Chapter Six: The Publicity Plan

“Burp~”

In less than ten minutes, Kiana had already eaten until her belly was full and round. She leaned back comfortably in her chair, a satisfied smile glowing on her face.

“Ah~ As expected, Ling Feng’s Chinese cooking really is the best.”

Ling Feng chuckled softly and shook his head. “Don’t let Mei hear you say that.”

“Hmm…” Thinking of her other ‘caretaker,’ Kiana hesitated for a moment, then quickly added, “Well, Mei’s cream stew is delicious too. Each has its own strengths. Yes, each has its own strengths.”

Bronya remarked, “It’s surprising that silly Kiana actually used the idiom correctly this time.”

“Huh?!”

Provoked by those words, Kiana recalled the earlier grudges and old feuds all at once. Her gaze instantly locked onto Bronya like a sharp blade. Then, with a loud slap on the table, she angrily shouted, “Bronya, you little shorty, I’ve put up with you long enough! Come here, I’ll duel you!”

“Hmph! Come on then. Bronya will never lose to a fool.”

“Ahhh, you’re the fool! You’re driving me mad!”

…

A while later, the two of them dragged an innocent-looking Seele, bubbling with enthusiasm, and began an intense game of Dou Di Zhu.

Ling Feng could only smile wryly as he silently tidied up the dishes…

In the kitchen, Ling Feng had just finished washing a plate skillfully and was about to place it on the drying rack when a small hand reached out, gently took the plate, and picked up a nearby dry cloth to carefully wipe it clean.

“Hm? Seele!” Ling Feng glanced out of the kitchen; the other two had already switched to a console game battle.

Still, Ling Feng smiled softly. “Seele can join them. I’ll finish washing soon.”

“But Seele wants to help big brother.”

Seele’s voice was low but warmed Ling Feng’s heart. He couldn’t help but flash a bright smile at the little girl. “As expected, Seele is the most thoughtful.”

“Mm~” Seele responded softly, a faint blush spreading over her cheeks, and a gleam of joy shining in her deep blue eyes, making her look especially happy.

Soon, after neatly putting away the dried dishes, the two returned to the living room.

At this moment, Kiana, having been repeatedly defeated by Bronya in the game, had lost all fighting spirit like a flame extinguished by rain. She sat listlessly holding a doll, pouting and unwilling to speak.

Ling Feng looked at her with amusement. This girl didn’t even know how many times Bronya had beaten her, yet she stubbornly kept fighting despite defeat after defeat—truly persistent.

After sitting down and chatting with the three girls for a while, Ling Feng got up and returned to his bedroom.

“Little Bunny.”

Ling Feng issued the command. The black crystal-like sphere floating above his desk responded, glowing with a soft blue light, and gradually projected a blue-and-white holographic cartoon girl hovering above it.

This was the smart housekeeper of his home—Heavy Armor Little Bunny. Though not as advanced as Prometheus, it was still a highly sophisticated AI.

“Ling Feng, you’re back!” Little Bunny greeted him cheerfully.

“Mm, Little Bunny, long time no see.” It had been seven or eight days since his last visit home to test the experiment.

“Hehe, long time no see! Ling Feng, have you finished your tests?”

“Yes, everything went perfectly.” He opened a drink, sat down at his desk, and relaxed against the chair. “Now, we just need the production teams to finish building the preset worldviews they’re responsible for, and then we can officially launch.”

Although Ling Feng’s “Otherworld” project ultimately allows players the freedom to create their own worldviews, there will always be some lazy players who don’t want to put in that effort.

Therefore, it’s very necessary to have several preset “Otherworlds” designed in advance by Shengshi for players to choose directly.

“Hmm~~ So, the official promotion is about to start?” Little Bunny’s voice sounded excited, happy for Ling Feng. She knew how much effort he had put into this project over the past two years.

“Yes, I’m thinking about the promotion now. Little Bunny, do you have any good suggestions?”

Estimating the time, the production teams would need one to two more months to finish building and testing the preset “Otherworlds.” Starting broad promotion now would be perfectly timed to warm up interest for the game.

“My suggestion,” Little Bunny tilted her head and thought for a moment. Suddenly, a light bulb flickered above her head, sparkling. “Ah, I’ve got it! Ling Feng, since you just finished your test, why not release your adventures in Teyvat as a series of episodes during this period? Players will definitely be eager to experience it when they see it.”

Ling Feng was slightly taken aback by the suggestion, then laughed, “Aren’t you worried my performance in Teyvat was pretty bad?”

“No way!” Little Bunny waved her hand confidently. “You’re Ling Feng! Ling Feng can’t perform badly. It must have been a very exciting adventure, and I’m looking forward to it too.”

As she spoke, Little Bunny clenched her fists in front of her chest, her big eyes sparkling with stars, the anticipation obvious.

Ling Feng was amused, shaking his head with a smile. “Little Bunny sure knows how to make people happy.”

“Hehe♪ Making Ling Feng happy is my duty~.” Little Bunny said proudly.

Ling Feng waved his hand and said, “Then let’s proceed with your suggestion. Little Bunny, base the plan on your idea and draft a preliminary proposal for me.”

“Okay, please wait a moment.” Little Bunny winked at Ling Feng and lightly jumped, then dove back into the black crystal sphere, starting to work rapidly. Strings of data flickered across the sphere’s surface.

This was the power and convenience of today’s super AI. Once the owner decided on a direction, the AI could use its vast computational power and data reserves to handle most of the tedious work efficiently and accurately.

Moreover, Little Bunny wasn’t just an office assistant—as a housekeeper, she could control all the smart devices in the house. Tasks like cooking and washing dishes didn’t need Ling Feng or anyone to do; a simple command to Little Bunny was enough.

However, when Ling Feng or Mei were home, everyone would deliberately avoid ordering Little Bunny to do such chores because Ling Feng and Mei enjoyed taking care of others, and the others enjoyed being cared for by them.

Of course, occasionally, the gentle Seele would take care of everyone, including Ling Feng and Mei.

As for Kiana nearly starving herself earlier, it was because she had known Ling Feng would come back today and deliberately waited hungry to have this meal with him.

Little Bunny quickly finished drafting the proposal. It was not a final version; Ling Feng still needed to manually adjust some details. After all, AI bases its plans on data calculations, providing the most reasonable arrangements.

But the most reasonable isn’t always the most suitable. In reality, unexpected and special circumstances always arise. So when making plans, it’s necessary to reserve “buffer time” for flexibility to ensure the project progresses smoothly.
