1: Voice Acting Work
In the QQ chat on her phone, Yuan Xiaoning’s boasting became more and more exaggerated, as if she had ground down the great path with tofu, and Bai Ling wouldn’t dare to even glance at it.
But after all that boasting, the system still hadn’t judged the task complete.
“Doesn’t this count as provocation?” she asked the air.
[Ding dong, dear host, if you add Bai Ling herself to this QQ group, it would count.]
If the person herself can’t see it, it can only be called talking behind someone’s back.
“Uh, never mind then. I’m not stupid.”
She closed her phone, burrowed into the blankets, and went to sleep!
The light in the study was still on, with Bai Ling still reviewing the materials. But there was too much useless information in the documents. If not for her mental power overwhelming that of ordinary people, she probably wouldn’t have been able to continue reading for long.
Even so, she hadn’t found any problems in the materials.
The first half of Cloud Sea Game Company’s life was a standard factory success story. Benefiting from the uneven development of Tianhai City—with the mountainous half being relatively backward and the coastal half very prosperous—plus the road connecting the two sides opening twenty years ago, Cloud Sea Game Company encountered its biggest opportunity.
They built factories in the middle region, found cheap labor from the mountain areas, and sold products to the coastal areas where market prices were higher.
Later, as product profits became insufficient and factory returns decreased, they began seeking transformation. Now they want to enter the game industry, though they’re still in the production stage.
It was very late at night. Bai Ling had almost finished going through the materials once without noticing anything. Feeling a bit irritated and not wanting to sleep, she clicked back to the beginning to read again.
In 20XX, Cloud Sea Game Company’s assembly line factory was officially established, connecting with multiple villages in the mountain area. In July of the same year, they recruited a large number of assembly line workers from several villages.
Over the next ten years, Cloud Sea Game Company began rapid development. With the right time, place, and people, it could be said that almost nothing could hinder them. There were some minor frictions, but they were quickly settled.
For instance, quality control spot checks, worker treatment, and some labor disputes…
Labor disputes?
Bai Ling suddenly had a flash of insight, feeling like she had heard these words somewhere before.
She delved into her deepest memories, crossing over ten years of her previous life, tracing along the track of years, passing through the time of spiritual energy’s sprouting. The sea breeze of childhood blew into her mind with the memories.
It was an ordinary day. The little girl, on holiday at home, pulled at her father who was about to go to work, asking him why he was so busy.
Her father said he had a new idea recently, planning to establish a foundation to help some disadvantaged groups file lawsuits.
But later, when the girl asked again, her father disappointedly said the foundation hadn’t been established. However, it wasn’t all for nothing. He had still sponsored some funds for a group of workers, allowing them to file a labor dispute lawsuit.
And the target of the lawsuit was—Cloud Sea Game Factory.

“Mmmmm~”
Raising her small hand, gently waking her sleeping mind, Yuan Xiaoning slowly opened her beautiful water-blue eyes.
Dry sleep was just so exquisite and satisfying. Waking up from a good night’s rest felt like anything was possible.
It’s just a weekly task, with six days left. There must be more solutions than difficulties. For instance, she just thought of one: while Bai Ling wasn’t fully awake and her blood sugar was low, making it hard to hear clearly, she could secretly provoke her. Then, after hearing the system prompt that the task was completed, immediately say, “Bro, I was just kidding.”
Thinking to act, Yuan Xiaoning turned her head—
“Ah! How are you… already up?”
She saw Bai Ling sitting at the bedside, without a trace of fatigue on her face, as if she had been up for a long time, had breakfast, and even gone for a run.
“I’m going somewhere today,” she said.
“…Oh.”
Yuan Xiaoning didn’t immediately understand the meaning of her words, or more accurately, didn’t know what the main point was.
Wait a minute, could it be— “You’re going alone?”
“You’re too eye-catching,” Bai Ling looked disdainfully at her large breasts, “Going to that kind of place would attract too much attention, it’s troublesome.”
Yuan Xiaoning pouted, thinking to herself, you don’t find them too big when you’re enjoying them.
“If you’re going alone, what about me?” she asked.
“Do whatever you want, why ask me?”
“…Aren’t you afraid I’ll run away?”
Hearing this, Bai Ling revealed a very eerie smile: “You can try and see.”
Yuan Xiaoning quietly shrank back: “…Never mind then.”
She remembered the first day she was caught, when she tried to escape, the torture inflicted on her body by the mental lock.
Ning Ning didn’t want to perform the Dragon King water spout again.
In fact, this time there was nothing. The previous mental lock had expired, and Bai Ling hadn’t renewed it.
Sitting on the bed thinking for a while, since she had nothing to do today, why not go to Tianhai Tower for the internship? It could also count as gathering intelligence.
In the afternoon, after lunch, Bai Ling left first. Yuan Xiaoning tidied herself up, changed into a coffee-colored short skirt, and also headed towards Tianhai Tower.
The weather was gradually getting hotter. Yuan Xiaoning wasn’t wearing socks, her straight and long legs gleaming white, shining in the sunlight.
It could only be said that Bai Ling’s concerns were not unfounded; Yuan Xiaoning was indeed too eye-catching.
At this time, she had already arrived at a place called Osmanthus Village in the mountainous area on the eastern outskirts of Tianhai City, looking for someone who had once worked in the Cloud Sea Game factory.
Due to the time being too distant, she could only find this one person. However, for her, as long as the person was still in the village, it wasn’t a difficult matter.
On Yuan Xiaoning’s side, things were also going smoothly, or at least she felt they were.
The managers and staff at Cloud Sea Game Game Company were still the same people. As soon as she arrived, these guys all had their eyes on her.
How strange, don’t they need to work?
“Miss Yuan Xiaoning, you’ve finally come,” the manager hurried to greet her, “We’ve been waiting eagerly for you to arrive.”
“What’s this,” Yuan Xiaoning blinked, “You can’t work without me?”
The manager was taken aback, his expression slightly embarrassed: “Uh, mainly everyone is looking forward to the effect of you voicing this character. And with such a beautiful person like you here, everyone’s work enthusiasm will also increase.”
Yuan Xiaoning let out a light snort: “I hope it’s only your work enthusiasm that’s rising. Let’s go, where’s the voice acting script?”
Taking the script to the recording studio, the manager and a few others didn’t immediately follow her in, but instead exchanged glances.
What’s going on? Why is this blonde busty girl so arrogant, acting like she has nothing to fear? She wasn’t like this last time.
They remembered that when Yuan Xiaoning came last time, she always stood softly and weakly next to the white-haired girl, like an easily bullied soft girl. How come today, coming alone, she’s no longer timid?
“It doesn’t matter, it’s just an empty show of strength,” the manager said in a low voice, “We’ll proceed as planned. She’s alone.”
In the recording studio, Yuan Xiaoning had already read through the voice acting script once and even tried reading it aloud.
What small fry boss, can’t even beat an XXX, what’s this about today’s stamina being at its limit, small fry small fry…
“Your script is quite interesting, but it’s a double-edged sword,” Yuan Xiaoning said to the manager and others who had just walked over, “It requires testing the artists’ skills, at least to draw at my level… you understand?”
