Inside the Thunderbolt conference room, everyone was having a lively meeting.

"The next key focus is the public beta test. Is everything ready?" Brother Zhang asked.

“No problem, we guarantee the official website will not crash.” A programmer stepped forward.

"Remember this: if it collapses, I'll use you as a sacrifice to the heavens."

Everyone laughed. The overall working atmosphere in the game studio was quite relaxed, and joking around was a common occurrence.

Previously, Thunderbolt had two competing games, but in the end, Zhang's project came out on top and received support from the other members of the studio. The subsequent development went very smoothly, and the game license was obtained quickly.

Recently, the game has been preparing for its open beta, and the studio has been investing heavily in advertising to attract the attention of its target users. This includes various app splash screen ads, subway ads, and in-app push ads. It's truly a viral "invasion."

"Let's work a little harder on the publicity and distribution for now! We'll give everyone a bonus later," Brother Zhang encouraged everyone.

"Understood!" "Alright, that's all for now. Everyone go about your business!"

On Weibo, the studio's official account is also actively engaging with the public.

Thunderbolt Studio V: Thunderbolt's new game, *Star Throne*, is scheduled for open beta. Dear adventurers: Thank you for your continued attention and support. *Star Throne* version 1.0 will launch globally next Monday. We look forward to your adventure. @*Star Throne* We will be giving away...

Meow: Next Monday, how the hell am I supposed to launch the server and boost sales for you? Can't you even pick a date? Don't people have to work on Mondays?

Romance Never Dies: Why Not Tomorrow?!

-maybe-: Ahhhhhh, I've finally made it through!

A glimmer of hope: Yay!

March KK: Can I skip this weekend if I become a member?

Succulent Rose Dream: I don't care, I want to play now! I see you guys are also in a hurry, why don't we open the server sooner?

JRY: Wake up, guys! Their game is seriously grindy (don't play it, let me suffer the pain).

Not Dipsy: You little brat, you better have the original artwork and the 3D model both be equally beautiful, or I'll really smash your head off.

Hassan's only wife: My Hassan!! My husband!

I'm never playing gacha games again in my next life: My Eileen, the mature and elegant lady~ (I'm burying myself)

……

Jiang Lai also received a message from Shen Yi.

Shen Yi: The game you voiced is about to be released.

Jiang Lai: I saw it! I even pre-ordered to download it myself, hahaha!

Jiang Lai: I think the card-drawing turn-based combat is relatively simple, at least it doesn't require any special controls.

Shen Yi: Indeed (smiles)

Jiang Lai: I quite like the characters I voiced.

Shenyi: Me too.

"Ah Jiang, what are you doing? Come on, we have class soon, let's go to 1C201," Tang Li called to her.

"I'm here." Jiang Lai replied to Shen Yi as a final message. "Going to class! Talk to you next time!"

The buildings in 1C are not far apart, and everyone is strolling leisurely along the road right now.

"What were you doing just now?" Tang Li asked.

"I chatted with my senior about games. Didn't I do voice acting for a game before? It's about to be released for public testing." Jiang Lai didn't hide anything and told him directly.

"Is it 'Star Throne'?" Zhao Ying knew it. She held her phone out to Jiang Lai. "Look! I've already pre-registered. I'm just waiting for the open beta to start!"

Li Xiangyue glanced at it: "It looks pretty good."

"Thunderbolt's games have always been pretty good!" Zhao Ying tried to get her hooked. "This game has beautiful artwork, beautiful character models, an interesting storyline, and the voice acting is by A-Jiang! You won't regret investing in it!"

"No way, I don't play games."

Jiang Lai advised Zhao Ying, "Xiang Yue doesn't like playing games, you know that. She prefers studying and reading novels."

"That's right! Then why don't you play with me? We can choose the same server, add each other as friends, and even send each other stamina."

"Yes you can!"

-

"Hehehe." A man let out a "motherly laugh," which drew a look of disgust and confusion from the person next to him.

"What are you doing?" a colleague asked.

The man wearing black-rimmed glasses pointed to the small window in the lower right corner of the computer screen, "Watching my goddess's live stream replay."

"Isn't Vivian your goddess?" my colleague continued. "Didn't you say anime is the best?"

"Look who I'm looking at?"

"Who are you looking at?" The colleague leaned closer to look at the computer screen. "Hey, isn't this the voice actor the boss found? I think his surname is Jiang?"

"Yeah, it's Xiao Jiang, she voiced Lydia and Vivian, and later Irene. You're not in our group, so you might not know much about her, but this girl's voice acting is absolutely amazing! And she's so pretty too~"

"I went to a Douyin offline meetup before and saw her, and then I became a fan! She's beautiful, smart, and has a great voice~ It's a pity she rarely does live streams, and sometimes she does them just for learning purposes, but I can still enjoy watching her quietly~"

"I'm so done, those shut-ins are disgusting~" "Damn, how dare you say that to me? We're even!"

