118: Terror is imminent

"Meow!"

Ye Bai tapped it a few more times, and a gruff male voice kept meowing.

The students in the class went from being shocked at first to laughing out loud later.

"This... I haven't recorded an actual kitten's meow yet," the boy who created the game said sheepishly.

"I looked for cats for a long time, but they all ran away as soon as they saw me coming."

He clearly felt a bit embarrassed as well.

Back then, he searched for cats every day, trying to lure them with cat treats or Dried Fish.

Those cats ignored him completely.

They were purebred tsunderes!

He got so frustrated that he just recorded himself meowing instead.

Ye Bai was also amused. He said, "It's fine, it's actually quite good."

"It's like a gag game. Maybe you could try recording different types of meows and add more interactions, like how it sounds when being fed, being petted, or when it's hurt, maybe—"

"Meow-ow!"

He imitated the sound.

"You did a great job; it's the most innovative one so far."

Ye Bai really thought the game was well-made; after all, games are meant to make people happy.

Being a bit quirky isn't a bad thing; at least it grabs the players' attention.

Maybe some people are into this sort of thing.

Karl didn't expect to be praised for making the game like this, which made him even more self-conscious.

To be honest, his mind was a complete blank when he was making it.

He just wanted to finish the assignment.

Now that he had actually received praise from Ye Bai, he felt even more embarrassed.

Ye Bai gave feedback on their games one by one and decided to make a few games himself to set an example.

For instance, games like fireboy and watergirl, Gold Miner, Where's My Water??, and the Stickman series.

These were all absolute classics.

Ye Bai told them to keep working while he started on his own tasks.

Meanwhile, the head of the TV drama department at Zhongzhou Film and Television Platform received a submission from a subordinate.

"Are you saying this is Ye Bai's work?" Zhang Zuo looked at the strange women of liaozhai in front of him, then glanced uncertainly at Yang Yongan.

Hearing his boss's question, Yang Yongan couldn't help but feel nervous. "This... the credit indeed goes to Ye Bai, and the assistant director is Yu Sanxing."

"I've watched the series; the quality is very high, and it's definitely in Ye Bai's style, including the dialogue."

"I don't think anyone else could have made this..."

Zhang Zuo looked thoughtful. "Alright, you may go. I'll review this personally."

Yang Yongan nodded and withdrew.

The drama would certainly be handled by Zhang Zuo; someone at Yang's level couldn't possibly contact Teacher Ye Bai directly.

Zhang Zuo clicked on strange women of liaozhai to watch. He was stunned when he saw the embroidery shot at the beginning of the first episode.

Because he couldn't understand a single damn word of those few lines of dialogue.

Yet, just those few shots pulled him into deep thought.

This appeared to be a love story.

He thought as he watched. He had heard rumors about Ye Bai filming something before; after all, walls have ears.

Some news had leaked out during the casting calls.

He just hadn't expected Ye Bai's TV drama to be finished so quickly.

He wondered about the quality.

He watched episode after episode until he finished, then couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of a genius!"

The setting for ghosts in this drama was very clear; for example, ghosts are afraid of sunlight and possess magical powers, but there are also people in the mortal realm who can suppress them.

The setting also included demons and immortals.

It was very interesting!

It felt as if he were watching other stories set in the world of journey to the west.

Zhang Zuo hurriedly got up, washed his face and hands thoroughly, and then contacted Ye Bai.

[Zhang Zuo: Teacher Ye Bai, I've seen the work you uploaded. I'm Zhang Zuo, the head of the TV drama column at Zhongying. When do you plan to broadcast it? Do you have any thoughts? We can offer you a revenue share or a buyout; personally, I suggest choosing the revenue share... Looking forward to your reply (shy) (handshake)]

It was already evening when Ye Bai saw the message.

He sent a reply.

Revenue share or buyout? Revenue share, obviously. Who would turn down more money?

As for the broadcast time, Ye Bai thought for a moment and replied, "As soon as possible."

The honor of kings professional competition was starting soon, and he didn't want his works to clash with each other.

If the audience had to watch the drama and follow the e-sports at the same time, wouldn't that be a conflict?

Definitely not!

Although Zhang Zuo wanted to suggest more promotion, since Ye Bai said "as soon as possible," he would just make it happen.

He was a loyal fan of romance of the three kingdoms and journey to the west himself, so he knew how popular those two animations were.

Not to mention that even though it was Ye Bai's first time filming, the quality was truly excellent.

This had to be arranged quickly.

Thinking of this, he recalled how much of the spotlight Zheng Piao had enjoyed recently, but now the person who gave her that spotlight had moved on, hahahaha!

Now it was his turn to shine!

He quickly ordered his subordinates to prepare the promotion.

Meanwhile, Zheng Piao was hesitating whether to message Ye Bai to ask about the progress of the new animation.

The fans were clamoring for it every day!

Some were even maliciously speculating that they were suppressing Ye Bai's new work and refusing to release it.

Heavens, how could that be possible!

Just as Ye Bai finished replying, he received a message from Zheng Piao: "Teacher Ye Bai, do you have any ideas for your next animation?"

Zheng Piao rubbed her hands together, hoping for a reply saying it was almost finished!

To her surprise, Ye Bai replied, "No ideas at the moment."

Zheng Piao: TVT.

He'd been resting for so long; how could he have no ideas?

At this moment, she had no idea that Ye Bai had already left the animation battlefield and turned to the embrace of TV dramas.

Ye Bai really didn't have time for animation. He had Yu Sanxing start promoting strange women of liaozhai on the Social Media Platform, while also having the lead and supporting actors repost it.

This naturally attracted many fans.

They saw it and went, "Oh? Director Ye Bai?"

[Is it *that* Ye Bai?]

[strange women of liaozhai, a period drama? The costumes look like romance of the three kingdoms.]

[Holy crap! Ye Bai is filming a TV drama! For real?!]

[He was tagged, and Ye Bai reposted it; it's actually real.]

[Ye Bai! You've forgotten your roots! Where's your animation?]

[Dramas aren't as good as animations. By the way, I managed to snag a Great Sage badge, hahahaha!]

Pushing himself like ten people at once, Ye Bai had no time to pay attention to netizens' comments and rushed to the office.

He had to keep an eye on the progress of the honor of kings professional competition; that was the most important thing.

Meanwhile, Chen Chen was also shocked to see that strange women of liaozhai was scheduled for the day after tomorrow.

That's way too fast!

He wasn't ready yet; the drama he acted in was going to be released so soon?

The ones he filmed before were still being held back, and he had no idea when they would air.

He didn't expect the efficiency of this production to be so high!

Just as the internet was buzzing with discussions about Ye Bai filming a TV drama, Qin Yushan suddenly logged onto the Social Media Platform and posted a message.

[Qin Yushan: The new game "horror echo," co-produced by the God of Games and myself, will be released in three days. Stay tuned~ @Producer God of Games]
