr. Guo,

you must have thought

and persisted like this back then.

Some gaming companies approached your dad back then,

wanting to buy the copyrights of his game.

Of course, that included some setting copyrights.

Did he sell those copyrights in the end?

Your dad told me everything was settled that day,

but then he died.

After that, I don't know what happened.

Gu,

I'm well aware of how tough the journey

of making AAA games is.

If you're determined to continue,

I hope you can reach the end smoothly.

If,

and I mean if,

Mr. Lin really sold the copyright, what should we do?

Whether it's sold or not,

we need to figure out where the ownership ultimately lies.

Stella bought us three days.

I have to take responsibility for the future of the Ninth Business Unit.

We will figure it out together.

Besides,

my dad and I created this character together.

This should be our only connection.

I don't think he would sell it easily.

Lin is the protagonist's life mentor in the plot.

In the game,

the protagonist finds him under the final starry sky.

There,

two distant planets finally meet.

Actually...

Actually, it's your way to make up for the regret

that you and Mr. Lin couldn't go to the observatory together.

Yes.

Never mind.

There are always regrets in life.

Are you thirsty? Want some water?

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Do you want some?

Thanks.

No problem.

Do you feel like

we're being

too polite with each other?

A little bit.

Then...

What should we do?

How about

I stop being polite for a bit?

(You come close to me)

(Scattering sparks, countless yearnings bloom)

(The moment we meet, it's a familiar feeling)

(Do you remember me? On a certain day)

(We brushed past each other, then I started missing you

(Thinking of you all day, I'm surprised by my change)

(Such complicated trials)

(Just a little chat with you, on your left side)

(My heart warms up a little)

(You come close to me)

(Scattering sparks, countless yearnings bloom)

(My heart starts beating fervently)

(Thinking of everything about you uncontrollably)

(You're already by my side)

(The starting point of my dream, you've long appeared)

(Every day my dreams come true for you)

(Jealousy and insomnia, I decide to forget you a bit)

(But the longing doubles)

(I want you to understand my adventurous spirit)

(Embracing in the crowd, our hearts are pounding)

(We are falling for each other)

(With my intuition)

(No matter how distant)

(You are my world)

(You come close to me)

(Scattering sparks, countless yearnings bloom)

(My heart starts beating fervently)

(Thinking of everything about you uncontrollably)

(You're already by my side)

(The starting point of my dream, you've long appeared)

(Every day my dreams come true for you)

(Every day)

(My dreams)

(Come true for you)
