The next day, Xie Yiren looked haggard, with dark circles under her eyes. She yawned as she arrived at the restaurant.
Yufei and the other two had already arrived in the living room. It was Saturday, so they didn't have classes, but they had already developed an early-rising biological clock.
By this time, the three of them had finished their run and returned, and He Junlin had prepared breakfast.
Four baskets of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), millet porridge, pickled vegetables, and four fried eggs. The xiaolongbao were already made at Lanxing; all I needed to do was take them out and reheat them in the steamer.
Making millet porridge is a bit more troublesome; He Junlin had to get up earlier than usual to cook it before going out to exercise.
"I prepared the short myths I'll be posting today yesterday. Brother He, could you please post them later? I was thinking about it while I was organizing them yesterday, and I decided to post more at the beginning. I've prepared three myths."
"Pangu Creates the World," "Nuwa Creates Humans," and "Nuwa Patches Up the Sky"
Then we worked through the night to produce the animation. After I finished eating, I went to take a nap, and then the rest of us reviewed it together to see if there were any changes needed. If not, we'll upload all three animations tomorrow.”
Xie Yiren was eating breakfast when she was explaining the follow-up work to He Junlin.
"No problem, Xie, you should get some sleep after you finish eating. You look exhausted after just one night."
He Junlin watched Xie Yiren eat listlessly and said...
"Ah~ Mmm! Yufei, little brother Cui Yu'an, I'm going to sleep now, I'm so sleepy!"
After finishing the last bite of her fried egg, Xie Yiren stretched and said, her eyelids drooping slightly.
"Okay, go ahead, go ahead!" Yufei nodded, and Cui Yu'an also nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.
After Xie Yiren went to sleep, Yufei and the other two finished breakfast. Cui Yu'an took on the task of washing the dishes and tidying up the room.
He Junlin went into the room to finish the task Xie Yiren had just given him, and then went to the backstage to check on the click status of their "Heart-Cleansing Mantra".
Yes! Just as expected, it's still in its explosive growth phase, and has now gained another 3000 million clicks.
However, they also anticipated that this explosive increase in clicks wouldn't last more than a few days; there might still be clicks later, but certainly not as many.
When the popularity of "The Heart-Cleansing Mantra" started to decline, he prepared to play another piece of music to maintain its popularity.
While He Junlin was busy, Yufei also came to the studio that had been specially reserved for him.
Her affairs were quite complicated and required a lot of space, so they specially renovated one of the balconies in their apartment.
The studio had been converted, and Yufei took out an electronic panel, on which she drew the design of the dance costume she would be preparing for her first live dance broadcast.
In the mecha world, there is no paper. The raw materials used to make paper, whether bamboo or tree branches, are materials that are difficult for the people of this world to obtain.
These have all mutated, and crops... almost all parts are now used as food, not for paper.
Therefore, electronic recording has completely replaced paper for a long time.
Yufei drew and painted, and finished making the dance costume in about half an hour.
This is a modernized version of Han Dynasty clothing, incorporating many elements of modern fashion.
The overall effect is one of elegance with a touch of allure.
Yufei has also decided on her first dance, Zhao Feiyan's Palm Dance.
After completing the design draft, I started making the dance costume myself. Of course, everything from the costume design to the selection of fabric was done while taking photos.
After washing the dishes and tidying up the restaurant, Cui Yu'an went into Yufei's studio to help with the filming.
The production took several days, with Xie Yiren in charge, and He Junlin's uploaded mythological short story also became a hit in the virtual world.
In this remote region lacking entertainment and with a relatively impoverished spiritual world, the myths and legends of the Great Xia Dynasty were like a fine delicacy meeting a long-starved glutton.
It was absolutely phenomenal; the discussion surrounding it far surpassed the popularity of their two songs, "The Heart-Cleansing Mantra" and "Moonlight Sonata."
However, this is understandable. After all, appreciating the music and calming their minds can only reveal the benefits it brings, and at most, they can praise it for being pleasant to listen to.
There's not much left to discuss there. The three mythological stories, however, are different; besides bringing them a spiritual shock...
Beyond filling the void in their spiritual world, the story offers even more to explore and discuss.
Many people are seriously pondering how this world came into being, and whether humanity originated in a way similar to Nuwa creating humans.
The question of whether a figure like Nuwa has truly emerged to mend their broken sky and keep those damned Zerg out is open is being discussed.
Their popularity has remained consistently high, attracting even more people to read their mythological stories.
However, at that time, Yufei and the other three were discussing a very short mythological story, and they hadn't considered the issue of charging money.
Rather, it lays the groundwork for later lengthy mythological stories, or for fantasy, wilderness, and immortal martial arts stories created based on these mythological stories.
Therefore, no matter how popular the mythology is, it doesn't make money ╭(╯e╰)╮
However, the animated version of the mythological story created by Xie Yiren is still a paid service.
The text-based versions of the myths still attracted many readers who were willing to pay to watch the animation.
Then I was drawn to the colors, clothing, and art style.
The animation also made a small profit, earning around a million, which greatly motivated Xie Yiren, who then continued translating and producing animations without rest.
Let them see more of the Great Xia civilization. Xie Yiren is considered a high-end talent in Great Xia and has received recognition from many people, but she has never felt so accomplished as she does now.
This initial 100 million yuan rekindled the excitement she felt when she received her first paycheck during her university years.
It's a pity I can't treat Yufei and the others to a meal like I used to treat my friends.
Firstly, the food in this world is unpalatable; it only contains nutrient solution.
Secondly, they had already planned to save the money to buy Cui Yu'an a mecha.
During this period, besides attending classes and helping Yufei prepare materials for her short videos, Cui Yu'an spent the rest of his time online, piloting mechs to fight against the Zerg.
Oh, of course, this Zerg isn't the Zerg from the real world, but rather a Zerg based on the Zerg corpses and data provided by researchers to the quantum computer.
In a 1:1 replica of the virtual Zerg, after dying several times while piloting a mech in the virtual battlefield, Cui Yu'an had initially grasped the basics of operating the mech.
He could even use a few ancient martial arts moves in the mecha, and the effect was surprisingly good; it's just that he might not be very familiar with operating the mecha yet.
His movements were a bit clumsy and hesitant, not quite smooth enough, but even that surprised him. This mecha was like his second body.
He was eager to know if operating a mecha in real life felt the same way.
Since they were going to buy a mecha sooner or later anyway, Yufei and the others immediately decided to save up money to get one after hearing about it from Cui Yu'an!
