Chapter 127

It was an age ripe for romance, especially with a big star like Ye Xing at school.

Gao Xiayu was already a sensation at school, but Ye Xing's popularity was on another level.

During morning exercises or flag-raising ceremonies, as soon as the bell rang, students pouring out of the classrooms would immediately start searching for Ye Xing on the field, so much so that Ye Xing rarely left the classroom unless absolutely necessary.

Yao Shuo and Chi Qiao were classmates in junior high and became classmates again in high school. Their influence at school was significant, especially after Chi Qiao's MV release, making them even more prominent.

At six in the evening, the bell rang, and students sitting at their desks uniformly stretched, then began to pack up their books to head to dinner.

Gao Xiayu also started packing his things.

They still had evening self-study, but Gao Xiayu's classes ended here every day; he had to return to the company for practice afterward.

Seeing him sling his backpack, a few friends who were close to him also stood up, planning to escort him downstairs.

Chen Ya suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, "Hey!" She tugged at Gao Xiayu's sleeve and then let go, saying, "Forget it, I'll just message Auntie later. You go ahead, bye."

Her abrupt remark left Gao Xiayu puzzled, and he paused to ask, "What's the matter?"

"Class fees," Chen Ya replied, tidying up her desk without looking at Gao Xiayu.

The girl in front immediately groaned, "More class fees?"

"It's just Gao Xiayu who hasn't paid yet."

"Oh, that's fine then."

Hearing this, Gao Xiayu glanced at the door and asked her, "How much? I'll transfer it to you."

"Oh? You have money? Then it's fifty. Transfer it first, and I'll collect it when I get my phone tonight." Chen Ya said as she stood up, also calling the girl in front to go to dinner.

A few boys beside Gao Xiayu draped their arms around his shoulders, grinning with ambiguous smiles, their eyes darting between the two of them.

"Alright, I'm off," Gao Xiayu said, eager to head downstairs, and after exchanging farewells with his friends, he left.

"Don't need an escort?"

"Leaving already?"

"Really don't need an escort?"

Chen Ya watched the boys blocking the doorway, calling out to Gao Xiayu, and gave each of them a light slap, "What are you blocking the door for?"

But as she spoke, she glanced at the stairwell, catching a glimpse of Gao Xiayu turning to head downstairs.

Today, besides Gao Xiayu, Ye Xing also had to attend school. They wouldn't start their summer vacation until next week, so they still had a week of classes to go.

The assistant picked up Gao Xiayu and then drove to Ye Xing's school to wait. As soon as the car stopped, Ye Xing emerged, followed by a few girls keeping a distance, not daring to get too close.

Just as Ye Xing was about to get in the car, Gao Xiayu opened the door first. The girls saw Gao Xiayu in the car and started chattering excitedly. When Ye Xing was about to get in, one of them called out:

"Ye Xing――"

After calling out, they scattered like startled birds, still smiling, leaving Ye Xing looking bewildered.

"Get in quickly," the assistant in the driver's seat urged, and Ye Xing finally got in with his backpack.

As soon as he got in, Ye Xing said, "Drive fast, I need to go to the bathroom."

"Pfft..." Gao Xiayu couldn't help but laugh, teasing Ye Xing, "Why do you always rush to the bathroom as soon as school ends?"

"Don't you get watched when you go to the bathroom?"

"Title: Gossip Discussion/Ahhhhhhhh just based on this album configuration, Random Entertainment, I will never scold you!"

"The album configuration is out, with versions including a solo card, photo book, vinyl, and VR glasses."

"The solo card version is individual, the photo book has solo and group covers, the VR glasses version includes the previous two versions [no vinyl]."

"I've been pondering the connection between the game and them for so long, and I didn't expect the big move to be here."

"Truly immersive: heading to an unfamiliar land."

"[Link]"

"The VR glasses and controller demo video is out... Random Entertainment, are you trying to outdo game and tech companies?"

The thing that sent Timetrain to the hot search was the VR version demo video, also one of the five main track previews.

Back at home, Chi Qiao lay on his bed, with only the dim light from his computer screen on. The screen showed snowflakes, then suddenly returned to normal, but the crackling sound had already caught Chi Qiao's attention.

Similarly, the others were experiencing the same thing; their phones and computers were making strange noises.

The source of the disturbance was the game [Unfamiliar Land], whose icon kept flashing and changing.

The screen suddenly brightened, and the world in their eyes turned white, followed by the appearance of a dialogue panel.

[Shall we embark on a journey to an unfamiliar land?]

The familiar music that all players knew began to play, with the refreshing feeling of sea breeze hitting their faces. Unlike the previous simple melodies, a voice suddenly rang out after the sound grew louder—

"No one is born to be what they should be, perhaps I should leave this suffocating place."

Yao Shuo's voice pulled the atmosphere of the song out, and the shiver of destiny struck them like a bolt of lightning. Just that one line of human voice made everyone want to drag the progress bar back to listen again.

The song preview ended, and the VR function demonstration began. The accompaniment was still playing, and the players, too familiar with it, felt like they were entering the game just by hearing the song.

After a brief Logo animation, the model put on VR glasses, held the controller, and lay on the bed. The screen switched to the first-person perspective, showing not the ceiling but the game login interface.

The interface presented was no longer an animated version but an incredibly realistic retro red train. There were passengers getting on and off, and "I" was carrying luggage, ready to board.

"Ahhhhhhhhh who's crazy?! I'm crazy!"

"Damn! It's really an unfamiliar land!"

"I'm getting goosebumps..."

"Support Random Entertainment entering the gaming circle, no joke."

Aliali: 673eba99c4f3f33ac4ee9836"I'll buy! I'll buy, okay!"

"So, does that mean... I'm really going to see my puppy?"

"This is truly the cyber world now."

"For 599, you can buy a set of gaming equipment from Random Entertainment, and I won't say who spent 599 and didn't even get a guaranteed prize."

No one had anticipated this development, which once again ignited the internet for Random Entertainment. For just 599, you could get a set of gaming equipment and immerse yourself in the healing journey of an unfamiliar land.

Jiang Juyou's plan for the first return of Timetrain also came to light.

"Ling Cheng: Right! Isn't our boss amazing! When I understood the intention of this plan, I was almost scared to death!"

This plan was not about the story content but about creating a highly popular game that deeply tied in with the five members of Timetrain.

It was essentially finding an exclusive spokesperson that would never change for the game, and laying an unshakable foundation for Timetrain's future popularity.

This was Jiang Juyou's plan and ambition this time.