The two people were speaking quite loudly, which attracted the attention of others.

"It's one thing to slack off during work hours, but to talk so loudly, doesn't that mean you don't respect me at all?"

The two people who had been arguing suddenly fell silent, then gave the newcomer a fawning smile, "Boss!"

Brother Zhang sneered twice, "Finally, I've caught you red-handed, haven't I? Watching live streams during work hours? You've got some nerve!"

"I won't do it again, boss! I was wrong." The colleague honestly admitted his mistake.

The bespectacled man had a sudden inspiration and said, "Boss! I'm doing market research!"

"?" Brother Zhang looked at him with a "Do you think I'm an idiot?" look, and said with a forced smile, "Keep talking, if you can't give me a straight answer today, you won't get your bonus."

That's ruthless! The bespectacled man wiped away imaginary cold sweat and began to fabricate a story: "First of all, I want to clarify that I wasn't watching the live stream, it was a replay."

Colleague, Brother Zhang: Speechless.

"Secondly, I wasn't watching any random or inappropriate content; I was watching the voice actors for our game."

Brother Zhang asked, "Which one?"

"That younger sister you found, boss! The one who's still in college."

"Little Jiang?"

"Yes, it's Little Jiang."

"And then what? What does that have to do with you?"

"Of course we have! Brother Zhang, you might not watch Xiao Jiang's livestreams, so you don't know, but she actually has quite a few fans! Our game is currently being promoted, right? We've contacted some game streamers for promotion, and Xiao Jiang is the voice actress for one of our game characters, yet we haven't contacted her! Isn't that a loss for us? Especially since Xiao Jiang has a large number of fans! And they're mainly college students and working professionals, aren't they our target audience?" The bespectacled man said, "I've checked it out for you, boss. We can totally contact Xiao Jiang and have her do a livestream of playing the game, which would be good publicity for us."

Brother Zhang hadn't known about this before, but after hearing what he said, he thought it made some sense. Fortunately, he wasn't fooled. "Well, this is a publicity job. What's it to you?"

The bespectacled man hung his head dejectedly, thinking that the bonus was gone.

"Sit down and get back to work. I'll let it slide this time." Brother Zhang wasn't really going to deduct his bonus; he was just trying to scare him.

He had narrowly escaped death! The bespectacled man quickly sat down and went about his business.

Brother Zhang then contacted the publicity department, asking her to think about how to operate the project and to contact Jiang Lai to finalize it.

-

Jiang Lai's phone number is also her WeChat ID, so people can contact her quickly if they need anything.

That evening, she received a friend request from Thunderfire Studio.

Aside from a few people who did the audio editing later, almost no one from Thunderbolt would actively contact her. If they needed anything, they would go through Sun Zhengyang and Shen Yi. Today was a novelty. Jiang Lai quickly accepted her friend request.

Moon: Hello! I'm a staff member from Thunderbolt! I'm in charge of game promotion and marketing~

Jiang Lai: Hello ovo, may I ask your name?

Moon: Just call me Sister Moon! I'll call you Little Jiang~

Jiang Lai: Okay, okay, is there anything I can help you with?

Moon: Well, since you're also a voice actor for our game and a streamer, we'd like to invite you to do a live stream of the game's public beta test. Is that okay?

Moon: We'll provide you with some special perks then~ You can give them to your fans in your live stream~

Moon: We won't let you do the live stream for free here; there will be compensation. Would you like to consider it?

Jiang Lai thought about it and decided that it wouldn't do her any harm. After all, sometimes she needed to change things up in her live streams. Just learning how to do live streams or chatting could sometimes bore her fans.

Jiang Lai replied: Yes, we can do a live stream, no problem.

Moon: That's great! Let me tell you the details. We hope you can play the game in the live stream, and it would be best if you could explain the game's background, characters, and mechanics, and introduce the character you voiced, etc.

Moon: We've also contacted other streamers to participate in the game and provided them with exclusive benefit codes. Since you're one of our voice actors, and we've collaborated before, we're able to secure even more benefits for you. Is there anything else you'd like to ask?

Jiang Lai: No.

Moon: Then let's have a great time working together! [Cheers]

Jiang Lai: It's a pleasure working with you! [Handshake]

Actually, she came out ahead. After all, some self-made streamers don't get the benefits and pay that game studios provide, and this game won't expose her poor skills. All she has to do is know how to build a team.

The studio even offers bonus redemption codes! It's really hard not to be tempted!
