Chapter 34: Wait—Dragon Country Has Its Own AAA Game?!

Mango TV Studio

Huang Lei’s face twisted in rage as he glared at the Sky Screen.

“Does this damn thing have a personal vendetta against me?!”

“Who’s sending these messages—anti-fans?!”

He Jiong quickly intervened with a diplomatic smile.

“Teacher Huang, don’t jump to conclusions!”

“I think these ‘comments’ might not be targeting you specifically.”

Huang Lei frowned. “Explain.”

He Jiong gestured to the sky.

“Even our nation’s top scientists can’t decipher how the Sky Screen works.”

“How could random haters hack it?”

The logic soothed Huang Lei slightly. “Then what are these?”

“Probably embedded ‘danmu’—real-time comments from the future!”

He Jiong chuckled. “Like on Bilibili, where viewers overlay reactions on videos.”

Xie Na nodded eagerly—until she noticed Huang Lei’s darkening expression.

“B-but these netizens are obviously wrong!” she backpedaled.

“Teacher Huang’s cooking might not be gourmet, but it’s not that bad—”

He Jiong’s warning glare made her clamp her mouth shut.

Huang Lei exhaled sharply.

“Just tell me the truth. Is my cooking… inedible?”

The cast all looked at He Jiong, who suddenly found his shoes fascinating.

Mango TV Executive Office

The director stared at the Back to Nature reality show proposal on his desk, then at the Sky Screen’s roasting of Huang Lei.

“Welp. This show’s dead.”

“Half our sponsors will pull out now that the whole country knows he can’t cook.”

Marketing head Liu Wei smirked. “Or—we lean into it.”

“Huang Lei’s hotter than ever thanks to this scandal!”

“We invite Song Dandan and Chen He as guests, keep He Jiong as host—but flip his nice-guy persona into the ‘darkly sarcastic’ version from the Sky Screen!”

“Theme song? That Evil Gardenia remix!”

“Director, imagine the drama. The clout.”

The director’s eyes lit up. “Would He Jiong and Huang Lei agree?”

Liu Wei shrugged. “Would they dare refuse this much free publicity?”

Online Frenzy

Netizens gaped as Mango TV dropped a Back to Nature teaser—set to Evil Gardenia.

“Are they seriously still making this?!”

“Huang Lei’s ‘chef’ persona is toast!”

“Genius move. Trashy reality TV + meme fuel = ratings gold.”

“Imagine the awkwardness between He Jiong and Huang Lei now—oh wait, actors don’t feel shame.”

Before the drama could peak, the Sky Screen flashed anew:

[Dragon Country’s First AAA Game—$1.5B Global Launch Day Sales!].

[Critics: “The Dawn of Dragon-Made Masterpieces!”].

The revelation sent shockwaves across timelines.

“DRAGON COUNTRY MADE A WHAT?!”

“No more pay-to-win mobile trash?!”

“Tencent or NetEase—who did this?!”

“SKY SCREEN, SHOW US THE GAME ALREADY!!!”
