"...I'm not sleeping, not sleeping, I'm busy!"
Judy, who was sound asleep in the air-conditioned room, was startled by the sound of the door opening and nearly jumped off the sofa.
"Heh, your equipment is quite complete, isn't it?"
Jessica walked in with her arms crossed, showing no remorse for her actions. Instead, she commented on the complete set of braindance editing equipment in Judy's room.
After Judy left the Moxes, she moved her livelihood here.
Seeing that the person who entered was the blonde Jessica, and not that Little Fox Berry, Judy patted her chest and declared how dangerous that was.
She had thought her boss had come to check on her.
"It's Jessica? What are you doing here?"
Judy rubbed her eyes and stood up.
Boss Bai was generous; she had installed air conditioning in the office, and the cool air made Judy unable to resist falling asleep.
Of course, this didn't count as slacking off.
Judy thought firmly.
Hearing Judy's words, Jessica didn't reply. She simply placed two Braindance Recording Chip on the edge of the desk.
"I'm here to tell you some bad news."
Jessica said this while half-sitting on the desk.
"We've decided to quit."
Shrugging, Jessica chewed gum, mentioning it as if it were a trivial matter.
"Huh? Wait, what?"
These light words instantly sobered Judy up.
Still rubbing her eyes, she looked up blankly, her mouth involuntarily hanging open.
"But, why?"
Seeing that Jessica's expression didn't look like a joke, Judy asked suspiciously.
"That Girl is mine now. We figure we can stop here."
Jessica chewed her gum and offered an explanation.
After speaking, she pointed to the Braindance Recording Chip on the desk.
"Besides, I think what's in here is enough."
It was only then that Judy realized what Jessica had just said.
Especially the part about the Girl being hers.
Holy cow, this woman! No way! She took down the other Veronica in just two days.
She even instigated the other party to run away with her.
Damn, even playing a strategy game isn't this fast.
Judy was profoundly shocked.
Sis, where did you learn that Technique? She still hasn't managed to win over a Girl herself. Could Jessica teach her this Technique to help her out?
Judy picked up the two chip and looked at them for a moment, her mood complicated.
"About this, I can't make a decision right now. I need to look at them first."
Judy finally came up with a compromise.
She inserted the two chips into the computer and began debugging.
The recording made by the two of them could not yet be called a braindance film; it could only be called a Raw Braindance Reel.
This material couldn't just be viewed immediately using a braindance headset; doing so would surely overwhelm the viewer's brain with excessive emotions and complex information.
Therefore, Judy first debugged the raw reel on the computer according to her reading format, and only then casually took out Jessica's chip and inserted it into the braindance headset.
Watching Judy put the braindance headset on her head, Jessica took out a cigarette and consciously went to the windowsill to relax, leaving the space to the Braindance Technician... A few minutes later, Judy took off the braindance headset with a complex expression and woke up.
She looked at Jessica leaning against the windowsill with astonishment, as if she were looking at a deity.
"How is it? Is it usable?"
Jessica blew out a smoke ring and asked casually.
Usable? This wasn't a question of whether it was usable.
It was that it was simply too good, too incredible.
Only then did Judy confirm that Berry definitely had something up her sleeve.
Otherwise, how could she come up with such an outrageous idea, only for the result to be so astonishing?
This film wasn't just good; it was fantastic.
It could easily rank in the top three of the best braindance material she had ever encountered.
As a Braindance Technician, 'good' in her vocabulary was equivalent to perfect emotional delivery and a narrative structure that fully evoked feelings.
Everything was recorded.
Jessica's initial lust for Veronica, followed by her aversion to Veronica's stubborn personality, then the rescue in the bar, breaking Veronica's secret, the heart-to-heart between the two, and finally the fighting scene it was full of twists and turns, maximizing the emotional threshold.
Because all of this was a genuine outpouring of emotion, the scene where the two hearts drew close at the end seemed so moving, so wonderful, it could almost rival religious oil paintings from the Renaissance.
Judy didn't watch Veronica's reel, but she imagined it would be just as stunning.
