Chapter 77: Who cares? It doesn

On his previous Earth, identical external hard drives—counting the one in Qin Xiaoyu’s possession—totalled only four.

Cai Qiu, Master, and Luo Ge each had one.

The one in his hands was given to him that night, right after the Raiden Shogun gacha pool ended, handed to him personally by the three of them; along with the hard drive came a stock incentive agreement.

This was why, upon learning he had been reincarnated, Qin Xiaoyu had spent a long while cursing under his breath, feeling somewhat reluctant.

Of course.

But all that was in the past, and Qin Xiaoyu had no interest in dwelling on it anymore.

The real question now was: what exactly was going on with this hard drive in his hands?

Could it have been swapped out?

That was nearly impossible—he’d carried it with him constantly, and Cai and Wei had only seen it twice.

No one else even knew the hard drive existed.

If the data and code inside had been stolen, Qin Xiaoyu wouldn’t be reacting as wildly as he was now.

But the key point was…

A brand-new “game” had suddenly appeared inside the hard drive!

Strictly speaking, it wasn’t a new game at all—only new relative to this parallel world.

After all, the game inside had already been running for a long time on his previous Earth, with solid reputation and decent revenue.

This was fucking weird!

Out of nowhere, something like this happened, and Qin Xiaoyu was genuinely stunned.

He leaned back in his recliner, gently stroking the surface of the external hard drive with his fingers.

Suddenly, a flash of insight struck Qin Xiaoyu’s mind.

His furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

Perhaps the external hard drive he now held had never been the same one he used in his past life—not from the moment he first received it.

It just looked identical, and contained identical files.

So

he had subjectively assumed it was his own work hard drive.

“G!”

Qin Xiaoyu silently murmured the letter, then suddenly wore a look of helpless amusement.

Such an obvious hint—he should’ve figured it out much earlier.

That makes sense!

Reincarnators and transmigrators always get some perks.

But now, Qin Xiaoyu felt he no longer needed this kind of thing.

Even if the hard drive suddenly contained a new game, could he just pull it out and launch it publicly?

He’d spent tremendous effort just to slowly fill the holes in Genshin Impact—and even now, it wasn’t finished.

If he now pulled out another large-scale, fully finished game and launched it…

Suspicion would be inevitable.

He might even get dragged off for dissection and study!

Besides,

he had no spare energy left to manage another game—there were still countless tasks waiting for him.

However,

on the other hand,

the sudden appearance of a new game inside the hard drive was still a good thing for him.

For the studio to grow and rise to become a top global game company, relying solely on Genshin Impact was clearly insufficient.

Qin Xiaoyu never believed he could achieve his goal with Genshin Impact alone.

The game now appearing in the external hard drive couldn’t be launched yet—but that didn’t mean it couldn’t be, someday.
