Chapter 7: Sick and able to fight
Chapter 7: Sick and able to fight
"According to official history, three generations of the Yang family served as generals and guarded the border for nearly a hundred years, first conquering the Liao and then resisting the Western Xia. Even if their achievements are not enough to be worshipped as gods, they should be invited into the imperial court."
Yang Yanan looked intently at the little girl's eyes.
"In the legends of later generations, the Yang family generals were further transformed into seven heroes and eight tigers, and 22 female heroes who were as brave as men."
"From the capital to Jin Province, and then from Jin Province to all directions and throughout China, countless scholars, students, soldiers, and children have used this to motivate themselves to defend their country. How can this not cultivate a 'spirit'?"
"So, is it worth being surprised? About my identity and my existence." The little Loli looked away from the glaring sunlight outside the window, lowered her head and stroked the slightly wrinkled corner of her clothes.
——The movement was so light that it seemed as if he was sweeping away the snow on the soldiers’ monument.
"This is obviously a matter of course."
She let out a long breath, and the sound was like a sigh and a complaint.
Xu Yichi was made more and more at a loss by her behavior.
So the little girl stood there in a daze for a long time, pinching her fingers. After a long time, she stammered with a hot face: "Yes, I'm sorry, Senior Yan An."
"…The younger generation is too narrow-minded."
"Oh, it's okay." Yang Yan'an shrugged. "I've lived long enough to see through it... You young people today, your behavior may seem more open than that of the past, but in fact, your thoughts are much more conservative than those of us old folks!"
"But there is one thing I would like to raise."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yichi immediately bowed his hands and said, "Senior, please speak."
"You'd better not call me 'Senior Yan'an'." The little Loli shook her head, "Call me 'Senior Yang', or just 'Old Yang'... Anyway, just don't call me 'Senior Yan'an'."
"Why, why is this?" Xu Yichi and the little Lolita stared at each other.
——She thought, isn’t this a nice name?
"Because I don't like this name... Tsk." Yang Yan'an curled his lips and turned his head to glance at Lu Shinian. "Okay, tell her about the little clip over there. I'm too lazy to explain."
"Senior, I have told you many times, please don't call me poor monk... Forget it, it's useless to say it." Hearing the word "clamp", Lu Shinian responded on the spot.
However, he had only said half of the words when he turned his head and met the smiling and teasing gaze of the demon loli, and the rest of the words were immediately swallowed by him.
——Sorry, he forgot.
He can’t afford to offend this ancestor, so he’ll go to the next one.
"...Ahem, well, Master Xu, Senior Yang was given the name by my master, which means 'Yanmen Pass, Chang'an, and Changping'." Lu Shinian clenched his fists and coughed to cover up his guilt and embarrassment. "Before this, Senior didn't have a fixed name of her own, and when she registered... this was not the name she wanted."
"Then the name that senior liked back then was..." Xu Yichi was confused and scratched his head subconsciously.
"...Yang Dianfeng." Thinking of this name, Lu Shinian fell into uncontrollable silence for a moment.
"Ah?" Xu Yichi was confused and tilted his head to make a classic cow cat expression.
"That's it, Yang, the peak." The young man's toes hidden in his small cloth shoes scratched the ground frantically, "The 'peak' of the game's peak competition."
"...Then your name is quite unique, senior." Xu Yichi rubbed his hands and laughed dryly, "Very humorous, haha, humorous." "...It is quite humorous." Lu Shinian's eyes rolled around, "It's just too humorous, and my master was so scared that he immediately snatched the pen from your hand and forced her to register 'Yang Yan'an'."
"Hey, don't say it, don't say it, I get angry when I mention this!" The little girl put her hands on her hips and cursed, "What's wrong with calling me 'Yang Dianfeng'? That stupid guy insisted on calling me 'Yang Yan'an'!"
"You don't understand romance at all!"
"——'Peak' is a great name! It sounds like he is a good fighter, and the last name is 'Yang'."
"When you put them together, it's just crazy and powerful. Just throwing out these three words can knock down a bunch of people!" Yang Yan'an waved his hands and gestured, "I went there with the intention of beating up those street hooligans!"
"What's the result? Look at this crappy name that unscrupulous businessman gave it - it's so soft and useless, haha!"
"Okay, let's not talk about this sad thing. I didn't come here today to reminisce about the past with you two little kids."
"I'm here to have a serious talk with this little girl about cooperation." Yang Yanan said, and then strode straight towards Xu Yichi... and the snack bag behind him.
And he grabbed a bag of potato chips.
...confirmed once again that this ancestor really loves eating potato chips.
The corners of Xu Yichi's lips trembled slightly. At this moment, she was not surprised that the little girl said she wanted to cooperate with her - she was more curious, isn't she sick of eating so many bags of potato chips in one afternoon?
"So what do you mean by cooperation, senior?" Xu Yichi moved quietly towards the shopping bag and quietly grabbed a bag of cakes.
——Show her you’re hungry.
"Oh, I heard that your studio is planning to make a traditional Chinese game with intangible cultural heritage elements!" Yang Yan'an was chewing potato chips frantically, his words were a little unclear, "What do you think of mine?"
"——In terms of intangible cultural heritage, the 'Legend of the Yang Family Generals' series has three sub-items, two new ones and one expansion; in terms of the core, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, I can also give you national heritage and heroic epics."
"Of course, if you're willing... you can use the images of those 22 heroic female generals to talk about the awakening of female consciousness that has been very popular among you young people recently."
The little girl thought about it and rubbed the bag of potato chips: "But this thing is not yet fully formed, and many concepts are a bit controversial. As a spirit, I don't recommend it."
"Of course we won't touch controversial projects." Xu Yichi was a little dumbfounded by Yang Yan'an's words. "After all, the scale of our studio is still relatively small, and our ability to withstand pressure and risks is not very strong."
——She felt that she was not destined to have that chance, and there was no need for her to earn the risky traffic money.
"Indeed." Yang Yan'an nodded in approval, and raised his thumb which was covered with potato chip crumbs, "You are really conservative."
"Hey!" Xu Yichi rubbed his hands, "It's mainly because I'm timid."
"Well, not big." The little girl ate a bunch of potato chips. "The last time I saw someone so scared of me was last time."
"Okay, let's just be quick and decisive. Stop wasting time, kid."
"Just tell me, if you want to add me to your project, will you do it or not?"
Yang Yanan is indeed in a very good mental state ()
